thee tcq

A Tribe Called Quest live @ Knitting Factory 1/20/10 from LTD Magazine on Vimeo.

wut!?!! one of the best concerts i seen was them, they so hype all the time <3 mad energy.

thee songs that should be made into movies

gravediggaz - diary of a madman
The film could be centered around the courtroom with all 4 defendants flashing back to their horrific crimes in vivid detail. Drop that shit around Halloween, call it "Diary Of The Madmen" and sit back and watch the money roll in. "Blair Witch" made millions...you tellin' me this shit wouldn't work?

tribe called quest - i left my wallet in el segundo
This would make for a great comedy. 3 friends set out on a hunt for the wallet they left in El Segundo. The song provides the basis for the drive there and Hollywood could fill in the mayhem that would ensue going back to retrieve the wallet. Hell Q-Tip could star in this one since he's the one who has his feet wet in the acting world. Who would play Phife and Ali? You could even cut to scenes of Q-Tip's mom on her month-long trip. Comedic gold.

jayz - lost one
The three verses tell three unique stories that have affected the life of one person.

mos def - ms fat booty
We've all met "that girl", got it poppin' and then "she gone like it was magic." The story of "Ms. Fat Booty" could be turned into one of those cool, smoky, jazzy, lovers type films.

pharhoa monch - when the gun draw
Pharoahe's song could be the basis for a low budget flick told from the perspective of the bullet. As with the song itself, the film could show the bullet in different moments in history completing its work along with its everyday havoc caused in countless cities around the world. Think about seeing the death of Martin Luther King Jr. through the eyes of the bullet? Or JFK's death?


ti - i told u so
"Told You So" is the perfect canvas for an "8 Mile" style film about T.I.'s rise to fame. The song only goes to a certain point in his career so a lot of info would have to be tacked on.

wu tang - the mgm
Rae and Ghost laid the foundation for the perfect tension filled fight night in Las Vegas.

kanye - big brother
"Big Brother" would make an excellent movie based on Kanye's rise to fame and the role Jay-Z and others played in him getting to the top.

Fresh off the plane, Im off to Baseline
Nothin' handed out, I'm 'bout to take mine
'Round the same time of that "Blueprint" one
And these beats in my pocket was that "Blueprint" for him
I'd play my little songs in that old back room
He'll bob his head and say "Damn! Oh, that's you?"
