Phife Dawg: Aw man... Lord Kitchener... the Mighty Sparrow... Peter Tosh... Phife Dawg discusses his Caribbean Roots. I am blessed to be attending one of the most amazing law schools in the world, one that not only teaches you the law, but teaches you where the law comes from and why it matters. I have a class that discusses intellectual property and hip hop, and one of the presentations was about the influence of Caribbean culture on hip hop. This was one of the videos that was shown in that class. I grew up listening to A Tribe Called Quest, and the news of Phife Dawg's passing was heard to read and process. \"Here's a funky introduction of how nice I am, tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram...\" Malik Isaac Taylor was born on November 20, 1970. He was known as the \"Five Foot Assassin\" and \"The Five Footer\" because of his short stature. But how his it that this 5'3\" rap legend ended up in not one, but two NBA video games as a character? He was a sports junkie, and frequently 'scoped (Periscope) to share his thoughts with fans. \u00a0He had a sports talk show, and appeared on several other talk shows, like ESPN, to share his opinions on sports and rap - often combining the two. It was no secret what a proud Trini he was. In a piece on ElectronicBeats.net. Phife talks about his mom, his dad, and his Trinidadian roots."}
