Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest

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.

Just Me
I love this rap group and miss them dearly.  The Tribe is one of the most unique groups out there who used to lace my ears with positive, melodic, hip hop anthems such as Bonita Applebum, I Left My Wallet in El Segundo, Electric Relaxation, and my all time favorite Check the Rhime.  Since the movie is directed by actor Michael Rappaport, who I swear is actually Black and a true hip hop head, I know who will stay true to the real story behind these mega artists.

What's Beef?

The movie Beef was a documentary released in 2003 with rare footage and interviews with well-known hip hop superstars and music industry insiders.  Narrated by Ving Rhanes, Beef provided the details of various untold stories that hadn't been seen in mainstream media.  Some of the artists seen on this film were 50 Cent, Ice Cube, Damon Dash, and Bone Thugs n Harmony. 

The movie was later spun off into an original documentary television series on FuseTV with shows Beef: The MC Battle, Beef: Respect, and Beef: Verbal Warfare.  And now FuseTV has a new season premiering in February titled Beef: Behind the Bullet. 

Synopsis:  From the MC Battles to the battles that often rage behind the scenes in the music business, Beef has brought you from the streets to the boardroom and back as the definitive guide on hip hop culture. This all-new special features the most memorable moments from the show plus never-before-seen footage and the new beefs that define modern hip hop.
