Just push it along boys.
RIP Phife Dawg.
ITT: talentless hacks
Feels BAD man
I only knew him from the introlude of TLC's CrazySexyCool. He was good, but I don't believe anyone had more condoms than TLC.

I plead the Phife
wft my why does no one care here
>tfw listening to Beats, Rhymes and Life
>all the shit he went through and constantly being second best in ATCQ
>find out he died while listening to the closing track
when I heard people say damn /mu/ 2016 is a bad year for you before, I was kinda annoyed by it, but now it's pretty obvious something's up. It's like a curse.
When's the last time you heard a funky diabetic?
he was a shit rapper desu
I like em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian too, Phife Dawg.

>wake up
>first thing I see is the p4k article about Phife's death
The same thing happened to me with Bowie, fuck everything.
>>63520139
No sticky? This board is shit.
>>63520167
IT'S 2016
WHY ARE WHITE MEN APPROPRIATING BLACK LANGUAGE LIKE "POWER"?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
>>63522143
>died listening to the last track
Source?
Rest in beats, Phife Diggity.
Make some sick jams with Dilla and ODB.
>>63522143
>Beats Rhymes life
Phife put himself on Par with tip on that album.
>>63522488
Phifes death is the only reason I'm here, shame doesn't have a real thread.
that fucking awful feel when you go to google expecting it to be a troll thread
>>63522832

Literally got into tribe 2 months ago, Midnight Marauders made me feel something no other hip hop album could. Low End Theory had the same result. A friend shared the post and it instantly bummed me out. RIP Phife Dawg
"just lay down your burdens by the riverside. hah, and you'll be alright"
:(
>>63522488
came to /mu/ to see if they had a sticky. not surprised at all you guys don't.
so glad i never come to this garbage board.
Rest in Power, big dawg.
ATCQ took hip-hop to a whole new level, rest in peace Phiphe
Rest in Power, big dawg
>>63523128
Wtf is a phiphe
I blame the NY Knicks
>>63523108
This.
This is probably the first famous death of the year that has truly affected me. Tribe got me into hip hop and I listen to them virtually everyday. Rest in Peace Phife the five footer.
Favourite Phife verse (or track) guys? I love every thing about 'Butter'. And we can't forget the classic Electric Relaxation verse.
>>63523446
why were you not upset by Bowie
>>63523466
I listened to his music now and then but I suppose I never felt emotionally connected to his music to feel anything for his death. I appreaciate his role in the industry and his influence - but it just didn't upset me. Sorry.
I've been listenenig to ATCQ religiously since I was like 11, so yeah...of course I'm upset about Phife.

white people everybody.
no fucking respect for anything
>>63523633
Don't feed the trolls. Come on, man. Number one rule of the Internet.
>>63520139
sheesh, this hits hard. i was listening to the low end theory earlier today.

>>63523633
fuck off with your racism, shit response b8
>>63520139
Wow, I don't even know what to say. This sucks, man.
Rest In Peace.
>Like my beats hard like 2 day old shit
>>63523446
>>63523446
His Award Tour verse was, and still is actually, my favourite verse of all time. Following the smooth flow of Tip then one of the coolest hooks in Hip Hop, Phife like always comes in with his raw, almost grimey in contrast verse that I always felt was one his best.
RIP you brilliant diabetic genius
>not my home board
>learn Phife died this morning
>no sticky
>page 5
The fuck is this shit?
/mu/ has been slipping when it comes to stickies about dead idols. It's shameful.
>>63522488

>>63522499
there is no such thing as 'black language' you inbred fuckwad. And who gives a shit about 2016?

Google "Ebonics."
That being said use of the word "power" is in no way appropriation of anything and the person you responded to was baiting you
>>63524658
He's feeling it.
>>63520139
>tfw they were trying to bring back ATCQ.
>tfw hip-hip and rap never got better than ATCQ
>tfw it only got worse to the point where now it's essentially a joke
R.I.P you glorious bastard

Same.
RIP tho.

Night phife. Thanks for everything

>>63525932

>>63525963

>>63520139
Daily reminder ATCQ is not only the best hip hop group ever, but the best hip hop artists period
fuck me how many times have I listened to low end theory and contemplated my own life.
this hits fucking hard man.
you'll always be on point phife ..
>>63521130
KEKEKEKEKEKEK YOURE FUCKING A WHITE MALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>63526288
i feel you
Rest In It 5 foot assassin
This guy was a trash lyrcist and is a favorite of hipster white boys who don't know the culture. Glad he's dead, hope a white boy who wants to be black cried today
>>63526777
i'm gay
>>63522488
C-list untalented rappers don't deserve a sticky 2bh. Nobody cared about him when he was alive, and people only care about him now that he's dead because they want to signal to each other that they listen to ATCQ. In one week, nobody will care again
>>63522488
Came here to post this
>>63526827
i like dick

I saw the headline and was honestly hoping it was anyone but Phife, but I knew exactly who it was going to be when I opened up the article. RIP in Peace, Phife Dawg
damn 2016 is just out for blood

>Phife put himself on Par with tip on that album.
I also think he outshined Tip on most of Midnight Marauders. But it's not about who's 'better.' They played off one another really well, elevating each other to be better. ATCQ were untouchable in their day.

>>63526827
Phife is in my top 5 favorite MC's he was very humble and probably never wanted to be a huge star, just provide the world with real hip hop and see people have a good time. He was a true hip hop god with the most entertaining flows and lyrics. RIP PHIFE DIGGY DAWG you will be loved and missed dearly
MICROPHONE CHECK, 1, 2, WHAT IS THIS?
No more shit music? Fine by me!

Fuck man, rest in fucking peace phife dawg.
>>63528137
Don't recall Tribe ever pulling any fake gangsta or bling shit either. Unless I'm wrong and they did
As original as it gets. Rest in Power, big dawg.
>>63522488
George Martin, Glenn Frey and Emerson didn't get stickies. It's only the biggest of the big names or the memiest of the memes that'll get stickies.

My favorite Tribe moments are when he busts out the fake Jamaican patois. Don't know why but it's great every time.
>>63520139
He liked em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican, and Haitian
RIP Phife Dawg from the Zulu Nation
You on point Tip?
Yo, all the time Phife
So play the resurrector and give the dead some life.... RIP Phife
>>63520139
born 88, listened to hip hop entire childhood
this guy was total ass, by far the worst flow in Tribe, hot garbage. Yeah it sucks he died so early, Guru died at 40 and that nigger could actually rap.
you posers will cry crocodile tears about anything on this pretentious board for anonymous hipster cred. No one's posting anything longer than 2 bars by this cat because it's basic af. Can we stop now?

me: i get that i sort of missed the boat on this guy, being born in 1996, but i really liked phife. i enjoyed his rhymes given the context of hip hop at the time, and feel that a tribe called quest really contributed to the formation of a genre i truly love and appreciate. reast in peace phife.
you: durr.. Huhr..r brohgh. I Was Born In 1988. I(M love death grips... hip hop ftw!

See, this is how I know this site is literally dead.
This is how I know most of these people are autistic kids who have no FUCKING SEMBALNCE OF an idea how much this man (and the group) meant to 90s Hip-Hop and music in general.
No respect for a fucking pioneer, and these FUCKING SHIT MODS dont sticky one of the most important figures in black music. This man was part of a group that literally changed the face of his era forever and he cant even get his proper respect on this shit board.
Your fucking favorite artists were influenced by this man. They will continue to do so for generations.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER TRIBE.
I cant take this blatant disrespect anymore. Let this board rot in the deepest depths of hell.
Fuck. Rest In peace Phife. You changed my life and the way I write music to this day. Finding Tribes albums in my Uncle's collection made me see there was more to hip hop than just guns and drugs and trivial shit. And even when it was about asinine things like leaving your wallet in El Segundo and figuring out what was the scenario it was always lighthearted and fun. You taught me to believe in myself when nobody else would
>If I Ever went solo my favorite MC would be me!
>If I dont say im the best then who the hell will??
And you made me stand up for myself when I thought I was just a short punk with no voice. Thank you, Five Foot Assassin, for your contribution to Hip Hop and may your legacy continue to live on. I feel like I lost a father today.
Fuck I hate you so much /mu/ im never fucking coming back to this shit board.
This is how I know Im literally too old for this shit.
Damn
When's the last time something's been stickied purely out of respect?
Lol this is a great day
One shit negro babbler down, more to go.
But seriously though, you consider this shit "music"? What swine you must be. I'm laughing at you idiots, crying rivers of tears because some lame excuse of a musician died. Its hilarious.
>>63522143
I JUST listened to that album. Time to start from the beginning, and leading into the solo gigs.
Jarobi even did an album under the alias evitaN.
>>63535350
Shouldn't you be dead now Phife?
>>63520139
Damn, thought you guys were just memeing for a second but it turns out it's true. Not a giant ATCQ fan but can't deny the positive influence they had on the genre, RIP.
>>63535350
heavy cringe
Listening through their discography, decide to check out the 25th anniversary remaster of People's Instinctive Rhymes. Everything sounds fantastic, except this new, shortened version of Can I Kick It?, which has been pretty much ruined by the changes. Why did Bob Power have to fuck around with it so much?
