R.I.P. Phife. ATCQ were probably my favourite rap group of all time, just edging out Wu Tang (if we discount solo albums), and only recently I was listening to The Low End Theory for the first time in YEARS and was surprised to find that I knew most of the lyrics, or the rhythms at least. What a great contrast of vocal tones him and Q-Tip had.

Sort-of on topic, there's a really good J Dilla Primer in the latest WIRE, as well as a fantastic review of The Life of Pablo by Simon Reynolds. (And a column by third-rate Reynolds knock-off yours truly, too.)

His tone was amazing. Interplay with Q-tip was uniquely natural. Always waited for his bars in the tune.

I always felt like Q-Tip was the star of ATCQ (saying this as someone who discovered them in 1998!), but I think I just preferred his voice. But of course they were both #bettertogether...

Domo Genesis feat. Zzz Kalifah, Juicy J and Tyler - GO (Gas)

Like the beat on this, guessing it's Tyler? Always used to enjoy his beats but not listened to any OF in a while.

Heard a bit of the ASAP Ferg album. Ferg is trash but the beats are good. He's really lucked out being mates with ASAP Rocky, who really lucked out being mates with ASAP Yams.
