Ey guys, why everybody says qtip is underrated? Here in Europe is a legend for all HH fans who lived the 90's gold era. Is nowadays qtip forgotten in USA? 😢 The black culture was always kind of a mistery for me. Just listening HH u knew how different was the west/east but that was all. Now I realize how important is qtip for the culture. U have such a treasure there. I was heavily influenced by HH here across the ocean when I was a 90s kid and I'm extremely grateful.
