Q-tip - The Renaissance
I believe the imagery for this album cover is perfectly suited to everything about this album and almost tells the story of the album. The meaning of Renaissance as stated in the dictionary is "a revival of or renewed interest in something : rail travel is enjoying a renaissance." This really state what Q-tip did with this album. After being dropped from 2 record labels because of the company's beliefs that the albums where not commercially viable, Q-tip took it back to the basics with this album. Which can also be seen with mpc-2000 which is replacing Q-tip's face, which is the basic tool of model hip hop. Simple but stylistic!
