Throwback Thursdays: A Tribe Called Quest

DateThursday, July 7, 2011 at 8:51AM

I recently started following actor/director Michael Rappaport on Twitter.  As some of you know, he has just launched a documentary called Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest.  A doc he shot about the bands origin, break up and eventual reunion.  Can't wait to see it.  On Twitter, he asked "when did you first hear ATCQ?".  For me, it was 1991.  The Low End Theory had just come out and I heard the cut "Check the Rhime".  I immediately went out and bought the album.  Been a fan since, in fact - just bought a Low End Theory t-shirt last week.  Can't wait for the film.
