What a hot CD!.......2000-07-13

This CD is hot for many reasons. First off it has Vivrant Thing, which is a tight song. Then they got the remix, which is even hotter. If you like Vivrant Thing but you don't want to buy the Violator album this is a good alternative, especially if you're a big fan of Q-Tip. The remix is a good dance song ¿tú sabes? I recommend to all Q-Tip/Vivrant Thing fans.

Why do people hate this song.......2004-11-12

This because it is Q-Tip is a good song.The kind of song that fits just his style.May not be good for Nas but the way Q-Tip raps it is meant for him

Hmmm....Nope, Not Feeling It.......2000-01-09

"Vivrant Thing" was a big disappointment for me. I love A Tribe Called Quest and hearing Tip resort to this just tore me apart. Tip's lyrics are way too simplistic and trite and the beat is somewhat catchy, but annoying. I got Amplified and turned this up loud to see if I'd get up and dance, but no. It didn't do anything for me. Maybe if he came with better lyrics and added something to the beat, "Vivrant Thing would have been fine. I hope Tip will come with better material in the future.

ONE OF THE BEST HIP-HOP SONGS OF'99!.......1999-11-18

THIS IS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN Q-TIP GROW SINCE THE LATE 80'S. YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE FEW WAYS TIP CAN MAKE YOU SHAKE SOMETHING AS WELL AS HAVING YOU HIT THE REPEAT BUTTON ON YOUR SYSTEM. YES IT IS SAD THAT TRIBE AIN'T TOGETHER ANYMORE. BUT, LISTEN TO THE WAY Q-TIP KEPT HIS OWN STYLE. THIS SONG WILL KEEP YOUR HEAD BOPPIN' JUST LIKE IN THE VIDEO WHERE TIP'S HEAD IS BOPPIN'. DON'T START HATIN' JUST CAUSE HE FOUND HIS NICHE AND USED IT MAKE ENDS. THIS SONG IS THE BEGINING OF A NEW EMERGENCE FROM TIP'S BOY TO MAN GROWTH. THE SONG IS WELL PUT TOGTHER AS WELL AS HAVING THAT LITTLE EXTRA UMMPH THAT MAKES IT Q-TIPS. SO ONCE AGAIN EXCELLENT SONG.

This is the best song Q-tip has ever had.......1999-11-17

I love this song! It's about time he came out something tight! Everytime I hear the song I think of myself. I think the guys are just hating because he's rapping about a girl! That boring old school rap is over, its time for something VIVRANT!

Q-Tip: Thank You So Very Much!.......1999-11-16

Do not - I repeat, DO NOT listen to anyone who thinks this record is wack! This has to be the BEST dance, hip-hop, track since Check The Rhyme! And anyone who feels this song is terrible, I honestly believe that either he or she has no rhythm, cannot dance anyway, or has no earthly clue of what real hip-hop flavor is all about!

I've already labeled this song as my anthem for 1999! In fact, "Vivrant Thing" is an extreme classic - and provides me with so much enthusiam and optimism for Q-Tip's solo effort. I've already heard a track called, Breathe and Stop, at a famous, local NYC record store and practically everyone in the entire store started dancing.

It's time to stop all this "I got so much money, I'm living a thug life here and ni##ga grab your gats" mess! True hip hop jams make people RUN, and I do mean, RUN to the dance floor, with full of hype, energy, intensity, and flavor! Think about it, have you ever wanted to "kill" someone, simply by listening to something by A Tribe Called Quest (Q-Tip), De La Soul, and/or Digable Planets? Why not? They bring the creativity and style to hip-hop! You end up feeling good about yourself and your culture! Most importantly, you also end up realizing how much love those talented artists have about what they're doing and why they're doing it. Think about it - did you feel angry at anyone when you first heard, "Rapper's Delight" or "The Message"? No, because you were too busy trying to get to the dance floor!

At any rate, thank you so much Q-Tip for Vivrant Thing. It's all about the Love Movement! And I truly admire your style, musical artisty and expertise! Now, go purchase Amplified and when Vivrant Thing comes on...TURN IT UP and DANCE!
