Although Q-Tip is now affiliated with Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music camp, Tip is making it known that his next album will be indicative of who he is. When Vibe asked Tip about the perception that his next album would be “all Kanye,” he replied by explaining what his next album, The Last Zulu, will sound like.
“It’s gonna be me, straight up and down,” he said. “That’s the thing about [Kanye West]. He respect me. I respect him. We all know what it is. I’m coming with that boom bap, unrelenting, lyrical, thoughtful, edgy, street…I’m really excited about it. It’s gonna be called The Last Zulu.”
Tip also opened up about “I Want to Thank You,” a song he did with Busta Rhymes recently. He asked fans to start a petition to make it Busta’s next single and he explained that the song is “crazy.”
“Let me tell y’all about this song I did with Busta Rhymes. It’s called ‘I Want to Thank You.’…The record is crazy.”
More from the interview can be seen below.
is this gonna be his LAST album?
That’s cool Tip does not NEED Kanye. He should keep doing him. I think some Kanye assists here and there would be cool, but let’s not forget that Q-Tip was the man behind all of Tribe’s classics, conceptually and production-wise. He’s gonna have some fire. Can’t wait to hear it.
Q-tip is outdated, hip hop washed up with his shit, aotp, chino xl, ft, sean price…get up to date with your shit, q-tip is STRAIGHT GARBAGE
translation:: Q-tip has linked with some fine fellows…is reconnecting and inputting some relevant history in the contemporay hip hop context…and hitting some shit downtown [rather than being your roomy in a ghetto rubbish bin]…
Howz about you wash up for a change? Your view is gabbage and you stink
Take a good look people/fans/haters/trolls there’s a living legend right there.

For a second I thought he was referring to Drake’s last album.
“this right here is YOUR favorite rapper’s favorite rapper”
Drake has never said anything about liking Q Tip.

The man that coined the phrase “Industry rule # 480…record company people are shaaaadddyyy”! My ni99a!
hell yeeeeah
#4080
The BOOM THE BIP…The BOOM BIP…
“Qtip da gawd”
What language is that???
Dear Q-Tip.
You know what would be great to see on your album? A Phife Dawg feature! A track on a Q-Tip album that gives them taste of tribe. We’re not asking for a tribe album here, just a tribe nod. Similar to when a Talib Kweli song features Mos Def or vice versa. It becomes the one track that makes fans say oh sh**! Like if DJ Premier would have gotten one last track with Guru (R.I.P.)…or if Phonte dropped a track featuring Big Pooh and 9th out of nowhere. The surprise factor would be crazy.
