In this fascinating documentary about one of the most innovative and influential hip-hop groups of all time—the Queens, New York, collective A Tribe Called Quest—director Michael Rapaport takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes journey: chronicling the group’s rise to fame; revealing the stories behind the tensions that erupted in the years to come; and exploring what made these musical pioneers tick. In the wake of the premature loss of founding member Phife Dawg in 2016, this already sensitive and thoughtful film assumes an even greater poignancy.
