As one of the most beloved hip-hop ambassadors of our time, he deserves another chance. Thankfully, Tip delivers what we were hungry for. I'm not ranking it, I'm just saying that it hits the spot. \"Won't Trade\" is nineties hip-hop reincarnate with its simple dusty loop, soul sample, and Tip delivering snappy monotone lines like he was 18. I've already praised the single \"Gettin Up,\" but what really makes it cool, is the basement-style scratching on the album version (another reason to get the single) that leads directly into \"Official,\" which sounds like a 1999 \u003cstrong\u003eSlum Village\u003c\/strong\u003e white label. Album-only quirks... what I'm hungry for.

And for all those grown-n-sexy, new jazz-loving heads (I see you Neil Nice), Tip delivers half an album of that with collabos with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/search?options[prefix]=last\u0026amp;q=Raphael+Saadiq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaadiq\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAmanda Diva\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eNorah Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/search?options[prefix]=last\u0026amp;q=D'Angelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eD'Angelo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
