"Gettin Up" is a vibrant song and video that could save hip-hop, if it wasn't already so far gone. Tribe Called Quest frontman Q-Tip makes a
passionate appeal to his woman over an engaging piano loop as he walks
through a sparse set, smoothly assuming different identities and
outfits. Ben Dickinson's direction is as smooth and seamless as the track, allowing
multiple Q-Tips interact and overlap in a natural manner. After a few
stalled projects, some people may have counted this veteran
rapper out. This clip proves that Q-Tip still knows how to get into our ears. [review by Craig Belcher] --> watch "Gettin' Up"
