    That's a real shame that Phife was the only member from ATCQ to attend.

    Phife's Mum had it right. Why didn't they just stop acting like cocktards, let bygones be bygones and just enjoy the legacy they spent over a decade creating for a hot second.

    Maybe they all remembered how bad the movie Zebrahead was at different times.

    Maybe he didn't show because he knew Phife would cry in public.

    I don't even wanna think about how cheap it would be to have phife rapping without ali.

    Q Tip Says:
    The director of the film cannot speak to what is in my head abt the documentary, nor can this director EVER say the I dont speak for the group. When I say I do then belive me, I do.
    Tribe is no different than any other collective. We experience bumps bruises and disagreements then and we still do, but knowing our history and our messages in our music we will NEVER be taken advantage of like we were in the past.
    We dont care who it is, but we are truly thankful for your interest in our music and your interest in this flattering look at our career.
    B/w

    were these guys denied some massive opportunity at greatness at some point? srs question. so much 4080 talk from Tip over the years but I've never had anyone explain to me how/when these guys were done so dirty (beyond the standard we-feel-we-should-have-gotten-more-money/respect-considering-the-great-music-we-made or artists-always-get-screwed-by-management type thing).

    Somewhere, I don't remember where, but tip says they made a Grand total of 17,000 or something off of low end theory. Everything had to be recouped. The label didn't pay for anything and they didn't know what they were getting into with their contract.

    Bizarre, considering that's the album with "Show Business" on it and all the 4080 talk mentioned above. How did he ever afford a brand new truck, butter-soft seats?
