REST IN PEACE SAAFIR

[KFBF]

I just watched a documentary on him and casual sparking the beef/battle between heiro and hobo junction a few days ago.

RIP to a west coast underground legend.

Feels like a thread like this gets made every few days

He's been in extremely poor health for years. Shock G wrote a harrowing article about trying to get him medical help. Now they're both gone.


Shock G of Digital Underground Explains Why Saafir is Bound to a Wheelchair | Hip-Hop and Politics

That was a really tough read. Prioritize your health brehs...don't ignore pain.

Saafir comes in a little bit before the twenty minute mark, and a few more times throughout. It originally aired on PBS’s POV Series.

R.I.P. Even though his role in Menace was small it was a memorable scene. IIRC some years back he was in poor health and Shock G mentioned it. Another one gone too soon.

Rest easy again Saafir.. and Shock

Saafir explains it in his own words, it's the exact same thing I'm going thru right now.

R.I.P to Saafir

His unconventional style birthed a lot of nikkas careers

Like, I understand he didn't want to be a burden to anybody, but all them people you rhymed with, all the people in them crews you were in, only Shock stepped up to help?

I only say this because we know for a fact he was a part of several notable crews in rap.

His friends and family should have definitely put the word out
A fundraiser alone would have had rappers and fans from every coast coming through
Dude couldn't even get someone to drive him to appointments but they're writing long as R.I.P captions right now
I know Nas would have hooked him up with one of those Paid In Full packages if he knew about his situation

BOSS was sick for years too..the community didn't reach out to help

We gotta do better
