Negative Positive
Title: Seems most 'Tip fans wanted more of the same....
Review: Q-Tip's 'Amplified' is at first listen, a cut-up funk party album. Tracks like 'Vivrant Thing', 'Breath and Stop' and exudes a funkiness which remains consistent throughout the whole album. Most of the production is handled by Jay Dee (otherwise known as Jay Dilla responsible for one half of Jaylib) and his magic touch is definitely appreciated by this listener. Production aside, Q-tip's vocals are smooth and he retains all the charm from his A Tribe Called Quest days. Don't buy this album thinking 'A Tribe Called Quest Solo Version', 'coz it ain't. It's Q-tip just doing his thing, and damn does he do it well.
Is the review positive or negative?
