Q-Tip / Kamaal The Abstract

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

I’m really enjoying this almost decade old record to the point that it baffles me why it took so long to finally get released. Last year Q-Tip knocked it out of the park with The Renaissance and this year with his amazing live performances and now the re-release of Kamaal The Abstract.

The album is composed of mostly groovy live instrumentation, reminiscent of full-length albums by James Brown and Prince, and is widely praised as a solid effort wrongfully restrained. It is considered to be highly superior to the disappointing, Amplified.

You can watch these somewhat interesting/dull webisodes right here if you like.

You can listen to the album in full right here.
