What makes this documentary so engaging is that it’s not really about A Tribe Called Quest, one of the most innovative hiphop crews in history, but about how a very close friendship—between Tribe’s Q-Tip and Phife Dawg—became toxic. Q-Tip believes he has always put the group first and himself second; Phife Dawg believes Q-Tip is all about himself. Phife Dawg is right; Q-Tip is wrong, but because Q-Tip is a genius, he ends up on the winning side of the long, bitter, and, ultimately, beautiful struggle. (See Movie Times)
