ONE OF THE most unique tributes to A Tribe Called Quest’s Phife Dawg, whose death was confirmed yesterday, came from something of an unusual source: a series of live traffic updates.

Reporter Mark Arum from Atlanta broadcaster WSB-TV impressively managed to sneak lines from the band’s songs into his summary of the day’s traffic.

“Are you on point, Mark?”

We’re on point, Fred. Absolutely.
