The extremely sad death of the extremely ingenues Robin Williams is something which shook the world. But rather than adding words to the already bloated social eulogy that is forming around the great mans memory, we are just going to put forward the eye watering and thought provoking words of comedian Russell Brand; “Is it melancholy to think that a world that Robin Williams can’t live in must be broken? To tie this sad event to the overarching misery of our times? No academic would co-sign a theory in which the tumult of our fractured and unhappy planet is causing the inherently hilarious to end their lives, though I did read that suicide among the middle-aged increased inexplicably in 1999 and has been rising ever since. Is it a condition of our era?…”. 

Everyone of all backgrounds have been paying tribute to the man who lit up the lives of so many across so many decades and because of this he reached into the lives of every culture, country, religion, race, background and individual. Hip hop has been no different. So in our own relatable and understandable way we have put together the top 5 records which mention Robin Williams and his iconic films. RIP to a amazing soul.

1. Big Daddy Kane – ‘It’s Hard Being The Kane’“Just like a diary, for you to admire me, before you’re put in the Dead Poet’s Society”. This line could not be a better metaphor, or summary or just plain rap lyric to describe the connection between Williams and hip hop. How he inspired so many people just through positivity shines through here. So just from one unbelievable artist in the Kane to another in the man who played John Ketting, the unorthodox English teacher who inspires his students through his methods of teaching poetry, the respect is clear.
