Kamaal Ibn John Fareed (born Jonathan William Davis, April 10, 1970) known by his stage name Q-Tip, is a rapper, record producer, singer, and DJ. Nicknamed The Abstract. He embarked on his music career in the late 1980s, as an MC and main producer of the influential alternative hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest. He co-founded the production team The Ummah, followed by the release of his gold-certified solo debut Amplified. He released the Grammy Award-nominated album The Renaissance and the experimental album Kamaal the Abstract.

He has appeared in various films such as Poetic Justice, She Hate Me, and Prison Song, the latter of which he co-wrote and played the lead role. As a DJ, he has hosted the Apple Music 1 radio show Abstract Radio since 2015. He was named the artistic director for hip-hop culture at the Kennedy Center and he became the instructor of a jazz and hip-hop course at New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.

He is one of the most acclaimed figures in hip-hop. AllMusic states that he “led a jazz-based hip-hop revolution during the ‘90s”, calling him “the best rapper/producer in hip-hop history”. About.com placed him #17 on their list of the Top 25 Hip-Hop Producers, and #38 on their list of the 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time.

In high school, he participated in rap battles and went by the stage names J Nice and MC Love Child. He and Muhammad formed an MC and DJ duo, and using recording equipment provided by Muhammad’s uncle, they began making demos. They were joined by Phife Dawg, who rapped, and neighborhood friend Jarobi White; collectively, they were known as Quest. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Kamaal Ibn John Fareed (born Jonathan William Davis; on April 10, 1970) has his wallet. He is known as Tip, a rapper, record producer, singer, actor, and DJ. He started his career in the late ’80s as an MC and leading producer of the rap group A Tribe Called Quest. During the mid-’90s, he co-founded the production team The Ummah, which led to the release of his gold-certified solo album in 1999. In the 2000s, he released his second solo album, The Renaissance, which earned him a Grammy nomination.A Tribe Called was the subject of a documentary called Beat Rhymes &Life The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest. It gives an inside look into a part of the hip-hop genre that best defines me: the Native Tongue collection that was vibrant in the mid-‘90s. Outside of his music, Q-Tip has appeared in several films. He has also collaborated with several artists in hip-hop and soul. As a DJ, he has hosted Beats 1 radio show and Abstract Radio since 2015. In 2016, he was named the artistic director for hip-hop culture at the Kennedy Center. In 2018, he became the instructor of hip-hop and jazz courses at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Q-Tip and the rest of A Tribe Called Quest recently released an album a few years ago. He has spread his wings by working with various artists over his career. Q-Tip misses his friend group member, Phife Dawg, but still keeps his name alive. A Tribe Called Quest is a part of my favorite rap groups and released some essential albums in hip hop.

The song's lyrics were written by Paul "Prince Paul" Huston, Kelvin "Posdnuos" Mercer, David "Dave" Jude Jolicoeur, Vincent "Maseo" Mason and Jonathan "Q-Tip" Davis, and produced by Prince Paul. The title of the song derives from the roller skating fad of the 1970s, as well as a prominent sample of "Saturday in the Park" originally recorded by American rock band Chicago.

Doctor Who Series 13: Jodie Whittaker Leaving Rumours, the Next Doctor, and the Future

https://ift.tt/2SweahO

Jodie Whittaker is fast approaching that three-season milestone at which most Doctors pull the inter-dimensional rip-cord and eject themselves from the TARDIS. Speculation has swirled around her, as it does for most Doctors, from the very start of her tenure, and now, more than ever, there’s the strong scent of Regeneration in the wind. So, will Whittaker leave at the close of series 13? And if so, will any of her companions remain to bridge the gap between eras? Might showrunner Chris Chibnall also hang up his sonic-shaped pen? The BBC is playing its cards characteristically close to its chest, so divining the answers to these questions is not unlike trying to unlock the mystery of the Doctor’s real name.

There was an ample reminder of the BBC’s zeal for secrecy when Who-newcomer and beloved Liverpudlian John Bishop – cast last year as companion Dan – was rebuked for revealing during an online Q&A that his character, too, would be Liverpudlian. If the BBC don’t want you to know that a Liverpudlian might be playing a Liverpudlian, then this is going to be a bumpy ride. But let’s strap in, brace for impact, and see what’s (or Who’s) out there…

Jodie Whittaker on leaving

Everyone has their favourite Doctors, and not-so favourite Doctors. Jodie Whittaker is not alone in having had love and scorn heaped upon her in equal measure, a phenomenon that has touched most actors to have taken on the role, with the possible exception of Tom Baker and David Tennant, who stand as almost deified in their respective eras.

It’s clear, though, that Jodie Whittaker has loved every moment of being the Doctor, and of being embraced by the show’s fandom, telling the Telegraph in November 2020: “If you bump into a Whovian, it genuinely makes both of your days. There’s something emotional, poetic and very humbling about being in the show, because you’re a little tiny jigsaw piece of something that is so precious to so many people.” It’s perhaps understandable, then, that her response to the speculation around her departure was to say: “To even question an end point would be too upsetting.”

Or, to parrot one of her predecessors: “I don’t want to go.”

Where’s the evidence?

Over the last eighteen months, rumours that Jodie Whittaker will be leaving after season 13 have been endlessly shared and repeated. These rumours were reported as fact by some media outlets earlier in the year, though the BBC has steadfastly refused either to confirm or deny them. It does, however, seem more likely than not that 13 will be 13’s last; a supposition based upon the ‘Who Rule of Three’ and the unignorable sound of drums gathering pitch and pace across the internet.

In the hunt for ‘evidence’, dead-ends and red-herrings abound. IMDb currently reveals no projects rumoured or in pre-production for Jodie Whittaker beyond her TARDIS tenure, but, then, actors keeping contractual secrets would be fools to release their schedules onto one of the most comprehensive entertainment databases ever to have existed. So no help there.

The Mirror newspaper recently reported that the front-cover of the 2022 Doctor Who annual would be Doctor-less for the first time in its 57-year-history. Could this be a clue? Not likely. The people at Penguin Random House – the annual’s publishers – made it clear that the thirteenth Doctor will feature heavily throughout the publication.  So whether the new cover is simply a radical redesign, a yielding to the purchasing power of this era of the show’s vocal detractors; or a shrewd marketing move designed to have the product promoted for free in the press, it doesn’t actually tell us very much about the likelihood of the 13th Doctor’s exit.

Peter Capaldi’s Trouser Clue

We might, however, be looking for clues in all the wrong places. Peter Capaldi deduced that he’d be handing over the TARDIS keys to a woman a few days before the BBC officially broke the news to him: thanks to his tailor.       

At a New York Comic Con panel in 2017, Capaldi told the audience: “I went into Paul Smiths, which is a very wonderful clothes shop in London where I buy my suits, and everybody knows me in there. And they said, ‘We just got a call,’ they said, ‘from the Doctor Who office saying, ‘Can we have a pair of [Peter’s] trousers, but with a waist size thirty?’ … And I thought, ‘Well, that can’t really be a man with a thirty-inch waist. That must be a lady then’.”

Staking out Jodie’s tailor probably won’t prove fruitful, though. Knowing the BBC, they’ve probably plugged that potential leak by sub-contracting Jodie’s wardrobe out to a mute grandma living alone in a fortress atop the Himalayas.

Doctor Who: the behind-the-scenes causes of regeneration

Doctor Who: Which New Doctors Are Now Canon?

By Chris Farnell

Will the Doctor Regenerate in 2022?

Series 13 will consist of eight episodes, set to begin airing later this year. The Mirror reports that there will be two specials in 2022, although it isn’t clear whether these will be in addition to this year’s 8,  or whether we’ll see a split of 6 episodes in 2021 with the 2 specials being held over for 2022. A special – Christmas Day, New Year’s Day or otherwise – has become the traditional arena for regeneration, so if Whittaker is leaving, it’s likely that her final scene will come at the end of that rumoured second special.

Many think that the greatest evidence for Whittaker remaining as the Doctor until at least 2023 is our proximity to Doctor Who‘s upcoming 60th anniversary. After all, it would seem a shame to bow out before a big milestone, and it could be daunting to saddle a new Doctor with spearheading such a significant celebration. Still, the timey-wimeyness of it all means that even should Whittaker leave in 2022 there’s no reason she couldn’t make an appearance in an anniversary episode, perhaps alongside a few other previous incarnations. And 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the BBC itself, so it’s hard to imagine that the show won’t be doing something extra special to mark that, given that it owes its very existence and longevity to the broadcaster (Michael Grade notwithstanding). Whenever she leaves, 13 could easily have her cake and eat it.

Will Chris Chibnall leave after Series 13?

When Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole left at the end of ‘Revolution of the Daleks‘, Mandip Gill’s Yaz stayed behind. Yaz has been one of the new era’s most underdeveloped characters, so it made sense that she would get her chance to shine and grow in a less crowded environment, sharing companion duties only with John Bishop’s newly teased Dan. But as her character and her story seems so intrinsically linked to the Doctor herself, with the promise of more in-depth exploration to come in series 13, when/if the Doctor leaves, will Yaz’s story also draw to a close? Will only Dan remain with a foot in two TARDISes? All speculation at this point, and it very much hinges on which direction the writers take Yaz in this next clutch of episodes.

Showrunner Chris Chibnall – a lifelong fan of the show and, prior to his appointment as big chief, a long-standing writer for both Doctor Who and Torchwood – has been at least as divisive a figure in Who fandom as 80s helmsman Jonathan Nathan-Turner. Rumours regarding his possible departure have circulated with just as much frequency as those surrounding Whittaker. When asked about series 13, Chris Chibnall told the Radio Times: “I do know I’m coming back for a third season. Yeah, absolutely.” Within those words, if you look hard enough, exists the implied absence of certainty around future seasons, but perhaps that’s getting rather too Da Vinci Code about the whole thing.

While the stewardships of previous showrunners Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat spanned two Doctors each, this doesn’t mean that Chris Chibnall is guaranteed a crack at the 14th Doctor. Should Chibnall leave after season 13, among the writing team perhaps only Pete McTighe – who wrote ‘Kerblam!‘ And co-wrote ‘Praxeus‘ – has the experience to take over as showrunner, given his stint over-seeing the award-winning Australian prison-drama Wentworth. 

How might 13’s Regeneration Happen?

Each of the modern Doctors has met their end in the service of some great sacrifice, either to protect a companion or to save if not the universe then at least a world within it. It’s unlikely that 13’s exit will be any different. It’s simply a question of against whom or what she’ll be fighting when her time comes.

Though it may be too soon for the Master to be directly responsible for the undoing of yet another Doctor so soon after 12’s John-Simm-shaped downfall, it’s likely that the Master will at the very least influence the direction of 13’s regeneration. Sacha Dhawan has expressed enthusiasm at the idea of returning, though nothing, as you would expect, has yet been confirmed. Or denied.

The revelations in ‘The Timeless Children‘, controversial though they proved for some fans, are perhaps too epoch-shaking and era-defining not to play a part in 13’s swansong, and it may well be that the shadowy Division – the Time Lord’s very own version of Starfleet’s Section 31 – will be complicit in the Doctor’s fall.

Another question presents itself: now that the Doctor knows she has infinite regenerations, might it make her more reckless? Might she start to see her body more like an easily changeable suit than a thing of flesh and blood? Might she regenerate multiple times before becoming the 14th Doctor, a la The Curse of Fatal Death, and what on earth would we call the 14th Doctor – who wouldn’t really be the 14th Doctor at all – if that happened?          

Who’s in the running for the next Doctor?

Many of the same actors tipped as possible replacements near the end of Capaldi’s run have reappeared in the Regeneration rumour mill, including firm favourites Michaela Coel, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Michael Sheen, David Harewood, Richard Ayoade and the indefatigable Kris Marshall. Joining them this time are Line of Duty alumni Kelly MacDonald and Vicky McClure, and It’s a Sin front-man Olly Alexander. It could be that one of them, or none of them get the call. The next Doctor could just as easily be Jo Martin’s fugitive Doctor, who’s been hiding in plain sight all along.

Really though, as with all things connected with the show at this stage of its cycle: Who knows?

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Doctor Who Series 13 will air on BBC One later this year.

A Tribe Called Quest Biography

Biography I wrote when I was freelancing for Songkick.com, also can be found on A Tribe Called Quest’s Songkick page! 

A Tribe Called Quest are a rap group hailing from Queens, New York, United States that formed in 1985. Since debuting, the band have released five studio albums and have gone on to become one of the most influential hip-hop acts of all time.

The band grew out of the friendship between Kamaal Fareed (born Jonathan Davis) and Malik Taylor, who both grew up together in Queens, New York. Fareed was dead set on being a rapper from the start, while Taylor harboured dreams of being a professional basketball player but helped out on Fareed's demos that he made with a local producer by the name of Ali Muhammed. The trio started regularly working together in 1985, but Taylor was reluctant to join until fellow rapper Jarobi White joined as well, and by 1988, the classic line-up of the band had come together, and named themselves A Tribe Called Quest. At this point, Fareed had taken on the stage name Q-Tip,  Taylor took Phife Dawg, and after their early demos made the rounds, they signed a record deal with Jive Records in 1989.

Coming at a time when the dominant force of hip-hop was edgy, violent gangsta rap, A Tribe Called Quest's playful, uplifting style jarred against most people's idea of the genre. However, they still became cult heroes shortly after the release of their first album “People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm”, and the three singles from the album “I Left My Wallet In El Segundo”, “Bonita Applebum” and “Can I Kick It”, were top ten hits on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. The band spent the rest of the 90's as one of the most acclaimed rap acts of the time, but didn't see genuine commercial success until the release of their third album “Midnight Marauders”, which was a top ten hit on its release. Its follow up “Beats Rhymes And Life” was another huge hit, hurtling straight to number one and having a knock-on effect on the rest of their discography, with their debut album certified Gold shortly after the records release in 1996.

However, their relationship with Jive was straining more and more every day, and shortly before its release the band announced that their 1998 album “The Love Movement” would be their last as a band. The album was a huge, Grammy award winning success but the band amicably split in 1999, however, after some hugely acclaimed solo records, the band got back together in 2004, and to this day, they remain one of the most beloved live acts in hip-hop. As one of the most respected names in rap music, A Tribe Called Quest come highly recommended.

British iconic singer/songwriter/composer Sade Adu filled the heart of a wide range of audience with her warm,soothing voice and superlative records but above all she epitomizes the essence of integrity and authenticity as she said:

“I only make records when I feel I have something to say. I’m not interested in releasing music just for the sake of selling something. Sade is not a brand”.

In 1992 Sade unleashed the fourth album entitled Love Deluxe which includes the smooth masterpiece Feel No Pain.

  JOSE JAMES – TROUBLE (BAKER AARON REMIX)

No Beginning No End is a refined,amazing, creative and original opus performed by Jose James and in our humble opinion , it’s probaby his best project! The body of work is the result of a  meticolous,passionate and clever craft of a magic circle of bright musicians such as Richard Spaven,Robert Glasper,Pino Palladino,Kris Bowers,Chris Dave,Takuya Kuroda among others.

Kamaal Ibn John Fareed (born Jonathan William Davis; April 10, 1970), has his wallet on him. He is known as Tip and is a rapper, record producer, singer, actor, and DJ. He started his career in the late ’80s as an MC and main producer of the rap group A Tribe Called Quest. During the mid 90’s he was one of the co-founders of the production team The Ummah which lead to the release of his gold-certified solo album in 1999. In the 2000s, he released his second solo album The Renaissance which earned him a Grammy nomination. A Tribe Called was the subject of a documentary called, Beat Rhymes &Life the Travels of A Tribe Called Quest it gives an inside look into a part of the hip hop genre that best defines me which is the Native Tongue collection that was vibrant in the mid-‘90s. Outside of his music, Q-Tip has appeared in a number of films. He has also collaborated with a number of artists in hip hop and soul. As a DJ, he has been hosting Beats 1 radio show and Abstract Radio since 2015. In 2016, he was named the artistic director for hip-hop culture at the Kennedy Center. In 2018, he became the instructor of hip hop and jazz courses at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Q-Tip and the rest of A Tribe Called Quest recently released an album a few years ago. He has spread his wings by working with various artists over his career Q-Tip still misses his friend group member, Phife Dawg but still keeps his name alive.  A Tribe Called Quest is a part of my favorite rap groups and released some important albums in hip hop.  They were recently nominated into the   2022 Rock  & Roll  Hall of Fame. Q-Tip is one of the most prominent rappers and producers in hip hop today and is always on point.
