He has very few songs that he has sole production credit over... not knocking his greatness but we don't know the extent of what he's done in a lot of ways... I wanna know who found the Electric Relaxation sample
in the documentary he made it seem like he did all their old shyt. shyt made me wonder wtf Ali Shaheed was even there for at least on the first 2 or 3 albums.

eh, from other people I heard Muhammed was the real genius in the studio. Q Tip is also a dikk and would be the type to take more credit than he has

Dude even needed Dilla for his solo LP

Was Ali doing outside production in the 90s?

I asked this question before in the dre vs tip vs premo thread but never got an answer.

When you have production teams like tribe, how do you know what their contributions to the songs were unless they explicitly tell you? Just curious.

The songs in op are tip's joints...but I'm specifically talking about group material(which was being factored into the dre vs tip vs premo thread)

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Production team like Tribe?? Watch the docu. Tip produced the bulk of the first 3 Tribe records. The nikka produced most if not all of Low End Theory
:wow:

It was only on the last 2 records that the production collective The Ummah (Dilla, Tip, etc.) produced the tracks. Before that it was mostly Tip.

Top Ten easily IMO could be in my top Five honestly just for his Tribe work and his solo stuff is great too (The Renaissance :whew:)

no but that could just mean he was putting all his efforts into the group, dont mean shyt
You would expect music insiders at the time to know and reach out to whoever was the creative force behind Tribes shyt. So if Tip was getting the calls...
