This morning I heard about the sad passing of my friend and former collaborator Afrika Bambataa (from my friend and tommy boy legend @moluv4nyc ). Bambataa is rightfully known as one of the Godfathers of hip hop. I’d like to share a few of my memories of him. Bambataa loved music, any kind of music. Early after making his acquaintance , he’d often surprise me his musical references, and while most were connected by breaks and beats, not all were ; he loved tv theme songs and broadway musicals, a

The outpouring of love for mani has been like a vast tidal wave unlike anything I’ve ever seen. He was truly loved by so many. There’s really not much more I can add to whats already been said. Mani was a beautiful guy with a smile that could light up any room, an amazing bassist who could add a funky grove to a click track and a very very kind person. Hopefully these photos might put a smile on your face for a second. Condolences to all his many friends, his family and especially his sons. Rip
