Rasheed Thurmond

Comedian Rasheed Thurmond Passes Away From Heart Attack

Brooklyn’s own Rasheed Thurmond passed away of a heart attack this week. Who is Rasheed Thurmond? You may have seen him on Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy, Def Comedy Jam, or maybe you’re local and caught his act live at The Apollo.

One thing is for sure, every time Rasheed performed he had the people doing all that LOL and LMDFAO stuff.

It’s crazy to think that someone so young (36) and happy would have heart problems. One reason why pomegranate juice is my new best friend.

Here are some YouTubes of a brotha that went too soon. R.I.P.

I hit me hard when I found out about Rasheed. I performed with him in Baltimore a few years back. Uncle Dope - FUNNY AS HE**!! Miss you brah.

12 Venezuelanstunna- Washington DC Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 2:41 pm

It hit me really hard when I found out that rasheed had passed….I’m latina and have never found any other comedian that did “papi” or any latino impersonation so well…. he will be surely missed!

Rasheed, R.I.P, you will be deeply missed! Uncle Dope was definitely one of my favorites, along with Mr. Rivera.  I am truly going to miss those gut-bustin’ jokes.

Rest on my brother!

16 myspace.com/celebritiescontactme Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 5:00 pm

So sad, so young.  As a “new jack” in the comedy business, I am honored that I had the opportunity to study his work.  He truly had “the gift” to make people laugh.  You will be missed.  that’s for all the laughter while you where here. Peace n Love, PJ from Bed/Stuy.

17 BABY BANI Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 6:24 pm

18 Pamela - Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 5:25PM Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 6:36 pm

Rasheed R.I.P. You certainly made a lot of people including myself laugh for the time you were here but God has better plans for you and I know you will be making everyone laugh as you enter through the “Pearly Gates”. You are one of the funniest people God put on this earth. You will be missed TERRIBLY…. we will continue to love and remember you always.  We will be calling your name for a long, long time. You’re Gone… but not forgotten.

Again R.I.P.

19 Lita Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 6:37 pm

I knew Rasheed since I was 12.  He was always funny.  He is and always will be a brother to me.  I am shocked, saddened beyond words, and praying that he is safe and home with the Lord.  You know we are already missing you!!

21 I love you Rasheed!!! Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 8:56 pm

You had me cracking up from the moment I saw the DVD until a recent viewing of the video shown to family on Thanksgiving Day I cant understand this I love you Rasheed RIP Baby Boy

22 Vermont Street Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 9:24 pm

Rasheed ever since we were little you were cracking jokes.  My brother and I remember you standing below the window when we were on punishment cracking on us because we were fighting to look out the window.  You will always be my Sheedy.  I loved you before you were big time and I will always love you.  Its hard to think that you are gone - I pray you are in a better place.  God Bless you and your family! Love you, The Vermont Street Crew

23 Cruiserfriend Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 10:46 pm

Met and hung out with Rasheed (and a few of his funny friends on a cruise a couple years ago)...it was the time of my life and I have NEVER forgotten it.  Rasheed was so damned funny!  He was just…just…that’s all I can say.  He will be missed here…his time was too short! God bless Rasheed!

24 "GUNNER" Thu, Nov 29, 2007 - 11:10 pm

You will be missed.  Thanks for the good times up here in Rockland County in Orangeburg and Nanuet.  You were hysterical every time we saw you!  Even when you were hours late.  RIP and give God a chuckle.

25 CHIEF 00 Fri, Nov 30, 2007 - 12:54 am

USUALLY I HAVE A LOT TO SAY, BUT I DON’T REST IN PEACE. TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. SUCH A YOUNG MAN WITH A GREAT FUTURE. GOODBYE.

26 DJ Demo Fri, Nov 30, 2007 - 2:22 am

Thinking back to our days at Le Bar Bat, I loved your comedy man.  Always had me cracking up behind you on the stage.  Then you would come downstairs and get your groove on the dancefloor.  I knew there would be a day when we would crack up again.  I can’t believe that day will never come again.  Gonna miss you dawg.  Can’t believe this.  And still…..Papi’s no snitch.

27 TuRae Fri, Nov 30, 2007 - 11:02 am

I am deeply saddened by this. We taped the new season of Def Comedy Jam this year, Rasheed had a great set! I am heartbroken when I think about the great times we’ve shared, and the great lives we lived. I will miss you brother. I really haven’t even figured out how to deal.I wish you all the love, I know you’ll be watching the stage from the best seat in the house. I love you
Keep Laughin’
TuRae

28 Nicoledabartender/Tabu Fri, Nov 30, 2007 - 12:38 pm

Rasheed you always keep me laughing. u will be truly missed! rest in peace

31 Kay Cole Fri, Nov 30, 2007 - 2:34 pm

No No NO!  I can’t believe this-WAY too young and talented.  I can’t believe a heart attack is possible at this young age.  We really have to take care of ourselves….dayum….I’m really sad to hear this.  RIP and many prayers to his family.

32 MeMe Sat, Dec 01, 2007 - 1:20 am

Dang, that is a shame. You were a great comedian, good looking with a sexy voice. I was just browsing online and I recently found out (about 20 seconds ago) that Rasheed died of heart attack. I can’t get enough of “papy ain’t no snitch” and Mr. Rivera.  I know what it’s like to lose a family member at a yound age. My dad passed away at the age of 38 and also to heart attack. The good ones never last.  RIP Rasheed and my prayers go out to Thurmond family. I

33 muhiadinahmed Sat, Dec 01, 2007 - 1:42 am

One of my favorite comedian on the youtube. I live in Canada and I’m amateur comedian, Rasheed became my role model and he inspired me greatly with his original jokes and natural delivery. Rest In Peace.

34 QbThug78 Sun, Dec 02, 2007 - 3:44 am

You will be dearly missed RasheedxxG.B.N.F wE SEEN YOUR LASTE SHOW IN THE U.K IT WAS FAB!!XXXXX

36 S.Cesar Sun, Dec 02, 2007 - 5:34 pm

I just heard the terrible news yesterday. I spoke to Rasheed in late Sept. regarding a booking in Rockland county. Although we couldn’t arrive to an agreement he made negotiations very pleasant! All who ever had the opportunity to speak to this very talented man would know FUNNY doesn’t even begin to describe him. To his family, friends, and fans, I offer my deepest condolences. Keep God smiling for those of us who are not that funny.

37 rah Sun, Dec 02, 2007 - 5:59 pm

Oh my goodness Rasheed, Where do I began?  I miss you man.  You know me and Trina had to come out last night for the memorial for you at the Laugh Factory.  I just felt that you were gonna come out and get on the stage and be like Yo, ya’ll are bugging.  Why ya’ll watching me on a projector screen. lol.  Your Mom was there, she is so sweet.  But really, Rasheed, You met alot of people and you touched alot of people and though the Lord took you away from us so untimely I believe you served your purpose here on earth.  Everyone, had something good to say about you.  Rasheed, your jokes live on as long as there’s breath in my body, because you know I know all of your jokes, I’ll still be representing for you at the Bronx BBQ’s, I’m still gonna be wathching your Dvd’s and everything.  I don’t ever want to forget your voice,  Your number will remain in my phone for as long as it can.  I’ll also remember this is not the end…. Till we meet again.  Love ya.

45 T'wana Wed, Dec 05, 2007 - 11:18 am

I didn’t know Rasheed as well as everyone else but whenever I did see him, he greeted me with his killer smile 😊 and a hug.  Then he would look at Athena and give her a big teddy bear hug 😊  You will be missed… I’m happy to say I know you…  Rest In Peace Rasheed. To the Thurmond family, you have my condolences.

46 Gomez Thu, Dec 06, 2007 - 11:36 am

53 SUNDY FROM THE BX Fri, Dec 14, 2007 - 9:53 am

I THANK GERALD KELLY FOR BRINGING RASHEED TO THE BRONX THAT WAS A NITE THAT I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET.

54 Vince Bowman Sun, Dec 23, 2007 - 11:02 am

When I shot my first movie, “Coming to the Stage”, Rasheed drove me all around New York when I was doing reserch on Stand up comedy.  If I ever made a big budget movie he was at the top of my list of actors I wanted.

55 Seziejay - St. Vincent and the Grenadines - Fri, D Fri, Dec 28, 2007 - 10:08 am

Life is really strange!  I looked at “Papi” yesterday and it had me running for the bathroom.  I shared it with a friend and same thing.  Today I thought, this guy is so good I’m going to look for some of his other work.  Then I read “Comedian Rasheed Thurmond dies at 36”  I thought “what the…”  He made his mark though and that’s important.

56 KB from London Mon, Dec 31, 2007 - 11:13 pm

after watching Rasheed’s ‘Papi’ joke i knew he had talent. tried researching him and saw the headlines. felt unhappy but i shouldnt i hope ur well.

57 RASHEED'S FAVORITE NURSE:-) LI.NY Wed, Jan 02, 2008 - 9:50 am

I googled some def comedy clips at work and was very lucky to stumble upon the talent of this young brotha from Brooklyn. What a loss. My condolensces to the friends and family of Rasheed Thurmond. May his memory live through the laughter and tears he made so many shed. Please do not let people forget him… POST & PLAY HIS MATERIAL!!!!!!!!  I only found one clip for him, and just like his sudden death that too is a shame.

62 RASHEED'S FAVORITE NURSE:-) LI.NY Sat, Feb 02, 2008 - 9:30 am

I’m still in disbelief over you Rasdeed I pray that this was all a bad dream and every time I log on for anything I cant help but to type in your name and all of this would disappear. I refuse to delete your text out on my phone and I watch Papi every day, just to here your voice, I can resight that whole clip, crazy right. As crazy as it may seem I can still feel your presents, and every time i think of you and start to become sad I think again of that heart melting smile of yours and then I’m ok for that moment. I still hurtlike today was 11-27-07 Im angry,im mad and yes I still ask God why you?.......Love you RASHEED…...Dam this shit is crazy!!!!!!

I too like many on here just watched the Def Jam show and was shocked to see the Memorium at the end. I immediately went to my computer to look this up and was saddened even more. God’s great plan includes us all and even though we may not understand it, it is always in God’s will. May God continue to lead your family, friends, and fans through a time like this and grieving never ends it just gets a little better day by day. God bless you all…..

80 MUZIC724 Tue, Feb 12, 2008 - 4:37 am

Although I was fairly new to Rasheed’s comedic genius, I was deeply saddened to learn (at the end of his Def Comedy Jam sketch), that he’s been taken away from us.  We may not know why this had to happen to such a HILLARIOUS young brotha, but GOD has a purpose & a plan.  My prayers go out to his family & fans during their period of mourning.

Be Encouraged!

81 Jrzygrl34 Tue, Feb 12, 2008 - 4:45 am

Rasheed Thurmond,
I felt like I knew you….What a funny individual you were…I just watched the HBO Def Comedy Jam and was shocked when it showed the RIP at the end of his set..I did a mad dash to the computer and googled him. I had to know what happened. So sad, sooo tragic. Made me think of how I felt when Robin Harris passed. Gone way too soon but not forgotten.
That “Uncle Dope” routine was fire!..I laughed so hard I started coughing! My condolences.
-Robin in Jersey

82 Nelson from LA Tue, Feb 12, 2008 - 5:22 am

Ay y y Papi…I can’t believe you are gone. My girl called me after watching Def Comedy Jam On Demand tonight and said it was funny. I asked her if you were really funny and she said yeah but you had passed away. Whoa Papi, why? My condolences to your entire family and your baby girls. Much respect, love and guidance til we meet again. You will be dearly missed. Peace and Love Brotha Rasheed.

I was an instant fan when I seen Raseed on Bad Boy’s of Comedy. My favorite part of his 6 minutes was when he was talking about Jamaicans, it was so funny because that is how my peeps act for real. So when I heard he was going to be on Def Comedy Jam I was so happy. I watched his performance and was on the floor from laughter because this cat is funny, as it started to say the last joke about his uncle in the Amusement park I noticed that it was a pause and the his name and birth and death was presented on the screen. It’s sad because I know he was going to be the next big thing. Big Up Rasheed R.I.P!

97 schellkobe29 Wed, Feb 13, 2008 - 6:28 pm

i saw his performance on def comedy jam the other night and it had in memory of. a chill came through me because i could not believe he was gone. i had to search the interet to find out what took him away from us. i loved his jokes and i knew he would always say something that made my stomach hurt from laughter. i loved hearing about the bodegas and uncle dope was hilarious. we miss you Rasheed. and that’s universal (Atlanta).

“Why da cat always sleepin on the bread” is a classic line in my house. He was truly on his way to being a classic comedian. Gone so soon but he made us laugh while he was here and continues to do so. That’s something everyone can appreciate. Thanks Rasheed

I just saw this cat on Def Comedy Jam, talking about his “Uncle Dope”. When I saw it at the end of his performance that he passed away, I couldn’t believe it! He performance on Def Jam was hilarious. I wish God would’ve let him stay around a long time to keep the laughs going. RIP Rasheed.

109 Ms. Keyz Fri, Feb 15, 2008 - 3:59 pm

This first this magnificent comedian was brought to my attention was last night while watching the new season of ‘Def Comedy Jam’. He performed his “Uncle Dope” set and that was the funniest s*it I’ve seen in a long time. At the end of the set, they flashed his date of birth and date of death across the screen while simultaneously, I was at the computer googling his name to try and find him performing live somewhere. I felt as if I had lost a brother. That’s how infectious those six minutes that he graced my screen were.  How come I hadn’t heard of him before?  What rock do I live under? All I know is he would have definitely been at the top of his game had he had the chance.  Damn!! Just when I thought I was about to get my laugh on…he’ll be missed.

110 SoulSista Fri, Feb 15, 2008 - 4:58 pm

I just finished watching Def Comedy Jam and this brotha had me laughing from beginning to end. My laughter turned to complete shock when I saw the memorial at the end. I jumped right to my computer to find out what happened. Such a great talent to lose at such a young age. Peace and blessings go out to his family especially his daughters.

Message to my brothas and sistas out there get your annual physical, it just might save your life!

Be Blessed!

123 SAM-n-North Carolina Sun, Feb 17, 2008 - 8:44 pm

Just saw your act on Def Comedy.  I was already in anticipation to see your next act and could invision you on the big screen.  I was sadden to see your untimely death and quickly jumped on my computer to google you.  I watched your other acts on UTube and Bad Boys of Comdey and they quickly confirmed my excitment about your great talent.  I have been blessed to see your talent.  You and your family are in my prayers.

Just saw Def and “uncle dope” is the funniest.  SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Saddened to find out you’re the Rasheed that was memorialized on the Steve Harvey show back in Nov.  I remember who u are now.  RIP….u were a funny man

125 Eb in D.C. Sun, Feb 17, 2008 - 11:56 pm

I am stupid blown!  Watching def comedy jam after The Wire tonight and saw Rasheed’s act.  Just for them to give a birth and death date at the end.  So blown!  And before his act was over I was saying to myself, “this is my new favorite comedian.” He had true, raw, talent. He will truly be missed by me.

126 shena philly Girl Sun, Feb 17, 2008 - 11:58 pm

AWW Rasheed so sad to hear of his passing he was a very funny guy & i loved his voice his jamaican accent an the portrayin of the maicans an ricans had me LMAO

129 Sherrelle Johnson - Los Angeles February 17, 8:04 Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 12:07 am

Aw man.  I just too saw the “uncle dope”, and i am devastated.  I had the P.Diddy comedy DVD, and thought Rasheed was the bomb.  I thought he was one of the funniest.  After his time on Def Jam, and they should his life/death date, my eyes watered.  this brother was going to be one of the funniest people around.  We needed someone funny like him from the east coast to let us know what it was like.  Man, I am sad.  Just like Robin Harris, this brotha went way too soon.  My heart and prayers are with your family.

130 Dawn and TY from Glenburnie Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 12:19 am

OMG!!!

I just watched him on Def Comedy Jam talkin about his uncle dope! (lol)... and it said he passed in November…I am DEVISTATED!... I was excited that he was going to be on tonight… I almost pissed myself when he was on before talking about the cat sleepin on the bread in the bodega… this dude was SO talented… I can’t believe it.. I don’t know what to say.  I am almost in tears… Devistated… I didn’t know him personally… but still.. damn..My prayers to his family and friends.

What a shock. My jaw is still dropped from the unexpected ending to Def Jam on Demand.

Here’s to chasing your dreams and remembering to laugh.

134 atlantagirlwatchin Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 12:36 am

I like many others just watched and saw you tonight on Def Comedy Jam and couldn’t stop laughing at Uncle Dope. I too had a Uncle Dope and you brought back so many memories! I pray that God covers your family and may you rest in peace.

135 Lee Major-Atlanta Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 12:51 am

That memorial at the end of Def Jam tore me apart. Rasheed was a true comedian. “Papi ain’t no snitch”..!! Classic. In a day where we have such wack dudes on dumb shows like Comic View, Rasheed was a that dude. Definitely was on his way to being a legend in the comedy game. Much love to the Thurman family.

136 FISK50 Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 1:00 am

damn we lost another young solider, R.I.P my dude.  but uncle dope was some real true shit. and and muthafukaz know . i need a dvd of all this nigga’s stand up shows fo’real . B.K.                      stand up

137 Ivy_1113, Killeen TX Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 1:00 am

Tonight I saw an episode of “Def Comedy Jams” that was in memory of Rasheed.  I’d seen him before on “Bad Boys of Comedy”.  I was (and still am) in shock over his death.  He was so talented and funny.  May God continue to bless his soul and help heal his family. He will be missed.

138 He looked so friendly on tv Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 1:03 am

May the Good Lord rest his soul.  May the Lord be with his loved ones and take care of his daughters.

139 Big Glass (VA) Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 1:28 am

DAMN!!! JUST SAW HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT ON DEF JAM. AS THE SCROLL CAME UP WITH HIS LIFE/DEATH I WAS IN SHOCK. HE IS THE GUY I WANNA TELL ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT, FIRST!! IN LAUGHTER.  I GUESS I STILL CAN, BUT NOT IN THE RIGHT WAY. MY PRAYERS TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS,I KNOW HE WILL BE MISSED. I WILL FOLLOW HIM ON YOU TUBE OR ANY DVD THAT EVER COME’S OUT…..R.I.P YOUNG TALENT

142 Jose in LA Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 2:46 am

Same here-just saw the man and the Uncle Dope routine and thoroughly enjoyed it.  And here it was, we see the announcement below to indicate his passing.  Quickly did the research and landed upon this (what I feared)-that he’s no longer with us.  What an awesome voice he possessed and what poise he maintained on his delivery.  It was a pleasure man…the world is without an intelligent, humorous man who projected a tenderness not seen often.  RIP my man

143 Bad news Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 3:06 am

145 TOO FUNNY AND GONE WAAAY TOO SOON !!! Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 3:10 am

I just finished watching Def Comedy Jam…and Rasheed was the final comic.  There was a caption below his name/pic giving his birthdate…followed by the date of his passing.  I had no idea he had passed away.  He was one of th funniest guys I’ve ever seen!  I’d first seen him on Bad Boys of Comedy…so damn funny!  He will be greatly missed…and his comedy will live on…thanks to You Tube and HBO!  We all know that God has a sense of humor…maybe this time…he needed a little help with his delivery…so he called up Rasheed…GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR GIFT!!!!!

146 Antonio From California Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 3:15 am

I am deeply saddend by this .  I became an instant fan of Rasheed after seeing his performance on ” The BAD BOYS of Comedy ” .
The brother was incredible with his impersonation of the Hispanic man ” Poppy Don’t Play That ”  skit . My Prayers go out to his family and friends .

159 FNIC Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 5:14 pm

I just watched Def Comedy Jam and it said that Rasheed had passed. You will be missed Brotha. Thank you for the times and laughs you gave us all. Peace.

160 I just watched Def Jam Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 5:24 pm

At the end of his performance a caption read RIP and I was shocked. I did a search and found this site. I can’t believe it. A heart attack? He looks so healthy. While I am sad about his passing I can’t help but feel weary about my own health and I just made an appointment to see the cardiologist.

161 Badboyee2 Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 5:51 pm

I just wanted to say Rasheed was a very talented comedian, I was watching def comedy jam last night and i saw the caption, i was blown away. You will be missed, true comedy!!! very original!! rest in peace

162 I saw it on Def Jam too Mon, Feb 18, 2008 - 6:48 pm

I couldn’t believe it! He was so young and so happy. GOD has a plan in all our lives and he had a plan for his also. May GOD continue to bless his family….

I was watching DEF Comedy Jam and saw Rasheed on there for the very first time. I really enjoyed his comedy only to find at the end of the show that he had passed away. I couldn’t believe it. The brother was so funny, so young and so handsome. I will pray for his family…and Uncle Dope. Much Love

179 MuteD from NJ Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 1:29 am

saw Rasheed on def jam with closed captioned (CC), ‘uncle dope’ set was GREAT funny as hell then i noticed bottom of screen then i was like :O ohh man….RIP                   Rasheed                   PEACE

180 Green Eyes-Nashville Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 1:45 am

Just finished watching Def Comedy Jam and read the caption about Rasheeds passing…I had to instantly google him to find out what happened.  My prayers go out to his family, he was hilarious.  I loved him on Diddy’s bad boys of comedy, laughter does wonders for the soul.  You will be missed.

181 BEE BOY FROM O.C. Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 2:03 am

JUST SAW THE BROTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME ON DEF JAM.. COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I HAD READ AFTER HE WENT OFF! THANKS FOR MAKING ME LAUGH OUT LOUD. A TRUE TALENT. R.I.P. RASHEED.

182 LorOg Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 2:46 am

Me too just seen him on HBO performing his set and found out he died. Dude had me rolling on “Brand New Old Clothes” cuz everyone got an uncle like that. R.I.P., it’s such a shame to see him pass when his career was about to reach a higher platform. I heard he had a family history of heart problems, so I’m sure what he had was hereditary.

183 rip Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 4:16 am

just saw def comedy jam and the caption on the bottom. you know, it is truly sad when the entertainment industry loses someone who is in their prime. I felt this guy could’ve been one of the greats. he was grounded and real. what am i saying? He IS one of the greats. anyone with album information, please post it. RIP Rasheed

184 BongWada from Oaktown Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 4:34 am

Just like everyone else that has commented, I too, just learned of his passing from Def Comedy Jam.  It was the first time I had seen or heard his material.  When they flashed the date of his passing, I jumped up from my couch in disbelief.  It was the first time I had seen him and he had me at, “What’s good?”  Loved that voice!

185 Taylor: Chicago Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 4:42 am

Rasheed your act was great!!!! Especially the part with uncle dope at the amusement park, “you sent $40 on this, you know what kind of ride I an be on for $40.” LOL

To the family increase the faith, don’t give up, it’s only a test, it’s only a test!!!!!!!

I just seen your last def jam show you performed…..most talented comedian ive ever not been able too see….A voice , a person,  someone will never forget….your in a better place, beleive me….. ” thas No t me , I live on da five floor”

188 KiKi Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 9:15 am

I am so sorry to hear that this great talent has passed away.  I first saw Rasheed on Bad Boys of Comedy. I laughed so hard and became a fan right away.  When I saw Def Jam on Sunday night I was so excited to see that he was going to be on the show and couldn’t wait to hear his act.  When I saw the dates at the end I WAS SHOCKED!!  I couldn’t believe it. 

Rasheed, you will be missed!!

189 klucy Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 12:09 pm

i live in long beach, ms.  i don’t even know anyone he imitated, his ‘papi’ nor the “hello goodnight”, i just know this comedian was hilarious, and he made such an impact on me that i re-watched every badboys of comedy rerun they played, just looking for him! i was very happy to see his name on this weeks’ def comedy jam..  man, rasheed had the sexiest voice i EVER heard, EVER. i think he is truly the ONE black man i WOULD leave my husband for.  and i know i’d “never go back”.  breaks my heart that he’s gone.  i guess violence is not the only robber of dreams.  God bless and may your memory be eternal.

190 Othello Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 1:03 pm

I can’t believe this cat passed on. he was such a bright and obviously well liked person. he imitated the voices perfectly. that Uncle Dope and Papi was hilarious. I was watchin Def Jam last night with my brother and right when i saw that he passed i flipped. season one bad boys and that uncle dope will stay on my mind. R.I.P. Rasheed. “Uncle Dope got Brand New Old Clothes!” Lmao

191 Yardmon22 Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 3:48 pm

Respect from all Jamaican Massive. I love this cat man…I had the pleasure of seeing him live when he did that last Def Jam appearance when he was talking about his Uncle Dope…funny shit!

He will be missed.

192 tarsha 37-tues.feb19,2008 Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 4:34 pm

rasheed you are the funniest kat out there and you will surely be missed and we love you so much…oh i know that you are keeping your papi jokes going on in heaven and the angel are crackin up as well as we when you were down here.

193 Charles in VA Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 5:22 pm

To his Family. Know that God calls us for a reason young and old.  I saw him on BAd BOy. I said, “that guy is funny”. Sorry to hear about his death.  Saw Def Jam and the RIP (shocking). I went to google it.  I hope his family is doing well.  God bless.

194 T-Run in Cali...... Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 6:48 pm

From Brooklyn to LA Dogg… I caught you at Def Jam and was blown away when they hit us with in memory of you on HBO… My heart was saddened, God Bless you and your family! Thank you for the smiles and laughs, I will always talk about the the Jamaican “that forty right there”, Uncle Dope etc.

Enjoy your new life with God…... One Love!

195 Sha'ron in Detroit Tue, Feb 19, 2008 - 7:39 pm

My heart hurts because I, like many others just learned of Rasheeds passing today. My daughter said that I had to see the last comedian because he was so funny but that he had passed away so sense I record it on Sundays I went to my room to watch and my heart broke. To his family you will remain in my prayers. To Rasheed you were and always will be a gift from god. The days and nights that you have filled with laughter will never cease thank-you for sharing your gift with me I will always love you.

Look at all these posts for you Rasheed! You are an authentic angel! You made such a mark on SOOO many people. Jesus, as a tear rolls down my cheek, I know you are keeping Rasheed next to you because this has got to be one of the greatest jokes ever told! How could someone with such a big presence not be here with us? May his spirit live on through his family, his wife and daughters, his friends and his fans. Uncle Dope and Papi will be with us forever! Thanks Rasheed! ~One~

I, like others, just saw Rasheed on Def Comedy Jam and couldn’t believe that it said he had passed at the end of his performance. I was just thinking how cute he was and that I would love to see more from him. So sorry he doesn’t have the chance to spread his talent. R.I.P. Rasheed..

Like most of the peeps here, I just found out about your passing after watching Def Comedy Jam. I was mad hype to see your performance since I haven’t seen anything of you in a minute. Shit was funny as hell!!! It was a shock and very sad to see the caption after the set. I have only seen 2 or three of your routines and can honestly say that you are definitely one of the funniest people that I has ever walked the earth.

“Hinside, mi art urt”

I just recently had the pleasure of seeing this wonderful comedian’s performance (on line).  I was shocked when I found out he had passed.

I truly believe he was a great talent and while it is sad that he is gone, I hope his family, friends and fans realize what a treat they got by knowing him and sharing joy and laughter with him.

My heart goes out to all who knew him.  You can be proud he left such a great legacy.

Someone asked me back in January if I knew the comedian who died, I said I didn’t think so. I had absolutely no idea it was the same Rasheed I saw perform in November 2007 for Rob Stapleton’s Laugh factory event in Times Square.

Tonight, Feb 21, I just watched his 2007 Def Comedy Jam performance. I’m truly saddened to hear of his passing and blessed because I got to see him perform live, shook his hand and told him how I enjoyed the show.

His sudden passing has left me wondering… Just how long I should wait before I start using his jokes. Now this is a comedian whose jokes killed.

Rasheed you were loved and will be missed… I’m going to add your videos to my myspace page in your memory. I respect you.

235 Eb in D.C. Sat, Feb 23, 2008 - 12:20 am

If you are reading this you are clearly a Rasheed fan.  And Once again I am saddened by his death. I came across some footage on youtube that i thought was absolutely hilarious.  If you’ve seen it, laugh again, if you haven’t, enjoy it, laugh hard, and then watch it again.

when i heard your name on Def comedy and i was happy to see that you was going to be on to make me laugh and you did , but was sad to see that you had passed. so i got on the net to see what happen to you and this site popped up. I sit here with tears in my eyes typing this to you thinking you will never make me laugh again, i will never hear you sexy voice again here on earth but i know i be at all your shows in heaven. R.I.P and condolences to your family and friends.

237 Monique-Fayetteville NC Sat, Feb 23, 2008 - 1:26 am

I had the last episode of Def on my DVR. When I got around to watching it I almost deleted it without watching the whole thing because it wasn’t funny.  Luckily I waited until the end and got a chance to see Rasheed.  I laughed my ass off and rewinded him like 2 or 3 times.  When I finally let it get to the end and saw that he had passed I was torn up.  I couldnt believe it.  I hadnt heard of Rasheed prior to this but I wish I had.  I did a search on him and here I am.  For those that knew him I can only imagine how special he was to you. R.I.P Rasheed.  God Bless

240 Bryan - FL Sat, Feb 23, 2008 - 2:07 am

Definitley one of the funniest dudes I ever heard on DCJ. I caught his act on Bad Boys of Comedy and ever since then he instantly became one of my favorites.

There are only a few talented comedians out there and Rasheed was one of them.

R.I.P

241 Mad - VA Sat, Feb 23, 2008 - 3:18 am

He was definately a force to be reckoned with to bad he had to go so soon. Very talented.

243 Sad in Maryland Sat, Feb 23, 2008 - 5:00 am

This is awful, I just couldn’t believe this when i saw it on def comedy jam.  As he was doing his set, I was thinking “I want to see in live…he is definitley going to blow up”.  The acknowlegment at the end of his set, really set me back.  My prayers go out to his family.  He brought joy to so many.

244 A new fan 2/23/08 Sat, Feb 23, 2008 - 5:09 am

245 1 Foot Sat, Feb 23, 2008 - 7:51 am

I was very shocked when i seen that Rasheed Passed away I guess his mission on earth was complete God Need A Great Comic and of all the comics he Picked Rasheed I know we all will miss him but if you have faith we will meet again on the other side I have a saying and if you put it to work it will work here it is

If You Put One Foot In Yesterday And One Foot in Tomorrow All You Are Doing Is Pissing All Over Today

If we all would remember that we would Treat today as our last day Rasheed May GOD Be With You In Your Flight And he will Take Care Of Your Loved Ones He says he will never give us more than we can handle and he will always give us a escape route R.I.P

246 Reminds me of Robin Harris's death Sat, Feb 23, 2008 - 5:32 pm

I was driving down the road on I-20 Atlanta, talking to my wife, who happens to be white, in the car yesterday. We were talking about funny people and she mention Bebe’s Kid. I explained how Robin Harris was such a young comedian and died in sleep. Last Night we taped Russel Simmon’s comedian and watch this morning. We were crushed to find out this young man had died. We recalled his voice from Bad Boy’s of Comedy and “The old hispanic with the Five dollars.”
God bless his family and young man you will be missed. R.I.P. Have a blessed weekend all.

Sincerely,

Tim and Reba McLendon

247 The Hamms from V.A. Sat, Feb 23, 2008 - 8:56 pm

my husband and i used to go on dates at N.Y. comedy clubs, laugher is good for your soul.  when we move away from N.Y. our only connection with comedy was def jam and bad boys of comedy and we kept up with up and coming artist like rasheed . It hurt my heart to see the end of def jam and another young man struck dead way to soon.  I pray for is family.  he was the only one who had funny new jokes that I,a brooklyn breed, now living in V.A. could relate to.  he will be missed.                                    p.s. go to youtube and see the one about the carpenter. R.I.P.

248 Damn sad.... Sun, Feb 24, 2008 - 2:16 am

His Uncle Dope bit was the shit on Def Jam…..the guy was funny without even trying.

250 That's a Damned Shame... Sun, Feb 24, 2008 - 3:40 am

I just caught this brother’s act on Def Jam and thought he was by far the funniest cat on that stage.  I found his ‘Uncle Dope’ character to be absolutely hilarious because I too have an ‘Uncle Dope’ persona in my family.  I have no doubts that this brother was destined for something greater.  It’s a shame that he had to go so young.  RIP Rasheed…keep ‘em laughing up there in Heaven.  Hello, good night.

251 Throws Sunshine in Air Sun, Feb 24, 2008 - 3:42 am

Wow, I just finished watching Def Comedy Jam and saw his standup.  I never laughed so hard…to the point where I have a lump in my throat.  I’m thinking, ok cool, this dude is talented and funny as hell.  Imma need to see where else he is performing.  And then I see the end of his stand up where they showed he died.  Very very sad indeed.  Such a talent.  And now I seeing his bad boy stand up…and damnit to hell if he didn’t nail those puerto ricans!  I am from Washington Heights so I know how it goes in the bodegas.  And I love and know my papis and mamis so he hit it right on the nail.  Very sad to see his life was cut short.  I wish his family, little girls and his friends the best wishes and my deepest sympathy.  He was very very talented….rest in peace.

252 DJ From Philly - Sun, Feb 24, 2008 - 2:41 am Sun, Feb 24, 2008 - 3:50 am

I just saw this brother for the first time of Def Jam. He was brilliant, reminded me of so many people I’ve known. A cross between Tracy Mcgrady and a friend of mine from the Navy who’s name is Phillip. I was saddend when at the end of the show I was watching they paid tribute to him. It shook me! Life is so short. RIP…

253 Walter W. Bush Sun, Feb 24, 2008 - 4:02 am

I was shocked to watch def comedy jam last night and enjoy his act, then at the end they said he died recently…it really struck me, and i decided to do some research about him…..his act was really funny, and i will keep the Thurmond family in my prayers.

I just finished watching the def jam episode on demand@ didn’t know Rasheed passed.The date flashed on the screen in while he ended his set in slow motion,11-27-07.Couldn’t believe it,went to my computer and pulled up this page.So,to his family and loved ones, especially his wife and children,I said a prayer. Im sure he was special to you. Definitely a rising star,and knew how to paint a picture like all great comedians.We are here until we are gone. God bless the Thurmond family.

263 La'Shelle in Ohio just another one. Tue, Feb 26, 2008 - 12:52 pm

Just like everyone else I watched the show thinking, wow he looks good and he’s funny, I need to know more about him, and when it go to the end my heart dropped.  I was sad and didn’t even know you, you made me laugh, hard…real hard and I can still hear your voice in my head talking about “Uncle Dope”, I bet you were a winner!

264 R. I. P. Tue, Feb 26, 2008 - 12:59 pm

WOW!!! just got the news my fav. comedian passed. after i got over the shock i had to find out for myself coz i still didnt believe…. this is sad, very sad…  Rasheed had an awesome performance in Nassau, Bahamas at our Top Shotter’s Restaurant, he had the crowd near tears with laughter and i vowed that whenever he was in town again i would definitely be there to see him….  Rest in Peace King…. u will be greatly missed!

I was told of your passing and couldn’t believe it until visiting this site.Just as another said before…..GOD needed laughter in heaven. R.I.P

268 Wow Wed, Feb 27, 2008 - 7:03 pm

I’ve seen him on TV before and thought he was hilarious. Then, I saw a recent Def Comedy where they ran his dates across the bottom and I realized he passed away. I have never ever looked up someone online after seeing something like that. But this guy touched me. He was truly gifted and I am shocked and saddened that he’s no longer with us. God bless his family with peace and the knowledge, he touched the world.

269 RIP Rasheed Thu, Feb 28, 2008 - 12:46 am

You were a funny brotha.  II can always tell when someone is a good person, you seemed like a good person.  I’m sure I’ll see you in the comedy clubs up there!  We probably need to keep the cussin to a minimum, but that’s cool - we’ll have a good time anyway.    Peace

COMEDY AT ITS BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REST IN PEACE.. .TO YOU!!!! GRACE & PEACE TO YOUR FAMILY..

277 Big Cell and Naisha from NY 2 VA Tanaisha1@cox.net Mon, Mar 03, 2008 - 10:03 pm

To the Family and Friends of Rasheed Thurmond,

First I would like to pray that God be a comforter to you during your grieving time Matthew ch5 verse 4. My husband and I saw his act a couple of years ago, and I threatened my husband not to ever erase my dvr. Like every one else shock came at the end of the DCJ showing that Rasheed had passed. Living in VA but being from NY we could appreciate the cat on the bread and with my husband being Jamaican (Hello Good Night).Uncle Dope(off the charts)!!! Having HAD breast cancer,at the age of 32, I strongly urge everyone young and old to take life seriously, go to the doctor, eat organic, and most of all give your life to God (live right according to the bible) it is not how u start, but I you finish and who you belong to when u finish (heaven or hell) choose yea this day who u will serve. Every man or woman must give an account for himself!!!

Respectfully submitted to all that read this site
Love Tanaisha from Queens NY 2 VA

278 KAEX FROM BROOKLYN Mon, Mar 03, 2008 - 11:51 pm

It was awfully shocking and saddening to find out you had passed, immediately after the “Uncle Dope” performance had aired on Def Comedy Jam. I really was taken back. I really enjoyed not only that performance, but the Bad Boys of Comedy act has to be one of my all-time favorites. I was looking foward to seeing you perform live.

I’m glad to see so many other people recognized your talents. I thought you we’re the next best thing. Maybe it’s that ol’Brooklyn pride, but although I didn’t know you personally, I was definately proud to see you rock the crowd.

I would like to send my Condolences to the Thurmond Family..And Rasheed you will be remembered.

279 YOU WERE THE TRUTH! Fri, Mar 07, 2008 - 8:44 pm

I was in shock when I saw the RIP after your Def Comedy Jam performance. I saw you perform at 88 Keys in Woodbridge, NJ. You rocked the stage then as well as the other time I saw you in person in Orange,NJ. I WAS IN STITCHES LAUGHING AT YOUR FUNNY ASS! LOLOLOL You will be missed on the comedy scene. They don’t make comedians like you everyday.

RIP

Brother Rasheed, was chosen now because Jehovah needs him with him, hia preaence is still amongst us. His voice,his smile, and the humor that he shared with all of us.To the Thurmond Family, My condolences goes out to you, and may Jehovah continue to bless you all.

318 Chela Wed, Apr 16, 2008 - 9:35 pm

I saw the “Papi” skit before and loved how he got us.  He got us Boricua’s down!  Anybody that couldl understand people that much was somebody special.  This past weekend I saw a skit where he’s talking about his uncle and how the uncle threatens to beat you.  Once again!  I was amazed at how he could identify so closely with a person and touch masses.  RIP Rasheed!

Hi potential was endless…super stardome a given for this brother.. so much personality, so much life, seems like the wrong candidate to be taken from this world,, a constant reminder that we dont control the next breath.. death is indiscriminate..after watching him, i am hungry for the next laugh, feeding off his words. The “biggie” of comedy..

327 wayne/The Bullpen Fri, May 09, 2008 - 7:12 pm

Only the good die Young!! U were great. Rasheed held me down for a few months hosting comedy in a little spot in bed-stuy I owned called THE BULLPEN on fulton st. We were packed every wednesday up those stairs…lol. anytime after that when ever I needed him to perform he would come thru for me. U will be missed

Missing you bad brother!  I still cry alot, crying right now in my office at work.  I’m still learning how to let go but it’s so hard!  I cried and worried myself so bad that I had a heart attack but thanks to God’s Grace & Mercy, he gave me another chance to live a new life.  I have to let go for my health, the kids, family, and friends.  Love You-Not Even Death can keep us apart.  You remain in my mind, heart, spirit and soul.  Rest on Brother-R.I.P
Love Always

First and foremost I would like to send my condolences to the family.  I met Ra for the first time years ago when he did shows in CT and we stayed in touch…whenever you came to town or when you were in the area me and my peeps would make sure that we would come see you because you were the funniest man around with original material.. I could count on gettin a gut busting laugh at your shows…I know you are probably in heaven now smiling saying remember that limo trip when we both got sick from partying too much in Boston, if I am not mistaken Smokey was with us…my heart hurts (like dude in your joke ...“Carpenter”...the only difference is I knew your Real Name…and how to get in touch) to know that you are no longer with us, but you will always be in my heart..FOREVER!  I love you Brooklyn! And I know you are keeping them laughing in heavan…C you when I see you.  Forever your number 1 fan from CT…The Goddess

345 Mr. Rivera Fri, Aug 15, 2008 - 10:08 pm

Rasheed: “How come everytime I come in here, the cat sleepin on da bread?”

Mr. Rivera: “I don know, he live there!!”

346 mimi7moon Mon, Aug 25, 2008 - 1:37 am

I just found out while watching an old rerun of DCJ.  Rasheed was definitely a brilliant comedian…his material was fresh and his delivery was tight.  This is so sad…His laughter will live on for me always.

RIP Rasheed

347 Teia Howell Mon, Aug 25, 2008 - 4:40 am

I am greatly sadden by hearing the death of this comedian that could of been another Kings of Comedy.  In the pass week I have heard of Bernie Mac death and now this.  The Lord needs comedians too, so laugh on, laugh on, your work was done.  I know it has been over a year but you are still funny.  May your family continue to be be bless with your memories because you still live on.  May God Bless a loving fan.

348 terence Tue, Sep 02, 2008 - 9:09 am

“Wat the blootclaat man. Mi neva know seh di comedian dead.”  Rasheed was the funniest ever. Most Jamaicans dont like hearin people poke fun at us but for Rasheed we made an exception. You are the man and i know yuh boy Trevor will miss you. Rest in peace Rasheed and keep tellin those ‘New Brand’ jokes wherever you are. Love and respect to the ‘Comedian’.

349 big jim Thu, Sep 04, 2008 - 8:37 pm

I am from East Newyork ( Pine Street)My girl from high school told me about this dude Rasheed which was funny as hell. So being the fellow brooklyn girl that I am, I looked him up. Man I was cracking up at the clips. His spanish jokes was so on point…I was in tears. being the panamanian that I am I could relate. to his little girls and their mom my prayers are with you…........Be Blessed.

351 msclarke Thu, Oct 02, 2008 - 1:28 am

353 alex Mon, Oct 20, 2008 - 1:38 am

I just caught Rasheed’s act on Def Comedy Jam. His uncle dope stories made me laugh out loud. I thought at the time this guy has talent and is going to a big star. I was sad to see he passed away. May God bless his soul.

354 Everlas Mon, Oct 20, 2008 - 1:55 am

Damn, I am from the West Indies, Trinidad to be exact and we say hello, goodnight too…LOL, man this brother is so funny…just caught the Def Comedy joint and didn’t know you were gone brother, God bless your daughters and your family…R.I.P!

355 Chris, Scotland Fri, Oct 24, 2008 - 1:12 am

So, so sad.

Made me mad when I read he is no longer with us.

Was just trawling YouTube watching some Def Jam comedy and happened apon some of his brilliant performances.

You could tell he was different by the way he approached the mic like he was just talking to someone he knew.

Life is not fair.

R.I.P. “The Truth”

356 Nicole Sun, Nov 02, 2008 - 6:26 pm

I just watched the clip and you are one funny guy…I was cracking up at the jokes. So sad to know that I just found your comedy and then to hear you are gone. I pray you are in heaven making everyone laugh and my condolences to the family.

Hey Brother!  Tears are out of control once again, missing you man for real.  I thought I was gonna be stronger than I am right now but you know I’ve always been the cry baby of the family.  Damn duke sometimes it feel like you are going to call me or knock on my door any moment.  When I seen you in the casket, I was like nah that ain’t my brother, Duke; swear it looked nothing like you but God works things out for everybody in different ways because when I think about it, if you would have looked just liked yourself, God knows what my condition would have been then or now.  I can’t seem to let go Duke and it hurts like hell.  Everybody say in due time I will heal but Duke when you died, it left me as a shell, I lost my brother, my protector, the love of my life, my strong hold, my happiness and the list never stops Duke.  I try to keep you out my mind because the very thought of you makes me cry and I can’t stop when it starts.  Damn Duke; if I had the blessing of Mary in the bible; I would beg Jesus to bring my brother back just like he did for Lazarus but if I continue to live my life right, I see you and dad in heaven.  Till then Rest on Brother!  Have your rest and know brother I am out to fulfill every dream that makes life for me so special and I got you to thank for that.  Even though you died young, Brother you lived your dream and proved that dreams really do come true so you inspire me in life and death.
  Luv you always-Tahirah Thurmond

359 To Tahirah Wed, Nov 26, 2008 - 3:04 am

Just keep trying. I know it’s hard. I can’t front, I don’t know what you feel but you MUST move forward for him, your family, for everyone. I am VERY sorry that you are suffering like this. I wish there was more that I could do. Just try to stay strong.

361 CHERRYCOKE (LOUISIANA) Sat, Dec 06, 2008 - 7:11 pm

I had NO idea Rasheed was gone.  This has really been shocking to me. So unlike most my grief just begins.  Rasheed was so amazing.  His countless jokes would brighten up the most dismal day.  I had been sitting here needing a pick me up because I was having toughts of my mother who passed away last year from cancer. I automatically thought of Rasheed’s comical greatness.  My mom always said when you smile the world smile with you.  Rasheed gave this world something to smile about until eternity.  RIP

362 Kayla from London, England Sun, Dec 14, 2008 - 7:54 pm

I was just given a copy of the latest Def Comedy Jam and saw this guy Rasheed come on and thought, “hey! This brother is hotttt!”  And as I listened and laughed my ars* off at his ‘Uncle Dope’ I thought, I cannot wait to see more of this guy. And then at the end of his performance, I saw the tribute and burst into tears - I could not believe it!  There aren’t many comedians who can keep me hooked to the screen and laughing out loud but Rasheed did and he looked like such a lovely person to know - it is such a shame.  My prayers go out to his family and like others have already said, God needs a good laugh too!  Stay blessed Rasheed - R.I.P

363 benny Tue, Dec 16, 2008 - 6:30 pm

Rasheed Thurmond Many Blessing’s to you and your family Rasheed Thurmond although i never met you you made lots of laughter in My Family’s lives we thank you now and forever more,Definitely a tragic loss.

I’m a super NEW comedian who was searching for inspiration the night before my first show last friday, don’t know how I got to Rasheed’s videos but I can honestly say when I found them I believe they changed my life… Everything happens for a reason. I watched EVERY clip a brotha could find, took a walk @ 2:30am got my mind rite, and DESTROYED my first show EVER while givin Rasheed a shout out… Crazy thing is a Comedy Central Rep happened to be in the building and after doing comedy for ONLY a month I have a meeting with Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” after 1 show… I will always study and shout out Rasheed as I climb to the TOP!!! R.I.P. Sheed and if I come to N.Y. Im Rep’n for U and yo ppl’s!!  Much Love from California!!!  James

403 Tahirah Thurmond Sun, Apr 15, 2012 - 10:53 pm

Tonight, I cry for you.  Five years later feels like yesterday.  I told God I have acceptance but I’m not sure about healing.  When you heal, the pain goes away, despite the scars.  Tonight, I cry for you, a million tears.I just wish upon a billion star, but it is what is is.  I miss you man, my son miss you man.  He looks just like you and I just wish brother.  I recognize that I have acceptance but I continously pray for healing.  I cry a lifetime of tears for you.  I just wish brother this was a bad dream that I wake up from.  I just wish brother, especially tonight.  I miss you but more I want you to rest in peace.  Khalid hurts so bad and I know the feeling.  I just wish brother.  I am praying to God for healing and acceptance.  I got acceptance but healing is hard.  I cry at the thought of you but it’s all good cause I know God makes no mistakes.  You rest on brother, you rest on.  I just wish brother..I just wish…R.I.P

Oh Wow!!! I just saw one of his clips that Tyrese (the singer) posted on FB and I thought it was so funny that I was going to go on YouTube and look at more. Before he clip finished I noticed that someone commented on the post and said R.I.P. Rasheed. I immediately googled him and landed on this site. Gone Way Too Soon!!!

407 Tip Tue, Jun 17, 2014 - 3:19 pm

Gone way too soon, I did the same thing that the person in the comment above did. Rest Easy and keep smiling. Very Talented young man.

2014; October 13, 2014 is the first time I heard of Rasheed after watching Diddy’s Bad Boy of Comedy on Netflix.  I knew immediately that this man was a star.  Today, October 14, I eagerly Googled his name to see if there were other videos. I was eager to see other videos because his talent is real.  I am heartbroken—- truly—- to learn that he passed away in 2007! What a shame.  To his family, I say God bless you all.  You lost a gem.  RIP Rasheed!

412 Pitcher Wed, Jan 20, 2016 - 10:03 pm
