A Year and a Day...RIP MCA

"M.C., for what I am, and do
The A is for Adam, the lyrics: true..."



It's been a year and a day since we lost one third of the "triple trouble" and my hip hop idol, Adam "MCA" Yauch.  It was great to see how fondly he was remembered.  Rolling Stone ran a nice article remembering Yauch, and even Backspin the old school hip-hop channel on Sirius XM did a great tribute to the man that could lay down rhymes with the best.

More importantly, in Brooklyn it was anointed "MCA Day" with a park dedicated in his honor.  My Discordants partner went down to pay his respect and see so many others doing the same.  Adam "Ad Rock" Horovitz spoke at the ceremony that seemed to be enjoyed by many.

I think this picture of Ad Rock with Yauch's mother, Ad Rock's sister and some city bureaucrats speaks for itself.
Like Ma Bell, you have the ill communication.

  1. I love this! That's Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz on the other side of Ad Rock. He's Brooklyn's biggest booster by far.

    And is that Mr. Yauch in the picture?
