Very Sad RIP MCA!

Just read that on BBC news, gutted. Aside from his music, the videos he directed were always great too, a real shame. RIP.

Sad to hear this, I thought he was beating it. 47 is no age either

[havoc]

Just heard about this - echo the comments above, far too young.

At least he had some fun along the way though...some consolation, I guess...

Rip Adam, what a sad day

Grew up on your early music and the In Sound from way out is one of THE best instrumental albums of all time. Proper talented musician you were.

In respect to Cochese.

Very sad news indeed, pioneers of hip hop for sure. Been on youtube watching video since i found out. Found this superb beastie video i've never seen before, its the best live performance of them i've seen.

Very sad to hear it, not often I do the RIP bandwagon thing, but RIP chap - huge talent and basically kicked out the soundtrack to my teenage years.

Cancer really is a motherfker. I was under the impression he'd beaten it for some reason.

st that's terrible news. A sad loss. I was listening to Sure Shot in the car only an hour ago. Sooo many great tunes.

Just bought Ill Communication, lost my copy years ago. One of the albums I grew up with. Looking forward to hearing it again. Shame I came to remember it this way.
