some dude, Monday, 4 July 2011 23:58 (twelve years ago) link

All of that first Tip album is garbage. Utter shite.

the love movement's production is really underrated. some of the best stuff dilla ever did imo. didnt hurt that tribe put their normal engineering stamp on it either.

I despise The Love Movement so much. I tried to go back and listen to it with fresh ears last month but after a fantastic opening track I just feel like the entire rest of the album is ATCQ shitting in my ears; primarily using flat beats with no syncopation was really not my bag at all.

Pulled the trigger on "Vivrant Thing." May be the only time I've ever not voted for Erykah when she's on the ballot.

i could go for most of these really but i'm voting "got til it's gone" because the weather achieved in that track is something special, i think.

like every element of the song seems transmitted from a distance? janet's voice, the sample, the bass. the only thing immediate and intimate is the rhodes which is basically predicting voodoo

preschoolin' life (BradNelson), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 15:34 (twelve years ago) link

I dunno, I'd say Janet's voice sounds very intimate (but not immediate) on that song, like she's telling you a secret.

Listening to the last two minutes of "Drop" and wondering how I didn't vote that.

ephendophile (Eric H.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 16:38 (twelve years ago) link

i have a hard time thinking of "Drop" as anything but an annoying sample with a schticky video

hoovers like jagger (some dude), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link

tbf music video never gets to the song's denouement.

ephendophile (Eric H.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 16:52 (twelve years ago) link

So many good choices, but in the end nothing else hits me quite like Didn't Cha Know.

and I think Let's Ride may be the best of those 1st wave of Tip solo singles. As great as the other 2 are, I don't think that big mainstream club bangerz were really the best look for a Q-Tip.

I heart the "Drop" video--that's beautiful schtick.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 23:01 (twelve years ago) link

Fine by me.

ephendophile (Eric H.), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 23:03 (twelve years ago) link

they're all awesome awesome songs

YOUTUBE ...the people over there tell the truth. (stevie), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 23:05 (twelve years ago) link

the beatminerz remix of drop is better than the original
