RIP Rob Base

[No. 2]

I was 10 when "It Takes Two" came out and I think it was a staple of every middle and high school dance I went to. One of those earworms that will still randomly pop in my head from time to time.

‘It Takes Two’ rapper Rob Base, who helped bring hip-hop mainstream, dies at 59

Damn. That sucks. A pioneer in helping to bring hip-hop mainstream. RIP

That damn James Brown sample on a loop was ubiquitous for the better part of a decade afterward.

RIP Rob (and also his DJ, who passed a while back).
