Amplified (Q-Tip album)
''Amplified'' is the debut solo album of American hip hop artist Q-Tip, released November 30, 1999, on Arista Records. The album was recorded following the dissolution of Q-Tip's former group, A Tribe Called Quest. Production was primarily handled by Q-Tip and J Dilla, who had previously produced for A Tribe Called Quest. Q-Tip's lyrics throughout the album feature boasts, playful seduction raps, and abstract lyricism.
The album debuted at number 28 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 chart, selling 89,000 copies in its first week.〔Basham, David.

==Background==
Recorded after the dissolution of Q-Tip's former group, A Tribe Called Quest,〔Harrington, Richard. "(A Tribe and True Approach; Q-Tip Shed His Quest but Held On to Its Upbeat Jazz-Rap Sound )". ''The Washington Post'': G.14. December 5, 1999.〕 the album was produced primarily by Q-Tip and Jay Dee, who had previously collaborated for production on A Tribe Called Quest's two last albums. The majority of the beats were initiated by Jay Dee with Q-Tip adding some final touches to it; “When we would work together, he would have it, like, 75 percent there and I would add a kick or bass line".〔Del F. Cowie ("Verses From The Abstract" ). Exclaim. Retrieved on 2010-03-22.〕
Colin Ross of PopMatters writes of the album's music, "''Amplified''s content is very much a vibe-orientated affair. Infectious hooks, Jay Dee's trademark keys, and some seriously funky beats all work to create a captivating soundscape upon which Q-Tip drops his traditionally abstract rhymes".〔Ross, Colin. ("Q-Tip: Amplified" ). PopMatters. Retrieved on 2009-09-28.〕 Jon Pareles of ''The New York Times'' notes Q-Tip's lyrics as typified by boasts and playful seduction raps.〔Pareles, Jon (December 17, 1999).
