I agree. R.I.P. but celebrities their lives def don’t matter more than ‘random’ ppl’s. And for everybody on that ”gone too soon” shit. You NEVER die before your time.
I am crushed to find out about DJ ROC RAIDER passing today, but I feel blessed to have seen him at the DMC held at Webster Hall in NYC back in 95. The best beat juggler that ever lived! Can you imagine Roc and Dilla bangn beats and scratches for GOD! RIP Grandmaster Roc Raider!
R.I.P.
Christ. I remember watching their old video, “how to scratch” and was hooked on the tables since. RIP
smh @ fulltimeboss for getting his feelings hurt over my comment. Go lick your mom’s asshole clean, dude.
R.I.P. Raida. You’ll be missed.
@notafan
Did you even read the shit before leaving a reply, Danm cuz, if you did you relly gota step back and read again
@DaSilva yea i can read? from the true rep of ROC RAIDA “previous reports of an injury during karate class or a car accident were inaccurate. ” shut it & go suck the2gayboyz
i think the cause of death is irrelevant, so take the arguing to another post
R.I.P.
You think “maybe millions” of people die everyday? Millions? Ha.

Stop arguing in such topic… RIP
