Q-Tip recently made an appearance at the premiere of his film Holy Rollers, where he plays an Ecstasy dealer in a Jewish community. The movie, which is inspired by actual events, earned buzz and high praise during the Sundance Film Festival.
The independent film stars a predominantly Jewish cast, and focuses on one man as he strays away from his path of becoming a rabbi. Tip somewhat jokingly told the NY Daily News that he picked up a few traditions from his cast mates, particularly his recognition of the Sabbath.
“I’m going to enjoy Sabbath on Saturday, so on Friday at sunset I’m going to turn off my TV, my radio–I’m not going to do anything,” he said. “And then when the sun sets on Saturday night, I’m going to raise hell!”
The film is scheduled to release on May 21.
