While he’s not combing through pictures of luxurious drapes and then buying those luxurious drapes with his piles of money, Kanye West occasionally does music-related things. You know, like put out records and singles and sign people to his record label G.O.O.D. Music. Before we continue, may I ask, what does G.O.O.D. stand for? What’s that? Google it? Fine, it stands for Getting Out Our Dreams. You are unbearable, invisible internet populace.
Back to Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music and all it entails. Mr. West (Mr. West! Mr. West! Mr. West!) has signed a few legendary MCs (Mos Def, Common, Pusha T), along with some slightly less legendary MCs (Kid Cudi, Cyhi the Prynce). Chalk up one more for the legendary column, as Consequence of Sound reports that Q-Tip has signed to G.O.O.D. If you didn’t know, Q-Tip was a member of the vastly important hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest and you probably already know this information. If you were not aware, well, hey, go listen to The Low End Theory. It is rather good.
Though details are pretty scarce, Q-Tip does plan on putting out his fourth solo record next year through the label. Tentatively, that album will be called The Last Zulu. But by the time it comes out, it could be called anything! It could be… The First Zulu. Really? That’s all I could come up with? Jeez.
