Not sure whats worse. A hip hop icon passing, or having to read ppl post their lyrics all day on social media.

I saw him perform his second to last ATCQ show at Barclays center before Yeezus, it was so awesome but you could tell he was struggling. RIP to one of the GOAT!

Did Phife and Qtip reconcile? I know they were hot and cold the past few years but last I heard they were talking..

They had a reunion performance of "Can I Kick It" on The Tonight Show in the fall. Phife did an NPR interview right around then, too. For the 25th anniversary of their first album.

The reunion performance was good, but NBC doesn't have it online right now except for Hulu subscribers.
 
RIP. One of my favorite groups regardless of genre.

Doesn't seem like it. They did some media touring a few months ago with the People's Instinctive Travels re-issue album and Tip was constantly late or a no show for joint interviews.
 
Thank you Phife Dawg. Thank you for everything. Thank you A Tribe Called Quest. Thank you for every memory, every cypher...fuck I can't..
 
I wasn't too familiar with the Tribe's work, but their influence was undeniable. Sad way to go at 45, due to diabetes at that. RIP Phife. You will always remain one of the greats.
 
FUCK, just got to the crib and my mom just randomly says she heard about it on DL Hughley's radio show.

I was like, "Who?", and she's like his name was uh "Feff, Fuff..., Oh! He had a song called Check The Rhime."

My heart sunk. Eyes teared up tbh.

RIP to a legend.

Thanks.
I went to art school and all that.
Currently Adobe is featuring a few of my drawings under the Community Drawings part of the Adobe Illustrator Draw app if you download it for iOS or Android.

I am a bit older and tried "making it" as an Illustrator about 20 years ago, got a few jobs but ultimately just wound up doing website design and shit, which I was able to make a living off of but didn't really enjoy for an art perspective. I actually stopped drawing completely and just started back up again in December when I got an iPad Pro from my wife to start drawing again. As weird as it sounds although I regret not drawing for close to 10 years, I think it helped as I was someone burned out on doing art. Now I am not.

Trying one last attempt at "making it" with my drawings, so the kind words are appreciated and help fuel me. So truly and sincerely thank you.
