Grammy Award-winning song for Best Music Video
A lead single from the album "The Velvet Rope," it won the Grammy Award for "Best Short-Form Video" in 1998.
This track is a quintessential preview for the album "The Velvet Rope." The ensemble boldly samples Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi," with Q-Tip's raw, unpolished rap accelerating and piercing the listener's eardrums. The intricate vocals support the soundscape, which surges forward as a mass of sound, dominating the entire piece. The refined sampling sense embodies a new horizon in R&B, while the dry soundscape resonates with late 90s neo-soul.
