I'll hold on to the fact that he made an impact on Nigeria and music in general.
He was the person you saw yourself talking to for ages without getting any dull moment.

Listening to his music made you feel like you knew him, he was gifted.

His rebelliously Nigerian way of delivering rap music is something we'll remember him for.
R.I.P C.E.O.
Re: Da Grin Is Dead! by Nobody: 12:39am On Apr 23, 2010
God! and he begged you in Track 1, Ghetto Dreams. . ."Don't let me cry/Don't let me die". . .Thanked you in Track 10. But still. . .

RIP soldier may God grant your family and loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss
i never really followed his music but even in a strange land the song pon pon pon did not miss me
i always wondered what he was rapping about there, the way he rapped in yoruba
chai God know sha,
Re: Da Grin Is Dead! by eldee(m): 12:49am On Apr 23, 2010
Banky just confirmed that he's been to the hospital.
Everyone's confirmed it now.

This guy was what Nigerian music was going to be, he was the future.
I was looking forward to seeing the day when Nigeria would have it's own version of rap . . . Da Grin did that already.

The world will miss you. . . RIP

Re: Da Grin Is Dead! by kaypumpin2(m): 12:57am On Apr 23, 2010
Can't believe i will ever get moved by a non-relative's death.

I hope i will wake up tommorow and discover this is all a DREAM.

Why should Da Grin die now?

Damnnnnnnnnnnn! angry sad sad sad sad

Even for a guy with very rudimentary yoruba (that is even been optimistic), i liked the guy's work a whole lot.
i always knew yoruba is a romantic language (in terms of poetry and phonetics) but no one had been able to slam it that had in hip hop.
He did not die empty for sure but a whole load of potential was deposited here and in his music,he will continue to live.

Not a wasted live in any sense whatsoever.

Da Grin, thanks for the honour of enjoying your gift.
you do well.
Re: Da Grin Is Dead! by kay29000(m): 1:18am On Apr 23, 2010
wow! r.i.p, wasn't a big fan, but i resepcted his craft and skill, it is just so sad that someone with so much energy for the world would pass like that.
Re: Da Grin Is Dead! by Nobody: 1:19am On Apr 23, 2010
ALWAYS, ALWAYS did i find inspiration in Ghetto Dreams, Make Doe and Thank God! Whenever I had a moment, I'd put on some Dagrin.
I still blazed his joints this afternoon and I didn't give 2 effs if I was disturbing anyone or not. Shitz, it was Dagrin for crying out loud. I hate to sound selfish but I hope sossick got him on some beats just before this. I was soo looking forward to him at the Hip Hop World Awards, now he's no more. Am still in tears. RIP CEO

RIP guy, shame on death!
Re: Da Grin Is Dead! by suxes2005(m): 1:40am On Apr 23, 2010
R.I.P

When i first heard, i was down but later
some1 just came in and said he died:
drinking and driving.

Here is a lesson to all of us here
Stop driving while drinking and dont
drink while driving. It is very bad.

Death has claimed his life. I'm sure
he would have wished not to do what he did!

SHALOM
