My all time favorite bars from him “sick of half azz award shows/ sick of name brand clothes”

54 is too young, come on.

Wish everyone could have medical coverage and get checked regularly.

54? RIP

The Grind Date was on constant rotation for me not even that long ago

My two favorite groups as a kid, Tribe and De La, both had members die too soon.

I still remember seeing Me, Myself, and I for the first time on Video Music Box as a kid and instantly being a fan. That Native Tongues movement was so strong. Hip Hop needs a collective like that today to balance all of the negativity.

RIP Trugoy

I just woke up and saw the devastating news of Trugoy's passing. It seems like we were just in The Booth celebrating De La reuniting with Prince Paul for their new album, and now Plug 2 has passed. This one hurts, for real.
My condolences to Dave's friends & family.
De La is still the illest.

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

Man De La was dope was as fukk live, straight destroyed the spit kickers tour

 

[The Pledge]

If you're over 35-40, try taking care of yourselves brehs, nothing is promised but demise

Facts. Heart disease ain’t no joke. Gotta be extra mindful because you won’t feel pain until it’s too late

RIP...De La were rappers who did conscious right...They had something to say but understood the music was the most important part and they were relatable

Saturday is one of them feel good tracks you can play for and around anybody and Stakes Is High is exactly what it sounds like...a last attempt to save what they felt was something being lost.

RIP Tru...a legendary part of a legendary group
