I used to live in the same neighborhood as Jalil about a year ago. We would talk from time to time. I rapped one of his songs in front of him once. I had been drinking that day. He started rockin' with me. One cool brother who's down to Earth. Peace to Ecstacy. Gone, but never forgotten. 🙏

[@Aquandria_Official]

Growing up, I always called Ecstasy as "the guy with a cool ass hat" and his flow of rap matched his signature look. This is very unexpected. Rest in peace, John "Ecstasy" Fletcher.

[@kamoradavenport9413]

OMG! I remember Whodini came up to my HS which was in Brooklyn. All of the girls were screaming for them, I did not say anything. They were being chased by their fans. And Drew stopped and ask me my name, he said that I was cute. My friends just stood there in shock. All I said was that he is very cute. This all happened in the 80s when they were at the top of all the charts. It was a pleasure knowing them then. Boy, I love the 80s..

To add: Mobb Deep/Prodigy covered the melody & beat "One Love" from Whodini on "Young Black Entrepreneurs" as did Nas of course with "One Love". We know and the next generation will soon with all of our help, the legacy lives on.
