Hollywood Celebrates Hip Hop: The Stars Shine at the Tribe Called Quest Movie Screening

The event was very well attended by loyal fans of both hip hop and a Tribe Called Quest supporters.  Other notable attendees included rappers Jarobi White and Phife Dawg.  Actress Joy Bryant was spotted sharing a gleeful moment with actor turned film director Michael Rapaport.  As you may already know, Rapaport once shared the screen with legendary rappers Busta Rhymes and Icd Cube in the 1995 hit “Higher Learning” which was directed by John Singleton who was also there to show his support. Also, from the “Higher Learning” alumni, Actress Regina King was spotted sharing a warm embrace with Rapaport.  Guests were then treated to a live performance from the group and music by legendary DJ Anthony Valadez.  Although the group officially disbanded in 1998, it was nice to see the same love and admiration they once had for their craft back when they were popular.  Overall, the atmosphere had all the makings of talented rap performance by actually talented performers; qualities that seem to be lacking in the current state of Hip Hop stars.  The film so far has gotten rave reviews by critics alike and is expected to be released into theaters July 8th.
