Q-Tip and Common Form New Group, The Standard

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.”

That's dope! I feel Hip Hop is turning into the right direction.

^^^^I'm not convinced just yet! Common's album has stalled out @ way less than gold. That's definitely not a good look for authentic hip hop. He's at less than 250 thousand. People are yappin about "real hip hop" but they sure aren't buying his records!

this may look good on paper, but i'm not so sure. the few articles i've read regarding tip, they haven't been good. Common better be careful.

Let's be real.....Q tip has never been a beast as far as lyrics. Phife Dog was the lyrical dude of that click.

What are you talking about dude?!!? In my opinion Phife definitely isn't better. Q Tip knows how to write great stuff. Phife is amazing too, but he definitely doesn't out shine Tip.

Back on topic.

I'm very glad that Common and Tip are going to form a group together. Wow, those dudes are some of my all time fav. emcees. I think that they can be very successful together if they work at it, and make a record that will be 100% better then all the no talent crap thats out there.
