In my recent Silver Anniversary review of one of Tragedy Khadafi's earliest singles, I promised to share the links to the documentary on his life called Tragedy: The Story of Queensbridge.
This documentary lasts approx 1 hour and was filmed in the Queensbridge projects across a two year period. It attempts to capture the essential parts of his life that have ultimately shaped him to the be the man that he is, and it does this relatively well.
Whilst following Tragedy on his journey, we are given a rare and honest insight into what Queensbridge was like in the 1980's when some of the biggest names in hip hop were exploding onto the scene. Trag himself wears his heart on his sleeve and gives frank and open accounts of his past, each one helping to put pieces of the jigsaw into place.
There are plenty of fascinating bits of information, history, interviews etc that help to make this documentary a little different to most others. Even those who may not be fans of Tragedy or QB hip hop will no doubt appreciate this documentary for the historical perspective it portrays.
There are appearances and commentary from Marley Marl, Mobb Deep, Capone & Noreaga amongst others.
You can either watch this documentary on YouTube (in 7 parts) or download a copy to view in a single part. Either way it's the same version.
The quality of the rip isn't as good as what we usually like to provide you with, but this is the best copy I can find. Although it pixelates a little, it doesn't really detract from the content of the film and I would still recommend giving it a watch.
