The death of Stack Bundles hit the Hip-Hop community. A few rappers spoke on what Stack‘s death means to them after his funeral. Here is what some had to say.
“Definitely a lot of supporters out there,” Joe Budden told MTV after the funeral. “He was a great guy — great personality, very humble, just a character in his own right. He was very intelligent; book smart and street smart. It’s a shame he’s gone at such an early age. I’m sure God called him for a reason.”
“I made it my business to go out there and show him respect…A lot of people came out to show him respect. It was sad, though. I can’t even lie: I was disappointed. I just feel bad. It could have been anybody [who was killed] — me, anybody. The fact that he never got the point he was striving to get to was a dream deferred. Damn.”
“The Stack Bundles that I knew, I’m 80 percent sure is different than the Stack anyone else knew besides maybe his family,” Budden said. “The Stack I knew is very much like myself; he was open-minded and eager to learn. … Everyone knows about his potential and talent and [swagger], but when I think of Stack and myself’s relationship, I think of two young n—as from the urban area that would do any and everything to get out and take all of their people with them. The difference is, I’m old enough to differentiate when to [be in] the ‘hood and when not to do it. I don’t think Stack was old enough to make those same decisions.”
Others also shared their thoughts. Lupe Fiasco was also there to show support.
“It’s sad…Product of the environment. But you know, honor him. Honor him always. Rest in peace, Stack Bundles.”
