To make independent films, you can't think about them too much, ponder on them too much, get overwhelmed by the enormity of it.

Were there certain things that I didn't feel were dignified enough to make it into the movie? Yeah.

But it all came, and for me, hip-hop has done more for racial divide and racial sort of bringing together than anything in the last 30 years. Seeing people like Eminem sounding like somebody like Jay-Z and just the racial aspects of it all.

Each environment is different, each job is different, and each realm of creativity that they give you is different. You try to do the best you can and put as much time into it as you can, but different jobs have different circumstances come about.

A Tribe Called Quest music was so inclusive, so conscious, it brought such a community together.

Right now I'm taking a break from hip-hop documentaries. But I would do it if things lined up.

Like any family, like any group - the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, EPMD, Public Enemy - they've had bumps in the road. I just think that because A Tribe Called Quest is so precious to fans, they were concerned about unveiling some of those things.
