He SNATCHED Away from her holding his arm like GTF up Off of Me, FUCK THEM & THAT SAME OLD BS! edited right after he was saying something to the extent of "If Someone's talking that shit, we gotta go see....."

Even tempered but aint no punk on some REAL BS which apparently that was not/is not/never was since day one from them two 'brother' type of kats who go back to preschool. Family fighting while close friends & associates can't do much of shit but let the shit play out.
THATS The impression I got & took from it as he's seemed to move on from back when they may have 1st been doing that lil playout called the Tip&Phife show unbeknown to most of us.
Phife's Wife & Ali hold all the cards & know the depth of those lil things that hold them back.
Look how quick & relieved Ali was (which resembled the same feeling of relief Dave/TrugoyTheDove showed on camera) to find out that the 'decision' not to go on tour & finish their obligations to the label?
Even when Jarobi supported Phife's claim that it wasn't done right, u didnt see Ali beefing or even mentioning the particulars.
By how he said it, it was exactly how Tip presented it but inside it spelled RELIEF for him {"Whew!!!"}
Look what Ali said about taking that magic & energy, applying it to another group or even somewhat of a fruitful career for himself in moving on from 15-20 yrs of bickering.
Look how laid back with little to say when Maceo & tip were talking right after their lil tiff.
Look how he doesnt give a fuck if they do or dont perform together which somewhat supports why Tip said he doesnt mind not performing with Phife.
{I also think what he said on stage to Phife while he was silently struggling after dialysis was taken out of context as he was saying the words, giving 200% energy & expected, as he ALWAYS DID the MOST from his lil Man who DIDNT Tell Him How low on energy he happenned to be feeling @ the time - was he supposed to be STUDYING his man & his temperment who told him he was aiight or studying the frenzy he created with that audience @ that moment?
Y'all DID SEE How they switched up the words to the song @ the end to fit his man's current condition & state of mind right once he KNOW how it may have affected him?}
He may have given him a lil knudge but wasnt a throw under no fucking bus & neither was what he said in the interview;
Phife should fucking KNOW BETTER after all the yrs in the grimey "BUSINESS"/industry that the bitch ass reporter may have left out a word or 4 & taken the shit up out of context just to make more out of what they were receiving

like that shit doesnt happen every day for yrs esp with group dynamics.
In a sense on Beats, Rhymes & Life, Tip already transfered his passions of & for the group to other players to keeep his Tribe 'moving.' The original chemistry was shifting but the feel, focus & drive of that Tribe music still remained; I enjoyed that album for @ least that much.
Anyone who knows & remembers sees how Conseq got on a few of them tracks, bringing his hood edge sprinkled by the dynamic contributions of JDilla.
The Tribe had to keep PushingAlong.
