Legendary Queens Hip-Hop group A Tribe Called Quest has been forced to cancel a headlining appearance at today’s SanDisk Rock The Bells Festival at Fiddler’s Green, in Denver, Colorado.

 

The group canceled the appearance because founding group member Phife Dawg is suffering from complications due to diabetes.

 

“We are really disappointed we can’t perform at Rock the Bells in Denver. We are sure you understand our main concern now is getting Phife back to good health,” the group told AllHipHop.com in a statement.

 

Black Star featuring Mos Def and Talib Kweli has been added to the lineup to replace A Tribe Called Quest, as Phife recovers.

 

"We are very disappointed that A Tribe Called Quest will be unable to perform in Denver. We are glad that Phife Dawg is feeling better and wish him the best for a speedy recovery,” added Chang Weisberg of Guerilla Union. “Our fans know that we are committed to make Hip-Hop history at every show. With that said, Talib Kweli has agreed to make the trip all the way from Zurich Switzerland to join Mos Def for a very rare and legendary Black Star performance."

 

According to organizers for Rock The Bells, A Tribe Called Quest is still scheduled to perform at The Gorge in George, Washington on September 6.

ALL HOPE IS ALMOST GONE...IT'S GOING TO BE HARD FOR OUR DREAMS OF FINALLY HAVING A MINORITY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAT SINCE OBAMA HAS ANNOUNCED Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate. OBAMA's first step to gain ground against MCCAIN is confusing but I hope it was the right decision. I was personally hoping he would have pick Hillary Clinton. I will not be surprised if Hillary Clinton end up back in the election just to take votes from Mccain. That's the only way I can see OBAMA winning.

Yo, microphone check one two what is this
The five foot assassin with the ruffneck business
I float like gravity, never had a cavity
Got more rhymes than the waltons got family
No need to sweat Arsenio to gain some type of fame
No shame in my game cause I'll always be the same
Styles upon styles upon styles is what I have
You wanna diss the Phifer but you still don't know the half
I sport New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path
Messin round with this you catch a size 8 up ya ass
I never half step cause I'm not a half stepper
Drink a lot of soda so they call me Dr. Pepper
Refuse to com-pete with BS competition
Your name ain't Special Ed so won't you Seckle With the Mission
I never walk the streets, think it's all about me
Even though deep in my heart, it really could be
I just try my best to like go all out
Some might even say yo shorty black you're buggin' out

Get well Phife-dawg
