DX: When you say us, whom are you referring to?
QT: Um, all of us.

DX: Humanity?
QT: Yeah.

DX: What do you want to be remembered as? A lot of young people might look at you as an actor (She Hates Me, Brown Sugar, etc.) and your film background is crazy. When it’s all said and done what do you want Q-Tip to be remembered as?
QT: I don’t know. Um, Q-Tip…that name- we have to put that name to bed.

DX: [Laughs] Okay.
QT: [Laughs.] What do I want to be remembered as? I have to be honest, you remember on Wu-Tang’s first album and they asked them, “What do you guys wanna do?” and they responded, “Domination, baby, take over this whole shit.” [Laughs] I want to be remembered as an artist that did great things and through my talents be able to inspire people, influence people and encourage people in a positive way. I want to do music that’s timeless. I want to do film that’s timeless. I’m probably no different then anybody else. I have the same aspirations-I want the house and the car and all that. It’s more to it than that for me. I want to do the stuff that really makes a difference. I was listening to War on my way over here.

DX: Bob Marley's song?
QT: No, War the group War, or even if we speak about Bob Marley…it’s the same thing. When you hear it, it still inspires you. You can hear one lyric that motives you and inspires you. Those are the things that I’m interested in and I’m spoiled. I’ve been able to do that with Tribe - music that’s going to be here when I’m gone. Being that I flirted with it, I want to see her again.
