Hi. That’s awesome!... My sister is also a teacher... Years ago she taught 1st grade in another district. One of her students has graduated high school and reached out to my sis to let her know that she’s going to college to be a teacher, so that “[she] can be someone’s Mrs. (sister’s name).” Beautiful that some of you are so memorable in the best of ways. Thank you for all you do! 💜

Yes those 80's were. They were the best. 2020 feel the same

Its worse in 22 & wont get better until Gods war starts & ends with a clean sweep of satan down to molecular man!! Good Riddance to crime makers & life takers

which one is John Fletcher? \

The lighter complexted Man. He always would wear a hat.

@@tondriagrimm6326 the one who had the pretty eyes although there was another guy who had equally pretty greenish eyes .

@@tondriagrimm6326 he always wore shorts with his hat and no shirt most of the time .

Therefore, these artists need to stay away from record labels. These labels will let you die penniless why they build generational wealth! John Fletcher, who as Ecstasy of the foundational hip-hop group Whodini, worked as a paramedic after his rap career ended. He died without any money to pay for his own funeral!! What happened??!! What happened to all his money?! Clive Davis needs to open up his $700 Million checkbook and make things right! But if he doesn't, Puff or Jay-Z should definitely pay for his funeral!! Barry Gordy also robbed a lot of his early artist signed to Motown! "If You Don't Build Your Dream, Someone Will Hire You to Help Build Theirs." - Tony Gaskins

4 EVER yasss

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lol, only few know what this means.

Waýyyyyy 2 soon. Miss him already.

I noticed that as well

Dee don't move with Whodini anymore...lot of people don't know this but Drew owns the name Whodini..show business is a greasy industry very few walk away paid many walk away played facts ..reason why I can't state these facts..cause I got played..story 4 other days

@@Kitu74 l thought l heard he was 1 of the one's that said yeah JF passed? I'm not talking about QuestLove, I'm talking GMD.

I know right

This whole year..I felt like I was on Mars..Crazy..horrible..just unbelievable and it looks like 21 isn't going 2b any better..facts

And now Eric Jerome dickey! I’m so hurt!

@@sharonnialarkins9205 Oh Wow!!! I didn't know this awesome literary author had passed???!! Wow!!:(

What was the beef about?

Yasss

Yasss

I agree with you if public enemy , run dmc n.w.a are they deserve to be too.

I think the next hip hop group to get inducted into the RRHOF should be Salt n Pepa. Whodini is one of my favorite pioneering rap groups but I don’t think they got the recognition they deserved because their hip hop was more R&B laden as opposed to Run DMC’s leanings toward rock music

Facts!!!

yasss i was wondering where's the dj at?

I just said that too! Without D, making the beats its not complete IJS

@@maverickjordan652 Ecstasy & Jalil decided to part ways with Grandmaster D awhile back over something personal

@@DJDRAKE804 wow, thank you for that ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Jalil is sour because Grandmaster Dee bought the name Whodini and all of its rites!...I believe for like a couple of grand!...its sad but he did some research and found out that the group wasn't copywrote or something and was copywrote it and now has complete power over anything whodini!...but Jalil wanted him to sell it to him since he felt that he was the rightful owner of whodini because he started the group!...

@@nathanielbolden5053 that’s VERY sad. Why own the name now after all the hard work and success is done?? To be honest and no offense, but Whodini’s name doesn’t carry weight anymore. What could he do with the name??

@@ghanasoul That’s like having a baby and someone else laying claim to it. Whatever you produce or create, you should own!!! You’ll have to be an artist to understand. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Dee was wrong if this is truly the case.

@@CodyCole80 i agree. My question for Grandmaster D is WHY NOW??. That’s like DMC takin ownership of the brand name RUN DMC. Why would he do it now? All their hard work, hit records, movies, touring etc is over. Who cares?

Don't understand why all of them (well just two of them now) could've owned the Copywrites/Trademarks together?

Nope at least a label that would appreciate them and know what do with them

@@JEDASE you’re right. They DO NOT need to go to Jay Z. No offense to the group, but they should be honing new talent and producing new people.

There’s no need to sign with anyone these days. If you can put out your music through the internet and do shows at your own leisure, that’s better than being a slave to a label.
