Q-Tip
Album: Kamaal the Abstract
Release Date: September 15, 2009
review:
2009 release from the acclaimed rapper and former member of A Tribe Called Quest.
This long-delayed album, slated originally for release in 2001, is finally dropping!
A musical hybrid, Kamaal was commendably avant-garde at the time of its creation.
Amazingly, it’s even more apropos in 2009; given the dearth of musical merit
and capable MCs in today’s Hip Hop, the time is ever-so-right for Tip. Kamaal
the Abstract is an intensely idiosyncratic and revealing record. To that end,
Q-Tip produced the entire album himself, even playing several instruments. What
comes from Kamaal is daring m‚lange of Soul, supa-cool Jazz, head-nodding
Hip Hop, and organic Pop magic in the vein of Stevie Wonder or Prince.
