Melvin "Magoo" Barcliff

My heartfelt condolences are offered to the family, many, many friends, colleagues and devoted army fans of the Melvin Barcliff, Magoo. Magoo was a rapper who collaborated with celebrated rapper and producer Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley as the duo Timbaland & Magoo. He was greatly admired by many fellow artists and all those who knew him. May the love and many, many special memories you shared with your devoted loved one show how much your life was touched by him. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Magoo. May his music and legacy keep his memory alive forever.

Melvin was one of my best friends. When I learned he passed it was a kick in the stomach.
He was kind, even to those who didn't deserve it. He would always talk about how if he had to do it over again, he'd be a regular guy. He stated, "Fame is the promise that can't be kept." He often wondered why he was "chosen" to experience success as a rap artist, when others were denied the opportunity to be heard by the world. I'd tell him, "Favor isn't fair." It's not the "why" it's the "why not?" I miss how we might not chat for months at a time, but when we did get on the phone, it would become a 2–3-hour conversation. If it wasn't a phone call, he'd type text messages that were long enough to be a novel...haha. The last time we chatted was on his birthday. I sent him a Happy Birthday text, and he just replied with a "thumbs up." Had I known that would be the last time we talked, I would have talked him into coming by the house. He loved my grilled wings. He hated the fame and was very private. He was always ready to help those who needed it the most, Far too many times, the people he helped wouldn't even say "Thank you" or acknowledge his kindness. Rest easy little brother. May you find the peace in death, that seemed to evade you in life.

I grew up listen to your music you collab with timbaland, missy Elliot, my childhood crush the late great Aaliyah im saddened by your passing you made my childhood memories so good through your unique flow in the industry you will forever be missed and not forgotten hug and tell aaliyah she still the queen of r n b till we meet again Corleone Williams AKA KING WILLIAMS

I grew up listen to you as kid and i could always depend on you to make me dance. Rest in the house of God and tell Aaliyah we miss her too.

This is sad because I was just talking about Timbaland & Magoo 2 weeks ago and then he dies. There´s almost no one left from my generation of entertainers.
Rest in Paradise King.

Sending my prayers and condolences out to Melvin's father, sister Samantha and brother Duanne.

Thank you for your contributions to the music world!! Rip!!

My condolences to the family of Magoo! I had never heard of Timbaland & Magoo until one day I'm in my way home and my daughter who was 3 at the time turned the radio up and started dancing and singing the lyrics! You will be forever missed but you will live on thru your music & memories!

God bless you. Rest in Peace.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Magoo was so very talented, such great music. Prayers for his family, God be with you all.

Condolences, love and prayers to the families impacted. He was loved by many all over the world and will be missed! Rest in Heaven
