Actually it's nothing like that at all.

Maybe Q-Tip can become the Twitter sober companion of every second-rate rapper named after a flower, because he's really good at it.
He had to put this through 140 characters at a time. Spelling and grammar are not the most important thing when trying to do this.
Q-Tip is in his 40s. This is clearly about public communication, not youth.
Are you genuinely perplexed that there are multiple ways to effectively express ideas or are you just annoyed that Q-Tip chose a particular way that you're not as comfortable with? I mean, the latter is perfectly legitimate, but let's not pretend there's any reason to be sanctimonious about our personal tastes.
Considering many "wall o' texts" are immediately, and decidedly, met with tl;dr dismissals these days (particularly by the people who would benefit from the read), I'd say breaking his essay down to easily readable and digestible 140 character chunks was the better move.
In 2012 a law was passed in Congress that if you are under 25 you are only allowed to communicate through Twitter, Instagram or The Facebooks. An Amendment to include MySpace was struck down by Senator Whatevs.
Obviously I don't get it. Please tell me why anyone would tweet that instead of linking to an essay?
What Q-Tip said: *wise words*
You guys. You guys! You. Guys. YOU GUYS!!!!! How good is A Tribe Called Quest? Soooooo fucking good!!!!! That is all.
Why the hell would someone publish that as a series of 40 tweets when a link to a coherent essay of the same content would be so much better.
I mean ... Seriously. A side eye that swings into a full-on roll.
Honestly, to me this isn't even about Iggy. I'm hoping that now a black man has taken a stand against her bullshit, other men in the industry will say something too. Because they didn't listen to Banks, or Solange or Remy or any of the women who've been calling her out for AGES now.
This Q-Tip lesson is like a pharmacist trying to school a cartel kingpin. The pharmacist is about that cure, but the kingpin is about that money. He gives zero fucks about the fallout of his actions.
Even if she doesn't get the message, I hope some clueless hip-hop fan out there does.
Side eye. I give it to you.
