A History of Busta Rhymes & Q-Tip Collaborations

1998: A Tribe Called Quest ft. Busta Rhymes & Redman – “Steppin It Up”

While the album was entitled The Love Movement, there was almost not to be found on this track. Redman matched Busta Bus’ energy, perhaps even surpassing it at points, when he borrowed the latter’s adlibs and added graphic jokes into his rhymes. Q-Tip becomes way more active during this song, performing the hype man role for multiple of the emcees and shouting out the album’s title a few times. It may have contained one less emcee than “Scenario”, but it still contained all of the manic energy and the same posse love.
