Okay so Q-tip is finally coming thru with an new album this October titled The Renaissance, and one of the singles, produced by the late J-Dilla, "Gettin' Up" has been making it's way around the blog circles. It's a dope track and it's been getting the approval all around because of it's laid back piano sample coming courtesy of the Black Ivory track "You and I". When I first heard this sample in early '06, it was coming off of a Madlib track "Understanding" off of Stones Throw's jukebox, before they released Movie Scenes. Anyway, I love the way this sample is used in these 2 tracks, and the original is just one of those old soulful falsetto-singing-Stylistics-type jams, i've always been into.

"Understanding (Comprehension)" Madlib, The Beat Konducta Volume 1-2: Movie Scenes (2006)
"Gettin' Up"- Q-Tip, The Renaissance (Coming Sept 12, 2008)
for more info on Q-Tip's new album peep this, and here's the single.
"You and I" - Black Ivory, Don't Turn Around (1972)
And one more thing, when this Q-Tip album drops, let all make an effort to buy it. Not only will it let let Motown Universal know that QUALITY Hip-Hop still sells, It will also help in the current financial troubles of the Dilla estate. More on that later......
