Q-Tip
What? In the rap game it's all about credentials, and Q-Tip has 'em: From his 1989 appearance on De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising to Tribe Called Quest's 1993 magnum opus Midnight Marauders and his collaborations with the likes of Slum Village, Busta Rhymes, and R.E.M., the New York rapper Q-Tip is a hip-hop renaissance man.

The Spin Interview: Q-Tip
Kamaal "Q-Tip" Fareed is the leader of Queens, New York–based group A Tribe Called Quest, whose innovative first three albums are perhaps hip-hop's most universally beloved -- by both fans and critics. Tensions plagued 1996's disappointing fourth, Beats, Rhymes and Life, and the trio split in 1998.
