I never listened to The Love Movement, it's probably a decent album, Find My Way was aight
I think J Dilla is a talented producer although I would also like to understand why all these artists worship him (not really)
I don't think I could willingly watch Rappaport's documentary
I have a thing about Beats Rhymes and Life. It was the first and only album I bought when it dropped and with my hard earned money. In a way it was a labor of love for lil old me.
Listening to it was in a sense, traumatic, witnessing the break up of your favorite group was not wavy for my young self and I blamed Tip and Dilla for pushing Phife Diggy out so that they can partake in their hipsterish ways
That's my Phife Dawg story
RIP Five Foot Assassin
at the boldedPlus Dilla had production on Phifes solo.
The breakup was all Q-Tip, Phife even had some bars for him on the ventilation LP and promo leading the up to it (freestyle on rap city), I remember that vividly.

You're misconstruing the story, it is not an objective history or review of ATCQ but MY anecdote of who I thought was the glue of the group. Otherwise imo they would have just been a better Digable Planets and my regular ass self would never have given them a second take.

It is my mommy and daddy are fighting story and they're going to divorce and everything will never be the same again and my young self irrationally blames daddy for breaking up the fambily. It is an anecdote of the affect the group and Phife had on me as a youngin.
RIP Phife

conglomerateentI had to spend the last 2 days going thru a lot of honest thoughts and emotions b 4 I spoke because this one hurts soooo fukking much. I can't begin to explain what @iamthephiferand @qtiptheabstract and @jarobiwhite and@alishaheed means to me and how much they have done for my life. These guys are my big brothers, my friends, and the dudes that always protected me frm the bullshyt that came with life both personally and professionally in a way that only big brothers can do it. If u look at this picture closely, on the night of one of my my most magical moments in my 25 year journey in music DEC.5th 2015, I was able to have a dream come true in a way that it never had and that was to perform What's the scenario (original and the rmx) for the 1st time ever back to back with all of the original members of Leaders of the New School and A Tribe Called Quest since we recorded these songs in 1991 & 1992. That night was so magical with all of the love that was under one roof that it's too much to get into the details of but again please take another look at this picture, if u notice @iamthephifer had his hand on my back consoling me as I kneeled down to give thanks crying tears of joy because of how proud of a moment that was for me being able to end a 4 hour set with brothers who put me in a position where I was able to tell my mother she will not have to work for anyone over 20 yrs ago. The belief that they had in me puttin' me and Leaders on that record, putting me last on the record because back then being last on the record meant EVERYTHING, I had no idea at that time what they were setting me up in life to be but thru out the years it was so consistent their love and concern for my well being that it was no way I couldn't see it. Ever since that concert I have had the opportunity to spend time with Phife way more than I have been able to in over 10yrs. I've known this man for over 28yrs and I think I've seen him in the last 4 months the happiest that I've seen him in a very long time. It was apparent that every wish that he had was coming true and I can honestly say that I was witnessing the anointing frm a bird's eye view 1st hand. Until we meet again King, RIP
