I actually just called a friend who is probably the biggest B Boys fan I know and left her a message saying I'm thinking of her which sounds so weird and lame but I know she's going to be devastated.
So so sad.

I missed the story from last month that he wouldn't be able to attend the RRHOF induction, which I guess would've at least been a strong indicator that something like this was around the corner. As it is, though, I feel like I've been slapped with a flounder.

Genuinely horrible, and like everyone I know on facebook/twitter is just overflowing with earnest grief. This is the most unexpected and tragic music death news in a long time. Gutted.

As I just muttered on FB: Sudden realization of a moment I'd almost forgotten -- I had seen the Beastie Boys once live, Lollapalooza 1994. Person I was with said I was dancing like a crazy idiot during "Sabotage" in particular. And you know what? All good with that, because MCA murdered that bassline and then some. So RIP indeed.
