RIP Phife Dawg
RIP Phife... thanks for your part in some of the best tracks in hip-hop and for being one of the best parts of it.
Those shows you did with De La when the Tribe was no more were just as great! Say hi to GURU for me...

Re: RIP Phife Dawg
Depending on your view of the afterlife there’s potentially a lot of cool people to hang out with.
This forum is really showing its age demographic. I'm sure forums packed with noob EDM producers aren't filling it with RIP threads. I predict within a year The Lounge's first page will be the iPad, random picture, TV, and movies threads and the rest will be RIPs.

Re: RIP Phife Dawg
what's truly sad is... a hip hop defining genre type icon has passed and me you and tapper are the only ones responding. This is A Tribe Called Quest ffs. It's not like we're mourning 50 Cent here...
Re: RIP Phife Dawg
I agree! I felt the same way about the keith Emerson passing, even though probably few people here were attuned (or cared) to his musical significance from a synthesist perspective. I have kind of started to realize that essentially there only about 6 people who contribute to these threads anyways. The glory days of a vibrant collective ableton community seems to have diminished significantly. And that may be a blessing in disguise at least for me, because I have found myself want to spend less time here, and more time making music.H20nly wrote:what's truly sad is... a hip hop defining genre type icon has passed and me you and tapper are the only ones responding.

I remember my youth when P. E, ATCQ, Cypress, Cube, Tupac, etc, were the voice of my generation.

Re: RIP Phife Dawg
Really sad to hear this. I've always had an eclectic musical taste, but back in the mid-nineties, ATCQ defined my musical persona, at least the persona I projected to the outside world (I was in my teens, and flagging your musical taste in the nineties was a huuuuuge part of your social identity). I kind of moved on from hip hop sometime in the latter half of the nineties, but listening to their easygoing and uplifting rhymes still brings a huge smile to my face. I really miss the lighter side of hip hop.
BTW: I only learnt of his passing just now; haven't been paying a lot of attention to news since becoming a father one and a half week ago.

Congrats sporkles!! Hardest job ever and probably the only one that gives any true meaning to the "why do I even bother?" question most days.
Just to be clear; I really do mean that in a good way!

Re: RIP Phife Dawg
Thanks! Yeah, I had to go back and edit my post when I realised it hadn't been two and a half week, only one and a half... Loving every minute of it; I wonder if I'll ever get back to making music. Right now, I think I can fit in a little nap again. Phew!H20nly wrote:Congrats sporkles!!
