Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 9, 2018 I love how like seemingly 50% of the people we post--especially in the music category--are 'legends' or 'pioneers'. Lovebug Starski...... seriously? Pretty sure I know the actual pioneers of rap and hip hop, and pretty sure I'd have remembered someone called Lovebug. Those two paths have never crossed. Billboard, knock it off with the fucking embellishments. That goes for all obit writers everywhere. The fact is precious few of us humans are noteworthy at all, and in fact most of us pesky humans who DO accomplish something still go relatively unnoticed until our obit is published (I suspect having an interest in learning post hoc of these unsung heroes is why most of us enjoy this hobby). As for legends and pioneers, fuck off. Lovebug fucking Starski.....musta partnered with legend Lovebug Hutch. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted February 9, 2018 Yeah, if only he'd been namechecked in, what, one of the ten most famous rap songs ever or something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,028 Posted February 9, 2018 Possibly coined the term hip-hop and had a top twenty single in the UK. Famous enough for me... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Hatter2 85 Posted March 2, 2018 Seeing as he is massively overweight,leads a very unhealthy lifestyle and is 40+ I would place my bets on a heart attack. The man is a walking heart attack if ever there was one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted March 2, 2018 So if its a heart attack MK, and he collapses forward........ Would this qualify him as being Rick Rolled? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCAlum2000 42 Posted March 3, 2018 While I don't think Rick Ross is gonna make it, quite a few celebrities had very close brushes with death but survived. Bret Michaels Lamar Odom Lil Wayne Kevin Smith So it's possible Rick Ross will pull through. Doubt it though. dude's a goner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
