Elton John has been a staple in music industry for decades, and now he’s paying his respects to some hip hop greats. In a recent interview with Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, the singer praises the New York producer/rapper, calling him a “legend in music” while expressing his fandom for the group’s “laid back, funky” style. “If you don’t know A Tribe Called Quest, you’re stupid,” John said. “But if you listen to [‘Electric Relaxation’], you’ll understand why I rave about them.”
Q-Tip went on to mention how excited and overwhelmed he was by John’s praises toward him and the group.
