Hold On Now…Is Q-Tip In The Middle Of Putting Together A Tribe Called Quest Reunion ?!?!
The group has been doing shows here and there together, but nothing too major – major like an album. Next year, Q-Tip plans on releasing his LP “The Last Zulu” and he wants all four ORIGINAL members of A Tribe Called Quest to be involved. Q-Tip describes this next album as, “Hard. It’s gonna be traditional, like Zulu beats…old school Africa Islam tapes, with the drum breaks and shit like that.” This group was always on a different plateau from the rest.
