    ...not sure I saw any thread to mark his passing at the young age of 45 a few days back.

    Not a big fan of rap and hip hop...but dammit a Tribe Called Quest were great. From the golden age of that genre, De La Soul, Arrested Development, Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim etc. etc.

    You on point Phife? All the time Tip...

    No problem with the original gangster rappers because it was real at that time

    Glad I was around to listen to it as it was being released, late eighties early nineties was the last great time to be a teenager who loved music whatever the genre

    Feel sorry for kids today

    Very sad as I'm a massive ATCQ fan. There was a documentary a few years back by Michael Rappaport on Tribe and it highlighted some of Phife's struggles. Well worth watching.

    Well I guess that finally answers that question:(

    Never knew his name just the music.
    And he left most of that particular wallet with Lou Reed.
    Never understood how that particular travesty was never properly addressed for a generation of NEW music.

    RIP

    I guess Q Tip was the one who emerged from ATCQ with the highest profile, and might be far more recognised today than Phife.
