Beats, Rhymes & Life

Beats Ryhmes  Life Poster Michael Rapaport was always good in my book, basically riding long on his appearance in True Romance (God that movie had a stacked cast), as Floyd’s roommate.

But he just got +10, as I found out Rapaport’s directed a documentary on the hip-hop pioneers A Tribe Called Quest. Entitled Beats, Rhymes, & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest, it apparently did well at Sundance and the Tribeca Film Festival.

For those of us who grew up on 80’s to 90’s hip-hop, Tribe’s oeuvre is seminal at the same level as Public Enemy and KRS-One. Hope the documentary lives up to their contributions.

Looks like the film gets a limited release starting in July. This might be the only movie I see in the theater all year.

Via Unclouded by Ambition. Bonus points if you know who played Floyd without hitting IMDb.
