RIP Grandmaster Roc Raida
One of the best to have ever did it, point blank. And one of the greatest comedians around, can’t forget Horse! Video below from Tableturns…that ninja of rap, damnnnnn and the legendary 1995 victory with the edited ending. Raida always chose dope records for his routines.
The scratches he did on classics like O.C.’s “Times Up” and sampling Ivan Drago on Pun’s “Super Lyrical” had that funk.
Look out for the Miami tribute/ fundraiser show coming soon.
