www.whoisrp.com I had to post this one when I came across this clip. Q-Tip was doing his thing on stage when out of nowhere, The Artist Formerly Known As Prince blessed the stage. Enjoy!
If Prince walks up to you and says, "hand over the guitar," you hand over the guitar. No questions asked. And if/when he gives it back, you put it in a case and never touch it again.
And as large as the Purple One 💜 is, he doesn't come to out shine you, to take the stage from even though he can lol. He shows up, puts his thing down as to compliment YOUR work. He truly is a music purist. The 21st Century Amadeus Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, all rock and rolled up in 1 short lightskinned brotha lol.
Incredible video. Michael Rappaport (who directed the Tribe doc): "Q-Tip somehow never flinched or hiccuped or stopped rapping for even a second as Prince arrived, and that’s incredible because, per Scratch, nobody even knew that Prince was there, let alone that he was going to go on stage."
Q-Tip and Prince have been good friends for years so I'm not to surprised by this. Prince is friends with a lot of rappers, including Ice Cube, Eve, Ludacris, Common, and Doug E. Fresh, just to name a few.
Prince came out to jam with Qtip because Qtip appeared on the 2009 Lotus Flower album as a feature so this was Prince way of giving another favor to a friend
This is not surprising to me. Prince and Q-Tip have been good friends for years and Prince is known to do this with his buds. Prince has shown up unannounced at concerts with Larry Graham, Doug E. Fresh, Stevie Wonder, Raphael Sadiq, Lenny Kravitz, Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle, and many of his good friends. It's cool that it was recorded though, lol!
Questlove idolizes Prince. His triumvirate of music gods are Prince, Michael Jackson and, the best that ever did it, J-Dilla. He actually has photos of all 3 of them on his dressing room wall for the Tonight Show.
My #1 music hero hitting the stage with Q-Tip. He's so cool, he could just show up to any gig he feels like and rock out and the shit will still be tight!
his majesty is in the building. that cat can play anything and on any TRACK. true musicianship. props to TIP for keepin' the flow. that's peace. later.
That was very nice of Prince to jump up and add some funk. The other guitarist wasn't playing much anyway. Prince took it to another platform...we should all learn from him.
Lol.... Ok they good cause if that was me, I would've started stuttering and everything when I seen Prince walk on stage ...lolol... Q said they thought it was impersonator at first until he started playing...lolol...that was awesome
So from what Ive read, even though Q-tip and Prince were friends, he didnt know Prince even showed up let alone take the stage. Anybody know if that was true?
sbcjraid I found this video from an article on Medium called a Tribe Called's Bests by the Ringer in the Ringer. It has a short account by DJ Scratch about the performance.
@DooG29 He probably didn't ask Prince. Prince is known for going to concerts unannounced and just walking up on stage and asking for an instrument. Who's going to say no to Prince? But since it's not planned then people don't know what to do which was probably why Q-Tip didn't stop.
I love how he just gave up the guitar with no questions. The respect is everything. I love this so much.
Turned up the speaker too

@@KiraKiraSekai1 facts!!!!
When prince walks on stage and demands the guitar, you give him the guitar #pause 😂 zero questions
@@KiraKiraSekai1EXACTLY!! 😂😂
This is why Prince is so dope. HE always jams with other artist....
And as large as the Purple One 💜 is, he doesn't come to out shine you, to take the stage from even though he can lol. He shows up, puts his thing down as to compliment YOUR work.

RIP to him!!!
I would never play that guitar again
Hahahhahahha me EITHER!
BRUH! I WOULD'VE PASSED TF OUT!
It’s definitely blessed and worth a fkn BAG these days! 💯🎸
I can hear him in my Dave Chappelle Prince voice..."you're welcome".... 🤣🤣🤣

Man Prince was like, “lemme do this one real quick.” and just dipped lol 😂. Real skill 💯💯💯🤦🏾♂️🔥🙌🏾
That fact that they paid to see Q and was blessed with the opportunity to see Prince…… no extra charge.
That moment was golden for everyone!
These the moments that would have us paying a stack easy for the show
Ayyyyeeee the crowd went wild when that GOAT came out...lol
Prince showed up, played two guitar rifts and bounced 😂 blouses!
2 whoever "thumbed down" this Epic Performance, u must live a sad life 😎
They were born in test tube lol

Chuck D. (aswell)
Big Daddy Kane too
DJ Quik
Who else can show up and play for a minute-and-a-half and turn the show out?

Ha-ha! At first, I thought this was a joke, then there was PRINCE on guitar!! LOL
I wish Prince played longer. One thing with rap is you can't really play guitar to it. Only rhythm mostly. I wanted to hear him solo!!!!!
This is so awesome. Makes a great song even better.
P lit that fkn Stage up!!!! 🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I would have lost my mind!!!
Epic!!! RIP Prince💜💜💜
This is so damn EPIC!!!!! Geez!!!

He's just Prince now. Prince is returning the favor. Q-Tip is on Prince's CD Lotus Flow3er
Audience shits their pants.
Bruh, Prince rocked your guitar. My Response: And? My get by guitar is now a collectible....
Lol.... Ok they good cause if that was me, I would've started stuttering and everything when I seen Prince walk on stage ...lolol... Q said they thought it was impersonator at first until he started playing...lolol...that was awesome
OH SHIT JUST GOT REAL!
Thats some crazy shit! I would have lost it if the Purple One showed up on stage out of nowhere. Don't look for the funk the funk will look for u!
I would've fainted!
IF NOTHING ELSE PRINCE IS A TRUE MUSICIAN. HE GETS BIG PROPS FOR JAMMIN' WITH Q-TIP. IF PRINCE FEELS HIP-HOP ... SHOULDN'T YOU?
Prince has been dabbling in Hip Hop since Sexy MF, if you think about it.
So from what Ive read, even though Q-tip and Prince were friends, he didnt know Prince even showed up let alone take the stage. Anybody know if that was true?
sbcjraid Yeah apparently no one knew he was even there or that he would go on stage and play.
sbcjraid I found this video from an article on Medium called a Tribe Called's Bests by the Ringer in the Ringer. It has a short account by DJ Scratch about the performance.
Prince did the same with TLC at the Fanmail tour NYC show someone has the footage but never been released (that segment) publicly
I just want more Prince. I'm sure you do too.
as a fan of the tribe and also of prince, am so happy 2 see doz 2 legends in the same stage
DAMN!!!!!! PRICELESS. RIP PRICE. SEE! RIGHT HERE LET'S US KNOW Q TIP IS THE MAN!
i pray that prince will walk out on stage at the next concert i go to.
@DooG29
