Apparently Q Tip is still whining about his portrayal in the doc. *shrugs*rapaport wrote:Iגm not reaching out to him anymore about this, Spike Lee would have told A Tribe Called Quest to kiss his f-ing ass and take a f-ing walk. I appeased them, worked with them, tried to hear their point of view on things. Youגre not Jay-Z, youגre not Kanye West.

Unless I read something wrong, Rappaport is a privileged white guy who has no business making a film with a hip-hop subject ( he's white), and subjects of a documentary should always have final say over how they are portrayed and control the music selection and music:story ratio.
At least that's what that one guy seems to be saying on twitter.

Like how tip was supposed to know that he was so sick he couldn't do the routine. Then the next show when tip says what's up to Phife and they get into the altercation. Just some baby bullshit. How does Tip supposed to know how he is feeling when Phife is giving him the silent treatment. Then the whole rant afterwards that Phife had about the situation. I think he tried to paint this scenario that he was a victim, but really it was his own doing.The Afronaut wrote:What was so bad about Phife in yall opinion?

I felt like the misunderstanding about the routine was definitely blown out of proportion by Phife. However Phife's reaction the whole Tip speaking "ill" about Phife during his interviews and stuff seemed justified to me.Random Sample wrote:Like how tip was supposed to know that he was so sick he couldn't do the routine.

There really was no reason for Tip to be framing Tribes issues as "I dont have a problem with Phife, Phife has a problem with me."
Choosing the silent treatment as a way to deal with either was childish though, I'll agree there.

I saw the doc while drunk and fell asleep during the last half hour and I'll rewatch it soon again. But what I got out of what I seen was this:
1. Phife seems to be a crybaby poor me type dude. Kind of priveleged in a way. Don't get me wrong cause I do completely understand how terrible diabetes can be, I work in a nursing home and see it every day. Shits scary, b.
2. Q Tip seems to be an egomaniacal nutjob type cat. Really, he seems to be oblivious to anyone but himself. Its all about him and everyone else is just a witness to his greatness.
That said, imo, Tip has the right to be a pretentious whiny little bitch, not Phife. Not to rehash arguments, but really, NO TIP = NO QUEST. Phife could have easily been replaced and as long as Tip was running things, they still would be a legendary status type crew.
Just my quick non thought out two cents.

^Just dropped by here again to post that video too, pretty cool. I don't see the hate Rapaport gets around here. I mean, if you just don't like him thats understandable. Certain people rub others the wrong way. pause? Rapaport's teh gawd, imo.
Can't believe everything you read on twitter, tell that dude he's an idiot. He should be happy that anybody at all is finally giving crews like Tribe their well deserved documentary.myself wrote:Unless I read something wrong, Rappaport is a privileged white guy who has no business making a film with a hip-hop subject ( he's white),

This did very well imo at the box office. I don't know how much it cost but hopefully it brings more fans to peep ATCQ back catalouge.

Saw this last night in NYC and thought it was fantastic. Made me want to play the first three tribe albums on loop, and definitely brought back plenty of nostalgic feelings of when I first heard them all...
Totally don't understand Q-Tip's problem with how he came across. I thought he came across fine, albeit slightly cocky and self-centered, but nowhere near as much of a dick as I assumed he would do given all the fuss and his rep. Phife definitely came across worse, and Ali just seemed like a nice guy.
Regardless of what you think of Rappaport, he did a fucking great job with this movie.
