Q + C = The Standard

2007年08月31日 23:29

In an exclusive interview with XXLMag.com, A Tribe Called Quest frontman, Q-Tip, reveals he’s forming a new group with Common entitled The Standard. “Me and Common [are] getting ready to form a group,” ‘Tip tells XXLMag.com.
“We’ll probably run it through the Uni [Universal Records] joint because we’re both on Universal.”
According to The Abstract, it was Common who suggested the two from a group.
“It was more of his suggestion,” he says.
“He was like, “We just need to do a record.” So I’m really excited about that.”
While the two haven’t started recording together yet, The Standard will start churning out material once the two starting touring together in a few weeks.
As far as the production on the album, though, fans can expect Q-Tip to handle the majority.
“I’m probably gonna do a lot of it,” ‘Tip says.
“And we’ll get Kanye [West] on a couple things, but you know, that cat is busy.”

Whao!
Q-TipとCommonの夢の共演が、いつしか実現しそうです！！

XXLMag.comへのインタビューに答えたQ-Tipですが、ワクワクですね。
「僕もCommonもUniversal Recordsに所属してるわけだし、やればできるよ」というのがTip氏の考え。
「Kanyeにも一枚かんでもらおうと思ってるんだけど、なにしろ野郎は忙しいからねえ」とも言ってます。

とりあえず、CommonとQ-Tipは共にツアーを回ってライブパフォーマンスを重ねる事でお互いの調子を併せようと言う計画だとか。
それからスタジオでのレコーディングに入るとか入らないとか。

それ以前にずっとお蔵入りし続けている、もはや都市伝説となりつつあるQ-Tipの新作の行方もファンとしては気になるところですね。
