The Beats, Rhymes & Life film exemplifies that idea, among other things, Read the rest of this entry »

Love. What a beautifully dangerous word. Some kid from Queens, NY once said, and I’m paraphrasing, that love changes, and best friends become strangers. Ironically, he said that a couple years before even a hint of bad blood surrounding one of Hip-Hop’s most beloved groups, fellow Queens natives A Tribe Called Quest, became public knowledge.
