#MusicMonday A Tribe Called Quest Forever!!!!! A Look Back at ATCQ

I finally was able to check out the Tribe Called Quest documentary, Beats, Rhymes and Life, this weekend,directed by: Michael Rapaport! I must say, it's a MUST HAVE!! and a Dope Watch for any Hip-Hoppa for their Hip-Hop DVD collection. I was slow on seeing this DOPE film, even tho I heard mixed feelings and emotionally reviews on the film, from TRIBE themsleves. I feel Rapaport deserves credit for making a movie that's neither exploitative nor puffy, and in which we find ourselves rooting for these two friends to get over themselves and work things out—not because we'd like to fantasize that some return-to-greatness comeback album is possible (that'd be nice, but unlikely), but because their relationship is rendered so affectingly, even at its pettiest. Beats, Rhymes & Life ends on a hopeful high note, although there's little to guarantee that it's anything but temporary. But A Tribe Called Quest's body of work is permanent, and as the credits roll, so does a video clipfor "Buggin' Out," in which Phife, Q-Tip, and Muhammad horse around, circa 1991, wearing fluorescent sweatshirts and plastic novelty eyeballs. It's a transmission from a bright, prelapsarian moment, and the music sounds as exhilarating today as it did back then. Tribe Called Quest Changed My Life!
