Phife Dawg died on Wednesday. It was horrible news to wake up to for a lot of people; A Tribe Called Quest isn't just one of the most important acts in the history of hip-hop — they were one of the best. Now, that's past tense.
The hope was always that the three of them would eventually figure stuff out enough to record more, and that Phife would be healthy enough to be a part of it. The closest anyone got was the 2011 documentary "Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest," some festival dates and a Jimmy Fallon appearance.
