Tribe Called Quest Doc

Can not wait for this. A documentary about one of my favorite bands Tribe Called Quest and how they fall apart. Apparently Q-Tip wasn't very happy about it so that might mean that it hits a little too close to home (or Michael Rappaport twisted the footage but I'd like to believe the former.)

One thing I have to ask though is: what does De La Soul think of this trailer? People are acting like Tribe invented this genre but De La were the real trailblazers, helped put Tribe on, and took a lot of shit for their Daisy Age approach from their contemporaries. I did like Tribe better but it seems like De La is being left out of the history books here. 3 Feet High and Rising was a seminal album, in terms of style, and De La Soul is Dead might have become one of the most underrated albums in hip-hop history. A reinvention while not selling out; a change of style that actually improved the quality of the band's music. If this movie does well, Rappaport should try to make a film about Pos, Huey, and Trugoy.
