?uestlove Pays Homage To Don Cornelius
Wednesday, February 01 2012 2:07 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True StorySince Don Cornelius’ passing this morning, loads of rappers have expressed their condolences via Twitter and Facebook. But no other figure in hip-hop has a more personal connection than ?uestlove. On OKP, Mr. Thompson paid homage to Soul Train‘s conductor.
Don Cornelius was my first non musical non celeb non blood related hero.
its amazing timing that my arrival on earth and his greatest creative manifestation came within 9 months of each other. both symbolizing a new hope for urban America. most won’t get it til now (especially now that he’s gone) but i pray that Don knew of the appreciation he had in all of us born after 1968.
you people will have to forgive me…im just kinda writing from the heart….sporadic thoughts tears and snot are spilling out and whatnot. im certain dream and toure and nelson will do his legacy justice in print….i just felt the need to write something.

Hey lil' red riding hood. What's goin' on in that pretty lil' bi-polar brain of yours? A few days have passed but the damage was still done. Your Grammy antics were a big eye jammie on hip-hop culture. Sauntering by the red carpet velvet ropes with a fake Pope? An exorcism live on stage? Holy Ghost, what a horrific performance. Is anything sacred? We hated it. You can keep retweeting strictly positive @replies all you want but, truth be told, very few of your fans are checking for your character. Tuck your alter ego in. We must kill Roman! The Barbies don't want it nor do the streets. Shit, it's been downhill ever since Onika said she was a star. "Moscow" blows. "Stupid Hoe" sucks. And I guess your latest "Starships" will get you some Top 40 love like "Super Bass", but what a waste. I get it, you're more focused on becoming a pop icon like Madonna than a female G Rap in his prime. But boy do we miss the girl who murdered The Throne on that "Monster" tune. Hey, I'm all for evolution. But no more audio pollution. I hope your Hit-Boy joint knocks.
Lin is a winner. Just like you. Put a sock in it, Champ. Our Asian is amazing. #Knicks
whyd he kill himself?
RIP But damn it’s hard to believe duke killed himself, but then again you never know with these things

You can’t feel sorry for someone who killed themself, very selfish way to die.
@Riddler and its very childish to judge someone on their death day when you’ve never spoken a word to dude.
RIP for actually contributing significantly to society unlike us forum posters
