Yesterday April 3rd Legendary B Boy and Rock Steady Crew Member “Frosty Freeze” passed away. Rest in Peace Frosty Freeze! Now I have to get something off my chest. Earlier this afternoon I was talking to Rodney Carmichael from Creative Loafing and I was telling him about a conversation I had earlier in the day with someone else, who views them-self as a “Hip Hop Head,” student of the game whatever you want to call it. During out convo I say “damn, did you know Frosty Freeze just passed away,” and they say “WHO?” Im thinking maybe my cell phone is breaking up or something, so I say his name again “you know Frosty Freeze from the Rock Steady Crew,” and they were still like hmmm “WHO?” I moved on in the conversation, but after I got off the phone I realized how upset that made me feel. Heres a person whos around the same age as me, and claims to be soo “Hip Hop” and down for the culture, etc. and doesnt event know who Frosty Freeze is??? I have a problem with that.
Me and Chicagorilla were just talking about how in Hip Hop everything it about whats new, and nobody takes time to do their History of the Culture. I told him if I asked some of these new people who are the same age as me to name the titles of two Public Enemy albums they probably wouldn’t even know.
So then I said maybe Im just overreacting… and I have to realize not everybody is into Hip Hop the way I am. So I logged on and proceeded to make my RIP Frosty Freeze post. Then I come across something really, really strange on SOHHthat says “Mr. Freeze of the Rock Steady Crew Dies”
AND SAY I WAIT A MINUTE, FROSTY FREEZE JUST PASSED AWAY, NOT MR. FREEZE, MR FREEZE AND FROSTY FREEZE ARE TWO DIFFERENT B BOYS!!!SO NOW IM REALLY PISSED, IM SAYING HOW IS A SITE SUCH AS SOHH THAT GETS ALL THESE HITS EVERY DAY AND SUPPOSE TO REPRESENT HIP HOP MEDIA, AND THEY CANT EVEN GET THEIR SHIT STRAIGHT!
HOW COULD YOU MAKE A POST ABOUT SOMEBODY DYING WHOS STILL ALIVE!!!!
SO AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO SEND A SPECIAL FUCK YOU TO SOHH AND TO WHO EVER MADE THAT POST! IT’S TIME FOR CATS TO START DOING THEIR HOMEWORK! AND AT THE SAME TIME TO START CALLING OUT ALL THESE FAKE ASS HIP HOP CATS!!!
AS ONE OF MY BIG BROTHERS H20 WOULD SAY “IF CATS DESERVE TO GET BOOED, DONT BE SCARED TO BOO THEY ASS!!!
“I could go on and on, But Im just gonna send my Condolences to the family of Frosty Freeze and to all the Rock Steady Crew Fam.

Frosty Freeze died yesterday at age 44. The man had crazy style when it came to dancing, I’ll never forgot watching his movements as a kid, as well as Crazy Legs, Ken Swift, Etc and being like “damn how’d they do that!” …. You will be missed, But not forgotten!

I am a stickler for correction and I admire the fact that you called SOHH out for their mistake. Good job. And no, you are not overreacting. Great blog.
Yomang.
Good looks on this. Domingo sent me the SOHH post and said: “yo, mr. freeze died”, and I’m like “you mean frosty freeze foo!”, and he says “they’re the same person, read the SOHH post”…Man, I had to show him they were two different people by doing google searches and shit….hahaha. And his boy is James Top. It really shows how disconnected the culture is in many ways. It’s rare you get folks who are rounded. I mean, I don’t consider myself an authority, but man….Let’s let muhfuckers know. Good looking on that creative loafing link too. Never saw that before Holler at me!
maaan, im pretty upset that people still mix up Frosty Freeze and Mr. Freeze. you’re definately right…so-called “hip hop heads”….dont know much outside the “Rap” scene. Kinda sad….its an everyday struggle…even in some college campuses that teach “Hip Hop Studies” classes barely even touch on the other “elements”…other than Rap Rap Rap. Thanks for sticking up for the Real Hip Hop!
Word!! Mr. Freeze is my manager and good friend! I got calls all damn day from people asking me if he had died! These fools need to get it straight before posting false info! Corrected or not! They need to do there homework on this hip hop game!! Thanks for telling it like it is!! Much love to all the REAL heads out there! Frosty Freeze Rest in Peace.
