Only a few of you will know who I'm talking about, but I don't really give a damn. If you care enough to want background info, google search him and give some of his music a look.

So after a long battle with cancer, one of the greatest MCs ever passed away today. What's saddening about this is that he and Premier couldn't even work their differences out with each other even in death. If you read his farewell letter, he pretty much gives Premier the middle finger and tells him to stay out of his tributes and shit. This and the fact that as yet another good MC dies, many more shitty autotune junkies prosper. Fuck the mainstream.

Keith, you will be missed.

I hope you win, that would be amazing I might even get the game if you do, even though I'm not very keen on basket ball.
I'd be like " Yeah **** you guys I have a friend who's an actual hiphop artist" It would be sweet.

Hey, your automatically better than all commercial artists and I would even say your better than some underground. Once you get experience under your belt "and a decent recording studio" You'll be the shit.
Just don't abandon stick page yo.

Who's that banging at my door?
As long as I won't have to pirate your cd when it comes out, because that would be pretty gay.

it's probably gonna be a free mixtape when i'm all done. i'm more concerned with getting people to listen to it first rather than make money off of it. the money will come from performances
