Q-Tip Performs at Blender Theatre with New Member of Tribe?

Posted by Will

I gotta to be honest with you; I was kind of skeptical about a Q-Tip solo performance. I did not think he had enough solid solo hits to carry a show. The guard outside of the Blender Theatre in New York City agreed with me as well. Of course, it turned out I was totally wrong.

Former Tribe Called Quest front man, Q-Tip, was phenomenal. Q-Tip started, almost right on time, carrying a ferociously cool and hip swagger. This was definitely a different Q-Tip than the one we all grow up on. His style was modern and confident, and he sung most of the hooks in his new songs from his up and coming album, which will hit stores late winter 2008.

Q-Tip has proven to be quite the performer on his own but it sure helped to have a live band and legendary EPMD DJ Scratch supporting his groove. I had a fun time watching him, especially his joy in being onstage; it was infectious. He showcased many of his classic lyrics, like “Footprints,” “Electric Relaxation,” and “Higher”, and even invited a fan to recite the Phife Dawg’s words to “Check The Rhime” (Check out the challenged and video below).

What a way to kick off CMJ 2007. There’s no doubt Q-Tip’s performance will be one of the most talked about shows of CMJ 2007. You can catch more Q-Tip clips - and those from other CMJ performers - throughout the week on this blog.

Irv Gotti Says he never got with Ashanti

Irv Gotti addressed all of the Ashanti rumors during a recent visit with the "Trey the Chocolate Jock Morning Jump-off" show at Power 92 Chicago.

According to co-host Kendra G, Gotti explained why his The Inc. artist is not featured on his new VH1 reality show, why their professional relationship soured and whether or not they really slept together, as the mogul insinuated during an interview with NY jock Wendy Williams.


He explained to Power 92: "I was on the air with somebody [and] that's what they do...so I felt no need to say like, 'Naw, it's not true' because all they were going to do is just keep at it. So then it became this whole thing, but you know I never said that, I never said that I slept with Ashanti or I have been with Ashanti."

'Gotti's Way' Supertrailer:


The reality TV show "Gotti's Way" will follow Irv and his crew as he begins the journey back from desolation. Can he take Ja Rule back to the heights of a platinum selling king or is his time in the limelight over? Will Irv's unlikely pairing with pop singer Vanessa Carlton produce million selling hits or an album that no one wants? Can Irv take a street thug like Flashy and create another star or just another rapper with unfulfilled promise?

The true heart of the series, and the man, lies within the dynamic relationship between Irv and his family; Deb, his estranged wife (and best friend), and their kids Angie (15), Sonny (11) & JJ (8). We'll see a family as they try to continue forward as an unusual, but successful and loving unit. But, Irv's crazy work schedule will constantly pull him from his family - creating tension with Deb. Deb will begin dating again, forcing Irv to play babysitter while she is out on the town. And after years of legal separation, Deb will officially file for divorce, forcing both to re-examine what kind of relationship they have - and ultimately want. Will the challenges of rebuilding his empire strain his family beyond the breaking point?

This is the story of a fallen king fighting for his throne and of a father fighting for his family. Follow the journey of hip-hop's greatest comeback this season on "Gotti's Way".
