Last week, rap star Kanye West paid homage to Phife at a star-studded New York City memorial.

“[A Tribe Called Quest’s] Low End Theory was the first album I ever bought and I stayed in the suburbs of Chicago with my stepfather, my mama, it was her boyfriend, I called him my stepfather. I’d always get into trouble listening to music during the week and I had to go to detention or study hall, whatever they called it but I enjoyed it because I had that Tribe tape. It didn’t really matter how long that walk was.” (YouTube)
