Q-Tip – Kamaal/The Abstract Vinyl Me, Please. Rap & Hip Hop – RH071
The 2001 version of Q-Tip's multifaceted Kamaal The Abstract is the VMP Hip-Hop Record of the Month for July 2023. It's here on exclusive 180g Black, White & Yellow Segment vinyl with lacquers cut by Cicely Balston at Alchemy Mastering at AIR.
From the moment Kamaal The Abstract begins, it’s evident that this is Tip at his most free and vulnerable, musically, up until that point. Most songs transform into (and end in) extended jams or have solos sprinkled throughout (or both). Jazz serves as the base, with Tip and his band using its colorful and intricate chord progressions to explore funk, rap, rock, R&B and soul — sometimes all on the same song. The album is an artistic statement that’s just as musically bold as it is conflicted, with a playful Tip at the center of it all, just trying to find freedom through music.
