The death of Phife Dawg, rapper and co-founder of A Tribe Called Quest, was felt throughout the hip hop community. He was trailblazer in his field. With the death of Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor, rap lost a distinctive voice from one of its most revered eras.
"The “5 foot assassin “
Phife may not have achieved Jay Z– or Kanye West–levels of fame or fortune, but he had a huge impact on a generation of artists and fans. Quest told recognizable stories about regular people, not comic-book villains. Together with De La Soul, they created a safe space for weirdness in hip-hop, and proved that jazz samples could be as sonically satisfying as funk tracks. But without Phife’s voice, Quest wouldn’t have been the major artistic force it was, influencing everyone from Outkast and the Roots to Kendrick Lamar and, yes, Kanye.
RIP to The Funky Diabetic
