Kobe Bryant Remembers Phife Dawg & Salutes A Tribe Called Quest

Kobe Bryant Remembers Phife Dawg & The Music Of A Tribe Called Quest During A March 25th Post-Game Interview From Lakers Nation.

Kobe Bryant stopped to reflect on the legacy of Phife Dawg and the music of A Tribe Called Quest during a post-game interview on Friday, following the Lakers' loss to the Nuggets. Touching on a number of topics in the clip from Lakers Nation, Kobe talks the tragedies in Belgium, his taste in music and his post-NBA plans. Remembering the Five Foot Assassin, Kobe refers to him as a "legend" responsible for "timeless music." Tipping his hat to Phife and his brothers in rhyme, he goes into detail about their level of craft and dedication to hip-hop culture - something that is difficult to come by in music today.

What they've been able to do is make music that stands the test of time. You can release a Tribe album, and it's just as relevant and hot now as it was then. That's speaks to the attention to detail and perfection of their craft.
