OMG, my mother just text me this morning about the bad news. People as a whole need to be more conscious of their health and take more care of themselves, because Diabetes is no joke. May he forever rest in paradise.

This is not a case of someone who didn't take care of himself.....he's been fighting since the 90s when he got diagnosed

It was a general statement.

I'm wondering what part of Antioch. Like the Hillcrest area in a nice ass house, where everybody from Oakland & Richmond moved to when they got their section 8, or like the slums of downtown Antioch. Lol. That's crazy how out of all places.

The Antioch High & Pittsburg High rivalry used to be lit lol

cs. Never had a gimmick. Never tried to tell us how gangster they were or intellectual they were. Just some dudes who made music.

Its a shitty situation, but i hope the loss of Phife will spark some sort of reunion so they can make a final album for Jive and get out of their contract. Phife was a huge part of Tribe for me though, i preferred his verses more than Q Tips pretty often. Was better than Jarobi too. When i read this shit my jaw dropped, i was literally shocked. 2 Major hip hop losses for me in 2 years.

RIP Sean Price and Phife Dawg. And Dilla.
