RIP. I'm still in shock! Woke up and heard the news. Ruined my day...sending condolences to his family.

R.I.P. to a very talented rapper; a wonderful complement to Q-Tip.

Jazz and Buggin' Out are great examples of his flow and style-upon-styles.

Also:



It's a pity The Love Movement was so disappointing, but as rap groups go, 8 years together is on the longer side of things.

I actually really enjoy that album. Production picked up on the lesser chemistry between them I think.

A great bastion of socially conscious rap/hip hop.
