Q-Tip Fires Back At Michael Rapaport

So the saga continues. After Michael Rapaport spoke on the rift last week, Tip retreated to his Twitter account again and respond to the director’s claims regarding the ATCQ documentary.

“Speaking of 1nce again… here i some tribe chat. 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. if @alishaheed @jarobione or @diggymusberger says they speak for the group then THEY do. no one else! peace….”

  6. carl weston says:

    Yo Michael Rapaport! I cannot believe this promo photo, you got a Panasonic AG-HVX200 sitting on that bullshit ass tripod, you know that tripod ain’t gonna hold that camera steady dude…LOL

  7. nah says:

    Rappaport is from Long island thats why he’s hyped up .This would ‘ve been great!

  8. D says:

    Tip needs to chill out. It’s a fuckin documentary.

  9. Damn Homie says:

    fuck this.. tired of the story at this point. No one made the ATCQ niggas sit down and talk about all there business but once they made that choice to do so.. its fair game.

    Thats like sitting down for a taped interview and then tryin to tell the network they can’t air it.

    If you wanted control of the shit TIP you should of made your own DOC.

    Besides.. its just cool to say you feel tribe like that.. no one actually does.. ha.. don’t know why Q is worried anyways.. ain’t nobody watching that shit anyways..

    its a dirty game.. wash yo hands nigga.

  10. Butters B says:

    WHAT DOES PHIFE DAWG HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS??? Q-TIP IS PARANOID. HELL HAVE SOMETHING TO BE REAL PARANOID ABOUT WHEN RAPAPORT DROPS THE DIRECTORS CUT. Q-TIP IS A DELUSIONAL BITCH

  11. ATCQfan says:

    no’s one watching it?
    right that’s why it premieres at Sundance tomorrow

  12. Justmyopinion says:

    I achieve boredom because of rappers with their egos.

    How do people find the time to tweet personal business? Shyt call that man up & talk it out don’t vent to us. We ain’t signing checks for you. Matter of fact, why don’t you tweet Michael Rappaport?

  13. hmmm says:

    artists be b!tch…point blank…stfu and accept the praise…lucky someone still has interest in yo weak as$

  14. wickwickwack says:

    why let him in your circle if u dont want him to do it …does sound like he´s bitching
    i would do the same as that white boy if i would have spent this much time on a project

  15. Damn Homie says:

    Tribe fan.. get real nigga.. Sundance don’t mean shit.. as a matter of fact.. a lot of film makers/films go to sundance to try and gain support so they can get financial backing and promotion to get roled out wide spread and not just a spot here and there.

    They can get accepted just due to the people involved.. that don’t mean commercial appeal or even financial success.. OR to say that the sundance audience will even feel it.

    My point is.. although people “respect” ATCQ.. they don’t care about them like that.. that would be like releasing and Eric B or Big Daddy Kane DOC.. MOST people ain’t gonna care.. die hard fans will.. but the mainstream don’t give a shit.

    You have to pick a compelling figure or either tell a very compelling story to bring in those who are not the usual demographic of the subject of the doc.

    I don’t think this is gonna do it.

  16. Damn Homie says:

    straight to video my nigga. lol

  17. ATCQfan says:

    no bad movies allowed in Sundance
    they have a tight selection process
    big look for the doc

  18. ATCQfan says:

    right Damn Homie
    you sound like a hater
    im sure people were saying the same thing about “Exit Through The Gift Shop” also
    if you even know what that is

  19. Converse says:

    *yawn* Fukk that white bitch ?cosign? @macdisel

  20. Gucci Mane's Ice Cream Tat has 3 Scoops says:

    Q-Tip Vs. Rappaport is the best 2011 BEEF so far!

  21. Belize says:

    Dope! An actual beef! 😀

  22. Damn Homie says:

    Tribe fan… you proved by point.. you named an unknown NONcommercial success flick as your example of sundance success..

    just remember.. its the entertainment BUSINESS..

    you sound like one of those niggas that would wear a t-shirt saying “i’m into bands that don’t even exist yet”.. lol

    one of those.. underground unknown name droppers to sound more sophisticated then the rest of the pop..

    men lie. women lie. numbers don’t. in the end.. its all about the money.

    All “respect” gets you in the game is a one bedroom apartment on the southside if you ain’t got the money to back it up.

    its a lot of broke niggas with tons of respect… try takin that on down to pay the light bill playa.. see what they tell ya.

  23. Fuck Damn Homie says:

    Damn Homie, you sound like a Republican or a Shitty Scent fan… You’re both probably. You don’t care about the quality of music, all you care about is who makes the biggest profit out of it.

    A Tribe Called Quest was all about the QUALITY of music, that’s why they made three classic albums. How many other rap groups/artists do you know with THREE CLASSIC albums? Think about it, there’s not too many of ’em.

    In the process of making quality music they sold a couple million records, proving that respect gets you more than a one bedroom apartment on the southside, ha!

    In conclusion: A Tribe Called Quest earned BOTH respect AND money, while rappers who only cared about making money, like Shitty Scent, earned money but lost all their respect while making horrible garbage like ‘Candy Shop’, ‘Amusement Park’ or ‘Ayo Technology’. Until their career takes a downturn, like Shitty Scent’s career right now, and they’re left for dead, because they have sold out their artistic integrity making garbage like ‘Candy Shop’ for the pop radio stations. Real artists and groups will ALWAYS have a hardcore fan base as long as they stay true to their hiphop roots and don’t sell out. A Tribe Called Quest is a proof of that.

  24. ATCQfan says:

    Rapaport and no one affiliated with the project was ever saying they were hoping for nationwide release
    name the last documentary to actually get nationwide release?
    limited release doesn’t mean it is a failure

  25. Gusto says:

    I still think this is all done to hype the doco’s release…. I guess it needed more buzz.

    G

  26. This is Q-Tip’s life where talking about. If he doesn’t want a documentary made then there shouldn’t be one made.
