R.I.P. David Bowie
Earlier this morning, it was announced that David Bowie had sadly passed away at the age of 69, after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer. His passing comes just after releasing his 25th album Blackstar on Friday on the day of his birthday. Upon the news, members of the hip-hop community took to Twitter to pay tribute to Bowie — one of the most iconic artists of all time.
Rest in peace David Bowie.
