Q-Tip talks through A Tribe Called Quest's tracklist

After an 18-year break, A Tribe Called Quest is releasing its final studio album, "We got it from Here...Thank You 4 Your Service." Q-Tip gives Gayle King a behind-the-scenes look at some of the song titles in the album.

[@cardigansarecool]

"When I come back next time it's gonna be erased" "...yeah"

[@kingwithacapitalk614]

[@prod.mozmo3]

[@lifesagiftt]

Lmfaooo i love that part

[@Grace_acie]

🤣

[@lucnixon]

tip is so awkward i love it

[@nerdbamarich2063]

Duke Lol I know. I love that about him.

[@willscott7191]

i think he's more awkward than usual in this video because he doesn't really seem to like this woman but he's tryna be nice

[@jackrock121]

Will Scott it's more that he isnt the camera type guy he kinda like jay dee when it comes to this stuff

[@wahoo4uva]

I don’t see that about him at all. He may have been uncomfortable with Gayle taking liberties to put hands on his stuff - his white board, his records, etc.

[@Solitude633]

My favorite type of people

[@RandomPerson-jg5qm]

0:33 Tip rubbing his head with fear like "Woman, you better not go over anyone important's signature! we gotta rub yours out soon as you leave"

[@youknowwhatflav9916]

Loool he look kinda annoyed

[@littledoodle5689]

@Jayden Richards jayden bro funny seein u here

[@ericstrickland4357]

The album is a MASTERPIECE. It's like Tribe came back to say goodbye, give Phife a fitting sendoff while at the same time sounding like they are just getting started!

[@EarthdogGFX]

eric strickland this is sad .. im glad they said goodbye .. hiphop has been shit for 10 + years

[@ericstrickland4357]

It is man. I was on a treadmill listening to Phife on Solid Wall of Sound and got teared up for real. It's such an absolute triumph!

[@fairplayterrific147]

[@fairplayterrific147]

Naitsab Madlib Yeeeesssss! His brother Oh No is nice too. And the Four Owls(Even with a Gimmick like Owl Masks) are Dope as Fuck. Think Twice with DJ Premier is an all time favorite of mine, I live in the U.S.A but Man there's alot of Global flavor I fuck with thanks to Magazines like DJMAG and Mix Mag. M-Phazes, Snowgoons, Leaf Dog, Etc... but yeah I feel you, you have great taste Bless Up!

[@viralbuthow000]

Q-Tip voice aint broke yet.

[@toofine9]

Q tip always has been a lil strange and soft spoken but thats my dude

[@femalegirl924]

"That's Eloquent?!" New Classic.

[@jjbing3]

How she slick grabbed the pen before asking. Smh.

[@YourOnlyFriend5493]

It’s no boundaries in love 🥰

[@tomthefish6064]

They really needed a different reporter for this

[@BabeTheAstrologer]

They send the stupid idiot to increase abuse value.

[@aristothearies]

He is truly so precious😍😍

[@Llcooldaee]

trudence he really is sis 😭😍

[@illlmatic4life981]

I cannot wait to hear this album, I hope they win a Grammy next year. They are pioneers and it's long overdue.

[@sayvonoftreehousearcade9281]

illlmatic 4 life Do you mind checking out my music?

[@fairplayterrific147]

Forget a Grammy I would prefer a Special Tribute in Memory of Phife Diggy.....Nas has yet to Win one obviously the Grammys don't recognize great talent anymore....

[@lifeisthedash]

U gotta drop before 4th quarter to be considered for the Grammy coming the following year :(

[@Sirch100precent]

I will .. Will Check out my beats .. Need a rapper

[@Worried_Lord]

Sirch On

[@Decovia79]

Q-Tip doesn't show his face often. Thank u CBS

[@kenyettaready]

Decovia79 ikr. I just love him. I hope he has kids somewhere. a QTip Jr would be grrrrrrreat.

[@stupidflounders]

Her- 'When I come back next time, this will be erased' Him- 'yeah' Omg lol

[@post.hack.depression]

Tip was totally right about The Space Program. Such an amazing song

[@illlmatic4life981]

Great song, but The Sound Wall thou, that's some next level sh**

[@sparklingwater6130]

illlmatic 4 life agree that is my favorite so far

[@ElainaWilliams994]

I was drawn to Melatonin and Conrad Tokyo right away. Both are beautiful songs musically & lyrically. Great album overall.

[@post.hack.depression]

+illlmatic 4 life These are all fantastic somgs! Just shows how amazing this album is!

[@willscott7191]

by far my favorite on the album. cant stop listening to it

[@WesleyNiman]

"Look at all of these great people!... Hey! My name should be up there!"

[@dcf3601]

i absolutely love thias new album! Dis generation is one of my favorite bangers ! can't forget The Donald

[@MsKeepMoving]

Darnell Flowers the Donald is número Uno!!

[@dcf3601]

MsKeepMoving tru but don't forget about Dis Generation too, lobe that joint too

[@tallsmile28]

Dis Generation is an instant classic!!!!!!

[@dcf3601]

Alexander that's true! They all killed their versus especially Phife

[@lifeisthedash]

Busta is savage on this cd. And its not what they sample its how they usee itttttt.

[@brandonbarragan2300]

HIP HOP RENAISSANCE!!!!! ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏿

[@christophergriffin7344]

Tip going hard at Gayle.😂😂

[@djolivierastro]

0:39 'that's ELOQUENT???' lol

[@mmww_]

Do you know what sarcasm is?

[@iSee109]

I love Q-Tip's hair. That's the Buddha style!

[@nerdbamarich2063]

Larry Wiggs I do too. He's always been different and switches up his style.

[@dkonciousblkfemknightman]

I'm loving it as well..wanna do my just like his...

[@nerdbamarich2063]

D KNIGHTMAN go for it my man. he used to wear his hair like this back in the day as well..

[@fairplayterrific147]

Why are folks in the Comment section acting like Q-Tip wasn't active in the game since Amplified. Uh he did Release the Classic "The Renaissance" the Overlooked once shelved then released "Kamaal The Abstract" Album Produced for Busta Rhymes, Kanye, Roc Marciano, Termanology, And many others come on now Q Tip never went anywhere some fans just fell out of touch....

[@ericdavis193]

Long live the Native Tongues

[@radwizard]

I've been dreaming for a long long long time. :) Nirvana, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest are my favorite groups.

[@KBplay]

radwizard Your dreams came true this year

[@radwizard]

Yes sir it did!! Sad that Phife Dawg passed. At least I got to see them preform at Rock The Bells. 2016 is turning out to be an interesting year for sure.

[@jackrock121]

radwizard de la soul with a album and atcq with the last album something good had to come ouf of 2016

[@antuanjones6248]

I cant stop wont stop banging this album thank atcq

[@NilaktheProphet]

Man, I'm really glad they made "Space Program" Track 1. "Whateva Will Be" would've felt like a traditional Tribe opener, but Space Program is such a strong statement: Gotta get it together forever. I love that phrase.

[@babblelonius4787]

he didn't even ask that broad to sign lol

[@youknowwhatflav9916]

Babble Lonius gale is not a broad

[@LGKids]

Tip seems so humble and cool! Gayle cant fake the funk when Tribe is in the building! Im glad they are back and Backspin made my entire weekend by playing their new stuff and old stuff! Hip Hop Head like me was in Heaven! Peace!

[@kcflores9936]

just took a trip down memory lane...so happy when I am reminded of the realest still around...

[@TheRealNativeSun]

Look at those walls of vinyl! Love the tribe since they appeared on de la souls "buddy" remix. 27 years later there still my fav group.

[@TheRealNativeSun]

Greg Bindah No doubt. Oh!! He had a small bar on The Jungle Bros album too. Good times Native Tongues.

[@Tbirdication93]

Never tought ATQC would be back like this! Man they picked up where MM left of! And it wasn't just and old school type of feel it was legit ATCQ but current! I'm bumping it all the time along with RTJ3!

[@zmacb]

Listening to the album now. its amazing!!

[@pouplays1999]

really? where?

[@zmacb]

I really don't want to put the site on here as more people will know about it and it get taken down lol. tweet me @realzakbishop. It's actually a really good album. The space programme is a good track its track one. it's just like being in early 90's again. whole album is good though. ive listened once just started it again lol.

[@KB-qr4nm]

this will be the album of the year, if you love real Hip Hop support this 💯

[@gregc7699]

you can get it i was gonna put the link up than i though i might get in big trouble so decided against just google it but do me a favour buy it and support that real hip hop its amazing you won't regret it

[@MAARTN]

If you're a real fan, please don't download it. Just wait until it's for sale and buy it, do it for the artists that put in much work!

[@gyyuyuinjail6716]

Love his voice and awkwardness

[@tondekush]

my favs, Space Program and We the people. Good album

[@thomasgrey6309]

Just finished listening to the album. Loved it! I'm especially feelin 'Conrad Tokyo', reminds me of the Tribes roots with the mix of hip-hop and jazz, that 'native tongues' feel kind of style from back then late '80's early 90's, a lil pharcyde, a lil main source, even had the heavy flava of I think Roy Ayers in there, which also gave me flashbacks of the Jazz Funk days of the early '80's on pirate radio in London UK. JFM radio.

[@fairplayterrific147]

Yo if you haven't yet peep Stro Elliot-"Kamaal Coltrane"....

[@bl4xkrvng3r18]

My heart dropped everytime her arm went back to the board

[@MukiBk]

I'M TELLING U..just finished to listen the new album and IT'S SUPERIOR!!

[@thewarmestgarbage6007]

And the flows are mad

[@iammzjuicy5212]

I'm so in love ❤️ with Q tip

[@yohananeliyah]

Gayle “cause we like ladies” King

[@hobbes4222]

The tracklist on the board that match the back cover of the vinyl cover... that's dope to see the prototype on the white board.

[@kenny3194]

people are excited because it's REAL hip hop. Us true hip hoppers need this

[@Immadisonmurray]

Q-Tip 💓💓💓

[@notnormalrecords]

She rubbed one of the signatures off with her hand 😂

[@p215j]

I've been rocking the album non-stop since it dropped dope as fk! As Tip mentioned Space Program is awesome but my personal favorite is Melatonin, holy sh*t I've never heard anything like it. It's music to my soul. ATCQ Forever

[@brentdixon9074]

Word that one struck me off top too !!!!

[@p215j]

Brent Dixon I really can't get enough of Melatonin

[@marioanderson4214]

Like you Melatonin is my FAVORITE!

[@MsLeeDennis]

I love qtip!! Hes one of my favs!!

[@antuanjones6248]

[@Vaisin]

The Space Program is an amazing song!!

[@614Michael]

[@qrock639]

[@TheMisslauren1234]

[@mitchelljordan3521]

[@frederickallgood7592]

[@bokay3900]

I bet you she was baaaaddddd back in the day!!!!

[@electricreviews1909]

I love the space program!!!!

[@nothnbutheat5672]

He defiantly erased her sig right after she left

[@illlmatic4life981]

I listened to the whole album on Spotify and cannot wait to receive the CD. A welcome return and a classic in the making. hip hop has never sounded so good. Music that's relevant and sayin' sumthin'. I wonder what happened to the track, 'for the ladies'?

[@Eagles4life221]

I'm pretty sure that's the Melatonin track.

[@illlmatic4life981]

***** It's different track, if you look on the whiteboard the Melatonin track is the 4th one down.

[@Marismryan27]

illlmatic 4 life - the song- Enough💓

[@tyresesanders4750]

Q Tip so fine

[@AyebaOwl]

the new album was fire, I'm young so I'm not too familiar with these groups discography but it was really enjoyable!

[@robtaylor6098]

Check out Midnight Marauders and Low End Theory.

[@wuincy1]

He was mad asf she signed that board😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jayrz1728]

aww mannnn, look at his record collection

[@MrMitchell12996]

I Love how people associate soft-spokeness with homosexuality. Troy Polamalu was the same way and did you see how much of a BEAST that man was?

[@larjah4042]

Conrad Tokyo & Melatonin I love them tracks there.

[@SerjALovelyDeadBoy]

I hope I won't be disappointed by that album

[@ericstrickland4357]

I thought it was okay at first and then I realized it is a flat out masterpiece. It's not a 1992 Tribe sound but you can hear the chemistry, passion and love. They sound like kids theyre having so much fun

[@capn_l]

0:43 bro he is so funny 😭

[@TonkaToyz]

Beats satisfy me

[@elchappo3565]

One way I know Q-tip has Style.Look at his shirt🔥

[@daveid7369]

[@Mrs.Floyd1970]

[@ezequielrenovato6608]

"I'm gonna write something eloquent" *writes: Keep it real my nigga

[@birddogfreemann]

Like Gale knows a fuck about A Tribe called Quest.

[@banksofbarcelona3893]

A piece from abstract

[@tmdkennels]

I'm glad he said that he likes ladies at the end. This interview made me wonder.

[@LN-jb6ky]

Yeah same, something felt weird right from the beginning

[@19832006]

If he didn't like ladies then what? smh

[@ikarus19]

Nah... He's just high AF... that's all. You can tell by the way he keeps rubbing his head...straight outta my playbook. Sativa.

[@dkonciousblkfemknightman]

I heard that too...but...

[@LN-jb6ky]

van chi lol then what?

[@LauraSchooler]

Do you think Q-Tip bedazzled his own sweatshirt?

[@TonyTony..]

Conrad Tokyo!!!!!

[@triborogigolo]

song 4 the ladies isn't on the album tho.

[@p215j]

'Enough' is the song 4 the ladies that he talked about. He was saying we need to make a song for the ladies. Not the title of the track

[@frederickallgood7592]

make more

[@4thdimension771]

It looks like Q-Tip is slowly turning into Smokey Robinson 😂

[@ravingmavis5801]

Lovely apartment

[@wendypoo9914]

Before Gayle could even get to the door to leave.. he licked his finger and erased it..l KNOW he did! 🤣

[@alansenzaki4148]

She should have signed "What...Me Worry?"

[@jamesminnow]

Oh no, at 0:55 you can see she messed up the A on another signature with her hand. New album is incredible though, been said but it's true.

[@iranmaia91]

Who told her to sign the board? Nobody asked her.

[@shanetheoutlaw7918]

Who else saw the KDOT signature

[@nyvictoryvictory4356]

He belongs to tribe Netherlands heritage

[@xiomanaxoxoxo3212]

Tip: Somthin for the Ladies....Gayle: Cause WE like ladies.....Tip: yes WE do....

[@rhythmjones]

Space Program is the best song on that album.

[@aileraguilar3976]

I don't know why he didn't get Nas on the album. he would've he helped with the illmatic. not to mention common or mos def ?????

[@kenyettaready]

Ailer Aguilar hell yeah or even Chi Ali and a lil bit of Method man and throw in some RZA.

[@aileraguilar3976]

Kenyetta Ready I dig it (method man would kill it)

[@allinonethegreat]

Wtf Q-Tip’s kryptonite is a chalkboard eraser

[@Apemopo]

lol THAT'S ELOQUENT?!!? Q-Tip calling someone eloquent would be "mad props" as i understand the kids say

[@BeautyLoves88]

no, he was saying it incredulously like “what? you said you were gonna write something eloquent! & what you wrote was NOT eloquent!” lol
