    I can’t believe how young.

    The musician had been struggling with ill health and diabetes for several years, and received a kidney transplant from his wife in 2008.

    Born Malik Isaac Taylor in 1970, he co-founded the philosophically-focused rap group in 1985 with his classmates Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.

    Sad times, I think ‘the lower end theory’ has got to be on my list of perfect albums, Scenario being the prefect finish to it.

    The wife is a great woman and a great wife

    In situations like this can she get her kidney back ?

    Not totally perverse to ask as her mortality will presumably benefit from having it back, and that is what he would have wanted, I would have thought.

    Yeap, asking the same question … would be good if she can get it back.

    Also can the kidney be re-used?
