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.

New Phife Dawg Video Emerges, Track To Be On New ATCQ Album

(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.
