Andre 3000, Jack White, A Tribe Called Quest, and Dave Chappelle were all seen in the studio.

Sometimes things are too good to be true. Other times, things are so good you don’t give a shit about plausibility, you just ball up your fists and try to wish them into existence. For a lot of us, that was the case when Chris Rock posted the following on Instagram:

Yep – that’s Chris Rock, André 3000, A Tribe Called Quest member Jarobi White, Jack White (no relation, pretty sure), Dave Chappelle, and legendary producer of Boogie Down Productions fame D-Nice. Now, sure, this just looks like they’re hanging out but then HOLY GUACAMOLE is that them in the studio? And is that Q-Tip kneeling by the board with Queen Latifah sitting in the background???

Aw snap. Star studded track, hilarious comedic interlude – clearly it’s on, right? Sadly, almost certainly not. April 1st may have come and gone, but unlike the rest of us, Rock is a comedian every day (plus actually funny) and it looks like he was having a little fun. The group of  entertainment luminaries (which also included neo-soul genius D’Angelo and De La Soul’s Posdnuous, because apparently there wasn’t enough ridiculous talent present) got together at Q-Tip’s New Jersey house following the tribute to Phife Dawg that took place at Harlem’s Apollo Theater.

There’s a bunch of pics from the hangout on White’s Instagram – but evidence of working on new music? Not so much. “Wait, but what about that studio picture?” I can hear you crying desperately. Well:

Yeah, apparently that’s just them in Q-Tip’s dope-ass home studio watching the classic hip-hop film Beat Street. Because, to paraphrase Kanye West, their lives are dope and they do dope shit. Well, it’s great to see these guys had the chance to get together and celebrate the life of an all-time great. Still – dick move, Chris. Way to play with our emotions.
