Sad indeed. How advocates of peace can be victims of violence. Hip-Hop lost a real spokeperson today, way more so than when 2-pac or biggie were slain, for they exlempified the dark side of rap that fuels the naysayers and their stereotypes.

Jay, and Run DMC always stood for upliftment and celebration in their music. Thats what I'll remember Jay by, as well as breakdancing in sixth-seventh grade to the groovy beats and smoothy-smooth rhymes. I wouldnt have the love of hip-hop I have today if it weren't for thier music.

Damn, it's like losing a hero

*hangs head down low*
