I think straying away from the music was an attempt to bring in a wider audience. People that had never heard of Tribe and couldn't connect with the music would at the least find the story of a band breaking up entertaining. At least that's how I saw it.

I was hoping to see "Beats, Rhymes & Life" as told to Wax Poetics. I didn't get that. I shouldn't have gone in looking for that though. Unfortunately, that film wouldn't have made any money either so...*shrug*
