Heard a good story today by my brother JAHI @HipHopEducate about the late MALIK B of @theroots As he was spotted eating in DC restaurant yrs ago . JAHI recognizes him . MALIK is stunned about it. They talked for awhile. He felt appreciated. This is what we do at @Rapstation365

You can't overstate the importance of what Malik, Tariq, and Ahmir did for the Philly hip-hop scene in the 90's and beyond. They set the bar and blazed the trail for all of us who came after. The inspiration they provided to us can't be contained in a tweet. Rest in peace, Malik. pic.twitter.com/8vDsrb6PM4
