  • Great record:




    He's also a very nice guy.

    So it is my opinion that he does not suck.

  • he isnt the most gifted rapper in the world but I really like his style. I have not, however, heard anything he has done since ATCQ.

    it's not like honey dip would wanna get with me...but just in case I hold more condoms than TLC

    CLASSIC SHIT.

    does he really get loose off of orange juice? (it's quite clear that he invested no more than a minute to write each and every one of his rhymes).

    Completely agree... A couple cool one liners don't make up for the 99% of his wackass rhymes

  • This thread is completely irrelevant.

    Yea, I don't know what the hate is all about. I like his style and so what if his solo stuff isn't blowing doors? He does have skills even if you don't like them. He was part of a classic group that made real world moves and you know this mang!

    dude was always making claims that he was a battle emcee. he wasn't. his sole value add from People's Instinctive til the end was a stylistic contrast to Tip, nothing more. If you say his style is wack then you're right on.



    all apologies: phife-focus was very ss-2000 --> http://www.soulstrut.com/features/2000/phife.php



    relevance? haha.

    1. What rapper doesn't claims he's the baddest MF on every level?

    2. Did you even battle him?

    i am not an emcee, dude. phife is/was. he was not a good one. relisten to the tribe albums. his flow is by and large embarassing. it was a hard realization for me at first, too, but it's okay to admit it.



    kid my shit's the bomb, ask my peep's in OK is hardly as badass as you thought at the time, no?

    how can you say that phife sucks? to me that's like saying enter the 36 chambers is outdated and stale. sure his solo work is not all that, but to diss him altogether separates you from an entire demographic. brooklyn is crazy hot and muggy right now.... what the fuck are you guys doing? -matt

    volumen, you and i are in agreement on this one, just to make things clear.

    it's not at all like saying an entire album was weak. that would be saying: the love movement sucked. or beats rhymes and life sucked, which is not what i am saying phife sucks. i wish jarobi had recited song titles to take up the place of some of the weakass phife lyrics on a few subsequent albums. heh.

    i am drinking gray goose. that makes me very hiphop these days doesnt it.

    yo, none of the emcees from tribe were great emcees but they did well over the beats they had. i dont think anyone would have done as good of a job over their shit than them and i wouldn't want it any other way

    i never like paul mcartney's vocals

    His solo schitt is garbage (sorry Ross), as were his contributions to the final two Tribe albums. His voice literally changed for some reason.

    All of that said, going out of your way to pick on the dude in 2005 is some pretty meanspirited schitt.

    phife was the arhtur lee of tribe. Im serious.

    man, the love movement does suck! but that's tribe as a whole... we're in ny for a friend's wedding right now, listening to bettye swann, and grey goose martinis are my shit... we're pals foreve3r now. -m

    your styles are incomplete, same as Vinny Testaverde.
