MORE HONORS FOR A TRIBE CALLED QUEST
Hip Hop was the center of attention at the first ever National Cannibus Festival in Washington, DC. Legendary rap group De La Soul was the headline for the event, and performed a plethora of singles from their catalogue, including some new music from their upcoming project that’s dropping in August. Plug One (also known as Posdnuos) rapped his verse from De La’s new single “Train Wreck” for the first time ever during the performance. Another shining moment during De La Soul’s performance was when the trio honored legendary hip hop group, A Tribe Called Quest by performing a brief verse from their single “Excursions.” To end their performance, and close the festival, De La Soul went back to perform their biggest hits including “Me Myself, and I,” “Rock Co.Kane Flow,” and the classic single which features ATCQ, Queen Latifah, and the Jungle Brothers as super collective, Native Tongues. Although the festival focused mainly on pushing marijuana policy through several panels, vendors, and products, their performance managed to bring together everyone to for a trip back to the old days of Hip Hop. Check out pictures of their performance below.
(AllHipHop News) Justin Timberlake, Tyler The Creator, and Chad Hugo were guests on a recent episode of Pharrell Williams and Scott Vener’s Beats 1 Radio show OTHERtone. Video of the conversation has now been uploaded to YouTube. The clip included the entertainers discussing being inspired by A Tribe Called Quest. [ALSO READ: A Tribe Called Quest Statement On Death of Group Member Phife] “I don’t know who Chad would say was his influence in slamming those elements together, but for me it was Q-Tip and Tribe. That Low End Theory man,” said Pharrell about his production with The Neptunes. Vener then asked about their relationship with ATCQ member Phife Dawg. Pharrell spoke about how when he was working with Timbaland, he believed Magoo sounded like Tip and he sounded like Phife. “I sounded terrible, but in my mind at that time, you couldn’t tell me anything. Just because of what Tribe represented to me. That was the birth of my personal interest,” stated Pharrell. Chad added, “The thing that did it for me for A Tribe Called Quest with their music was their love for Jazz.” In addition, Tyler and Timberlake reflected on their experiences working with and watching The Neptunes create tracks. JT also commented on collaborating with the production duo for his debut solo album Justified.

PHIFE HAS A NEW BEER !
(AllHipHop News) Yesterday (April 5) friends, family and rappers from across the industry including Kanye West, Busta Rhymes, The Roots and Andre 3000 paid tribute to the late Phife Dawg. While everyone celebrated, laughed and cried for Phife in “A Celebration of Phife Dawg” at the Apollo Theater, Smokin’ Needles Records released the first post-humous record from Phife called, “Nutshell,” now available to download via iTunes. The video caps off what’s been a tragic two weeks for Hip-Hop as fans of A Tribe Called Quest mourn one of its founding members. With the release of his “Nutshell” visual that premiered on Billboard, fans are also treated to a new track produced by J Dilla. “Unaccustomed to unproven whack flows/Unresponsive to unapproved stages shows/That’s unacceptable, unexciting, lazy f*cker/Phife here, canny, uncommon rhyme spitter,” Phife Dawg spits on the new song. The past two days have been dedicated to Phife Dawg by friends, family and partners in rap. Prior to the funeral services two days ago (April 4), ATCQ asked fans to meet them at St. Albans Park in Queens for “A Celebration of Phife.” The park is the same park that is being petitioned to be renamed Malik Taylor Park The first 200 fans that arrived received a Phife Dawg t-shirt and ticket to yesterday’s show at the Apollo. In the mean time, fans will be eagerly awaiting Tribe’s Give Thanks project. Half of the proceeds from “Nutshell” will be donated to the American Diabetes Association and the National Kidney Foundation, check out the visual below.
