True, but then all I had back then was the radio, so some of the classics you probably remember, I may not… it's funny 'cos as a lil kid I liked TLC and ? (when I was like 9 or somethin'), same with 2pac, Coolio and a bunch of others. Not forgetting Kenan and Kel lol.
All of that too, bro!! My cousin was a bigger fan of TLC than I was!! And I loved TLC!!
Thats what I'm saying, Phife definitely got a good one!!No doubt, I couldn't believe it and it was great to see that he was so dumbfounded by what she did, like he didn't take it for granted to have a woman like that in his life. Definitely dope… I also liked that she was a level headed woman telling him straight about his relationship with Tip and that he was hard-headed and that she felt sorry for the other two members. She even stated herself as a fan of Tribe herself, which is definitely cool.No doubt, but at the same time, the reason for their success was Q-Tip's perfectionism and I can understand how, if Q was watching him hitting all the sugary drinks and not seeing too much of an affect in the beginning that he would think all was cool… especially considering how diabetes is one of those illnesses that people kinda play down when it can actually be as serious as he had it…
Besides that, definitely agree with the Low End Theory and Phife coming more and more into it as was discussed in the documentary, it's definitely how you stated in that it was a group thing and that's why I've always coincided with Tip before seeing the documentary because Tip always put Tribe down even though it was his production. Amazing how he did the drums and ? for 'Can I Kick It', which going back to earlier, is a track I loved on the radio as a kid.
Q-Tip even said that and really you...can't really blame anyone of that but Phife, even tho I think it was passed on to him. But exactly you have to stay on top of it!
And that Buggin video definitely was a classic, I loved that song and video especially with the eyes, haha!! Sometimes with being a perfectionist, it could really be exhausting...in fact thats one of the reasons why the rap game is so bogus right now, because people want to get in the game but aren't willing to put their heart and soul into projects. Tribe was definitely a favorite as a kid, I can say now and believe that (further more than Rawkus records) the Native Tongues Movement drove me to follow conscious rap even as young as 9 years old!!LOL @ bolded, the same for me too haha. All my friends stayed at home instead of studying, but we've stayed cool through time and still pretty close now, although my friends from Uni are definitely closer friends.
And I mean we're all still close, we could hang at any time, but it's just we are growing up as my mom would say!haha I've played this Lucy Pearl track loads:
Such a great beat, I need to get their album again.
I knew you'd post that, That Track was too BADASS!! Still to this day!! ? , this track was amazing!! -
Rapaport was just on Tavis Smiley's show on PBS and stated that they smoothed some things over, but Tip was still angry about other parts of the film.

Man Q-Tip was called out right there by Phife...then towards the end they showed the fight between him and Phife! And probably he felt like he was the enemy throughout the movie, to be honest it did reflect how he was to them but i think it was more in the sense of keeping their music crisp!! And then I think as soon as Q got into movies and all, he did start to steer away from the group and go for solo. That letter they talked about in the MTV interview is still weird tho, why would they try to prevent the group from getting credit if the movie was about them?? -
peep the interview again,exactly what I said is exactly what they were talking about

LOL I loved the eyes too, funny video… both Midnight Marauders and Low End Theory are in my top 50 albums of all time (I'm sure they would be, if I made one, maybe one for the summer lol).
Agreed on the heart and soul into projects though and it might not even be their fault, labels dictate so much, sometimes it's hard to release your heart and soul when they want something that's fake from the start.
I'll peep those links later, props :tu -

Oh My Gawd, RuffDraft...so freaking true!!
You can see it on Chris Lighty's face..you can see how some of those A&Rs were like or were becoming like just by watching the movie..Chris and Mr. Weiss! They are prime examples of how the labels began to dictate alot of the artist's work. Thats why the industry only gotten from bad to worse over the years!! Yea check out the interviews again, it definitely fills more of the spaces of what happen...ignore the Consequence interview tho, I like his music but that was just him looking like a fool to be honest with you! -
Uh what day is it today it 7/29/11 yet? That is when it plays in Dallas

Will that be a solo project from Ali? It's a shame there's no more Lucy Pearl…
I've got it, but I haven't got the CD yet… did really like it, more so when I went back to it after rip.dilla's thread… -
