Film synopsis:

As Beats, Rhymes & Life begins, the rappers who anchored pioneering group A Tribe Called Quest are already going their separate ways. As youths in the mid-’80s, the Queens-born foursome of
Tribe—Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi White—found success
with their exhuberant exploration and combination of hip hop, pop and jazz. But
in recent years, Q-Tip, the band’s visionary and reluctant pop star, has tired
of the street-bred capriciousness of his lyrical partner Phife, who is equally
frustrated with Q-Tip. How these two friends and musical partners got to this
state forms the guts of actor-turned-filmmaker Michael Rapaport’s candid and
combustible documentary.
