This is a sad day in hip hop. I remember listening to Mr. Magic, staying up late with my tape deck trying to catch that exclusive release. The next day you take your boom box and blast outside. Those were the good old days. This is a super super blast blast Mr. Magic Magic Show Show. Rest In Peace.
