He had a prominent appearance in the documentary Scratch (my favorite movie) which is freely available to watch on YouTube. If anyone has an hour and a half to spare and is interested I recommend the movie, it's really fantastic. [b]Scratch[/b] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGrchxm_BBU[/media] RIP, hero :(
Wow, THE Grandmaster Roc Raida. That's crazy. He's a legend.
oh no :(
Absolutely horrible. Imagine to live on a few days after being released then suddenly get worse and die like this. My condolences to the friends and family. :(
I just watched all of Scratch. Incredible movie.
Aw fuck, that sucks. X-Ecutioners are really good too. My brother's a DJ, I wonder how he'll take it.
He was so fucking awesome. He will be greatly missed.
