DOCUMENTARY: A Tribe Called Quest in ATL - EXTENDED UNTIL AUGUST 4th!


Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest 


I will be there FRONT AND CENTER!
Well...more "center and center" in the movie theater.

This documentary is LONG overdue.
 True hip hop heads still have the Tribe's CDs in heavy rotation.
(OK...Maybe it's just me.) Each release was outstanding from the first song to the last. Buying one song in the 80s was just not possible or too expensive, so with Tribe, fans were happy when guaranteed a quality product and skipping songs was never desired. 

BIG UPS to TRIBE! 
Can't wait to see the film!

Metro Atlanta Dates:
07/22 thru 08/04– Atlanta, GA @ Midtown Arts Cinema 
07/22 - 08/04 Atlanta, GA @ AMC Phipps Plaza 14
08/12 - Kennesaw, GA @ AMC Barrett Commons 24

Remembering Michael Jackson

BILLIE JEAN

This video "MADE" MTV! I remember watching it in awe. He, no doubt, set the standard.
This is NO OTHER performer who is as innately and profoundly excellent as 
Michael Jackson.

I'm a fan for life.

This is for you, MJ.
RIP
