(AllHipHop News) Tonight (November 20th) and this Sunday (November 24th) A Tribe Called Quest are scheduled to perform for the final times in New York City for Kanye West’s Yeezus tour. The fourth, and seldomly heard member of A Tribe Called Quest, Jarobi White, spoke with Okayplayer’s The Question about what the Tribe show will look like on the Yeezus tour, what Phife Dawg meant on “The Chase Pt. 2” plus more.

The 42 year old “spirit” of A Tribe Called Quest is now a chef at the highly respected August restaurant in New York City’s West Village, but maintains that he will be apart of the final two ATCQ shows for the Yeezus tour. Jarobi also gave insight on the stage set up for Tribe’s set in comparison to the grandiose stage design Kanye implements:

We were at practice the other day and somebody was pointing out how intricate Kanye’s show is with the lighting and all of that stuff. He has the big, crazy budget so he can do all that stuff. He has a mountain, we have little hills.

A Tribe Called Quest’s classic album Midnight Marauders was released 20 years ago and Jarobi finally explained why Phife Dawg said “making love to the mic like Jarobi on the phone” on “The Chase Pt. 2”:

Before text messaging and emails were really popular I used to spend a very large amount of the time on the phone talking to girls. [Phife] used to always be like ‘yo, stop making love to them girls on the phone.’

(AllHipHop News) Charlamagne Tha God is usually a man without a filter so when he is in a Ask Me Anything session from Reddit, the unexpected should be assumed. In his latest Reddit AMA session, the always loquacious radio personality discusses who he think will never do The Breakfast Club, his opinion on Kanye West’s new “Bound 2” video and more.

Always the critical voice, Charlamagne had no problem voicing his distaste for Kanye’s recently released music video for Yeezus‘ “Bound 2” featuring a half naked Kim Kardashian:

Charlamagne also revealed that The Breakfast Club had an interview with epochal comedian Paul Mooney but it remained unaired due to Mooney’s subject matter:

we did an interview with Paul Mooney that he never aired because I respect people’s opinions but he just came off as very racist. I don’t mind you expressing your opinion but he just seemed very prejudice….

Charlamagne revealed that Busta Rhymes and Machine Gun Kelly were the only artists to ever approach him about something he said on air and repeatedly stated he believes Drake will never appear on the show but did state how he would greet the Toronto MC if he did:

I don’t think he would but the first thing I would say to him is “Good Morning Fair Lady”

(AllHipHop News) Peter Gunz’s most recognizable song, “De Ja Vu (Uptown)” with Lord Tariq resulted from a probation violation, Rikers’ Island stay and Shaquille O’Neal’s 1996 album You Can’t Stop The Reign. 

Peter Gunz appeared on Cipha Sounds’ Hip Hop improv show Take It Personal and told the story of how him working on Shaq’s third album resulted in him being sent to Rikers. According to the man formerly known as Pete Lova, after catching a gun charge(and subsequently changing his name to Peter Gunz) he had mandatory probation. What happened after a young Peter Gunz was called to work on Shaq’s album is a mixture of complicated serendipity.

The UCB improvisers turned his frequent probation visits into a hilarious sketch in the futility of fighting a probation officer’s request.

Cipha Sounds’ Take It Personal is every Friday at 9pm at 153 E 3rd St in New York City.
