Jack on new Tribe Called Quest album

Post by Kali Durga »

That photo Chris Rock posted a while back really was a tip-off (no Q-Tip pun intended, really). Jack and several others are featured on the upcoming Tribe Called Quest album.-- http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/arts/ ... share&_r=0
When Jack White came to the studio, things fell right into place. “We recorded so many tracks and ideas,” he said. “It’s one of those scenarios where we’re so excited to finally get to work together that it was exploding in a whole different direction. We really didn’t know what we were doing, it was just a ‘hurry up and press record’ kind of moment.” (Q-Tip and Jack White connected when he asked to do an old Tribe song called “Excursions” in his stage show. They learned they were mutual admirers of each other’s work.) Jack White came to the studio without his own gear. “He just took a guitar off the wall and plugged it in and just got his wizard on,” Q-Tip said.
"And the message is clear: if we want Jack White as our hero, he will entertain, but not pander. We have to accept all his flaws, whims, caprices and manias as a critical, sometimes uncomfortable, part of the contract."

So there are no ATCQ fans here on Swirl?

This should be different..cool to see Jack working on something other than that Nashville stuff.

I am way too tired to read that whole article. When is it out?

This news lit the fire under my ass to check out A Tribe Called Quest, started listening to Midnight Marauders as my friend who digs them suggested. Why did it take Jack White for me to get into these guys? Why the hell didn't I just jump on this shit sooner?!
