Phife Dawg - Pease Porridge '09
Artist: Phife Dawg
Producer: DJ Rasta Root
Album: Mick Boogie, Terry Urban, Lemar & Dauley Present: Le Da Soul
Label: Unsigned
For those of us who grew up in the ‘80s A Tribe Called Quest is unarguably one of the best groups in hip-hop history, and while Q-Tip may get the majority of the attention, true Tribe fans know that Phife Dawg was just as responsible for the group’s dopeness. So you can only imagine my excitement when I saw the new Phife joint Pease Porridge ‘09 in my inbox this morning. A tribute/remix to another seminal crew De La Soul, Pease Porridge ’09 puts a new spin on De La’s old school classic, with DJ Rasta Root revamping the original production with some fresh boardwork and Phife paying fittingly lyrical homage, at one point even switching his flow into heavily accented lines on the second verse. I know my old school heads just had an orgasm reading this. You’re welcome. Pease Porridge ‘09 is off the tribute mixtape Mick Boogie, Terry Urban and Lemar & Dauley Present: Le Da Soul, out today.

Man, do I miss Tribe and De La. My old Walkman got so much burn from Phife. Huge kudos to Mick Boogie for always being apart of these great projects!

You gotta love that production, and phife's flow alone gives it that "De La" soul.

I almost wet myself just reading about this track, and the result is almost as good as I could have hoped for. Jallday called it - not a new classic, but still damn entertaining.
Great Walkman call @DJZ. I remember saving up for one when I was a kid, finally buying it was one of the highlights of my young life. Ah, memories.

The beat itself is really good, though, those stuttering bars always get you! Enjoyed it. Rotation fa sho!
Good to hear Phife Dawg, his playful verses have always acted as a perfect counterpoint to Kamaal's abstract rhymes. |

I can always chill with this type of soul flavor. The production is so smooth on the ears and the lyrics are solid. I can spin it
