RIP Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest

Phife Dawg of the legendary and hugely influential hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest passed away this morning.

Whether you like hip hop or not, you have to respect the impact that A Tribe Called Quest had on music. They were a big part of teens and twenties and will always remind me of good times.

    First I heard of them was a reference in an Eminem song. Then listened to them. R.I.P. Much too young

    Had to correct that...
  • People's Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm, Low End Theory, and Midnight Marauders are all hip hop classics.
