Yo! Microphone check 1,2 what is this? The 5 foot assassin with the ruffneck business! A Tribe Called Quest's "The Low End Theory" may start with Excursions, but the album, and PHIFE, make their arrival on Buggin' Out. Right from the first licks of the upright bass we knew something special was coming. And Phife smashed us on the snare to let us know. In retrospect we all realize what a stepping out it was for our guy. He was us. The sports, the gear, bragging on chicks... Phife was every man. His loss was tough on me. I worked with Phife in small capacities since about '99 but my good friend @djrastaroot lost much more than all of us. Roots was Phife's manager, but more importantly his close friend. Roots really looked out for dude. When I saw the first sliver of Phife's passing hit Twitter, I didn't want to hit Roots cuz the pain was too much. We had just been txting about Phife's new music not even 2 days before. To honor Phife's legacy I knew I was gonna make this piece, but to honor their friendship I knew I was going to give it to Roots. Phife, we love and miss you. Roots, thank you for being a good friend to me, Malik, and anyone that crosses your path. On my next ATL trip I will hand deliver. Rest in Power Phife Dog! #atcq #MuttyRanks **** This is my 5th #Lego album cover piece. 2304 pieces, 3 colors. I also signed and framed the back of it.
