"Clarence Reid—the Miami R&B artist and songwriter who makes filthy party rap records under the name Blowfly—has entered hospice care today. According to a note on his Facebook page, he has been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and is suffering from multiple organ failure."

Damn, that sucks like a mother king ho er who gives blo bs in the back of cars, and who sw lows the c of John Holmes sized d s , by the gallon !


Seriously though. Its sad to hear this news. I remember a few years ago Blowfly was going through some financial troubles(he was going to loose his house) and Too Short did some shows and donated some of the precedes to him.

I remember when Blowfly hit big with Rap Dirty. We were amazed that we could actually go into the record store and buy it. That shit was like some really twisted hardcore porn. Also for a while, the rumor was that Blowfly was the alter ego of kurtis Blow. It was pretty trippy to finally know who he was, and that he had been making dirty songs years before he came out with Blowfly's Rap.


I know he has to be up there in years, and i hope he's not suffering much.

Cancer is killing a lot of people.
