Tribe hip-hops into town with Fugees
Even after this summer's unprecedented, yet very successful Smokin' Grooves Tour and an amazing new album, "Rhymes, Beats, and Life," A Tribe Called Quest hasn't begun to slow down.Once again, Q-tip the Abstract, Phife-Dawg, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad have packed up their bags, turntables and microphones to start on a college tour. It may disappoint you to hear that they are not gracing our University with their presence, but fear not, because they are basically performing in our backyard. This Saturday night, A Tribe Called Quest will take the stage with their cohorts, the Fugees, at Bowen Field House on Eastern Michigan's campus.
'Bus' highlights racial struggle
Once again, Spike Lee has created a film of the times. In his latest venture, "Get on the Bus," the emotional and complicated aspects of modern society are reflected in the tension and enthusiasm of African American men on their way to support their race. The plot focuses on 20 men whose lives have converged on a bus to Washington for the Million Man March. They come from all walks of life, but are all bound by a common goal. The clash in their personalities make the story far from the standard cross-country tale. They have had no prior knowledge of each other, and the way their lives change through the course of a six-day trip from Southern California to the nation's capital is amazing.
