Get It Together with the Beastie Boys. Q-Tip blends perfectly with the group for a very cohesive song.

Don't Curse is a great track obviously but Tip is kinda lost in an ocean of better rappers than him.

Get It Together. No question.

All of the joints listed are solid, but the Beasties track is a personal favorite.

I had to vote Drink away the Pain, just for the verse having nothing to do with the track and his spelling out the pitfalls of crime on a Mobb Deep track / their best lp. I like 'In the Sun' a lot, I think there was a story behind that track but recent interviews have glossed over any old trouble.
Kool Keith: I wore a straw hat with a feather to the last Source Awards. When I got to Madison Square Garden everybody was looking at me. When I got back home I seen everybody and their mother in their video wearing a fuckinג€™ straw hat with a feather in it.

Tim Dog: ג€œWhat Kool Keith gonna wear? Iג€™m gonna do that shit in my video. Iג€™m gonna wear that shit really quick. Whatג€™s Tim Dog gonna wear?ג€

He doesn't rhyme on the track but his appearance in the Rampage Wild for the Night video was funny. Was he wearing a boiler suit or something?

Don't Curse is the best song out of these, but, like someone said, he gets lost amongst the incredible G. Rap, Puba and BDK verses.

So, I voted for La Menage which plays to all his strengths and where he's the perfect counterpart for Dres and Launge even if his appearance is brief.

+1 @ Jaz

Ill Vibe is my joint. Can't even count the number of times I've played that. Q-Tip blew Busta away and the chorus was really well done.

I think the strength of the "Don't Curse" cameo is that Tip does not get outshined. He is perfectly placed on the song and freaks a slightly different style than his usual to great effect.

"The Promo" is close, obviously. The other appearances aren't so memorable,imo.
