If you haven't heard yet, Michael Rapaport (aka Remi from a Higher Learning) has been working with the members of A Tribe Called Quest (ATCQ) on a documentary of one of the greatest, if not the greatest groups of all time in Hip Hop . The documentary is titled Beats, Rhymes, & Fights. Now if you are a Tribe fan, you've been awaiting a story like this to be told for years with excitement as well as with a little bit of anxiety due to the fact of the known friction between the group members, specifically between Phife and Qtip. The film is now making its way through the film festival circuit, but it wouldn't be Hip Hop if there wasn't some controversy surrounding the film, hence my anxiety. So I decided to share with you all a the Trailer for the film as well as an interview with Qtip, Ali, and Jarobi on the phone (yes he's still part of the group). Unfortunately Phife wasn't present (sigh & sad face). I sigh with the sad face because this is my favorite Hip Hop group and I've unfrotunately never seen them live as a group, due to our schedules not in synch when they were on tour (Sigh & sad face again). I've seen phife by himself and Qtip by himself but not together as a group. Hopefully there is a reconciliation between the group members some time in the near future. Hey Phonte and 9th did it.
