Inspired by the late great J Dilla (whose six year anniversary of his passing is today) this is my R.I.P. RAP special (trademark :) in which I will play music by some (not all) of the hip-hop/rap artists who have passed on. Feel free to post here in comments your requests and shout outs to those who have passed on. I will post the date each artist died plus how they died in the comments section of playlist - OK? thanks for listening!
  Fri. 2/10/12 6:35pm Eons One:

What up Billy! Showed up early. I'll just work on this 40 in the corner for a bit.
  Fri. 2/10/12 6:38pm Eons One:

Guru's passing is still something I have yet to come to terms with. No matter how far hip hop has strayed from it's roots over the years, the fact that a new Gang Starr album was always possible gave me something to look forward too. R.I.Power G.U.R.U.
Avatar Fri. 2/10/12 6:44pm Billy Jam:

@ Eons One - I hear ya man and U know I will be playing some Gang Starr today. Hey got your CD and 7" - THANKS
  Fri. 2/10/12 6:57pm Eons One:

No problem man. Enjoy!
  Fri. 2/10/12 7:02pm Tall Paul:

Yo Bill, so many talented brothers and Sisters have passed on. I think one of the ones which shook the whole Irish community was the passing of Daniel"Lunitic" McDonnell. Can't forget Derek B from the UK or Eyedea. Or one of the soul brothers taken from the UK Lynden David Hall

Yo billy do you think you could speak on that Charizma track a bit? Definitely a forgotten classic
Avatar Fri. 2/10/12 7:19pm Billy Jam:

tragedy of this is the THE MAC who was from Vallejo and on Young Black Brotha Records - was MAC DRE's inspiration and then Mac Dre was killed shot too

I hope I'm not coming across as morbid, but I find it interesting to learn about these guys who have died.

Well done, Billy, peace from the Yay! This almost seems to me like an R.I.P. for quality, skilled hip-hop... Thanks for it...

  Fri. 2/10/12 7:44pm other david:

great tracks, hearing so many for the first time, cant enjoy them fully when I know they're gone.

Thanks for sharing Billy, this is a particularly brilliant show.
  Fri. 2/10/12 7:46pm Caryn:

Great show, though sad. Lots of favourites being played. But in the Heavy D comments, the "but" makes no sense. A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the lungs.
  Fri. 2/10/12 7:46pm jw:

agreed, this show is inspired.
  Fri. 2/10/12 7:46pm nevermindwho:

I almost can't take this. My dad died last week. R.I.P. indeed. This is all so sad, and so beautiful. I can't not listen. But damn it's hard. My heart for all who feel the loss for all we lost too early.
  Fri. 2/10/12 7:47pm Marmalade Kitty:

Beautiful tribute, BillyJ..!

deep set Billy, cheers , anyone who didnt feel the 2Pac track better listen again.
  Fri. 2/10/12 7:47pm JayBe:

Caryn is correct

Clearly this show calls for a part two and maybe part three - so many good suggestions here THANKS GUYS - that I could not fit - if not mentioned deserving of mention shout outs include
Plan B (DREAM's potna), Scott La Rock (1987, shot), Nate Dogg (died last year at age 41 of complications from multiple strokes - go to Marty McSorley arhcives), MC Rock (Almighty RSO
Eyedea (2010, ruled an accident, from opiate toxicity),Big Pun (2012 heart attack), Seagram (1996 shot), Rappin Ron (1997 car), Big Kwanz (Bored Stiff), DJ Solomon (car crash 2012),

RIP Tony D, one of the greatest producers in hip-hop.
  Fri. 2/10/12 7:58pm Bla:

Thanks for another great show, Billy! Some of my favorite all-time WFMU shows have been tributes to the departed. Noah & Mr. C on James Brown, Noah on Gil Scott-Heron, Laura Cantrell did a lot too. For a younger listener like me, whose parents both died young, I really appreciate the perspective on a few levels.
  Fri. 2/10/12 7:59pm Marmalade Kitty:

all far too young! RIP
