I'm speechless.
Rest in peace. You have been of great inspiration to me, and always will be.

RIP MCA, beasties music will be to my kids what my parent's beetles music was to me growing up.

Fuck yeah it will. Damn. This hurts.

I'm very, very sad to hear this news. I was holding out hope it wouldn't come to this.

It's hard for me to accept. But at the same time, I'm just thankful, thankful that MCA was here to share himself with all of us for the time that he was. So many great moments for all of us because of him. So many terrific memories. He was just a brilliant, multi-talented artist. As one of the Bad Brains once said about him, he was always the one who knew what the "next sound" was going to be. Just a wonderfully creative person. And by all accounts an absolutely sweet and kind individual. What a beautiful impression it is he left on everyone.

My thoughts are with his family and friends. MCA was the man !

Woke to this news.
So sad. Like others have said, I always imagined they'd be rapping until old age, and I'd be there listening to them.
The world will be a duller place without him.
Rest in peace, Yauch, and thank you for everything you gave me.

I lost apart of myself today, for sure. I'm BROKEN inside.

Not much to say that already has not been said. Totally sucks.

I am glad I had a chance to see them a couple times in the last few years. I remember being like 12 and wanting to go see them but didn't end up going to a show until their Chicago show in 2007 when I was 31. I was in the front row just to the right of center and it was the perfect night. Then in 2008 at the rock the vote concert in Milwaukee. I'll never forget those nights.

Still praying for Yauch as well as his family. My heart is heavy and I feel as if I have lost a close friend. You have been such a positive inspiration in my life MCA. You helped to put me on a good path. I dedicate all that I have that is good to you.
