The R.I.P. Post

This is in no way intended to be morbid, it is a comprehensive post and list to acknowledge, all of the MC's, DJ's, Producers, Graffiti Artists (from around the World) etc...that Hip Hop has lost over the years, if there are any omissions or corrections, then please feel free to add on in the comments section.

Special thanks to aleph for his contribution (and for the alphabetizing)

Peace
