alt obits guy 2,352 Posted January 22 Spanish language blog reporting the death of B.G. The Prince of Rap at age 57. Wikipedia has him as deceased, but no other source as yet.

Only ever released one album, on what appears to be his own label, back in 2006. Presumably he was getting enough RIPs on social media for the Sun to pay attention.

TQR 7,618 Posted February 12 A great shame. Always had a soft spot for De La Soul. Three Feet High And Rising is an odd experience but undeniably iconic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 8,538 Posted February 13 Sad, but I have to confess to looking them up recently and being surprised that all three were still alive. 80s groups of fat rappers/R&B singers tend to have at least one member missing e.g. Sugarhill Gang and LeVert. Posdnuos is the only member of De La Soul who looks like he took care of himself. I'd expect him to live to a decent age. Maseo is still on the heavy side.

Was going over this in my head: how many actual rap groups (three members minimum) who released music in the 80s still have all members alive? The only one I could come up with was Compton's Most Wanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
