Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted November 12, 2020 Trying to think, the last "name" rapper I can remember dying in a non-gun-related accident was when Shawty Lo's Audi hit a tree. His coffin was briefly held in state at his favourite strip club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 24, 2020 Damn. I saw these guys on the Def Jam I tour (Run DmC, Whodini, LL Cool J). The punk community loved ‘Freaks Come Out at Night’ it was a crossover anthem that’s for sure. John “Ecstasy” Fletcher, member of the early, influential hip-hop group Whodini, has died at the age of 56, People reports. A cause of death has yet to be revealed. Based out of Brooklyn, Whodini recorded six studio albums in total, producing 14 charting singles including “One Love,” “Friends,” “Five Minutes of Funk,” “Freaks Come Out at Night,” “The Haunted House of Rock,” and more, with crossover hit “Friends” cracking the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984.
