His group Run DMC helped make rap a more understandable and enjoyable for folks like me (who really didn't get it at first). Their version of "Walk This Way" with Aerosmith really rocks!!
It's sad that the culture of assassination continues to plague the rap music scene.

Comfy,
He was singer with Run DMC. Remember " Walk this Way. " From the ' 90's ?

Crossed posts. Never mind, it was worth mentioning twice!

Wow sorry to hear that. I saw him just a few months ago. DMC and Kid Rock were the opening acts at an AEROSMITH concert I was at. The Jam-Master will be missed. Any idea who killed him or why?

I read that he and another guy were at a recording studio. Jay was shot once in the head and died at the scene; the other guy was shot in the leg. Assailant is unknown and still at large, as far as I know.
He was married and had 3 children. Too too sad.
My sister and I rocked Run DMC tapes in our boombox 24 hours a day back in the 80's, much to the dismay of our staid JW parents. We wore the "Raising Hell" tape out, quite literally. 2 back-country kids in the middle of Nowhere,VA...we couldn't get enough of their music!!!
So sad, especially since I remember them speaking publicly on several occasions against the violent/gang/drug turn hip-hop was beginning to take.
I miss those days, when it was all about "My Adidas, roaming all over coliseum floors" and such. Sigh.....

"Jay's like King Midas, as I was told
Everything that he touched turned to gold
He's the greatest of the great, get it straight he's great
Claim fame cause his name is known in every state
His name is Jay, to see him play will make you say:"God damn, that DJ made my day!" ---"Peter Piper", by Run-DMC
