Fuck man this is sad news. RIP to the Funky Diabetic

ATCQ was before my time but when I went back to their classics I knew he was dope as hell very unique voice and witty punchlines

First time I heard him open up this song it was a wrap

Yo, microphone check one, two, what is this

The five foot assassin with the roughneck business

I float like gravity, never had a cavity

Got more rhymes than the Winans got family

No need to sweat Arsenio to gain some type of fame

No shame in my game cause I'll always be the same

Styles upon styles upon styles is what I have

You wanna diss the Phifer but you still don't know the half

I sport New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path

Mess around with this you catch a size eight up your ass​

I never half step cause I'm not a half stepper

Drink a lot of soda so they call me Dr. Pepper

Refuse to compete with BS competition

Your name ain't Special Ed so won't you seckle with the mission

I never walk the street thinking it's all about me

Even though deep in my heart, it really could be

I just try my best to like go all out

Some might even say yo shorty black you're buggin' out
 
Daaaaamn I had to log in to give my condolences to a legend. I JUST listened to Find My Way 3 days ago and copped their discography again... Sad af bruh...

Rest in Power Phife...

According to DJ Chuck Chillout‘s Twitter post, the legendary Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest has passed away at the young age of 45. Chuck Chillout posted the Tweet just after 1 a.m. EST Wednesday morning [March 23].

The Five-Foot Assassin has been battling his health for years, consistently fighting Type-I diabetes, which he developed in 1990.

The news of his death was also confirmed by Statik Selektah, and many veteran Hip Hop artists, including Aesop Rock, Chuck D and El-P, who have taken to social media to express their condolences, as well.

A Tribe Called Quest, of course, is Hip Hop royalty and greatly respected by countless fans around the world. No details surrounding his exact cause of death have yet been reveled. Check back for updates as this story continues to develop.

Phife Dawg Forever!!!
