If you don't know who he was, you are what's wrong with this world.

Just saw that, may he RIP.

"Watch me flip and rip
 On the freedom tip
 Open your mind
 See the point of the ice pick
 
I stand tall
 While my brothers
 Still choose to crawl
 Black power, it's in effect yall
 But you don't understand
 You're still a slave to the man
 
Prepare for revolution
 Some sucker say we're free
 I gotta disagree
 Half my posse's in the penitentiary
 So I'm a drop and kick the science
 With defiance
 Because I have no alliance
 With suckas who choose
 Not to act Black
 When they are Black
 Get out my face with that
 You better ease back
 
Cause Mandela did 27 hard ones
 Not in a windowed room
 But in a barred one
 While his wife had tears in her eyes
 The man is a hero
 He needs a Nobel Prize
 But that will never happen
 So I'm gonna keep rappin'
 Freein' my brothers' minds
 From their entrapment
 To silence the Ice, they'll probably
 Put a bullet in me
 But I'm prepared to die
 And Mandela's free!" - ICE-T, Prepared to Die

[Joe Redifer]

I don't think he lived a full life since so many years of it were spent in prison.

RIP in peace.

He accomplished more, despite 27+? years in prison, than 99.99% of folks, plus he lived long enough to see entire societies transform due to his (and others) efforts.

That's pretty damn amazing.
