Damn. Huge ATCQ fan here.

My favorite line from Electric Relaxation:

"Not to come across as a thug or a hood. But hun, you got the goods like Madelyne Woods."

If you're old enough to remember who Madelyne Woods is, you know that was a helluva complement.

Rest In Peace, Phife. And thanks for being such an important part of my youth.

No please tell me your lying, I'm really serious because this is really hitting me in my gut right now. I practically worshipped A Tribe Called Quest once my big sis put their Anthology album in my ipod when I was twelve. I looked up and down for their samples, they were just amazing as a group.

I just hope that there wasn't any bad blood between Q-tip and Phife when he passed.

Ugh..... RIP to Phife Dawg the funky diabetic :love:

Diabetes has really reached endemic proportions here in the U.S. Young people are dropping every time you look around.

Wow, Phife has been sick a long time. I remember seeing him at Lenox Square back in 1994 and losing my mind... Like "omg, it's Phife Dog".. He was a cool cat.. err, dog.. May he rest in peace.

R.I.P PHIFE. Wishing you a healthy body, dope rhymes, beats, and travels for your journey. :cry 512x512:

May the season of healing for his family be swift and comforting. ATCQ were GAME-CHANGERS for Hip-Hop. Was blessed to see them in '93 on the Midnight Marauders Tour. They were DOPE!!! Can't even get my words together, so sad. Phife's memorable one-liners and verses, what a loss.

I still can't fathom that my age peers who were so important to my college and young adult life are already leaving us. It still feels like we're youngsters, health problems and all.

#StillOnPointPhife

Lost one of the pioneers of everything we know of as "weird" and "refreshing" in rap. The likes of J Dilla, Little Brother all lived through your legacy. Rest Easy to him, one of the gods in this rap. Pray for peace of mind and solidarity with the other members as well.

Gotta give more of our legends flowers while they can still smell 'em. Can't wait for the Grammys to do it.

much love Phife, we will miss you for real.

No, phife had type 1 diabetes. He needed another kidney transplant , and he was getting dialysis weekly. He fought to the end. Rip Malik!! Praying for Deesha, his parents, and the rest of his loved ones. Gone way too soon
