Hearing the music and seeing the videos in this documentary instantly transported me to a familiar and beloved time and place. ATCQ was one of those defining groups of the 90's. To this day "Scenario" is my favorite collaborative rap song.
"Beats, Rhyme & Life" chronicles ATCQ's formation through to their disbanding. Sadder than their disbanding was the beef between Q-Tip and Fife Dawg. As a fan you never want to hear that there are problems in paradise. You want all of your favorite groups to love each other as much as you love them and never separate, but the truth is that families have fights and sometimes never speak again. It was definitely the more difficult part of the documentary to watch.
All in all though, I loved the documentary. ATCQ is one of my favorite groups and you don't really see rap groups anymore. They came up in an era when groups were common, and now the only rap group I know is Migos. Things have certainly changed, so I was glad to see this documentary to remind me of how things used to be.
