BEAT RHYMES AND LIFE: A TRIBE CALLED QUEST
This is a fantastic documentary. The opening music with animation/graphics is captivating and super creative. The music and shots of real time NYC hoods (not just Manhattan ala Woody Allen) are the real thing for people not from NYC. We saw how hordes of young people spend their time listening, creating, dancing, relating all around hip hop. This is not kill the cops, bitches and ho's music. This music is creative, global, inclusive, artistic and so good to listen to. Q-Tip has gone on to make great music and really presents himself as a well informed musician. Abe, Reed and I all agree....go see this film!!!!

The preview looked so awful, so this is good to know, since I really trust you, dear film critic. A must see when I return to the states.
