Should I be embarrassed because I have never heard of him, or the group for that matter? I don't listen to rap, but I at least thought I always stayed current

They were a kid band in the 90's. Way too young to die you would hope.

I wouldn't go that far, they were pretty much two hit wonders.

Still, it is sad for his family that Mac Daddy died so young.

I think everyone should wear their clothes backwards today in their honour

Thats an argueable point, they were one hit wonders to the radio world, but if you know anything about hip hop, and rap and creating a song....Its extremely hard for a duo or group in rap to work. These two had incredible flow, timing and word play for their young age as well as great team work and chemistry. I have all their albums and they had a lot of good rap songs....not just what got people to dance to and what the radio ONLY PLAYED.
