Blige,De La Soul,Mos Def,A Tribe Called Quest,Beastie BoysA documentary film directed by Michael Rapaport about one of the most influential and groundbreaking musical groups in hip-hop history. Having released five gold and platinum selling albums within eight years, A Tribe Called Quest has been one of the most commercially successful and artistically significant musical groups in recent history, and regarded as iconic pioneers of hip hop. The band's sudden break-up in 1998 shocked the industry and saddened the scores of fans, whose appetite for the group's innovative musical stylings never seems to diminish. A hard-core fan himself, Rapaport sets out on tour with A Tribe Called Quest in 2008, when they reunited to perform sold-out concerts across the country, almost ten years after the release of their last album, The Love Movement. -- (C) Sony Classics

New Review For Movie Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest
This authorized documentary is more of a celebration of the legendary Queens quartet than a serious exploration of their art. But considering how brilliant they were at their peak, it's hard to disagree with the general sentiment.
Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader Rapaport gets at the dynamics of a group that struggles even now to get along well enough to get paid - again.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel A combination of timing, access, a visual aesthetic that reflects ATCQ's Afrocentric "surface philosophy" (as the crew's look is described) and, most importantly, story-conscious editing elevates the doc above the norm.
Jennie Punter-Globe and Mail Thanks to a particularly even-handed job by director Michael Rapaport, the story emerges as compelling, even for non-fans in the audience.
Randy Cordova-Arizona Republic The movie gets the beats and rhymes down pat, but the life part is a little messy. Oh well, two out of three ain't bad.
Adam Graham-Detroit News There are scenes toward the end of the movie that hint at a fuzzier tomorrow for Tribe, but you leave appreciating the music as it was, not hoping for anything else.
Andrew Matson-Seattle Times Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest is a marvelous and unapologetic look at the rise and fall of arguably one of the most influential hip hop groups of our time.
Chase Whale-Gordon and the Whale Rappaport covers a huge spectrum of voices and opinions, and the themes he explores get into personal relationships -- something everyone can relate to.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com Rapaport, clearly a fan, is able to capture both the ongoing love and the tension within the band.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Warning: The bassline Ron Carter contrived for the classic cut 'Buggin' Out' is about as easy to dislodge from your brain as a 'Night Gallery' earwig.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Maybe I'm just a sucker for good old fashioned hip-hop, but I found Michael Rapaport's totally-by-the-numbers music doco [Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest] absolutely compelling.
Simon Miraudo-Quickflix This documentary therefore did exactly what a good music doco should do: brought people like me up to speed and, according to reports from more serious hip hop fans in the audience, provided lots of information that wasn't previously well known.
Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy An adoring, though enlightening, look at the tumultuous run of the influential hip-hop group.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune That mood of musical unity, of a sonic movement, is incredible, vibrantly recounted in Beats. It's more than just a documentary, it's a time capsule of hip hop originality and confidence.
Brian Orndorf-BrianOrndorf.com The movie's value is in informing and illuminating, not provoking.
Josh Bell-Las Vegas Weekly It's difficult to get a grasp on just what audience this documentary is made for.
Justin Strout-Orlando Weekly Despite accusations of nearly succumbing to spotlighting beefs over beats, the film comes off as an honest representation of a great group that's not to be forgotten.
Kevin C. Johnson-St. Louis Post-Dispatch Even if you think you don't like hip-hop you may find yourself captivated by the musicality of A Tribe Called Quest, and that alone is reason to watch this documentary...
Sarah Boslaugh-Playback:stl Respectful but not idolatrous, this is one 'Behind the Music' piece that even those who have never heard of the group can appreciate.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion If you want to know what hip-hop is all about, this 'rapumentary' is a fine place to start.
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review It tells a real story that is both complex and coherent, putting ATCQ's impact on the level of what Dylan and The Beatles provided in their respective moments in musical history. And the argument is well made.
Tim Basham-Paste Magazine Good vibes propel what is a fairly straightforward account of the band's formation, album output, and acrimonious breakup.
