Jarobi White, co-founder of A Tribe Called Quest says the grind of traveling and recording their final album is what led to Phife Dawg’s death..

Everybody wrote his stuff in front of everybody. The chef could see Jarobi’s thoughts play out on his face: Oh, shit, I need a bucket! I literally feel the energy from him when I hear his voice.”According to Phife’s wife, Deisha Taylor, Phife wasn’t living in any pain and “was in a really, really, really good place.”The time spent creating and recording around each other also allowed for Q-Tip and Phife to hash out their personal differences that had built up over the last almost 20 years. “If you wrote your rhyme somewhere else, you still had to come back and lay your verse in Q-Tip’s house,” Busta says in the piece.
