Acclaimed actor Michael Rapaport goes behind the camera to document the inner workings and behind-the-scenes drama of one of the most innovative and influential hip-hop bands of all time, A Tribe Called Quest. For twenty years the group produced jazz-infused music that drew new audiences to hip-hop. In spite of unparalleled success, the group fractured in 1998 under dramatic constraints and tumultuous pitfalls. Rapaport offers unprecedented insight into this seminal band in his remarkably honest and emotional portrait. — SS
