RIP ECSTASY from Whodini

[tuckgod]

We've posted a lot of stuff about Whodini but not too much about Ecstasy specifically. He had a great voice and flow. It was like a radio disc jockey voice that was so distinctive.

He was kinda copying Mel but his shyt was still dope as hell.

One of my first favorite rappers after Slick Rick.

Album was slept on...had bangers.

I feel some way about this. I was singing “Freaks Come Out At Night” before I knew
what a freak was. Imma lose some people here, but Whodini is literally the other side of
the coin with Run-DMC as far as influence on the Rap Game.

I prefer them to Run DMC and their productions was light years ahead to me

still bangs by todays standards

had the funk and the 808's as a hip hop act from the east before sampling got heavy. fire...

Funky Beat might have been the first rap video with (non rapper)celeb cameos.
MJW, Donnie Simpson, quick Bobby Brown cameo

This man was my favorite MC of the early 80s. My borough’s own.

I wish he had most of the flowers now thrown at him after his passing during his lifetime because he was a top 5 MC of his era.

this one hurts.

Man this one hurts

I have to assume Flex/Red Alert/Chuck Chillout will do a tribute tonight on their Christmas Eve Show.

There is no year as bad as this and ima oldhead.

This stings. Any word on Biz?

Same here. None.

On a lazy night I’ll still watch a few minutes of that show. Looks EXACTLY the same. I hope Ralph gets someone to archive his shows for Christmas

He just ended the archive process.
