Randy Hubbard Parker, KRS-One's Son, Dead At 23 In Apparent Suicide

 

Rapper's son suffered from 'severe depression.'

 

By Shaheem Reid

Randy Hubbard Parker, son of rapper KRS-One, was found dead in his Atlanta apartment over the weekend in an apparent suicide. He was 23.

 

 

Simone Parker, KRS-One's wife and Randy's mother, said Tuesday (July 10) in a statement that her son's death was related to "severe depression." The family is planning a private memorial service in Florida on July 18, which would have been Randy's 24th birthday. Plans for an August memorial service in New York are under way.

 

 

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office said Parker died on Friday from a gunshot wound to the head, and listed the cause of death as suicide.

 

 

KRS-One was on tour overseas with producer Marley Marl and was not available for comment at press time, but the statement conveyed his and Simone Parker's appreciation to everyone who has offered condolences.

I am tempted to make a quip about people who preach about the good of hiphop but since this involves suicide I have to say what a shame.

 

Suicide is fucked up in any instance, I don't care who you are, rapper or no rapper. But if 50-cent killed himself I would celebrate.

Yup. He said to an auditorium full of people to "Do whatever it takes to get money." And went on from there to say lots of other things relating to selling out.

 

I'm not against selling out myself. I did it a long time ago. I'm against people who do it and hide under a veil of self-righteousness like he was doing.

 

 

I guess his Son was the real blastmaster huh?

Man, I'm a jerk. RIP big homie.
