I just heard Rapper's Delight not too long ago.

He will be missed.

He was the C-A-S-AN, the O-V-A, and the rest was F-L-Y
You see he went by the code of the doctor of the mix and these reasons he told you why
He was 6'1'' and tons of fun when he dressed to a T
You see he had more clothes than Mohammed Ali and he dressed so viciously
He had bodyguards, he had two big cars that definitely weren't the whack
He had a Lincoln Continental and a Sunroof Cadillac
So after school, he took a dip in the pool which was really on the wall
He had a color TV so he could see the Knicks play basketball
You heard him talking about check books, credit cards, mo' money than a sucker could ever spend
But he never gave a sucker or a bum from the rucker not a dime till he made it again
He went "Hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today
cause imma get a fly girl, gonna get some spank, and drive off in a def OJ
Everybody go hotel, motel, holiday inn
Say if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend"

i wish i had the time to type the whole thing
its a great song

who would have thought a pizza guy would change the rap industry forever
he was a trailblazer

Apache was a pretty good song too

well miss you hank
youre rapping in heaven now
 
At least we have solace in the fact that he's everywhere :(

RIP
 
hes with sylvia robinson now
