AUDIO: Phife Dawg – Thought U Wuz Nice (prod by J Dilla)
Very dope gem, found by the brothers at BamaLoveSoul. J Dilla & Phife...win win chemistry.
Aw naw! As I was compiling gems for my A Tribe Called Quest tribute set tonight, I uncovered this 1999 Phife Dawg release. This jazzy Jay Dee produced gem appeared on a German release and was the B Side to Bend Ova, also produced by Jay Dee. Somehow, for whatever reason, this track didn't make it onto his album and now it's hard to find. Enjoy! - BamaLovesSoul

REVIEW: Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest
Beats, Rhymes and Life was pretty much about the beginning and end of ATCQ through their travels and their drama. Among many other things that inspired them and how each individual discovered hiphop, they all met during their high school years. One thing I noticed about the film is that although it was talking about the diminishing friendships between Q-tip and Phife, the movie pretty much centers itself around Q-tip in one aspect or another.
EVENT (Documentary): Beats, Rhymes, & Life tonight In Texas, Oregon, Wisconsin, & Washington!
Tonight, the ATCQ fans in Seattle, Houston, Austin, Portland, Milwaukee, and Dallas will have the opportunity to catch up with the rest of America to see this well-put-together documentary! Hopefully you guys will enjoy it!

NEWS/VIDEO: A Tribe Called Quest Explains Documentary Beef
A little while back it was reported that the ATCQ camp had a problem with the Michael Rapaport directed documentary about the group. Interviewed by MTV's Sway, Q-Tip reads an email and lays out exactly why all but Phife Dawg were opposed to the doc. Apparently, despite the controversy surrounding their lack of support, both Q and Abstract say they don’t want fans to boycott the film and encourage them to see it.
