RIP Phife

:cry:

RIP

Now here’s a funky introduction of how nice I am.
Tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram.
I’m like an energizer 'cause, you see, I last long.
My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong.

Fucking gutted rn. RIP. One of the greats, one of the few who had substance, style, flow.

Linden Boulevard represent, represent
Tribe Called Quest represent, represent
When the mic is in my hand, I’m never hesitant
My favorite jam back in the day was Eric B. for Presi…

Rude boy composer, step to me you’re over
Brothers wanna flex, you’re not Mad Cobra
MC short and black, there ain’t no other
Trini-born black like Nia Long’s grandmother
Tip and Sha they all that, Phife Dawg ditto
Honey tell your man to chill, or else you’ll be a widow
Did not you know that my styles are top-dollar?
The Five-Foot Assassin knocking fleas off his collar
Hip hop scholar since being knee high to a duck
The height of Muggsy Bogues, complexion of a hockey puck
You better ask somebody on how we flip the script
Come to a Tribe show and watch the three kids rip

This was one his most underrated verses imo

The way he upped his level from Low End Theory to Midnight Marauders is nuts, and thats with even having some of the all time verses on Low End, & Buggin Out is probably his signature tune.

Flows harder on this

Sad i’ll never see him live
