Damn man, 54 years old?
That's too young to be leaving this place.
We as black folks gotta start taking better care of ourselves as we get older.

If I had that figured all out? I ain't sharing that here.
First I would get the wealthiest in the culture to fund a think tank filled with the best and brightest to figure that out.
And then actually implement it.
There has to be an existing entity to use as a template.
No matter the case - it would be a wonderful thing if achieved and it's something that is far from impossible.
Sugar Free rapper Grand Daddy I.U. 'dies in his sleep' at the age of 54

Man that's a name I haven't heard in 30 years but RIP still.
Rest in peace & condolences to his family and friends.
All the cats from my era are dropping. RIP IU.
It would!
Imagine old rappers with enough income to hold on to their publishing. Not having to do $500 hooks for new jacks who can't rap for shit. Not having to throw their back out for peanuts on those old school reunion tours.
I don't know if the wealthiest people in the culture would be the right ones to get behind this though. A lot of them are halfway responsible for most of these old rappers going broke in the first place.
Bruh... 
Another of the MCs from The Golden Era. Rest, brother.
Too young.
RIP brother.
RIP brother.

everybody dying now...not waking up...tons of folks...brah
Its a guy that is 74 years old that I work with. He looks like he's in his 30s or early 40s. He walks, talks and acts like he's in his 30s. Mind is super sharp and no aches and pains. That's how you want to be in your mid 70s. 54 years old is waaaay too young to be dying. Taking care of your health is everything! Money and possessions ain't shit without your health.

My condolences @dik cashmere @playahaitian
I gotta go see his daughter just trying to give her time
Losing a lot of people that were very instrumental in my life. It’s starting to take a toll

Amen! That's exactly how I want to be at that age.
But he 74 and still working
He loves his job, just like I do. He programs CNC machines and let's the machine run. He's been doing it for 40+ years. There's a couple more people here that are older and have been here forever. They love their careers. No heavy lifting, no getting dirty, air conditioning... they make 100K+ doing something that they love. They don't want to leave for some reason.
Oh yeah, he just bought a brand new 2023 Toyota Tundra and had a pool installed in his back yard last summer that costed 95 grand. Here at work, he don't stand still... he's always up and doing something while everyone else is sitting down, chilling.
@Dr. Truth yall can laugh all you want.
