Q-Tip Talks Learning From Pusha T & Jay Z

Can't wait to hear more from this dude..

-Tip spoke to Complex magazine about the upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation Cruel Summer. The rapper/producer revealed that he contributed heavily to the project and shared that he learned a few things working with Pusha T and Jay-Z in the studio.


"One thing I got from Pusha from watching him and his description of things, his approach is really interesting because he really immerses himself in his music. We all do, but his way of doing it is beyond words. It's amazing to watch and see how he does it," he said. "Watching Jay do lyrics and watching 'Ye do beats, you see similarities in yourself to them. Sometimes when that happens you are like, 'Phew. I'm not the only crazy one. They do the same shit I do.' That's a learning point as well. When I've seen Jay do lyrics, he'll sit back and spit the rhymes himself, he'll leave a bar or two, he'll come back to it another day and fill it in. He'll go away and think about and come back two days later and fill it in. I'm a person who will fill that in. And I've seen 'Ye do it too. It's a technique thing."
