A Tribe Called Quest

A Tribe Called Quest is my favorite rap group ever. They provided the soundtrack to most of my high school life. When I was a senior in 1998, they broke up and released their final album. It was a sad day. 10 years went by, and they have kept very quiet, except for a few solo albums and guest appearances. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to see them live...until now. I wasn't sure about coming home from China this summer, but when I saw they would be reuniting for a tour and performing in DC, I pulled the trigger on a plane ticket. There are many good reasons for coming home, but if this was the only one, it would be worth it. It was simply the best live concert experience I have ever had, and well worth the ten year wait. Peace!
