Following the passing of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, several Hip Hop artist have expressed their condolences. Speaking exclusively with HipHopDX, RJD2, Kreayshawn and Souls of Mischief’s Tajai Massey spoke on Jobs’ impact on society and how his history is etched in stone.
“Apple directly impacted my world of music (read:career) most with the advent of really fast laptops,” said RJD2. “I use my macbook pro for so many musical things, and a variety of applications. The consumer in me appreciates the ipod, as a device, as well. Also, on the business side, I can’t imagine running a label without a mac laptop.”
“RIP Steve Jobs,” added Kreayshawn. “If it wasn’t for him me and alot of artists wouldn’t have the digital proficiency that we do today. Buying my first MacBook was a huge change in my life for me and it also helped me make sense of all the arts that I can accomplish on one piece of technology created a man named Steve Jobs.”
Tajai Massey also remembered his contributions to technology. “Because of #SteveJobs there are millions more like him. He helped create a platform for creation and made it cool, slick and easy,” he said. “My first apple was a IIgs. Then I got the first Mac. Then the first PowerBook. Then the first color PowerBook. Then a PowerPC tower. Then an iMac. Then a Power Mac Tower. Then another PowerBook. I type these words on an iPhone. I am a die-hard Mac head.”
what would we do witout da ipod r.i.p
Artists like Kreayshawn and Soulja Boy better light a candle for that motherfucker tonight because if people like him hadnt of made the internet what it is and created the capacity for summin like Youtube to exist, They would have NEVER made it the old fashion way, lol, can you imagine Either of them in a rap battle, or driving around hood to hood??
R.I.P Steve Jobs tho, aside from giving shitty rappers a chance to advance he also changed the world in more ways then I could list here, Great loss for technology

Lmfao bestheadline i everz fucking read in my life. RJD2 kreayshawn and tajai lmao wtf do they have i. Common? They should form a super group lmao
Dude, listen to some RJD2 music sometime. As for the rest, I can’t speak for, but RJD2 is a monster behind the boards and music. Do the research before sounding like a jackass! He’s worked with the likes of Eastern Conference Allstars, Vast Aire, Aesop Rock, Murs, but you wouldn’t know jack shit about underground hip hop. Plus, it’s an article of individuals paying respects to someone who made an impact in the world of technology. Without him, I’m sure we wouldn’t have the technological priviledges we have today.
And Anonymous 2 wins by KO over Straw Man!
Anon 2 is the worst parts of backpack fans (and I say that as a big backpack fan)
@Anon 3
You really can’t be that big of a backpack fan, bc I have backpack friends and they ride or die together. It’s them vs commercial shit. So you need to fall back.
…..u sound like a fucking idiot this is anon 1..i fucking love rjd2…but it just made me laugh himbein put with kreayshawn and tajai..none of the 3 have any connection why dont u trynto comprehend peoples comments better cus assuming just makes an ass outta u and me..
At Lame
Your friends must be pretty obnoxious if they would defend a person being an asshole with no provocation and going off on rants about how “mainstream” someone is for no reason. Just like I’m sure there are Conservatives embarrassed by Rick Perry and Sarah Palin, I am embarrassed by dicks like Anon 2 even if we share similar tastes in music.
Hahahahaha Fuck Steve Jobs! He only famous cause he stole everything he knows from Weezy.
You think Stevey got the idea to cut philanthropy and use sweatshops all on his own? Nah. Tunechi been having sweatshops for decades. Pays them kids with Young Money.
You think Jobby Job Jobs was commodifying coolness and selling people shiny shit they didn’t need because he’s a pioneer? Nah. The GOAT spoke the world’s greatest truths on Tha Carter II but kept slightly tweaking the message on CIII and CIV so people keep paying him for the exact same thing.
In conclusion, Weezy the greatest. Steve Jobs just some poseur that we gone forget about once Tunechi reveals his Divine Truths. Fuck an Apple ya vegetarians. Weezy Da GOAT!

Im not saying the Illuminati killed him.
Im just saying, that if a man with as much money as Steve Jobs can’t avoid death at 56 years old, something is fishy.
Like a cancer-ridden body, you fucking tool?
You’re dumb as fuck. Money doesn’t cure an aggressive cancer like pancreatic cancer. I’m going to rape you when I get the chance
Honestly though, who gives a fuck? This is like getting Ja Rule on the phone after 9/11. No one cares what you think about it!
where da fuck is ja?????????????
Agreed homie…but that’s what happens when people die, everyone over does it.
