I am sure he will be sorely missed by all close to him. It really sucks man, and I just hope someone else steps in to spread the word to the youth in the Cape Flats and to help sort this shit out, because that's where it's at --- grassroots intervention. The governemnt and police ain't going to do s**t. | | Posted by ZUU on 27-02-2004 15:00 | Another phrophet finished his work.GOD BLESS everybody he left behind. | R.I.P | Posted by omar-hakeem on 24-02-2004 19:05 | I love the motherland,and I love my brothers who live there,wheather its libya,Egypt,Ghana,Kenya,Mawli,Zimbabewe,or South africa.I want to here from the real soldiers of hiphop not the Fakes. I missed hearing from Mr Deviuos,because our blackpeople are still whitewashed in the brain though they have black skin.Dont let this be the last we hear from Mr Deviuos,play his music everywhere. | | Posted by ShotSlinga, London, UK on 19-02-2004 11:38 | Man, reading this news brought tears to my eyes ya know ? I lived in SA from 96-2000 and met Devious a few times, he came and chilled with us at our crib in Yeoville, and just generally linked on road or spitting at clubs. This brere could spit man, he was nice, Krook'd used to go on about this joint he'd scripted in Afrikaans and how ill it was. Devious man, I salute you. How is it the good ones can go and the bad ones can stay ? I lost my father, also a great man, two weeks ago now. May you meet each other up there and carry on the traditions of teaching, knowledge and breaking and blurring international boundaries. Let everyone take whatever positives there may be from this to strive to make their lives and others, better. Devious was a teacher and the world needs more people like him in it - he was too strong a man for his passing to have a negative impact on life. For real, I salute you blood, ONE LOVE. RIP. | | Posted by KAODENERO on 18-02-2004 20:17 | IT SURELY A GREAT LOSS FOR A TALENTED YOUNG SOLJAH.

I only heard a few of Mr. Devious' tracks but the emotion he poured out was unparalled, he made you know that his words were sincere and heart felt. Never met the guy but his message did not end at the music, he took it to the people and to the streets. "Why is it the good ones have to die"? I'm sure south african heads are grieving, buyt don't stop there follow with what he started. | peace Eye-rekshon | Posted by christa on 09-02-2004 12:28 | All of you should have seen the faces of the youth in prison when Devious performed.

I pray that God look after them and guides them through life without any troubles. Rest in peace, young brother! | Posted by Martin Jönsson on 02-02-2004 15:53 | I remember the first time i heard Devious, it was upon beats from a swedish guy Ken. When i found out that it was a southafrican rapper named devious i was joyed, that hiphop was truly a force of music, political statement and entertainment. My respect towards his family and friends.
