Rest in peace

It feels like almost all of our hip hop heroes are dying so young. It's sad.

The life expectancy of the average black male is 71 and all these guys who are rich and successful are barely making it in their 50s.

I don't know what happened but it definitely makes me want to take better care of myself.

Not even the rich and successful one bruh. I’ve lost way more friends in the last 3-4 years than all the years combined it seems. Sometimes it feels like there’s a segment of Black men dying at a rate higher than their ancestors did or their racial peers now and nobody seems to care. shyt feels like an epidemic in itself. Of the more than two handful of friends, only one made it past 45 y/o.

Damn why aren't the legends making old bones??

Is it the rap lifestyle that does them in sooner? Breaks my heart man

Sad. Salutes to all his contributions. Yall see the avy, I’m a huge fan of ONP and Dungeon Fam.

What’s wild he’s the first member of DF to pass away.

Like I said in the Mister Cee thread, I’m glad we have interviews, documentaries and other ways to hear his stories in 1st person



“Rico when ima do what yall do?”

But yeah...a sad day indeed. RIP to Rico

I lost my best friend two years ago. He died in his sleep at the age of 34. It's still surreal to me.
