"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
The World Lost one of Its Greatest Hip-Hop Pioneers and Most Beloved Figures last night.. as Malik Isaac Taylor, otherwise known as Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest, saw the end to his life at age 45.
Although the actual cause of death has not yet been announced, Phife had ongoing health issues for years as a result of battling Type 1 Diabetes. These problems even led to a Kidney Transplant in 2008.
Tribe and Phife were known for being not only Pioneers to the burgeoning Hip-Hop Genre of music in the late 80’s and early 90’s, but as ones whose energy maintain a positive vibe to Hip-Hop, which is very much missing today.
Phife will be greatly missed and we hope you all enjoy some old school Tribe today

A Tribe Called Quest Is Getting all Their Just Respect these days…
We sadly lost Phife Dawg just a couple weeks ago. And Tribe has already taken over a Street in Queens, and gets Tribute performances all around, just as Busta Rhymes paid tribute to Phife at the KOD World Cup last Friday Night at the Honda Center in Anaheim
Well, just a couple days later Busta posted a pic from a pretty High Power Birthday Dinner for Q-Tip to his Instagram, one headed up by recent Oscar Winner Leonardo DiCaprio himself… and he brought along his old homies Kevin Connolly of Entourage and Lukas Haas who co-starred in The Revenant with Leo.
Leo’s always been a big fan of Hip-Hop, even doing his best to get Hip-Hop into his films…as Jay-Z was Executive over the Tunes for “Gatsby“.
And Tip’s and Leo have been homeys for a while so no doubt he did the reach out in a time where they’re still missing Phife
