Personnel: Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes (rap vocals); Meda Leacock (background vocals); Korn. Producers: Jay Dee, Q-Tip, DJ Scratch. Engineers include: Steve Souder, Jason Groucott, Ken "Duro" Ifill. Recorded at The Hit Factory, New York, New York. A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip has played a very important role in hip-hop. And though loyal Quest fans dreaded the day that the members of the threesome (sometimes foursome) would go their separate ways, everyone longed and waited patiently for the highly anticipated Q-Tip solo joint. With that in mind and a mic in hand, Q-Tip comes correct on his debut album, AMPLIFIED. With this album, the Abstract One makes it clear why his music has been so influential. The always-original Q-Tip is the type of rapper who makes his own trends. He also possesses nearly peerless skills as an MC and producer. The club-ready "Breathe and Stop" makes it hard for anyone to stay off the dance floor, and along with the album's other tracks, helps carry out a more mature hip-hop sound. Throughout AMPLIFIED, collaborations are kept to a minimum, allowing Q-Tip to show off his versatility. Two exceptions, however, are "End of Time," which features rock stars Korn, and "N.T.," a track on which Q-Tip shares the mic with longtime friend Busta Rhymes.

  Makes me wanna breathe and stopReview created: 02/05/00 by: tee_na -- a member of Epinions  Pros: Will make you bounce and mellow you out at the same time- Ya can't beat that. Cons: Image is nothing but Yo I got a thirst? It's not surprising that I am a huge fan of this album since I am a big "Tribe called Quest" fan. It hurts me to say it but I was disappointed by their last album (snifle,snifle, cry, cry), so when I heard Q-tip was going solo-to say I was thrilled is an understatement (Now we are so happy, we do the dance of joy, com'on you remember "Perfect Strangers", admit it) So I tried not to be to excited because I didn't want to be disappointed but I couldn't help it. And let me tell you I not at all disappointed, I dig almost every song on it. The one song with "Korn" (who I also love) sounds a bit like a Sprite commercial but besides that I have no complaints. A lot of the album has that mellow "Tribe called Quest" feel to it but he also strays a bit and puts out a few songs with some real energy (Virant Thing, Breathe and Stop) that are just made to make you bounce at a club! He that crazy cool flow that he has always had, as if this rhyming was just effortless. I would say if you're a hip-hop fan (if not whatcha reading this review for, I'm not talking about ear hygiene here:), if like "Tribe called Quest", if you've heard Q-Tip on the radio and dig it, then you must get this album. Don't wait till you get paid, don't wait for one more song to come out (you'll forget, what's that CD I wanted to get again...), sell your house or car if your must but run out and get it. If your not a hip-hop fan, you think "Tribe called Quest" might be something you heard about in history class, or you mistakenly happened upon this review. I say what the hell get it anyway (What can I say I love Q-tip, I guess that makes me biased) Review ID: 10000000000419525 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
