2008 album from the former A Tribe Called Quest rapper, his first solo album in nine years. Produced primarily by Q-Tip with plenty of live instrumentation and a love fixation, The Renaissance is a stark portrait of the artist as an elder statesman. One listen to the frenetic drumming and strutting live bassline of a track like 'ManWomanBoogie' reveals that Q-Tip is on a mission to create original music as timeless as the tracks he used to sample once upon a time. Q-Tip is in his own extremely capable hands for the remainder of The Renaissance. Long known as a grand talent behind recording-studio mixing boards, Q-Tip has blessed a number of diverse artists with beats throughout his 20-year career: Nas, Mariah Carey, Mobb Deep, Whitney Houston. Since his start on the Jungle Brothers' 1988 "Black Is Black," music fans have waited on solo Q-Tip in one form or another.

The Renaissance is the second studio album by American hip hop artist Q-Tip, released November 4, 2008, on Universal Motown Records. The follow-up to his solo debut album, Amplified (1999), it was recorded after Q-Tip's Kamaal/The Abstract (2009) was initially shelved in 2002 by his former label Arista Records and his proposed effort Open was shelved by Universal Motown, both deemed commercially inadequate by the labels. The Renaissance was produced primarily by Q-Tip. and features guest contributions by D'Angelo, Norah Jones, Amanda Diva, and Raphael Saadiq.

Q-Tip ‎– The Renaissance. Label: Universal Motown ‎– B0012213-02. Country: US. Released: 06 Nov 2008. This is one of those albums that you don't have to skip no songs. Its very well put together and a creation of musical art. This deserved to be album of that year but you know how watered down corporations has made real hip hop, sad for this masterpiece. Reply Notify me Helpful. One of the, if not the best Hip Hop albums of all time! I dare to even compare it to All Eyez on Me, which is really hard for me to do.

Renaissance Rap is an unlisted track on Q-Tip’s The Renaissance album. Though it’s the unofficial title song of the album, it was appended to the end of Move and begins abruptly at 2:48 minutes into track Even though the song was not given a standalone track number, it was given it’s own music video. In the three minute clip, Q-Tip doesn’t perform the lyrics of the song, but instead follows a loose narrative that results in him recreating the album cover of The Renaissance, holding an AKAI MPC beat machine up to his head. com/watch?v G6mzS7lIFrc

The Renaissance shows Q-Tip musically free and happy, something we didn’t see since his days with A Tribe Called Quest. The album starts out nicely with Johnny Is Dead, a grooving light hearted introduction to what the rest of the album has to offer: calm and jazzy hip hop. That’s really all this album, it tries to take you back to the good times when hip hop was more focused on making interesting music, and it sure does succeed. I’m sure everyone has heard Getting Up and came out a happy customer. What’s not to be happy about" Getting Up excellent piano-based groove created by the.

The Renaissance offers a compromise between the rootsy East Coast rap he helped to define and the LP you imagine the label wanted.
