This is still one of the greatest things ever:

 

[ButterTart]

Jesus, whoever does his PR wants firing.

Jesus, whoever does his PR wants firing.

Doubt there's much left to PR ANYMORE!

 

[Ellie]

RIP and all, but I only know him because I remember him always being at the top of the US album charts, yet I'd never heard any of his songs.

 

[RJN]

I’m gonna lose my mind up in here in tribute

this album cover terrified me as a child

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Slippin' is PROPER GOOD, and I imagine will rebound in the USA over the next few days unless people are too grief stricken by Prince Phillip to stream it

It is (was) his best known SENSITIVE MOMENT I think.

Also quite into this cello cover of Ruff Ryder's Anthem

This is so sad. His whole story is sad.

Absolutely iconic though. A party was never complete until THIS came on.

 

[RJN]

It’s kind of funny now that his nickname was the prince of rap

Although my personal favorite was

Waiting for Wendy Williams to make his death all about HER.

 

[Gangsta Nancy Lam]

I just always think of Jinkx Monsoon's DMX-inspired Vanjie parody

Did he ever feature on a half-hearted guest rap verse to lend vague credibility to a female pop megastar?

That's really my only frame of reference.

He was going to do Eurovision next year

They always come in threes. What's Lulu up to today?

 

[Rhythmbarbican]

Sad. It's Dark and Hell is Hot is one of my favourite albums.

He had 15 children!

Oh that's sad. I never owned a BMX, but i had a Raleigh. Are they still alive?

[Indie]

BMX invented the potato? Well i never.

Yum.

I'll have to google image him later. I did see he was being mentioned somewhere, but mustn't have been listening. He was one of my favourite rapper torsos.

I've recently fell off the wagon with Wendy, but can't wait to catch up for this alone.
