"...Becuz Q-Tip Is My Friend And He Asked Me To..."
Sat Oct-06-07 01:07 AM by FNF UP UP AND AWAY

          

So I've explained this to a lot of people...let me name drop a few:

#1 Fab 5 Freddy
#2 Q-TIP!!!!...THAT'S RIGHT THE LEADER OF THE GROUP HIMSELF!!!
#3 Common
#4 Questlove

and more....ahem....

"I DID NOT GROW UP ON ATCQ!!!..."

THE LITTLE GHETTO KID FROM THE MEAN STREETS OF THE WESTSIDE OF CHICAGO GREW UP ON SPICE 1, 8-BALL & MJG, NWA AND SNOOP DOGG...

I WASNT A BACKPACKER RAP ENTHUSIAST!!!...I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE...I GREW UP ON GANGSTA RAP!!!

HAVE I LISTENED TO MM IN ITS ENTIRETY?...NO!!!...(Sorry Quest)...

GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES AND YOUR SACRED COWS...SOME OF YA'LL MAKE ME SICK...

AND FYI WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY OFFERED TO ME I TURNED IT DOWN BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS OUT OF PLACE FOR ME TO BE HONORING THEM BECAUSE WHILE I WAS FULLY AWARE OF THEIR IMPACT IN HIP-HOP I WASNT REALLY AWARE OF THEIR MUSIC LIKE THAT...BUT GUESS WHO WANTED ME TO BE APART OF IT....HMMMM...HOW ABOUT...Q-TIP!!!...

SO NOW ARE YOU GOING TO HATE ON "ATCQ" BECAUSE THEY WANTED SOMEBODY WHO DIDNT REALLY KNOW THERE MUSIC TO HONOR THEM BY COVERING SOME OF THEIR MUSIC?...THINK ON THAT OKP'S

P.S. I FORGET THE WORDS TO SOME OF MY OWN SONGS ON STAGE...HEY IT HAPPENS...


THE COOL DEC. 18TH...

"SUPERSTAR"
A HYPE WILLIAMS PRODUCTION
COMING SOON

I will say that it would still be worthwhile to check out Tribe, the group and their music. The similarities between your music/messages, even with your proclamation of never hearing or listening to them, is just testament that history repeats itself.

I didn't grow up with Marvin or James or Sly but I'll be damned if their music isn't a part of my makeup. Music is devoid of time in its influence and Tribe's music is timeless and doesn't age (shit, at least to me)

Tribe is the most consistent and, my personal favorite, hip hop group of all time. The fact that Tip asked you to be a part of it is indeed an honor but I wouldn't get too caught up in forgetting the words to whatever or handing out online kneejerk reactions to whatever. Worse things can, do and will continue to happen.

i know people argue that consequence was never an 'official' member, but dude was all over beats rhymes & life, so he's worthy of a footnote. or as fwmj did, a parenthetical 3 = qtip, phife and ali, (4) = qtip phife ali and jarobi, (5) = qtip phife ali jarobi and consequence.

28. "Nobody Really Cares If You Listen or Not.."
In response to Reply # 0


          

It's the way that you dismissed a classic record that has touched millions of lives just to make a point. "I've never listened to Midnight and I don't care to". Personally, I thought it was immature and crass of you as an artist to talk that way about a record that changed my life, so I have a harder time taking your music seriously. You show no respect, so it's hard to respect you. And I repeat, it was the WAY you expressed yourself, as if to say "fuck Midnight Marauders, I don't need to hear that shit, you backpackers need to get over yourself". Handle your cool a little better, dude.

This pathetic whining about how a Lupe doesn't conform to your wishes makes me ashamed to frequent this site. Not just you, of course, you're just one of the whiniest.

But you can't get a pass for bullshit like this, you're the cat that gets the shit smacked out of him if he acts like this in public, don't come here so you can express whiny self.

You should be ashamed of the way you're acting, you're acting like a 6 year old.

You think I'm a Lupe stan? I'm not. I like his music, just not as much as I hate whiny internet cats crying about how Lupe hurt their feelings by not giving their precious enough attention. Grow some fucking skin, I can't believe you survive in the real world.

In response to Reply # 45


  

          

It's late here, and I've been working for around 14 hours on this thing that I've been working on, and visiting OKP has been my periodic momentary respite during this time. I've been getting a little short in the last few hours with what has seemed to me to be an overbearing hate on the boards lately over every little thing.

That last response was a little over the top, but I meant most of it. This sort of petty self-important hate/whining is one of the things that makes me embarassed about these boards, it really gets pretty bad here. This Lupe fiasco is just a microcosm of it, where everyone has their own idea about how an artist should be conforming to how he or she wishes the artist should be, and then whines because it isn't so. You want to see changes made make your own records dayum.

But lol on calling me on my crankiness, sorry if I was a little harsh.

lol, i appreciate you being diplomatic about it, that's love.
To clarify, I don't care if Lu hates Tribe, loves Tribe. I'm only giving Lu shit because I think he's talented. Too talented to try to be a badass about not liking a milestone '90s record. As a listener, I think he's so busy trying not to look irked by public opinion. In his efforts to appear inpenetrable, he just looks vulnerable anyway. In my opinion, he should drop the 'you can't figure me out' act and write phenomenal, honest music. My intentions are not those of your run-of-the-mill underground fundamentalist. I'm on a different page. I can appreciate where you're coming from, but that's not my bag.

Peace, man.

your biggest non mixtape songs are songs that fit in the vein of music tribe/the ummah did and have been songs made with folks that hold them in high regard.

irony and sarcasm as emotional armor is for pretentious teenagers.

you're bigger and better than that.

i been listening to tribe since 89. i still don't know what q tip says in the hook.

He's pretty damn wack. I ain't gonna judge what dude wants to listen to but its kinda suspect that he would be into the *gangsta* rap, but his music doesn't reflect that. I mean normally an artists music reflects who their influences were/are. Lupes music is reminiscent of the Native Tongue movement, which *according to Lupe* he obviously wasn't checking for, begging the question who DID influence his style.

He's just full of shit to me. The more he talks, the more he exposes himself

this is a new era. it pays to be diplomatic. why? b/c people don't have to buy your cd. and unlike the dubbing era, posting a link containing mp3s of your album can 'dub' a copy for dozens of people outside someone's circle of friends (globally, actually), said dozens of people who then can virally spread your work to dozens more.

right now, you're getting reverse word of mouth. discussion boards are where some of the most fervent 'word of mouth spreaders' are...these are the people who pull other folks' shirt sleeves and insist folks listen to little known artists or artists who may only have one song on the radio (say, kick push, for example). so, now you have a small circle of upset people who when your name comes up, they think 'oh yeah, the guy who came off like as a--hole at okayplayer'. shrug.

me personally? someone sent me your album. i was actually going to buy it, then this whole midnight marauders fiasco broke out. i watched how you handled yourself and you came off pretty badly. so, my impulse to buy turned to an impulse to shrug (see shrug above).

and my impulse to spread the word about your music evaporated too.

(insert shrug)

obviously you don't care about any of this though. good luck on your path.

it really wasn't all that. dude said 'never heard it, not particularly interested'. that's all. no need to get all 'well eff you too'; folks are acting like he said 'tribe is WACK and i refute their importance' when it was actually 'yeah they're important but i got other things lined up before i go listen to MM'

ps. i've never listened to Reflection Eternal's album, and i don't have any particular interest in going back to see what folks were geeked about. but i'm cool with that one song where mayne man clarified how to say his name...

447. "I'm just dealing with how he came off interacting with his fans"
In response to Reply # 172


  

          

People who liked his music were offering to send him MP3s of Midnight Marauders for free and dude was like 'I don't want to hear it'. Tribe is a well respected group, he's friends with their 'frontman', and a bunch of his fans were urging him to check it out. That was strike one, just on some 'wow, my fans want to give me something they'd like me to check out...f--k that' throw-a-gift-in-the-garbage steez. Strike two was when dude came back repeatedly on some 'nyah nyah nyah, I still ain't listened to it'. Strike three was when dude was invited by Q-Tip to honor ATCQ and this cat couldn't take the time to get the lyrics right. I mean, come on. Remembering your lyrics is MC Stage Performance Rule NUMBER ONE. Not remembering someone ELSE's lyrics during a TV taping of a tribute to them after being PERSONALLY ASKED by one of their members to perform is f--king ridiculous. It's unprofessional and it shows a lack of respect for his craft. And now he comes here AGAIN on some 'I f--ked up the lyrics AND WHAT?'.

How childish is that? He ethered himself...

The funny thing is, Tip asked him to perform. Spice 1 probably doesn't even know this guy is alive. SMH.

see, the 'no, i don't NEED to listen to Tribe' thing is ok- i saw a lot of beef with that first transaction and i have no problem with Lupe on that issue.

but after thinking about it, damn- he came back for what? cats that flamed him out are the LAST cats he needs to tell 'btw, Tip asked me to rep 'em and i still have not and don't NEED to listen to Tribe'.

and the worst part- it'd just have been a li'l 150post thread about his very very minor error if he would've stayed ghost on the issue instead of coming off like 'ha, Tip is asking me and i STILL ain't listening to his music!' ('specially when you factor in the 'ps- i fooked the lyrics up too, oh well')

69. "this is silly."
In response to Reply # 28


          

Artists have been making controversial statements about the accepted Canon(s) of any given artform or genre - far more controversial than any quote Lupe's put out there - for ages. Controversial statements about a tradition's classics have virtually built pop music. And, like Lupe's, they're usually statements that, if we were two unknown folks just having a conversation together, would hardly be regarded as inflammatory but rather as the sharing of opinion and something to poke fun at someone over... the genesis of a new recurring inside joke...

In all the heat over those various controversial statements, a lot of arguments have been made for why artists need to show respect to a given tradition, indeed immerse themselves in that given tradition.

But never... never... never has the excuse you've made above been used... which basically amounts to:

"You neglecting a record hurts my feelings."

Say what?!?!?!!?

And you know what, thats cool.

But if you're going to do a tribute for an artist, any artist and you don't even take the time to learn the words to their hit song off of principle, "I don't listen to (insert said artist here)" you're wack. Thats the lamest excuse ever.

Why the hell did he agree to do perform if he didn't know the lyrics, then?
To make a point?
To sound badass?
If so hes failed on both counts.

You're a grown ass man; you don't need to explain yourself, especially when you're living the dreams most of these cats are still chasing. That said, just like a singer studies the classics to become better at their craft, you could only benefit from at least giving tribe & co a listen.
