RIP, seems like De La had alot planned this year around their music hitting streaming, sad he won't be here to get his flowers

 

[Ghost Utmost]

RIP to a legend.

I have always been influenced and inspired by De La Soul and Native Tongue.

I hate seeing legends I grew up on pass away. Especially at such a young age.

Long Island birthed so many hiphop legends

RIP Trugoy

His verse on Stakes is High is one of my favs. He was legit fed up with the industry

Some of my last memories of De la are

• Them running back Rock Co.Kane Flow like 20+ times at a live show before letting the DOOM (R.I.P) verse play, Nearly 20 years ago at this point
• My dog (then pup) eating a pink de la 7" vinyl, fukking b*stard

All the Hip Hop legends are passing away at a young age.

RIP

Very fukked up he was fighting for his life while the Tommy Boy was holding up their masters. On a humanitarian level they should have given it up a lot sooner.

First rap group I seen in concert. As a young kid who loved language De La Soul was one of the best things I ever heard. Poetry. Not punks but not overly aggressive at you. Just life gems and every day people getting by

Pos was my favorite but damn if Dave wasn’t the man, too

All the bad choices I’ve made with my body make me afraid I won’t see 60. Rest in power to Trugoy, may your family have peace and your spiritual presence in absence of your physical

Jesus Christ man, just no. Rest in peace, this one hits hard. fukk. Can't believe it.
