Never mind producer, Tip is probably in my top 5 favorite MCs alone. It is the grain, yeah, but also how sly he is about pushing the beat. He sounds laid-back but he feels urgent.

yeah, it's unique to sound that conversational and also be that in the pocket

According to its season announcement on Tuesday, the Kennedy Center has named Q-Tip its first artistic director of hip-hop culture. The 45-year-old rapper, a founding member of New York City hip-hop pioneers A Tribe Called Quest, is expected to begin curating performances at the Kennedy Center this summer. According to a press release, “Q-Tip will establish a dynamic, new program that will stretch across all disciplines, bringing the historic roots, contemporary expressions, and transformative power of Hip Hop to the [Kennedy] Center and local and national audiences.”
Let’s hope he does the job as well as Jason Moran, the jazz pianist who the Kennedy Center promoted to artistic director for jazz in 2014.
