man I hope this isn't true, Roc Raida is a genius on the tables.

I found this from September 4th, apparently he suffered some kind of spinal injury but another blog said he made a full recovery.

Thats the purpose of the question mark in the thread title. Its coming from some reputable sources (Evil Dee, J-live, and others) but there hasnt been any official word. I believe the same thing happened with Baatin, though. I dont think there was an official word for a day or two after the net spread the news.

RIP

There were rumors last week that he had passed, weird. I'm guessing it all had to do with his spinal surgery. Sucks, one of the greats is gone.

Daaamn, I saw this earlier but didn't want to say anything until it at least appeared true / not a rumor. I was literally just talking to Marquee on the phone on Monday night and she was tellin' me stories about Raida, plus she's got some pictures of him from when Diggin' in the Crates went and toured Japan. So I've been watching videos and listening to some of the shit he did over the past couple days as I've been workin' on this writeup. Crazy.

R.I.P.

I was just talking to Total Eclipse about this yesterday, He was looking like he was going to make a full recovery so seeing this news was a shock. It was a complete freak accident it seems like. His back just gave out in Karate during a sparing match. His operation was done and he was going to be going through rehab this week.

Really sad and shocking news.
