Q-Tip Is Not Happy With Michael Rapaport's Documentary About A Tribe Called Quest
Wow. Judging from the trailer, Beats, Rhymes and Fights: A History of A Tribe Called Quest, which will premiere next month at the Sundance Film Festival, will be thrilling and fascinating and celebratory and very emotional. And, needless to say, it will include some of the very greatest hip-hop music ever recorded. Unfortunately, one of the principals, Q-Tip, is not at all happy with it. “I am not in support of the a tribe called quest documentary,” he said on his Twitter account yesterday, referencing the fact that director Michael Rapaport did not honor requests the band made about the film. (I’m guessing those requests were regarding the fights part.)
