Muhammad Ali Dead At 74 — See The Hip Hop Community’s Reactions

    World heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali has passed away. He was 74.

    Yesterday (June 3),  Ali was said to be in grave condition at a Phoenix-area hospital. On Thursday (June 2), it was reported that the boxing great had been hospitalized for respiratory issues and was said to have been in fair condition.

    The family spokesman, Bob Gunnell, says that his hospitalization was expected to be a short one.

    NBC News reported him to be in grave condition, as family members began to gather at his hospital bed.

    Yesterday afternoon, Laila Ali thanked fans for the love and support in a special message on Facebook after her father was hospitalized.

    “Thank for all the love and well wishes. I feel your love and appreciate it,” she says.

    The boxing legend, born Cassius Clay Jr., had been battling Parkinson’s disease after being diagnosed with the debilitating illness in 1984. Parkinson’s can lead to complications and affect the breathing of patients, according to experts.

    A funeral service is planned in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

    “I Ain’t Got No Quarrel With Those Viet Cong”

    Ali‘s existence went far beyond the title of legendary boxer. He was a civil rights activist and famously anti-war too. In 1967, he publicly refused to draft to the U.S. Army, becoming a conscientious objector to the war in Vietnam. His defiance and religious beliefs as a Muslim saw him stripped of his boxing titles in 1967.

    Ali was quoted as saying, “War is against the teachings of the Holy Qur’an. I’m not trying to dodge the draft. We are not supposed to take part in no wars unless declared by Allah or The Messenger. We don’t take part in Christian wars or wars of any unbelievers,” and more famously, “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong, no Viet Cong ever called me Nigger.”

    Ali’s 1967 conviction reversed in an appeal by the Untied States Supreme Court Justice case, Clay v. United States.

    Will Smith as Ali

    Ali’s philanthropic, God-fearing athleticism played out in the newsroom just as well as it did on the silver screen when Will Smith played him in the Academy Award-nominated film Ali in 2001.

    The Michael Mann-directed biopic visualizes Ali’s life as Will Smith recreates moments in the boxer’s life from his match with Sonny Liston to his criticism of the Vietnam war to Rumble in the Jungle.

    “He is a perfect actor,” Muhammad Ali said of Will Smith playing him. “I even thought he was me.”

    The Greatest

    At age 22, Ali was set to knock Sonny Liston off his ranking as the underdog and brashly buzzed, “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” It was before this bout in which he recited his “I am the Greatest” poem displaying a kind of infectious confidence among his followers and Black Americans alike.

    “This is the legend of Cassius Clay, The most beautiful fighter in the world today.”

    Several notable figures within Hip Hop such as The Game, Lil Kim, and Erykah Badu and Future among others in the entertainment world have expressed their grievances for the great loss of Muhammad Ali.

    3. Legendary but don’t care too much for dude ass. Malcolm X changed this fool’s beliefs from whatever to a Muslim. Then when Malcolm X tried to warn him about the particular group of Muslims they were running with( Elijah Mohammed’s group, and the same group that ultimately murdered Malcolm X) Ali expressed sorrow, guilt and sadness about turning his back on Malcolm X. Then EVENTUALLY after Malcolm X’s death, Ali joined the same fraction of the Muslim group as Malcolm X did(Sunni Islam). Ali even said himself his biggest regret was turning his back and not listening to Malcolm X. Ali wasn’t loyal 1 bit so idc too much for dude.

      1. Ali was just very headstrong and stubborn. Those were some of the traits that made him what he was. Rip.

    4. Don’t count the days make the days count…. Muhammad Ali.. Rest In Power to one of the pioneers of Hiphop an just an awesome person who loved his people an was a warrior for peace…Be Healthy y’all

    5. RIP to the greatest… Time for ?uestlove to write an article about how Ali was hip hop…

    6. Rest in Peace to Louisville’s finest! Cassius Clay: “His momma named him Clay, I’ma call him Clay.” Such a classic line from Coming to America. “I’m pretty, I’m so pretty.” Not only a great boxer but an inspirational man as well. This man had such discipline, something kids know nothing about these days.

There’s something about 6 I hate so much. 197″6″-Florence Ballard of Supremes dies after Motown ganked her. 198″6″-Crack blows up and the hood wasn’t the same since. 199″6″- TUPAC DIES. 200″6″- JAY-Z returns to the game with a questionable album and in 201″6″- HIP HOP is in a toxic state and we lost 6 legends in 6 months. WHAT’S NEXT ?!?! I HATE THE FUCKING NUMBER 6!!!!!
