I’m so psyched for Beats, Rhymes, and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest. The documentary will see a limited release on July 8, 2011 and I plan on catching it as soon as I can (I’ll be in Hawaii and I’m not sure where it’ll be playing or how I can get there.). I love A Tribe Called Quest. I love that era of hip-hop. Groups like Tribe and Diggable Planets made for a cool and stylish hip-hop period. It wasn’t about pimps, gangs, coastal warfare, etc. It was all about slick beats, sweet samples, and smooth lyrics. I’m looking forward to reliving those times and seeing today’s hip-hop stars pay tribute to A Tribe Called Quest (represent, represent!).
Check out the trailer when you have a chance and let me know what you think (please)!
Yea this is the hip hop I grew up on, back when my parents were DJs for all house parties in Boston.
Wow he totally did I forgot about his solo ventures.
you dont remember vibrant thang?
god, it makes me throw up just a little bit everytime i think about that song
Oh yea I remember that now, thanks to you! Even that music video sucked lol.
Vibrant Thang was hot. But I LOVED the Tribe's songs. "Can I Kick It?" "Bonita Applebum", "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo", and the great "Scenario". I'm a hip hop head. I even run a Chicago Hip Hop blog. If you are ever interested in the hip hop scene in Chicago, you can checkout http://www.chicagouncut.com
I finally got around to see this and it left me feeling inspired, do that do that do do that that that.
Really want the Blu-ray, but will wait until it drops below $20. Heard the special features are pretty good.
