What was Q-Tip's problem with the film?

Just watch it... Not everything is rosy in the land of Tribe. Let's just say Phife wears his heart on his sleeve, while Tip seems to be extremely wary of what's said in front of a camera.

Winter's Bone: Best film of 2010. Jennifer Lawrence is the next big thing.

Tip's official statement is that it wasn't finished. From seeing the film, I think he didn't like how he came across. Which is probably his own fault. He's so concerned about his image, and his legacy.

I didn't think it made Tip look bad, but maybe insensitive at times.I left feeling conflicted.I couldn't call Tip a bad guy or a good guy by the end.I almost feel the whole him being mad at rappaport may have been a promo stunt

I didn't know that Q-Tip had a quarrel with the film but here is my interpretation.

Q-tip and Ali met at a college prep school so in my opinion, they tend to be more analytical, logical and maybe a bit more professional about the differences in the group.

I see Phife as more of an emotional rapper who maybe didn't have some of the advantages of the others. Especially the chronic illness of diabetes.

I think the light shined a little brighter on Q-tip and this affected Phife's relationship with Q. I think that Phife expected Q to be more intuitive about Phife's condition. And in a few ways Phife may have even been passive aggressive about the whole situation. And maybe even a little envious of Q's "easy" rise to fame. I also believe that since things came so easily to Q, Q didn't understand the struggles that Phife had to deal with physically, emotionally and professionally.

Phife was/is blessed with a wonderful wife and I believe her suggestion of therapy was right on the mark. I believe it would have shown light on how their different experiences motivate their actions and relationship.

But these two men are both very talented and they needed each other in so many ways and what they created was both inspiring and beautiful.

The whole group had a quarrel with the film. They were suppose to be producers and have a say in getting the film right for the sake of the message. The group felt a responsibility to Hip-Hop.

The film overhyped the beef over the unity. It makes the film crass. The more I think about it the less I like it. Tribe Called Quest music is the opposite.
