The Gift of Gab dead at 50
Рет қаралды 1,004
3 жыл бұрынThe Gift of Gab passed away on June 18, 2021 at the age of 50 years old. The Blackalicious co-founder was most-notably known for not only his Blackalicious projects, but also his Alphabet Aerobics song.
Edit: What's that thing when your mind thinks one thing but says another? "Nia" was released in 1999 not 1991.

ABOUT: Bringing Down The Band is a hip hop and music media lifestyle brand. We shared over 12,000 blog posts of music between 2009-2018, but because few consume music that way anymore, we now upload full-length album streams and songs/videos to our KZfaq channel. This allows us to continually build a strong musical foundation and community while also helping the artists you love monetize their work. You can support by subscribing and turning on notifications.

I've always loved Quannum records but I hadn't been keeping up with their lives outside music and I wanted to see what was going on with him and found out he passed away!! I met Gift of Gab in 2004 after his show and he was one of the nicest guys I ever met!! RIP to one of the greatest lyricist ever!! He should of been way bigger but since he didn't spit about hoes, foreign cars, drugs and murder he kept it real with honest true hip-hop!!

Kidney failure was in 2014

"About seven weeks ago I went into kidney failure. I hadn't eaten in days, checked in to a hospital, and was diagnosed. I started dialysis five weeks ago. If I can leave you with a message to take away from this, it's to take care of yourself and do not take your health for granted. We think we're invincible but we're all human and our actions catch up to us." - Released in an article in March of 2012.
