RIP a real one. I wonder if dudes like Spoon (who aren't necessarily mentioned w/ the Chapelles, Murphys, Martin's, etc.) truly knew how many lives he touched?


I hope so, because he was a legend to us in the black community. He made generations of black ppl laugh (especially younger ones), and held a sentimental place in hearts for his role portrayals. No easy feat. I didn't know too many Cosbys growing up...but everybody in my circle had a black elder figure, like "Pops" in their family (a dad, an uncle, a grandfather).

He was an embodiment of the black experience in the U.S. (at least the one I know) for younger ppl growin up. The world is truly, a less funnier place w/ out him. He'll be missed. Salute....
