#RIPBlackTheRipper ๐๐๐พ . I first heard about him years ago...first just loved his name, a reference to a blackening of all things UK and a reference to the darker side if itโs history. He was brilliant, talented, brash, and beautiful (pretty sure heโd hate that last part but he was) I became a full fledged fan after I heard the song Why? Unlike a lot of his peers he was questioning the status quo early, outing the monarchy, unapologetically and fiercely pro black. He eventually moved to become more of an advocate for marijuana with his #DankOfEngland brand and had the most hilarious and blistering public confrontations with officers youโll see online I almost felt bad for them because his mind was ferocious. He was a star and at 32 far too young to go so soon. While many talk about it, he was actually building up his dream house in the Caribbean (Monserrat) when he passed. At the very least we can say he died in a place that he loved, actualizing his dreams. Leaving all of us to forever ask, . Why? ๐๐พ๐๐ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sA2OYFJu-/?igshid=v0l4488kynz1
