Yes but its not a tragedy to hip hop because hip hop doesn't lose anything. Everything phife brought to hip hop is legacy.
Its not semantics, its reality. I know what you MEAN to say but its not communicated in how you said it
I been trying to find more details to cause of death but none of reports mentioned it at all. What is known is phife never took good care of his diabetes, indeed it in part contributed to the split of Tribe because tip was increasingly frustrated seeing phife harming himself and phife was gettingincreasingly obstinate and defensive about people checking on his health.
As i said, its a human tragedy. And i love phife especially. His brash attitude and straight up ill sense of humor (pun intended) made him one of my all time fav rappers. And that even in New York he repped Lakers hard i found endearing cuz yall know im caught up in that westcoast eastcoast shit.
When i saw this morning in my Twitter feed it shocked me... but not because i thought hip hop was losing anything. Hip hop will ALWAYS have phife's legacy. No, what we lost was a unique and inspiring human being who can never be replaced
