Q-Tip Joins Pharrell Reminisce Over The Summer Of '86 In Preview For Tonight's OTHERtone Radio Episode
In case you haven't tuned in yet, Pharrell's OTHERtone Beats Radio 1 program has been a fertile ground for fellow music nerd/pro music supervisor Scott Vener and himself to geek-out, spin and discuss their favorite cuts in glorious detail. The show's played host to guests like A$AP Rocky, Tyler The Creator and various others, but this Sunday's episode has a very special sideman lined up for listeners. The one and only Q-Tip (whose own Beats 1 program Abstract Radio has also been a must-hear on a weekly basis) is gracing OTHERtone this week, bringing his encyclopedic hip-hop brain to your internet radio dial. A preview of this weekend's episode finds Tip & P reminisce over the summer of '86, both spry at the time, but alive and feeling the vibe of a pivotal year in music. They hit play on Eric B. & Rakim's indelible classic "Eric B. Is President," and there's the immediate nostalgic recall, with Tip having to stand up and do the wop, running through it's variations with expert precision. You can watch Q-Tip join Pharrell and Scott Vener in the booth below, just be sure you tune in to hear it all unfold. Rumor has it, you might even hear another unreleased Neptunes cut...
