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.
I was driving down the road on I Atlanta, talking to my wife, who happens to be white, in the car yesterday. I explained how Robin Harris was such a young comedian and died in sleep. We were crushed to find out this young man had died. Have a blessed weekend all. 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. I have no doubts that this brother was destined for something greater. Hello, good night. 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. 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. 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…. I just saw this brother for the first time of Def Jam. 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. All We can do is Let him rest in peace and know that he is in a place that is with the Lord our Savior..
I hope his fam-bam is okay and is finding much to do and remember his greatness while he was on earth. Rest in peace brother. You a star no mater what. Your are in the arms of the lord now. I know you have everyone smiling! I saw the act on dcj and when it showed the memoriam at the end, it hit me hard that he was so young and talented. 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…..
The date flashed on the screen in while he ended his set in slow motion, 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. Rest in Peace King…. Damn rasheed why so early man when i found out it was heart breaking i first seen your act on badboys of comedy u was the funy dude that did uncle dope and mr. Just as another said before….. GOD needed laughter in heaven. 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. God bless his family with peace and the knowledge, he touched the world. You were a funny brotha. II can always tell when someone is a good person, you seemed like a good person. P my nig god bless you. Rasheed, God Bless your Family. Truth comedy is difficult to consistently be funny, state to state, region to region, Rasheed had people laughing their asses off.
I had the pleasure of seeing Rasheed for the first time yesterday. Now I am at work watching it over and over and over and over and over until I leave work tomorrow… The absolute funniest, sexiest, captivating voice I have ever heard. I actually visualized each scene he did. You can see him going in the store and a Jamaican store clerk comes out… I can see it.. TO YOU!!!! God Bless You and Your Family. Some people are blessed with an ora and gift that touches many.
Your talent was comedy and you brought much laughter and joy into the lives of many. I am truly a fan. Damn man! Just saw that we lost you. I was planning on going to your shows one of theses days but sadly you are no longer with us. I pray for you and your family and hopefully we will get together at a different place and time. 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.
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!!! 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 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.
This Rian from Chicago, You were a natural you made people feel where you was coming from it was so real. Ms Rian. Man I saw him on Def comedy jam and laughed so hard. Man so sad may he rest in peace. Myself and my wife were shocked beyond words when we saw the RIP after the show a few weeks back. We had the pleasure of seeing Ra live at the Uptown Comedy Club on numerous occasions and he was definately on his way to the top. Ra you will definately be missed.

Wow, I know that some of our soldiers have to leave us, but when it happens to one that is so very talented we question it. Jehovah, has a plan for us all, and sometimes it may seem to be the wrong time but he does know best.

They say never judge a book by its cover. When you see Rasheed he looks laid back. Who knew he would be so naturally funny. P Uncle Dope. May God have mercy on your soul and bless your family.

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. I am greatly sadden by hearing the death of this comedian that could of been another Kings of Comedy.

You could tell he was different by the way he approached the mic like he was just talking to someone he knew. 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. Damn duke sometimes it feel like you are going to call me or knock on my door any moment.
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. 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. Just keep trying.
I am VERY sorry that you are suffering like this. I wish there was more that I could do. Just try to stay strong. 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.
My mom always said when you smile the world smile with you. Rasheed gave this world something to smile about until eternity. This brother is hotttt! And then at the end of his performance, I saw the tribute and burst into tears - I could not believe it! My prayers go out to his family and like others have already said, God needs a good laugh too! Stay blessed Rasheed - R.
