While appearing on the red carpet for the annual BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta, noted wordsmith and A Tribe Called Quest member Q-Tip was questioned by MrPeterParker.com about the artists he’s currently feeling in Hip Hop and went on to rattle down an interesting array of talent.
“I really dig Meek Mill, Kendrick Lamar, my boy Chainz. It’s a lot of emcee’s though actually that I like. I like people like Murda Mook, Iron Solomon, Loaded Lux, Aye Verb…I like a lot of those guys,” Q-Tip divulged.
The Tribe rapper also shared his thoughts on the status of Hip Hop, revealing that he believes it’s currently in a great place and is beginning to reflect the socio-political climate.
“I feel like it’s in a great place right now. I feel like we’re starting to refocus and retool,” the rapper explained. “I feel like it’s coinciding with what’s happening socio-politically.”
Q-Tip’s comments on the Hip Hop game come shortly after the rapper, who was not featured on Cruel Summer, revealed that there may possibly be a G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Winter album in the works.

Qtip was like I was just online looking at trash….ef it …let me shout out the batttle rappers …lol
you buggin. q tip been down with this battle shit for years. and fyi, battle rappers are the best rappers in the game. q tip recognises even if stuck up deluded lames like you don’t.
They are not the best in the game most dont how to make a complete song rap on beat or make a good hook….thats is fact. Anything else is crazy.
Wasn’t Tip at that URL Mook/ Solomon Battle? Isn’t Solomon Signed to Talib Kweli’s Label??? I Smell pussy.
Battle rappers are down there with the worst in the game. Their content is all abuse and negativity, and they couldn’t make an actual song to save their life.
hip hop is better right now than it has ever been.
real talk, its something out there for everybody….
Uh, no it isn’t…
Its definitely better than it has been for a long time, maybe the last 5 years at least. So much dope stuff coming out. You just have to listen to it.
Lol this nigga said real deal. haha didn’t expect that
Iron Solomon murders rappers.
yea hes a good battle rapper..his lines arent what make him a beast though, its the energy he puts into it..not a huge fan cuz im more into the music part of hip hop rather than battling, but i still gotta respect the dude
iron solomon is one of the worst battle rappers I’ve seen thus far, Murda Mook D.E.S.T.R.O.Y.E.D. HIM. Aaron needs to use some of his jewish connects and get outta rap, or someone is gonna embarrass him worse than mook did…
“Hip Hop is in a “great place right now”
…not.
Farrakhan is the best!
lol, I respect Q-Tip’s opinion and all, but 2Chainz is straight garbage.
Iron Solomon is a great battle rapper but that dude can’t ride a beat to save his life.

Q-Tip comments on being a DICKRIDER of everyone from 2 Chainz to Iron Solomon
Only reason he dickriding Titty Boi is because they both on the same label.
WHY IS IT GOTTA BE DICKRIDING?? THE NIGGA REALLY AINT ALLOWED TO LIKE SHIT U DONT LIKE???
typical cocksucker talkin shit. hip hop is in a great place right now? 2 chains, blah blah blah pls keep quiet and give us one last Tribe and keep your Cruel Winter album, dont need that shit.
It really infuriates me when established, credible rappers and producers say they like psuedo-rappers just to sound like they’re hip…most of those bastards suck, and so does his GOOD music “family” (except for Pusha, but they’ll screw his project up)..make a new Tribe album or STFU…
people got hip hop fucked up.. its not dead NOTHING ever happened to it its still here. people still talking the same bullshit. listen to nas and big. they were on some dope shit back in the day. now these new artist on some dope shit. i love pac. 2chainz big. snoop before R&G. dj quik but they aint gonna be around forever. its time for new music and a new sound.. its still hip hop. niggas just runnin out of ideas.
