RIP Trugoy The Dove, De La Soul co-founder/rapper 🙏🏾

I found out this news late af but I’m not gonna lie this one hit me HARD. 😢

Back in high school, De La Soul was everything I aspired to. They are the rap group that made me want to seriously do music.

Their crazy ass rhymes and daring use of sampling Old School classic records and turning them into a whole new sound (big up their producer on the first album, DJ Prince Paul) just blew my teenaged mind at the same. I had loved Run-DMC, Boogie Down Productions, UTFO, Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick etc before they came along but once I heard their debut single “Plug Tuning” they became the nee standard that I aspired to.

Right after my high school best friend Anton Lewis heard that sontg, he immediately renamed himself the rapper A Le Wiz and I became MC Number One lol (tbh I first used the name MC EZ Rock but then Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock came out with “It Takes Two” so I had to change it lol).

Then we got our hands on De La Soul’s debut album “3 Feet High And Rising” and became even more obsessed with their super intelligent and poetic rhyme style that didn’t focus on sounding “tough” or “street”.

Songs like “Potholes In My Lawn”, “The Magic Nunber” and “Buddy” featuring The Jungle Bros, Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah and even more.

And then their mosnter jam “Me Myself And I” became THE JAM of summer 1989 and literally everyone worldwide knew and loved De La Soul which made me super happy and proud. 😊

Thank you Posdnous, Trugoy The Dove and DJ Pace Master Mase for so many years of great music and even greater memories over the years to the soundtrack of later hits like “Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)”, “A Rollerskating Jam Called ‘Saturdays’”.

Not to mention Trugoy The Dove’s awesome feature on the hook of A Tribe Called Quest’s classic, “Award Tour”. 🙌🏾 (RIP to my all time fave Trini rapper Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest, who passed away back in 2016🕊️)

Rest In Power to the icon, David Jude Jolicoeur AKA Trugoy The Dove. Thanks for everything. De La Soul forever! 🙏🏾

#sunday If u know me, u know how much I love @wearedelasoul and I am devastated by the passing of @trugoy_da_dove. Y’all don’t even know the impact they had on me. They were the first concert I paid for and attended by myself as a high school student. I had the OG glow in the dark T-shirt that I wore like everyday in college. I’m so heartbroken y’all! 💚💛🖤 Rest in peace and with the daisies! 🌼☮️🕊️ #rip #riptrugoy #trugoythedove #delasoul #restinbeats #Repost @forhiphop ・・・ Trugoy The Dove. Plug Two. Dave.

・ Rest in peace. Dove. 今朝起きて一番最初に見た文字が、彼の訃報だった。 それからずっと頭の中を巡る “3, that's the magic number “. 今年に入り直ぐに全てのプラットフォームにストリーミングされる報せは、彼ら3人の願いが叶った瞬間で、私たちも笑い歌い、大いに祝った。 日本でまた会える事をとても愉しみに思ってたよ。 病は辛い。だけど早いよ。 やすらかに、Dove。 #delasoul #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #cartermagazine #carter #trugoythedove #davidjudejolicoeur #delasoul #3feethighandrising #rip #sip #hiphop #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history #staywoke @cartermagazine “Everybody's sayin'… What to do when suckin' lunatics start diggin' and chewin’, They don't know that the Soul don't go for that Potholes in my lawn… And that goes for my rhyme sheet… Which I concentrated so hard on, see… I don't ask for maximum security… But my dwellin' is swellin' It nipped my bud when I happened to fall Into a spot… Where no ink or an ink-blot Was on a scroll… I just wrote me a new mot… But now it's gone… There's no Suckers knew that I hate To recognize that every time I'm writin' It's gone.” - Trugoy the Dove Rest in Peace | David Jude Jolicoeur CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com https://www.instagram.com/p/Col694IyCz-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
