The Radio Boys (Kev Lawrence, C.Truth) had the pleasure of speaking to a much heralded member of A Tribe called Quest, Phife Dawg. Phife explained why he was absent from the scene for the past 4 years and basically needed a kidney from his wife in order to stay alive. The boisterous emcee also shared words on: his new production company Riddim Kidz, his new TV show Phife Alert, the Tribe called Quest documentary directed by Michael Rapaport-executive produced by Nas coming soon, the bond between himself and Q-Tip whom he has known since 2 years old, www.thermalsoundwaves.com for what’s to come in the future.

Late News: Lil’ Mama Is An Idiot

…and not because of the accusation you are about to read, since it could be true for all I know. This woman needs some PR training. Taken from her interview with VIBE:
Very valid point… I think the biggest style criticism was thrown at you this past MTV Movie Awards. Bunch of people thought you jacked Nicki’s haircut.
But my cut is blunt and futuristic and Nicki Minaj started wearing that bob on her head after she came to my show, so at the end of the day I know what I do and I know what I possess and I know who I am. I’m a trendsetter. The biggest form of flattery is imitation so I’m flattered. I understand the universal law. I’m not confused, I don’t feel like a follower. I started so many things that new artists are doing now anyway –my style, the way I’m aggressive on a track, the way I come through, the way my beat bangs. There are so many things that were borrowed, that I influenced that’s happening in music right, so I’m far from discouraged.

Law enforcement sources tell us … the two alleged victims — both male — told police they each paid $80 for a meet-and-greet with the rappers on their tour bus last Thursday night … but when they entered the vehicle, Bizzy flipped out.

One of the men told cops the screaming match quickly escalated … and Bizzy began throwing punches. Bizzy allegedly wailed on BOTH men until another member of the group stepped in and broke things up.

We’re told both of the fans appeared bruised after the alleged attack — and one of the men claims he suffered a broken nose.

Chicago Police confirm one of the men filed a police report against Bizzy the following day.

Cops tell us they have not spoken to Bizzy about the incident, but are actively investigating the complaint.

Calls to Bizzy’s reps have not yet been returned. S/O TMZ.com
