YP Gets The Q-Tip Cosign

Posted on April 1, 2010 by Andrew Barber

I’m not sure what you had going on this week, but YP was busy getting shouted out by one of the greatest rappers of all time, Q-Tip.

In a recent interview with Brooklyn Bodega, Tip (no Cliff) was asked if there were any up-and-coming rappers he was checking for and the first name out of his mouth was Chicago’s very own YP.

BB: Are there any new up-and-coming artists you are checking for? People we should look out for?

Q-Tip: This cat YP from Chicago who is nice. This group SKI, Spree Wilson, Rocky Marciano from Brooklyn – he’s nice. Amanda Diva – I also fucks with her.


Can I get a “Holy Shit!” from the congregation?  Damn.  I honestly can’t think of a better hip-hop cosign than ATCQ’s front man.  I know YP & Q linked up a few months ago and are planning on getting it in again soon, but either way, congrats to YP for this look.  I even heard Q bumps Classified in the whip. 

Round of applause.

    You dope without this shit.Q Tip is washed up and sucks as a business man. I honor his tribe days but that's where it ends. Yall fishing for cosigns. These dudes niggas can't help you. They own record companies don't even return they calls.

    I REALLY DONT GIVE A FUK IF JIGGA CO-SIGNED HIM. IT DOESNT TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT HE'S BORING, FLOW IS DRY, MEDIOCRE RHYMES. ALMOST NON EXISTENT WORD PLAY. THERE'S PROBABLY 10 NIGGAS ON MY BLOCK THAT CAN OUT SPIT THE NIGGA YP. HE ON THE BOTTOM TIER OF FAKE SHORE RAPPERS.

    This is an interesting thing. To have someone like tip mention your name is dope (i read the article, it wasnt a co sign) so i respect that and offer the brother my congratulations. Its especially amazing because in my humble opinion this dude is the worst kinda garbage you can listen to, no content, no voice, no wordplay, no nothing. if he continues in the game i wish him all the success he can muster… its not like its about skills anyway. Its not hating if some shit is weak… and dude is weak. we cant criticize him though cuz hes grinding and obviously hes winning no different than the other million wack rappers that are at the forefront and draining the life from the artform. if anything this should motivate cats who actually got skills to get off the couch and put in the work. the blogs have to put this garbage up cuz its the only thing coming in. its a bad situation and it aint gone change…. less we change it
