#RIPDukeBootee thinking of you today πππ
RIP to Duke Bootee the ghostwriter of arguably the greatest hip hop song ever "The Message" dis is the man who wrote the words "Its like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under". Was neva in the video 4 the song & wrote everything in it but Mel's verse.
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five "The Message" (1982) #RIPDukeBootee https://t.co/hdCa3ORXbI
I like his ultimate Message:
βFigure out a way to take care of yourself, legal. Find somebody you can stand that can stand you. Pay your taxes. Take care of your teeth.β #RIPDukeBootee
Duke Bootee's "The Message" changed what was then called rap with one song, though the change was gradual. Growing up in Elizabeth, he ended his life a retired college lecturer in Savannah still married to the girl he started dating at 16. Good guy. https://t.co/iMMPcWKExG
R.I.P. legend. One song was enough to cement your hip hop legacy, not to mention your other classics.
