News: Tribe Called Quest Reunites For Tour
We have the video game NBA 2K7 to thank for reuniting Q-Tip, Phife Dawg and Ali Shaheed Muhammad to perform together for the first time in eight years.
The three members of historic rap group A Tribe Called Quest are back together again to headline the upcoming 2K Sports Bounce Tour, which will make 14 stops across the country in promotion of "NBA 2K7." (See itinerary below.)
According to MTV.com, Phife's obsession with video games helped to seal the deal. He'll also appear as a playable character in NBA 2K7, along with Flavor Flav, Common, the Roots' ?uestlove and other hip hop artists.
Tribe will also appear on the game's soundtrack. Hip-hop producer Dan the Automator remixed the group's "Lyrics to Go" from their 1993 album, "Midnight Marauders" for the CD, due in mid-September.
"NBA 2K7" will also be released this fall for Xbox 360, Xbox and PlayStation 2. A PS3 version is also in development.
