The group reunited in 2006, and broke up after opening for Kanye West on his Yeezus tour. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the group's Phife Dawg claims it was Q-Tip's decision, and it doesn't sit well with him. "I think it is ludicrous that we are not performing together...Tribe is no longer a group, first off. So once Q-Tip made the announcement that those were the last two shows, that was pretty much it, for real...it's dumb, and I don't agree with it and we're doing the fans a great injustice by not getting together and rocking, and that's all I can really speak on as far as that goes."

If you've watched the documentary Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest, you'll know that Phife and Q-Tip disagreeing is nothing new. Watch the not-a-reunion above.
