I’m extremely sad right now! I just caught wind that rapper Heavy D passed away. Heavy D is a staple in the hip hop community and in my life. May he rest in peace.

 

R.I.P. to the Godfather of Hip Hop Gil Scott Heron

28 May

OMG! what a day I had yesterday what turned out to be a beauty day turned into a total disaster! After my breakdown, I decided to take a nap and I awoke to the sad news of one of the legendary poet and Godfather of hip-hop Gil Scott Heron had passed. I remember being a little girl my mom used to play his records and I was always interested in the meaning in his songs. That was pretty much my first lesson in American History. May the Godfather rest in peace!

R.I.P. Guru

24 Apr

I know I’m mad late with my tribute but his death really upsetted me this week :( Gangstarr is one of my favorite Hip-Hop groups and I’m definitely sadden me to hear of Guru’s passing. He was the first person to merge my two favorite genres of music(hip-hop and jazz) and he was mothafuckin’ King of the Underground!!! I know that he is resting easy up in heaven and his legacy will live on!!!
