RIP!! It was a pleasure meeting him backstage and prep! A lot of history there with him.
I feel you, but it's a hard sell.
Most veteran musicians still belong to a union because they can still make money off their craft long after their heyday. They work as session players, touring artists, tutors, etc.
Being an MC doesn't give you those kinds of options. Either you use your star power to sell tickets and albums, or you don't make shit. It's the reason why most retire well before age 30.
Now you want to tell younger rappers that they need to pay monthly dues to support a 40-year-old who hasn't even touched a microphone in over 5 years?
Just curious though, if such a union did exist what would be the criteria for joining? And what would be the criteria for getting a check?
Rest in Peace, Brother. Thanks for the music.
RIP
RIP
Na he moved with the times and it was still dope. He just wasn’t gonna be a mainstream artist.
there was a lot of rappers back then In that pocket. King Sun, redhead kingpin to name a few
Damn RIP our brother
RIP
I don't believe so... His brother was his DJ "KC."
Biz was one of his producers, but I remember he said that Biz "took credit" for producing the first album; but Biz didn't really produce shit.
damnit R.I.p....never seen so many people die in they sleep..brah
Nah they weren’t related by blood. They were cold chillin family. IU was brought in by Fly Ty
When's that museum supposed to be done? I'll meet you there cuzzo.R.I.P to IU too.
June 2024. Building is done, but it is taking them time to gather all the artifacts.
RIP
Cool. Can't wait for it.
His connection with Biz made me go buy his debut album back then, and I was not disappointed.
Granddaddy IU was pure hiphop and very, very smooth! Did it all in his time from rap to production,
including producing & writing one of the most ferocious diss records of all time "big mama" by Roxanne Shante.
Peaceful Journey IU, your hiphop will live on forever.
