“He is my hero” – Q-Tip Sends Up A Loving Note To The Late Phife Dawg


As we continue to remember the life and love of Phife Dawg in the wake of the five-footer’s death on March 22nd, we’ve heard touching remembrances from damn-near all of NYC’s hip-hop constituency. Yesterday morning, just after the announcement of A Tribe Called Quest‘s Celebration Of Phife memorial, Q-Tip took his own salute off-air with a few touching notes delivered via Twitter, which you can read through just below. The Celebration Of Phife memorial begins today at 10:30AM at St. Alban’s Park in Queens, New York, rain or shine. Join us in putting one up for the late Phife Dawg. Gone much too soon.
