Being from the Essex County NJ area, Mtume was a big deal in the mid to late 70's early 80's until I left the area

RIP to the legend.
He interviews are lessons in music history.

The interview Questlove did on his podcast with him is incredible.

I guess this tweet depends on how old you are.

Another thing I liked about him, was he didn't let ego get in the way when he was called out by Stetsasonic. He sat down with Daddy-O, and they became good friends afterward.
