Fans sleep on Q Tip’s production, ‘Shook Ones’ all time classic

[@KardiFan2000]

@@yYungSean He didn't do "Shook Ones"... although he contributed greatly to The Infamous album.

[@shottashabazz6721]

Q-Tip did the beat for Drink Away The Pain and reworked drums and chords on a few other songs. I think he took over the mixing for the album to. People for whatever reason sleep on his production skills though.

[@ShawnCman]

I always liked his remixes to Road Runner by Chi Ali And Get Down by Craig Mack...🔥🔥🔥

[@boondoggle4820]

Really? I’m going to have to check out LL’s new album then.

[@renderuntocaesarwhatiscaes2300]

He’s made some awesome music genius some would even say. I get chills thinking about Q Tip actually being on the chorus for nas’s 5 mic first album where only one rapper actually guess appears on that would be AZ. Q Tip did the course for one love. Like he has decades of music he’s made or been around and it’s been all time great.

[@TheEmeraldCity]

He also produced it

[@trevorjames4619]

You could say Pete rock as well was a guest.

[@cynthiamartinez2106]

I'm a Triber for life...and infinity. I miss these days of Hip Hop, but I'm sooo happy I've experienced this love of music.

[@yommish]

Q-Tip is still an underrated producer. It goes Pete Rock, Premier, Large Pro, RZA, Q-Tip, etc… no question he’s in there with the best East Coast producers of that late/post-golden era (89-94)-arguably the best era. Congrats to all of Tribe, in the physical and spiritual, for being recognized by the people who love your music.

[@abelabera8502]

The evolution of Q-Tip continues… we will see him as the Quincy, Steve, of hip hop when it’s all set and done. One of the greatest yet humble artist in this ego filled industry . This puts a smile to my face. Tribe forever.🫡

[@Distrakt]

A true and living contemporary legend. Thankful to witness because the impact is real on the culture.

[@VeronicaRamirez-NWI]

"Legacy is to inspire others to go beyond what we did " I hear wisdom, humility, longevity, honoring the past and the future of hip hop. Absolutely iconic. This is the spirit of hip hop. Not the "I'm better than you culture. It's giving "we are better together and let's see how far we can go together." I love it. ❤ It's everything I love about hip hop culture. We rise together when we build together. Much honor and congratulations to A Tribe Called Quest.

It’s cool to see that Tribe impacted so many people the same way they impacted me. I feel so lucky to have grown up during the time that I did. The Low End Theory absolutely defined my middle school years. It’s the first album that I loved so much that I listened to it over and over again and dissected it from beginning to end. And I still remember the day I got home from school and put on Midnight Marauders for the first time and just about lost my mind I was so pumped, lol. Thank you Tribe for being a defining part of my youth and making me love hip hop in its most honest, purest form.

[@khozee]

"We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service" was 10/10!!!! I'm glad he brought that album up! Also, can't believe he shouted out T, that's amazing

watching this got me a little teary-eyed. the first Tribe album i ever got, once i was able to make my own money, was Beats Rhymes and Life on cassette. Stressed out had me in such a chokehold when i first heard it. I became an instant fan. of course, as i got older, I discovered earlier material and then Q-tip's solo stuff and his features and it's been no looking back since. What a time to be alive. I'm so happy that they were inducted, along with many of the other favorites that also were inducted as well. So many of us that laid the foundation and worked tirelessly in our craft. Chaka should've been in yearssssssss ago.
