- Q-TIp has officially squashed any rumors of A Tribe Called Quest reunion. on New York's WBAI 99.5 FM Underground Railroad show. "Unfortunately, I don't think so," Q-Tip said of a reunion. "Um, we were talking for a minute about doing something...We started getting like, offers for shows. Like we got [an offer] to come to Japan to do one show for like, I don't know, $600,000 and L.A. for half a million and all this crazy, exuberant money."

Even with the large sums of cheddar, he said himself, Phife and Ali Shaheed Muhammad aren't likely to reunite right now. He cited, among other things, changes in the hip-hop landscape and each artist's individual work. "We, at this time, are not going to be able to do it," he said. "But who knows what's gonna happen, knowhutimean?"

He also said his Kamaal The Abstract project on Arista likely won't be dropping on that label, but a deal with DreamWorks is in the works. According to Q-Tip, the new deal will involve an entirely new recording. (Good. The album sucked!)
