But today, I want everyone who see's this to stop & take a minute to remember one of hip hops "GREATS" !!!! Malik #PhifeDawg Taylor was a rap pioneer, an innovator & overall just a dope individual... Everything he did even from afar, for me as a fan of Tribe Called Quest was so epic & really made me appreciate music in its raw form as a kid engulfed by the lifestyle that would later shape the world...... & from a fan to becoming a close friend of his & @QTipTheAbstract made those childhood memories even more historic.... The last conversation I had with Phife was a short one & I'll share our parting words with you.... He said: "Yo G-Money, you gotta let the music consume you until you feel like you can't breathe without it".... All I said in return was... "I got you OG"...... & then I listened to Midnite Marauders on repeat for the next week to get inspiration for my #1992 solo project....... I say all that to say, just because your not here anymore in the physical presence doesn't mean I won't do my part in sharing my memories of your memory with whoever has time to read it today..... Rest Easy Phife & my condolences to your family..... Just talked to @QtipTheAbstract & he told me "When a close ones physical is done, you pick up life where they left it & continue on to places ONLY YOU CAN GO"..... I got it. Love - The Game
