Rest In Peace, King

RIP Scarecrow! I found your music too late! Your music has left a huge impact. People are sampling your legendary verses and beautiful lyrics. The best rapper to be able to paint a dark gruesome picture and story with words. Your music has helped me a lot. The most relatable lyricist to me. You somehow describe the feelings of what people feel with extreme anxiety, depression, suicide, panic attacks, and just not being mentally well all at once in your lyrics. So thank you so much for yours...

Changed the rap game forever. Artists today still using some of his bars and samples from his songs 30+ years later. Will never be forgotten. Even for 100s of years to come.

Lord Infamous!!! I grew up on your music. You were a pioneer and an inspiration for millions of fans and upcoming lyricists. Your flow was second to none. You were the first person I heard with the triple flow that is popular with just about any artist in todays hip hop. You were a down to earth individual and funny as you could be. You will be greatly missed!!!

Your son sounds just like you

That’s something

Rest in Peace Lord Infamous.Your musical talent will be remembered Always.Three 6 Mafia...!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I've admired you from afar.

Rest in peace Lord INFAMOUS #blay you will be missed #MAFIA
