Prayers up!
According to reports, legendary DJ, Eddie Cheba has passed away. Russell Simmons shared the sad news via Instagram, writing, “one more legendary groundbreaking rapper has passed and the hip-hop community was too uneducated to give him the proper flowers he deserved.”
He continued, “It was Cheba or Hollywood, and if you couldn’t get one of those, definitely go get smaller venues make sure u reach out and get Love Bug Starsky (rip) and charge less but that’s the fact . Is it was in that order they were the 3 biggest stars and they were the reason we got to make rap records as a promoter of hip hop promoting all 5 boroughs, I’m 100000% sure that before there was a recording art when there was only performance artists Eddie Cheba was a major mastermind of hip hop all these rich rappers and “moguls” you are standing on his shoulders!!!!! GIVE THE MAN HIS FLOWERS RIP THE GREAT LEGENDARY EDDIE CHEBA.”
May he rest peacefully.
