(Rolling Stone) — With all the interpersonal drama surrounding the documentary Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest, it seemed doubtful that any one of the contending Tribe members would bother to show for the film’s premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi sat out Sundance in January – only to air their grievances a month later on MTV. So there was general surprise when Ali appeared at the premiere last night. Even his onetime partner, Phife Dawg, was startled. ”I really didn’t know that he was coming,” said Phife. “That makes me really happy.”
