On a Quest With A Tribe Called Quest
I figure today is as good a day as any to let you know where my head, heart, and hard work will be for the rest of the year: cutting the documentary on one of my favorite musical groups of all time, A Tribe Called Quest. Following the hip hop history of New Yorkers Q-Tip, Phife Dawg and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, the film is directed by the multi-talented Michael Rapaport, produced by State Street and Rival Pictures, and edited by yours truly. As we’re just starting to scratch the surface of the hundreds upon hundreds of hours of footage over at E.M.P./Project Lab’s plush post production facility, I know these next few months will be challenging as all hell. But I can’t help but be jazzed to be a part of this project knowing that we’ll end up with an emotional and entertaining film about one of hip hop’s most influential groups. With dream project #2 a go and before the battle truly begins, it’s time for some “Electric Relaxation”.
