Beats, Rhymes, & Life: Travels of A Tribe Called Quest

According to Above Ground Magazine, A Tribe Called Quest documentary entitled Beats, Rhymes, & Life: Travels of A Tribe Called Quest, is getting released to the public sometime in July 2011. After a great showing at Sundance, I'm really excited to see what this movie has in store. Tribe has always been one of my favorite hip hop groups, so you know I'm buggin' out about right now. Luckily, one of the places it's getting its release is Cinema 21 in Portland. I know where I'll be the day this comes out.

The one thing I'm a little unsure about is how much of the video is approved by ATCQ. Controversy over the video began after Q-Tip tweeted that Tribe didn't approve of a few portions of the film, and called on director Michael Rappaport to respect the groups wishes. That's definitely not going to stop me from watching it, but I will remember to take it with a grain of salt.

Here's the Official Site for the film, and you can find a full list of cities and theaters the documentary is being released in the ORIGINAL ARTICLE.
