I am sort of confused by your tribute, as if you have no clue who this person is and looked them up immediately upon seeing the title of the story.
Why would someone who is both “underground” and “hiphop” want to work with the antithesis of both of those things.
Why would someone with talent want to work with the talentless. Dick riding has made someone lose their mind and dribble nonsense.
RIP to a talented MC.
I SO AGREE WITH YOU ANON!! FUCK THE COMMERCIAL GARBAGE TODAY. STOP BUYING THIS CORPORATE RADIO BULLSHIT! WITH HIP HOP, IF IT AIN’T REAL, IT AIN’T RIGHT!! NUFF SAID.
AND I HAIL FROM ORLANDO, FL. I’VE BEEN HERE SINCE AUG. 1990. I HAVE SEEN ALL OF THE MAJOR HIP HOP ACTS COME THROUGH HERE. AND DAMMIT, I SAID HIP HOP, NOT RAP! DON’T GET THE SHIT TWISTED.
WE TRUE HIP – HOP HEADS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY. SUPPORT THE REAL, AND FUCK THE FAKE!! WE CONTROL WHERE THIS GOES. DON’T BUY THE BULLSHIT!!!!!!!
To be honest, this is are cause when someone’s death really stuck me. This is f***ed up. RIP IG Off. I remember seeing him and Hazadous in a documentary many years ago. it was a bitch finding their mixtapes on the internet. But man, they made some crazily overlooked dope music. RIP.
One of the unsung heroes from the underground golden age. True luminary man, rip..made some ridiculously dope track that made you love this thing we call hiphop man. Far Rock! Rip
Yeah, he was great. One of those names on a mixtape that made me buy it in the 90’s.
Damn HHDX is outdated he passed aways a few days ago y’all just saying this now because y’all waist too much time writing articles about R&B fuckers like DraKKKe/Usher/YMCMB.
