Q-Tip + Common = The Standard
Hip-hop yuppies rejoice: Q-Tip and Common are forming a hip-hop supergroup. Or superpair, anyway, according to an exclusive interview with XXL.They'll be called The Standard, which we're assuming is a hint that they will set the bar for excellence, rather than a nod to nailing hot wannabe actresses at a rooftop hotel pool. Q-Tip maintains that it was Common's idea: ''"He was like, 'We just need to do a record.'''" The Abstract will handle most of the production, but they're hoping to snag Kanye for a couple tracks as well.

Q-Tip's involved, which means the label will invariably shelf it. Don't even get me started!

If it can get on Kanye's or ?uestlove's label, it'll make it in the stores. The question is: will the radio play it?
The concept already got me feenin' for it...
nilelata
ya its a great concept.. the guy who had the best rap album (And highest selling ) of 06, and is well respected and one of a kind lyracist , with the guy who brought us the best in the 90's before breaking up with phife dogg and the rest... what more could u want?
and if q-tip makes beats that remininsce of the old tribe called quest jazz infused beats, then its def going down.
