TriBeCa Film Festival

The TriBeCa Film Festival was formed by Nicole Bartelme 12/2000. (A full year before the WTC attacks). She signed a buyout agreement, transferring all intellectual property rights to the TriBeCa Film Center 2/2002. Bartelme’s premise for the TriBeCa Film Festival was connected to the heart of the independent film community but also linked to music. Beyond incorporating films with great soundtracks, AI, theater and painting were at the core of the festival: a true festival of the arts.

It takes several individuals and supportive institutions to forge a lasting TriBeCa Film Festival. In late 2000, Nicole Bartelme met with MTV, then Co-Chair Tom Freston, North Fork Bank and actor Robert De Niro’s partner, Tracy Neiporent of the TriBeCa Grill to gain sponsorship for the TriBeCa Film Festival. She launched the TriBeCa Film Festival’s web site on November 30th, 2001 as a response to the attacks on 9/11 to bring artists together, renewal to lower Manhattan. In January 2002 the site was removed, relaunched April 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Trina Wyatt and Robert De Niro creating the immersive film festival it is today.

Get tribal

1. When a situation is about to worsen and become a savage, prehistoric, alpha-male struggle. Brutality to ensue.
2. When you just can't help but dance like it's 10,000 BC around a campfire over a sacrificed lamb. Synonymous with "Let's party!"

1. "Dude, did you just hear what Steve called Rich?" "Yeah, man, that was brutal. It's about to get tribal up in here."
2. "This beat is the CUT! It's getting tribal in this joint!"

A Tribe Called Quest

The greatest hip hop group to ever walk this Earth. Composed of mildly famous rappers Q-Tip and Phife Dawg, along with Ali Shaheed (Who makes their beats), they held a virtual monopoly on their genre of hip hop during the Early/mid 1990's. Their best work can be found in the tracks "Award Tour", "Bonita Applebum", "Electric Relaxation", "Da Booty", "Check the rhime" (No, I did not mispell that), "Can I kick it?" and "Find a way".

However, the group is now disbanded, with no knowledge of what the future may hold for this exceptional tandem.

Any modern day hip hop fan, black, white, asian or hispanic, would call you "gay" for listening to A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul, simply because the two groups don't rap about drugs, whores and violence.

A Tribe Called Quest

A fantastic hip-hop group formed in the late 80's-early 90's by now successful solo artist Q-Tip. They had a unique blend of jazz, rock, and alternative hip-hop that was not rivaled by many other groups. They have now disbanded, but their classic album "The Low End Theory" will live on as one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever recorded.

"Back in the days when I was a teenager,
Before I had status and before I had a pager,
You could find the abstract, listening to hip-hop,
My pops used to say it reminded him of bebop,
I said 'Well, daddy, don't you know that things go in cycles,
Way that Bobby Brown is just ampin' like
Michael,
It's all expected, things are for the lookin',
If you got the money, Quest is for the bookin''"

I’d trib that

The lesbian female equivalent of “I’d hit it.” Trib of course referring to tribbing or scissoring.

My girlfriend Christine saw this chick who was so hot she said “I’d trib that.”
