Damn. Just read the news. RIP to a top shelf MC from one of my favorite groups from any genre. Phife Dawg the Five Foot Assassin will be missed.

    Can we just go 10 days without a musician dying this year? Sheesh! RIP Phife!! Got to see Tribe play at my tiny little university's homecoming one year.

    I'm sad today

    Yo, microphone check one two what is this
    The five foot assassin with the ruffneck business
    I float like gravity, never had a cavity
    Got more rhymes than the Winans got family

    No need to sweat Arsenio to gain some type of fame
    No shame in my game cause I'll always be the same
    Styles upon styles upon styles is what I have
    You want to diss the Phifer but you still don't know the half

    I sport New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path
    Messing round with this you catch "the sizing of em?
    I never half step cause I'm not a half stepper
    Drink a lot of soda so they call me Dr. Pepper

    Refuse to compete with BS competition
    Your name ain't Special Ed so won't you Seckle With the Mission
    I never walk the streets, think it's all about me
    Even though deep in my heart, it really could be

    I just try my best to like go all out
    Some might even say yo shorty black you're buggin' out

    Control the mic like Denzel on the girls
    Wack MCs be on the nuts like Rocket J. Squirrel

    I'm all that and then some, short, dark, and handsome
    Bust a nut inside your eye to show you where I come from

    I'm generally not a big rap/hip hop fan but I got turned on to A Tribe Called Quest by way of Jim Jarmusch's excellent (one of my all-time favorites) movie, "Ghost Dog". I picked up a copy of "The Low End Theory" shortly after the film came and and it's got some great stuff on it.

    Damn, Phife Dawg gone at 45. That a shame. R.I.P. Phife.
