I 've been listening to the 2 singles , " Vivrant Thing " and " Breathe and Stop " . And what I've been worrying so much was that they were party rap tunes, not the type of work I expected from Q-tip. And when I heard the full album, it sounded quite similar in sound with the last album " THE LOVE MOVEMENT ". A latest Ummah sound production, with reverved piano and organ loops with a bass that you don't get a clue what it's playing or if it's playing at the first place. 2 tracks were produced by DJ SCRATCH, and this had a latino taste. In lyric , and probably the main theme of this album was to be a floor tune with lyrics like " A real good girl is dancin' ............." thought of concept. If anybody felt like "What the heck is he doin' ? " and not satisfied about color of this album, you should try listening to the secret track " DO IT BE IT SEE IT ". That might make you more at ease and that'll make you get the idea of the album more smoothly. This is a song with Q-Tip tellin' his own story about " It was not luck that I got here. You can do it.... " . What he thinks about the carrer he passed, with heart hitting lyrics like " I had a fight with Phife...." , and " Plus my house burnt down ..." (That made all his LP collection burn....) ..... The songs that I like are " Higher " , with a real Jay-dee taste and "Let's Ride " with a Wes Montgomery like guitar loop. What surprised me was the song " End of Time " which features KORN!!!! People might feel like I didn't enjoy the album very much , but I never said that it was wack.... The problem is that this is not a ATCQ album but for starters for a Q-Tip album. Otherwise you won't enjoy it...... |
