Having forged a 20-year run as one of the most innovative and influential hip hop bands of all time, the Queens NY collective known as 'A Tribe Called Quest' have kept a generation hungry for more of their groundbreaking music since their much publicized breakup in 1998. Michael Rapaport documents the inner workings and behind the scenes drama that follows the band to this day. He explores what's next for, what many claim, are the pioneers of alternative rap.

So many Beatles Parallels
Paul McCartney = Q-Tip John Lennon = Phife George Harrison = Ali Ringo = Jarobi
Sgt Peppers = Low End Theory White Album = The Love Movement
Eric Clapton = Busta Rhymes Rolling Stones = De La Soul
I could keep going...

wish they discussed the making of the music more than the relationships (not that it wasn’t important). nevertheless, i will bow down to the greats and play bonita applebum on loop till i die🫡
