"Q-Tip has been very vocal in his disapproval of Beats, Rhymes &amp;amp; Life, Michael Rapaport&amp;apos;s documentary about his legendary rap group A Tribe Called Quest. Mainly, he&amp;apos;s upset that Rapaport has not responded to his input regarding the film. In a Twitter rant in December, the rapper publicly pulled his support of the project, saying that Rapaport should &amp;quot;respect the band enough to honor our request regarding the film.&amp;quot; Now he&amp;apos;s claiming that Rapaport&amp;apos;s crew had plotted to drop Tribe&amp;apos;s producer credits and take them out of the loop regarding creative decisions. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn this clip from an MTV News interview, Q-Tip reads from an email he says he received accidentally from one of the movie&amp;apos;s producers. &amp;quot;First off, let&amp;apos;s close the billing block and put it on the poster so they can&amp;apos;t get on that,&amp;quot; the email reads. &amp;quot;They we&amp;apos;ll [bleep] them on everything else,&amp;quot; it continues. Q-Tip then says that getting the accidental email was a &amp;quot;godsend,&amp;quot; because it alerted him to the filmmakers&amp;apos; hostility toward the group.
