Video: Q-Tip Interview w/ NBC Talk Stoop

LOL
I swore Tip was wigging out when he went all Islam on a brother.
I can respect it but it still seemed like his transition was mad quick.
One minute he was smashing Angie Mar and performing “Breathe & Stop” on the Chris Rock Show and the next he’s rocking robes and a kufi, burning incense and hocking black soap. It just seemed strange to me.
January 10th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
I had to learn not to fuck with small cats with fake Cartiers and straw hats/stick em on a mixtape they think they all that/just breezing through/never sounding reasonable /son,whatever the cost you know it’s feasible/you bought your way in the game your rates is seasonable.

not at all. people have forgotten the healing powers of food. real talk.
The modern age has basically been the homogenization or westernization of everything. people swear that if it ain’t what western science (the same muhfuckas that created the health system we currently enjoy) deems correct then its somehow looney tunes, but I think in more cases than people care to admit that thats no longer the case.

late pass for everybody in this thread. today i think i’ll mention Radiohead and the fact that i’ve hated how the “Soul by the Pound” remix was released as Common Sense’s first single, but said version did not exist on his debut album, ‘Can I Borrow a Dollar?’. i mean, even the lyrics were different on the album version. i’ve always considered this bullshit. okay, so i’ll check back in another two weeks to see how far you guys have gotten.
smh @ Mgmt & the Firm

In the past, whenever I started seriously dating a girl, I’d ask about her sexual background to get an idea of how many they had been with and the degree of their kinkyness. When i first started dating the wife 12 years ago we had several conversations on the topic. I knew she had been around some just because we had run in similar circles back in college. I knew of at least three men she had been with because i too was acquainted with these men. It seems however that there were several others as well. She never would share a specific number but from piecing all the info she shared, i have come up with a number between 30 and 45. Most interestingly thoguh was one occasion she shared with me that i will do my best to describe here. Now, for starters, the wife is built very similarly now to as she was in college. She is about 5’1, weighs about 190 lbs, has big brown eyes, brown hair, and despite being big is very proportionate. Her best assets are her huge tits and her plump ass. One day as we were looking through a box of pictures from her college days, we were flipping through some piles of photos when i noticed her pulling some and placing them behind her. I asked her what she was doing and she jsut sort of shrugged it off saying that she wanted to get rid of some photos. When i asked to see them, she became somewhat defensive saying they were private and she did not need to share everything with me. She then grabbed the photos including the ones i was looking at, put them in the box and took them into the bedroom. She must have thought that would be the end of it. I followed her into the bedroom and an argument ensued. I asked her what she was hiding and told her she could share anything with me. After a few minutes of arguing she softened her tone and said if i wanted to see them that was fine but added that they would probably make me angry. I of course told her i loved her and that we both have done things in our past. To be continued
January 10th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
She then said to go ahead. It was not hard to find the pics and i could see why she had hid them. To be truthful i can’t remember which one i saw first but in all there were probably 15 pictures that she would eventually dispose of. In one picture she and another woman i could not identify were both wearing wet white tshirts which clearly revealed the their nipples. I can still recall the photo quite clearly with her smile, the two bodies (one plump, one thin) and mostly i recall the crowd of men surrounding them, several of whom were black. But there were more which i will describe, but not int he order i found them as i really cannot recall. There were roughly 6 photos total from this night with the two women putting on a wet tshirt contest. When asked what this was she had said that she was dating a guy from the basketball team and they were just partying afterwards. Of course, i was a little stunned but not much as i knew she had been around and i also knew she was inclined to such behavior especially when drinking. There were a couple other photos of her in a skimpy two piece swimsuit at what looked like a pool party. I wish she still had that swimsuit btw, her tits were busting out. In yet another photo there was a picture of her dressed up standing next to an older guy. When i asked who it was she said a guy she dated. i mentioned that he looked a little old and she then said he was in his forties (but it was quite obvious he was in his late forties). When asked if she slept with him, she responded “yeah, so?” While i am sure she did not want me to see these photos, it was one group of photos in particular that she wanted to destroy and in some ways i wish i never saw them, in other ways i will cherish their memory. There was about ten of them total. I will describe the ones i can remember. In one she was standing between two black guys and all she was wearing was a pair of white panties with black polka dots. To be continued

Ayo.
January 10th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
the men were wearing clothes and i can still recall how she was looking up to one of the men smiling as though he had just told a joke. I can also recall how lovely her tits looked, big and full. As i looked through them she was speechlees as was i. In another photo from this particular set, she was satnding ther with a hand around each of the men as they each held one of her tits up to their mouth. But it gets better. There were about five photos of her entirely naked, on a bed, with the men. In one she was laying flat on her back as one of them was doing something with her pussy as the other looked on with a smile on his face. In another, she was compltely spread with her hands spreading her gap open, again the two men were in the picture but this time they were stansing back watching her. Then there was picture of her sitting on the bed nude smoking a cigarette in an apparent conversation with the men. in one photo she was laying on her stomach face down as each of the men were spreading an ass cheek revealing her anus, and i will never forget that one of the men were just pointing at it with his mouth open and his eyes wide. Then there was a pic where she was standing on the bed over one of the men. She was nude still and he was just looking up at her as she looked directly at the camera with a determined look on her face which was both curious to me but also a turn on for reasons unbeknown. In the last photo i can recall from this set she was sitting on the edge of the bed and had her hands on the pants of one of the men who looks as if he is pulling away. It looks like she is trying to pull down his pants against his will. When i was done looking at the pics i was a little mortified but also turned on. I looked at her and asked” what the fuck was that? did you fuck them?” she then started to tear up and came close to me, placing her hand on mine. I was not as angry as i let on but felt as though i needed to appear angry. I asked again “did you fuck them?”

it was then that she spilled the beans. Apparently these pics showed only a fraction of what she did that night. It turns out that she went through an extremely slutty period for awhile during her last year in college. She said she was so clean cut in high school and that she had sort of made some poor choices with friends etc. On this particular evening she had agreed to entertain a small group of basketball players. She said thay told her it would help the team (i am not making this up). It also sounds like she was friends with several of these guys so it was not a random meeting. Anyway, they apparently took her to this hotel and thats how it started. I asked how she got naked and she said she just stripped when she got there and she said it as if it was no big deal. i asked if she did a strip show and she said no, that she just took off her clothes. apparently there were three of them there but others would stop by during the night. She said they started by partying, drinking and she fully knew she would be fucked that night. Well it all started with some pictures. when i asked who else has the photos she claimed only her as she took the film from the camera b4 she left. I also asked why she just didnt destroy the film and she said nothing. Well, apprently after the photo shoot the three men pulled a train on her. I asked if they fucked her all at once and she said no, that they went one at a time and they all wore condoms (which still makes me wonder if they wore them because they were afraid of what they might catch or if she insisted). It appears that she spent the entire night in that bed and that several others stopped by just to fuck her that night . of course i acted angry and she was clearly upset and apologetic. Over time she would open up more about that night and we as a couple became more honest about our sexuality. She knows i am turned on by the thought of her with other men and she has done a good job of satisfying my fantasies.
January 10th, 2010 at 11:53 pm
we would talk about that night she was the subject of a train several times. I would find out that she was fucked by 9-10 men that night, that her pussy was so sore the next day that she had to spend most of it in bed, and that she sucked several cocks that night as well. It also turns out that she did in fact enjoy it. She said, and i quote ” i had a blast but did feel slutty afterward.” most shockingly was the fact that she apparently did this on two other occasions. Today she would never do something this slutty but she certainly has her moments. By the way, i did ask her if there were any pics of her being fucked and she said that she didnt think so that one of the guys told one of the others to put the camera away before he undressed.
