Q-TIP has gone political. The rapper, formerly of the group "A Tribe Called Quest," will debut a solo album this June that's heavy on guest stars, including presidential hopeful Barack Obama, who speaks throughout one song. "I've got Norah Jones on there, but Barack is the big one. You'll see what happens, I can't reveal too much," Q-Tip told Page Six Thursday at the Details magazine party at Le Royale for his album, "The Renaissance," and a photo shoot he did for the March issue. Spike Lee also makes an appearance on the album in a number with a political twist.

2. It's just soundbites of speeches.

The album has already been out for a few months.
That article is almost a year old.
Pretty good record, though.

EDIT: A link to the song in question:

7. Thanks, the thread title is misleading. It should be "Obama Sampled On HipHop Album"

way it's written sounds like he personally appeared.

11. Nas sampled him too. Hell, everyone seems to be sampling

Obama these days. Not sure I like it. For instance, I wish Jeezy would keep Obama's name out his mouth.
