I still quote that Bad Boys of COmedy performance…so sad.

PAPI AINT NO SNITCH!!

WE LOVE YA!

Hello, Good Night.

I always would come on YouTube just to see that Mr.Rivera act…You will be dearly missed…R.I.P

Dear Rasheed you will be missed.  May you Rest In Peace
Your family from Jordan’s Lounge, in Jersey City, NJ

So sorry to hear of this brother’s passing, his passion, street and world humor is unmatched. Rest In Peace Uncle Dope.

Thanks for all the great memories at comedy night at BBQ’s

Enjoy heaven’s gates

I hit me hard when I found out about Rasheed. I performed with him in Baltimore a few years back. Uncle Dope - FUNNY AS HE**!! Miss you brah.

It hit me really hard when I found out that rasheed had passed….I’m latina and have never found any other comedian that did “papi” or any latino impersonation so well…. he will be surely missed!

you will be missed so much. you are one of the funniest guys I know.  R.I.P.

Rasheed, R.I.P, you will be deeply missed! Uncle Dope was definitely one of my favorites, along with Mr. Rivera.  I am truly going to miss those gut-bustin’ jokes.

Rest on my brother!

My heart has truly broken! Rasheed you are such a beautiful person~ i’m so greatful to have known you and worked with you…

You were a blessing! R.I.P

So sad, so young.  As a “new jack” in the comedy business, I am honored that I had the opportunity to study his work.  He truly had “the gift” to make people laugh.  You will be missed.  that’s for all the laughter while you where here. Peace n Love, PJ from Bed/Stuy.

YOU WERE EXTREMELY TALENTED!!! I SAW YOUR SHOW BACK IN 2005 AT THE TABOO LOUNGE IN NEWARK.  THEY SAY THE GOOD ONES DIE YOUNG! I WANTED TO COME SEE YOU AT THE QUEEN OF THE SEE BUT I GUESS I WAS TOO LATE….I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR UNCLE DOPE AND MR. RIVERA ACTS!!  CLASSICS….RIP, WE’LL SEE YOU SOON

Rasheed R.I.P. You certainly made a lot of people including myself laugh for the time you were here but God has better plans for you and I know you will be making everyone laugh as you enter through the “Pearly Gates”. You are one of the funniest people God put on this earth. You will be missed TERRIBLY…. we will continue to love and remember you always.  We will be calling your name for a long, long time. You’re Gone… but not forgotten.

Again R.I.P.

I knew Rasheed since I was 12.  He was always funny.  He is and always will be a brother to me.  I am shocked, saddened beyond words, and praying that he is safe and home with the Lord.  You know we are already missing you!!

My friend sleep on in the arms of the father of the universe

You had me cracking up from the moment I saw the DVD until a recent viewing of the video shown to family on Thanksgiving Day I cant understand this I love you Rasheed RIP Baby Boy

Rasheed ever since we were little you were cracking jokes.  My brother and I remember you standing below the window when we were on punishment cracking on us because we were fighting to look out the window.  You will always be my Sheedy.  I loved you before you were big time and I will always love you.  Its hard to think that you are gone - I pray you are in a better place.  God Bless you and your family! Love you, The Vermont Street Crew

Met and hung out with Rasheed (and a few of his funny friends on a cruise a couple years ago)...it was the time of my life and I have NEVER forgotten it.  Rasheed was so damned funny!  He was just…just…that’s all I can say.  He will be missed here…his time was too short! God bless Rasheed!

You will be missed.  Thanks for the good times up here in Rockland County in Orangeburg and Nanuet.  You were hysterical every time we saw you!  Even when you were hours late.  RIP and give God a chuckle.

USUALLY I HAVE A LOT TO SAY, BUT I DON’T REST IN PEACE. TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. SUCH A YOUNG MAN WITH A GREAT FUTURE. GOODBYE.

Thinking back to our days at Le Bar Bat, I loved your comedy man.  Always had me cracking up behind you on the stage.  Then you would come downstairs and get your groove on the dancefloor.  I knew there would be a day when we would crack up again.  I can’t believe that day will never come again.  Gonna miss you dawg.  Can’t believe this.  And still…..Papi’s no snitch.

I am deeply saddened by this. We taped the new season of Def Comedy Jam this year, Rasheed had a great set! I am heartbroken when I think about the great times we’ve shared, and the great lives we lived. I will miss you brother. I really haven’t even figured out how to deal.I wish you all the love, I know you’ll be watching the stage from the best seat in the house. I love you
Keep Laughin’
TuRae

Rasheed you will be truly missed. We go way back to Bklyn days and it was truly a pleasure to see that unforgettable smile almost, if not every thursday @ Tabu, L.I. Luv U my Dude. My prayers go out to your family in their time of grief.

I remain,
Nik

Talk about gone too soon. I was sincerely hurt when I heard this! TALENTED and FUNNY he definitely left us before he got the recogonition he deserved! REST IN PEACE.“cuz Papi frm the 5 floor dnt see nothing..Mr Rivera why everytime I cme in here the cat always sleeping on the bread..he gon say’ CAUSE HE LIVE HERE! dang ...God must’ve needed to get a good laugh.

Rasheed you always keep me laughing. u will be truly missed! rest in peace

No No NO!  I can’t believe this-WAY too young and talented.  I can’t believe a heart attack is possible at this young age.  We really have to take care of ourselves….dayum….I’m really sad to hear this.  RIP and many prayers to his family.

Dang, that is a shame. You were a great comedian, good looking with a sexy voice. I was just browsing online and I recently found out (about 20 seconds ago) that Rasheed died of heart attack. I can’t get enough of “papy ain’t no snitch” and Mr. Rivera.  I know what it’s like to lose a family member at a yound age. My dad passed away at the age of 38 and also to heart attack. The good ones never last.  RIP Rasheed and my prayers go out to Thurmond family. I

One of my favorite comedian on the youtube. I live in Canada and I’m amateur comedian, Rasheed became my role model and he inspired me greatly with his original jokes and natural delivery. Rest In Peace.

dude was funny as hell didnt know him personally but i sure he will be missed this should be a wake up call to everybody people are dropping like flys so if you gotta a beef with someone let it go life is to short cause that person you see 2day may not be here 2morrow

You will be dearly missed RasheedxxG.B.N.F wE SEEN YOUR LASTE SHOW IN THE U.K IT WAS FAB!!XXXXX

I just heard the terrible news yesterday. I spoke to Rasheed in late Sept. regarding a booking in Rockland county. Although we couldn’t arrive to an agreement he made negotiations very pleasant! All who ever had the opportunity to speak to this very talented man would know FUNNY doesn’t even begin to describe him. To his family, friends, and fans, I offer my deepest condolences. Keep God smiling for those of us who are not that funny.

damn shits crazy i jus since at bbq bronx in queens greenacres mall and the crazy THING about it THAT night u came to my table and was showing us ya pic from the halloweeen paRTY U WENT TO U SEEM MADD COOL AND EVERY THING ITS SAD WE HAD TO LOST ANOTHER GREAT COMEDIEN U WAS GONNA B THE NEXT 1 BUT U IN A BETTER PLACE NOW AND WHEN I C U PAPI STILL AINT GONNA B NO SNITCH LOL WE GON MISS YA 1

Oh my goodness Rasheed, Where do I began?  I miss you man.  You know me and Trina had to come out last night for the memorial for you at the Laugh Factory.  I just felt that you were gonna come out and get on the stage and be like Yo, ya’ll are bugging.  Why ya’ll watching me on a projector screen. lol.  Your Mom was there, she is so sweet.  But really, Rasheed, You met alot of people and you touched alot of people and though the Lord took you away from us so untimely I believe you served your purpose here on earth.  Everyone, had something good to say about you.  Rasheed, your jokes live on as long as there’s breath in my body, because you know I know all of your jokes, I’ll still be representing for you at the Bronx BBQ’s, I’m still gonna be wathching your Dvd’s and everything.  I don’t ever want to forget your voice,  Your number will remain in my phone for as long as it can.  I’ll also remember this is not the end…. Till we meet again.  Love ya.

Rahsheed, Rahsheed,
The first time I saw your perfomance at Uptown Comedy Club with Big Kev. You my brother blew me away. Ever since that first perfomance I followed your act all threw Midtown in New York and your television appearances. I am going to MISS you GREATLY.

Damn bro, I always remember papi ain’t no snitch from Bad Boys. What I really recall is when we met you at Bronx BBQ after your show. You kicked it with us at the bar, I always talk about how real you were. You’ll definitely be missed. PEACE!!!!!

I didn’t know Rasheed as well as everyone else but whenever I did see him, he greeted me with his killer smile 😊 and a hug.  Then he would look at Athena and give her a big teddy bear hug 😊  You will be missed… I’m happy to say I know you…  Rest In Peace Rasheed. To the Thurmond family, you have my condolences.

God Bless you Rasheed Thurmond. May god bless your soul and keep you with him always.
Rest in peace. You will be missed.

Man, I bought that Bad Boys of Comedy dvd just so I can see this cats performance again. ‘sheed was mad talented. This is wack.

RIP Rasheed!

I just found out yesterday Rasheed passed away.  I have just seen his acts soooo many times and he was the best!..soo funny and ultimately original.  Life is short! and God wanted him in heaven because THAT IS WHERE HE IS!  RIP Rasheed.

Wow Rasheed! You left us here so soon! How could this happen? Well you did alot of good while you were here, you brought laughter to a society where its hard to let go….
God Bless your talent is missed

wow!!!! this iscomplete disbelief! i remember he came to my Bradley University and blew us all away with his countless jokes that had me laughing so hard! he was a very talented comedian! my prayers go out to his family. GOD BLESS YOU

HE WAS MY FAVORITE COMEDIAN.  UNCLE DOPE HOLD ON.  RASHEED LOVES YOU DEARLY. HE TALKED ABOUT U ALL THE TIME. PLEASE GOD GIVE THIS FAMILY THE FAITH TO MOVE ON.

I THANK GERALD KELLY FOR BRINGING RASHEED TO THE BRONX THAT WAS A NITE THAT I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET.

When I shot my first movie, “Coming to the Stage”, Rasheed drove me all around New York when I was doing reserch on Stand up comedy.  If I ever made a big budget movie he was at the top of my list of actors I wanted.

Life is really strange!  I looked at “Papi” yesterday and it had me running for the bathroom.  I shared it with a friend and same thing.  Today I thought, this guy is so good I’m going to look for some of his other work.  Then I read “Comedian Rasheed Thurmond dies at 36”  I thought “what the…”  He made his mark though and that’s important.

after watching Rasheed’s ‘Papi’ joke i knew he had talent. tried researching him and saw the headlines. felt unhappy but i shouldnt i hope ur well.

RESHEED WAS MORE THEN A COMEDIAN, HE WAS A FATHER WHO ADORED HIS CHILDREN, A MAN WHO DEEPLY CARED FOR HIS WIFE MONICA , A MAN WHO BELIEVED IN HIMSELF AND TRUSTED IN GOD,WHO GAVE HIM HIS HEARTS DESIRE, HIS DREAMS COME TRUE!“RASHEED THE COMEDIAN” BABY YOU DID IT!!!!! MY HEART ACHE STILL OVERWELMED WITH PAIN BABY YOU LITE THE WORLD WITH YOUR SMILE AND MADE THE WORLD SMILE WITH YOUR TALENT., YOU ARE DEEPLY MISSED I’LL BE LOVING YOU ALWAYS MS DEE

OMG! I saw him on Bad Boys over the summer and although the DVD set was wack, Rasheed stuck out so much to me lol… so I decided to watch it again at my friends ova the weekend… I said I gotta google this guy he is WILD but never got around to it until today and I see the news WOW… I wish I would have looked him up this summer when I first felt him, maybe I could have seen one of his last performances… to his family God bless you all, you guys had a special husband/son/father/brother… I know if I’m hurt now u guys are going thru it… my heart hurts for u now and that’s so sincere

May he rest in peace..I had his youtube video on my favorite list long time ago and today he came into my mind so I thought I will watch the video again I didn’t know he died..R.I.P Rasheed

REST IN PEACE RASHEED..yOU WERE A FUNNY DUDE. YOU WILL BE MISSED.

just like so many on here,i too was shocked and saddened to know of the sudden death of this young talented brotha. I googled some def comedy clips at work and was very lucky to stumble upon the talent of this young brotha from Brooklyn. What a loss. My condolensces to the friends and family of Rasheed Thurmond. May his memory live through the laughter and tears he made so many shed. Please do not let people forget him… POST & PLAY HIS MATERIAL!!!!!!!!  I only found one clip for him, and just like his sudden death that too is a shame.

I’m still in disbelief over you Rasdeed I pray that this was all a bad dream and every time I log on for anything I cant help but to type in your name and all of this would disappear. I refuse to delete your text out on my phone and I watch Papi every day, just to here your voice, I can resight that whole clip, crazy right. As crazy as it may seem I can still feel your presents, and every time i think of you and start to become sad I think again of that heart melting smile of yours and then I’m ok for that moment. I still hurtlike today was 11-27-07 Im angry,im mad and yes I still ask God why you?.......Love you RASHEED…...Dam this shit is crazy!!!!!!

LOVE U AND MISS U.  BOSTON COMEDY CLUB FAN.  MY SINCEREST CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY.  MAY HIS PEACE WITH U TILL WE MEET AGAIN.  PEACE!!!!

I was very shocked to learn that a dude so talented and young has been taken away from a world in desperate need of laughter.  You’ll be greatly missed dawg…“I lib in dee five floor”!

Krys

I too like many on here just watched the Def Jam show and was shocked to see the Memorium at the end. I immediately went to my computer to look this up and was saddened even more. God’s great plan includes us all and even though we may not understand it, it is always in God’s will. May God continue to lead your family, friends, and fans through a time like this and grieving never ends it just gets a little better day by day. God bless you all…..

It’s sad to see sucha great talent gone so soon. Guess the heavens needed a special person like you..god bless.1 luv.

Rest In Peace Papi

Although I was fairly new to Rasheed’s comedic genius, I was deeply saddened to learn (at the end of his Def Comedy Jam sketch), that he’s been taken away from us.  We may not know why this had to happen to such a HILLARIOUS young brotha, but GOD has a purpose & a plan.  My prayers go out to his family & fans during their period of mourning.

Be Encouraged!

Rasheed Thurmond,
I felt like I knew you….What a funny individual you were…I just watched the HBO Def Comedy Jam and was shocked when it showed the RIP at the end of his set..I did a mad dash to the computer and googled him. I had to know what happened. So sad, sooo tragic. Made me think of how I felt when Robin Harris passed. Gone way too soon but not forgotten.
That “Uncle Dope” routine was fire!..I laughed so hard I started coughing! My condolences.
-Robin in Jersey

I just watched Def Comedy Jam and I was also shocked when I saw the RIP. It was the first time I saw him and he was taken away too soon.

I was shocked to hear Rasheed past, this guy was funny and I was looking forward to see him rize up to super stardom, One of his funniest jokes was Mr Riviera Bodega store owner…Mr Riviera, why the cats always sleep on the bread? Mr Riviera, He Livie Here,lol! gonna miss you Bro!

Brooklyn’s finest.

I was an instant fan when I seen Raseed on Bad Boy’s of Comedy. My favorite part of his 6 minutes was when he was talking about Jamaicans, it was so funny because that is how my peeps act for real. So when I heard he was going to be on Def Comedy Jam I was so happy. I watched his performance and was on the floor from laughter because this cat is funny, as it started to say the last joke about his uncle in the Amusement park I noticed that it was a pause and the his name and birth and death was presented on the screen. It’s sad because I know he was going to be the next big thing. Big Up Rasheed R.I.P!

i saw his performance on def comedy jam the other night and it had in memory of. a chill came through me because i could not believe he was gone. i had to search the interet to find out what took him away from us. i loved his jokes and i knew he would always say something that made my stomach hurt from laughter. i loved hearing about the bodegas and uncle dope was hilarious. we miss you Rasheed. and that’s universal (Atlanta).

I can’t believe it.. im totally, totally, totally shocked…...Still… Love this man
You will always and forever be in my heart….

so sorry for Rasheed family’s lost he was a funny dude and he will be missed

“Why da cat always sleepin on the bread” is a classic line in my house. He was truly on his way to being a classic comedian. Gone so soon but he made us laugh while he was here and continues to do so. That’s something everyone can appreciate. Thanks Rasheed

Rasheed,
may you rest in peace.  May Jesus take you home; and console those left behind.
Thank you for the laughs!

I just saw def comedy jam and couldn’t believe what I saw at the end. I remember going to Squadz on Mondays nights at Brooklyn -Utica ave/k spot just to see him host the show….He had everyone laughing all the time… he will be greatly missed by me…he still makes me laugh….R.I.P ...Sweetyy.

Thank you for lending him to us God

Thank you for the Laughs Rasheed - REST IN PEACE… keep them laughing up there in Heaven

REST IN PEACE BROTHER!!!!! You were a star whith amazing talent who truley gave us great comedy. You will be missed.

This first this magnificent comedian was brought to my attention was last night while watching the new season of ‘Def Comedy Jam’. He performed his “Uncle Dope” set and that was the funniest s*it I’ve seen in a long time. At the end of the set, they flashed his date of birth and date of death across the screen while simultaneously, I was at the computer googling his name to try and find him performing live somewhere. I felt as if I had lost a brother. That’s how infectious those six minutes that he graced my screen were.  How come I hadn’t heard of him before?  What rock do I live under? All I know is he would have definitely been at the top of his game had he had the chance.  Damn!! Just when I thought I was about to get my laugh on…he’ll be missed.

I just finished watching Def Comedy Jam and this brotha had me laughing from beginning to end. My laughter turned to complete shock when I saw the memorial at the end. I jumped right to my computer to find out what happened. Such a great talent to lose at such a young age. Peace and blessings go out to his family especially his daughters.

Message to my brothas and sistas out there get your annual physical, it just might save your life!

Be Blessed!

Awwww im so sad to know you died i loved you in bad boys of comedy me and my cusins all did. But like they all say the good ones die young. I just saw found out last night all late =[ I was watchin you on t.v and say ur name & date im like wth ?

RIP You were funny as hell

R.I.P

god bless you

prayers go out to you and your family always.

My prayers go out to this family. It’s hard to loose someone, and espically at a young age. Truly talented. God has however called you to do greater things. You touch many hearts and made millions laugh. You will always be remembered.

I just saw him on def comedy jam and it was something about him that made me want to hear more from him and then I saw he passed. So sorry for the lost of another good one. We will all see each other again! Living It For Ever.

Man,I cant believe that this brotha was so funny and I never heard of him. Just finished watching Def-Jam and seen the Uncle Dope set, funny as HELL. Brought back lots of memories. I had a Uncle Mike and he was exactly like Uncle Dope.
Damn hate to hear this. May God bless your family and everyone you loved. RIP my BROTHA!!

The Daniels Family-Texas

Watching your acts during my late nights with the wife is great.But you will be missed.

R.I.P. homie, you were definitely a funny dude!

MY BROTHER, MY SISTER AND I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU EVER SINCE WE SAW YOU ON BAD BOY.  WE WERE ASKING EVERYONE WHO YOU WERE, AND WHEN WE FINALLY FIND OUT YOUR NAME WE WERE TELLING ANYONE THAT LISTEN THAT YOU WERE THE NEXT RICHARD. YOU MADE ME LAUGH WHEN I WAS IN A BAD PLACE “THANK YOU”.

REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER AND KEEP THE ANGELS LAUGHING

                NETTE AND EVE

Rasheed you are in a better place, in Gods arms and what better place to be in.  You will be truly missed by all your fans!  This is truly a sad moment.  Def Comedy Jam, thank you for letting it be known, otherwise we wouldn’t have!  God bless the family, especially the wife and kids.

Just saw your act on Def Comedy.  I was already in anticipation to see your next act and could invision you on the big screen.  I was sadden to see your untimely death and quickly jumped on my computer to google you.  I watched your other acts on UTube and Bad Boys of Comdey and they quickly confirmed my excitment about your great talent.  I have been blessed to see your talent.  You and your family are in my prayers.

SAM

Just saw Def and “uncle dope” is the funniest.  SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Saddened to find out you’re the Rasheed that was memorialized on the Steve Harvey show back in Nov.  I remember who u are now.  RIP….u were a funny man

I am stupid blown!  Watching def comedy jam after The Wire tonight and saw Rasheed’s act.  Just for them to give a birth and death date at the end.  So blown!  And before his act was over I was saying to myself, “this is my new favorite comedian.” He had true, raw, talent. He will truly be missed by me.

AWW Rasheed so sad to hear of his passing he was a very funny guy & i loved his voice his jamaican accent an the portrayin of the maicans an ricans had me LMAO

i had to watch def comedy jam on demand tonight just to see if what i was hearin was official an i cant believe it. i miss u already the world needs funny people its so much hate out hear we got to laugh to keep from cryin

I just saw your show on def-jam and I think that you were a very talented brother and extremely funny. I know that you’ll be providing plenty of laughs up there in heaven. R.I.P. my dude and condolences to the family. B.K. STAND-UP!!!!!!!
Rell

Aw man.  I just too saw the “uncle dope”, and i am devastated.  I had the P.Diddy comedy DVD, and thought Rasheed was the bomb.  I thought he was one of the funniest.  After his time on Def Jam, and they should his life/death date, my eyes watered.  this brother was going to be one of the funniest people around.  We needed someone funny like him from the east coast to let us know what it was like.  Man, I am sad.  Just like Robin Harris, this brotha went way too soon.  My heart and prayers are with your family.

He was sooo funny without even trying…..

GOD BLESS

Wow!!! God just want laughter in heaven:) Rest on my Brother.!  Wait on uncle Dope:)  😊  😊 I will cont to watch u on Utube and HBO

OMG!!!

I just watched him on Def Comedy Jam talkin about his uncle dope! (lol)... and it said he passed in November…I am DEVISTATED!... I was excited that he was going to be on tonight… I almost pissed myself when he was on before talking about the cat sleepin on the bread in the bodega… this dude was SO talented… I can’t believe it.. I don’t know what to say.  I am almost in tears… Devistated… I didn’t know him personally… but still.. damn..My prayers to his family and friends.

“Hello Goodnight”
What a shock. My jaw is still dropped from the unexpected ending to Def Jam on Demand.

Here’s to chasing your dreams and remembering to laugh.

I like many others just watched and saw you tonight on Def Comedy Jam and couldn’t stop laughing at Uncle Dope. I too had a Uncle Dope and you brought back so many memories! I pray that God covers your family and may you rest in peace.

That memorial at the end of Def Jam tore me apart. Rasheed was a true comedian. “Papi ain’t no snitch”..!! Classic. In a day where we have such wack dudes on dumb shows like Comic View, Rasheed was a that dude. Definitely was on his way to being a legend in the comedy game. Much love to the Thurman family.

damn we lost another young solider, R.I.P my dude.  but uncle dope was some real true shit. and and muthafukaz know . i need a dvd of all this nigga’s stand up shows fo’real . B.K.                      stand up

Tonight I saw an episode of “Def Comedy Jams” that was in memory of Rasheed.  I’d seen him before on “Bad Boys of Comedy”.  I was (and still am) in shock over his death.  He was so talented and funny.  May God continue to bless his soul and help heal his family. He will be missed.

May the Good Lord rest his soul.  May the Lord be with his loved ones and take care of his daughters.

That guy was as real as real could be.he would have been the next great comic like Redd Foxx,Richard Pryor,Eddie Murphy,& Robin Harris. R.I.P. Rasheed My condolences to the Thurmond Family

damn he was a super funny comedian..i love that dude..damn..R.I.P dogg..u’ll be misse

DAMN!!! JUST SAW HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT ON DEF JAM. AS THE SCROLL CAME UP WITH HIS LIFE/DEATH I WAS IN SHOCK. HE IS THE GUY I WANNA TELL ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT, FIRST!! IN LAUGHTER.  I GUESS I STILL CAN, BUT NOT IN THE RIGHT WAY. MY PRAYERS TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS,I KNOW HE WILL BE MISSED. I WILL FOLLOW HIM ON YOU TUBE OR ANY DVD THAT EVER COME’S OUT…..R.I.P YOUNG TALENT

Same here-just saw the man and the Uncle Dope routine and thoroughly enjoyed it.  And here it was, we see the announcement below to indicate his passing.  Quickly did the research and landed upon this (what I feared)-that he’s no longer with us.  What an awesome voice he possessed and what poise he maintained on his delivery.  It was a pleasure man…the world is without an intelligent, humorous man who projected a tenderness not seen often.  RIP my man

He has written many blogs at a website called SeekBikers.com.If you are interested in it, check it there.

What a beautiful Man , You will not
be forgotten…Keep the Angels laughing…
Rest In Peace.

I just finished watching Def Comedy Jam…and Rasheed was the final comic.  There was a caption below his name/pic giving his birthdate…followed by the date of his passing.  I had no idea he had passed away.  He was one of th funniest guys I’ve ever seen!  I’d first seen him on Bad Boys of Comedy…so damn funny!  He will be greatly missed…and his comedy will live on…thanks to You Tube and HBO!  We all know that God has a sense of humor…maybe this time…he needed a little help with his delivery…so he called up Rasheed…GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR GIFT!!!!!

His Puertorriqueño was the best EVER. I thought that I was talking and seeing my father talking to me.I will miss him.I have told people about Rasheed.

VIVA EL RICAN RASHEED.

God has truely blessed us to have experienced just a part of you Rasheed.  A genuine talent and remarkable charisma. Laughter heals. Thank you Rahsheed and God bless your family and loved ones.

I JUST LEARNED OF YOUR PASSING AND I AM IN SUCH SHOCK…WHEN YOU CAME TO BERMUDA YOU WERE SUCH A LAUGH…YOU HAD EVERYONE CRACKING UP WITH THE UNCLE DOPE AND THE DI CARPENTER DEAD JOKES!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU RASHEED AND I HOPE THAT YOU’RE IN HEAVEN LAUGHING AND SMILING DOWN AT US…...

YOUR PASSING HAS TAUGHT ME THAT LIFE IS SO SHORT AND YOU MUST LIVE, LAUGH AND LOVE LIKE IT’S YOUR LAST DAY ON EARTH…..........

I PRAY THAT YOUR CHILDREN GROW UP TO CARRY ON YOUR LEGACY IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM AS THE WORLD TRULY LOST YOU SO SOON…..I’M SO GLAD I GOT THE CHANCE TO MEET YOU….......

DIMPLES FROM BERMUDA…..

RIP my Brooklynite! Keep the angles laughing!

Uncle Dope had me crying in the bed last night..Then I saw the rest in peace dates and I cried for a different reason.  Keep’em laughing in Heaven.

Casey C.

Rasheed was on eof the funniest cats I ever had the pleasure of viewing. It struck me hard when I learned of this news. I wish his family the best. Enjoy those pearly gates my brother. Rest in peace.

i was so excited to see him after seeing him on BBOC doing mr. rivera i thought that was so funny and uncle dope was hilarious.. but then to learn of his passing was so sad my heart goes out to his family and close friends, comedians are a gift to us all.. thank you GOD for giving us RASHEED even for a short time.

Like so many, I just got a taste of his comedy this morning. One word…..............FUNNY. “Uncle Dope?........No, This is Barbara.” .................................RIP MY BROTHA

I too just watched Def Comedy Jam and saw the memorial at the end. To his Family my prayers go out to you all. He was a great comic. I wish we would have had a chance to see him in person. To Rasheed rest in peace and know that all is well and the wife and kids will be taken care of. Sorry I never had a chance to meet you, This is my HELLO-GOODNIGHT. R.I.P.

Gone Too Soon, Rest In Peace Young Prince

Thank you Rasheed for blessing us with your gift of jokes and laughter;Papi and Uncle Dope Will Live Forever… Here’s to knowing you will always be with us. Peace.

I am deeply saddend by this .  I became an instant fan of Rasheed after seeing his performance on ” The BAD BOYS of Comedy ” .
The brother was incredible with his impersonation of the Hispanic man ” Poppy Don’t Play That ”  skit . My Prayers go out to his family and friends .

I just watched Def Comedy Jam and it said that Rasheed had passed. You will be missed Brotha. Thank you for the times and laughs you gave us all. Peace.

At the end of his performance a caption read RIP and I was shocked. I did a search and found this site. I can’t believe it. A heart attack? He looks so healthy. While I am sad about his passing I can’t help but feel weary about my own health and I just made an appointment to see the cardiologist.

I just wanted to say Rasheed was a very talented comedian, I was watching def comedy jam last night and i saw the caption, i was blown away. You will be missed, true comedy!!! very original!! rest in peace

I couldn’t believe it! He was so young and so happy. GOD has a plan in all our lives and he had a plan for his also. May GOD continue to bless his family….

RASHEED YOU WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST COMICS I SEEN EVER.  MY REGARDS TO YOUR FAMILY.  YOUR MAN ERIC GREEN.

Man what a loss! A truly talented young brotha, resting in peace. May god be with family.

God bless you and your family brother R.I.P

Can’t believe this…our loss/God’s gain

oneluv

Saw his performance on Def Comedy Jam loved it! Then at the end they did a freeze frame with the RIP dates and I was truly sad. I couldn’t even watch it no more I turned the channel.

Truly talented brotha…

Shocked when I read this…..so sad.

Just watch Def Comedy Jam and see you perfom like a true talent. The world’s a stage and you made me laugh to the brink of tears.  Rock on Bro! SEE YOU IN HEAVEN!

RIP Rasheed Thurmond: I just saw your skit on def comedy jam. We as a people have lost a fantastic comedian and person. Best to your family, you will be missed by everyone.

UNCLE DOPE CAN I HAVE A DOLLAR??...

ct-new jersey

May god bless your family

Funny how the life, and death of a complete stranger can have the same effect on so many people.  Like the majority of the people on here, my dvr is on pause this very moment while i searched the internet to see what happened to this young man that caused him to be taken from our earth.  He will definitley be missed by many.

Man, when I 1st caught the Pappi & Jamaican skit I was in stitches…then caught uncle dopie…MMAAANNN listen I was literally in tears with laughter….then caught the RIP tough news to swallow…...
God Bless the Thurmond Fam.!
One!

You were one funny guy!! RIP

RASHEED AND FAMILY I’AM DEEPLY SADDEN. I’VE KNOWN RASHEED FOR 12 YEARS AND HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINES. FROM THE DAYS OF THE PYRAMID ON 220TH AND WHITE PLAINS ROAD, WHEN HIM, DOMINEEK, AND LESLIE WAS TAKING THE #2 TRAIN, TO HIS DAYS AT BRONX BBQ AND UPTOWN COMEDY CLUB.  HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND KIDS, AND INSPIRED ME TO KEEP WRITING MY MUSIC.  MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO HIS MOMS, WIFE AND KIDS.  REST IN PEACE RASHEED…....... KING KAL & PRINCESS EYE

yo itz all love cuz from the carolinas didnt know to much about ya till tonight but i enjoyed that originality. Def comedy jam just went off i was rollin about what was said bout papi, much love to your folks. my condolences to ya fam 1…

Just wanted to say GOD bless the family of Mr. Thurmond.  Like many others, I caught the performance on Def Comedy Jam.  It was a good performance, and the ending said “RIP” I was like c’mon.  So I searched the internet and it was true.  May the family continue to stay strong and keep Rasheed name alive.

GOD Bless…...

I was watching DEF Comedy Jam and saw Rasheed on there for the very first time. I really enjoyed his comedy only to find at the end of the show that he had passed away. I couldn’t believe it. The brother was so funny, so young and so handsome. I will pray for his family…and Uncle Dope. Much Love

saw Rasheed on def jam with closed captioned (CC), ‘uncle dope’ set was GREAT funny as hell then i noticed bottom of screen then i was like :O ohh man….RIP                   Rasheed                   PEACE

Just finished watching Def Comedy Jam and read the caption about Rasheeds passing…I had to instantly google him to find out what happened.  My prayers go out to his family, he was hilarious.  I loved him on Diddy’s bad boys of comedy, laughter does wonders for the soul.  You will be missed.

JUST SAW THE BROTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME ON DEF JAM.. COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I HAD READ AFTER HE WENT OFF! THANKS FOR MAKING ME LAUGH OUT LOUD. A TRUE TALENT. R.I.P. RASHEED.

Me too just seen him on HBO performing his set and found out he died. Dude had me rolling on “Brand New Old Clothes” cuz everyone got an uncle like that. R.I.P., it’s such a shame to see him pass when his career was about to reach a higher platform. I heard he had a family history of heart problems, so I’m sure what he had was hereditary.

just saw def comedy jam and the caption on the bottom. you know, it is truly sad when the entertainment industry loses someone who is in their prime. I felt this guy could’ve been one of the greats. he was grounded and real. what am i saying? He IS one of the greats. anyone with album information, please post it. RIP Rasheed

Just like everyone else that has commented, I too, just learned of his passing from Def Comedy Jam.  It was the first time I had seen or heard his material.  When they flashed the date of his passing, I jumped up from my couch in disbelief.  It was the first time I had seen him and he had me at, “What’s good?”  Loved that voice!

Rasheed your act was great!!!! Especially the part with uncle dope at the amusement park, “you sent $40 on this, you know what kind of ride I an be on for $40.” LOL

To the family increase the faith, don’t give up, it’s only a test, it’s only a test!!!!!!!

u hv got to b kid’n me????????
wow!!!!
rest sheed, blessings my dude
u were/are a funny guy

I just seen your last def jam show you performed…..most talented comedian ive ever not been able too see….A voice , a person,  someone will never forget….your in a better place, beleive me….. ” thas No t me , I live on da five floor”

I am so sorry to hear that this great talent has passed away.  I first saw Rasheed on Bad Boys of Comedy. I laughed so hard and became a fan right away.  When I saw Def Jam on Sunday night I was so excited to see that he was going to be on the show and couldn’t wait to hear his act.  When I saw the dates at the end I WAS SHOCKED!!  I couldn’t believe it. 

Rasheed, you will be missed!!

i live in long beach, ms.  i don’t even know anyone he imitated, his ‘papi’ nor the “hello goodnight”, i just know this comedian was hilarious, and he made such an impact on me that i re-watched every badboys of comedy rerun they played, just looking for him! i was very happy to see his name on this weeks’ def comedy jam..  man, rasheed had the sexiest voice i EVER heard, EVER. i think he is truly the ONE black man i WOULD leave my husband for.  and i know i’d “never go back”.  breaks my heart that he’s gone.  i guess violence is not the only robber of dreams.  God bless and may your memory be eternal.

I can’t believe this cat passed on. he was such a bright and obviously well liked person. he imitated the voices perfectly. that Uncle Dope and Papi was hilarious. I was watchin Def Jam last night with my brother and right when i saw that he passed i flipped. season one bad boys and that uncle dope will stay on my mind. R.I.P. Rasheed. “Uncle Dope got Brand New Old Clothes!” Lmao

Respect from all Jamaican Massive. I love this cat man…I had the pleasure of seeing him live when he did that last Def Jam appearance when he was talking about his Uncle Dope…funny shit!

He will be missed.

rasheed you are the funniest kat out there and you will surely be missed and we love you so much…oh i know that you are keeping your papi jokes going on in heaven and the angel are crackin up as well as we when you were down here.

To his Family. Know that God calls us for a reason young and old.  I saw him on BAd BOy. I said, “that guy is funny”. Sorry to hear about his death.  Saw Def Jam and the RIP (shocking). I went to google it.  I hope his family is doing well.  God bless.

From Brooklyn to LA Dogg… I caught you at Def Jam and was blown away when they hit us with in memory of you on HBO… My heart was saddened, God Bless you and your family! Thank you for the smiles and laughs, I will always talk about the the Jamaican “that forty right there”, Uncle Dope etc.

Enjoy your new life with God…... One Love!

My heart hurts because I, like many others just learned of Rasheeds passing today. My daughter said that I had to see the last comedian because he was so funny but that he had passed away so sense I record it on Sundays I went to my room to watch and my heart broke. To his family you will remain in my prayers. To Rasheed you were and always will be a gift from god. The days and nights that you have filled with laughter will never cease thank-you for sharing your gift with me I will always love you.

I remember seeing him on previous Def Comedy Jam, but just found out about his death recently this week… He was so funny and talented and will greatly be missed!!! Uncle Dope…lol!!!

The dude was funny and will be missed.  Uncle Dope and Papi were people you knew and Rasheed made them come to life even more so.  Rest in Peace.

That Uncle Dope skit was killing me.. R.I.P. brotha…

Look at all these posts for you Rasheed! You are an authentic angel! You made such a mark on SOOO many people. Jesus, as a tear rolls down my cheek, I know you are keeping Rasheed next to you because this has got to be one of the greatest jokes ever told! How could someone with such a big presence not be here with us? May his spirit live on through his family, his wife and daughters, his friends and his fans. Uncle Dope and Papi will be with us forever! Thanks Rasheed! ~One~

R.I.P, just found out myself, you were indeed a funny brotha…..

I was very saddened to see that “Rasheed” has passed on.  He was such a great comedian and he was just really starting to take off.

RIP
Rasheed
Much Love

I CANT BELIEVE IT!!! No more Papi and Uncle Dope!!! Out of ALL the up and coming comedians right now you are the only one who stood out the most!! I am so saddened. I just thank God that Def Jam posted it because I knew nothing about it. Just dont have Jesus and his angels laughing too hard Ra, we know how you do!!!(smile)

Condolences to your family! RIP

I join the rest in sorrow for the loss of such an original sense of humor!  I was sorry to learn at the end of Def Comedy that my first opportunity to learn of Rasheed Thurmond was after he was gone.  My sympathy to his family and friends, what a treasure you have lost.

Man I was very sad to hear about this great loss.So young and so much talent…going to miss you sheed.  CSTYLE ..WESTCOAST

I am sure you are making them laugh in heaven.  Stay beautiful.

Tamarra

I, like others, just saw Rasheed on Def Comedy Jam and couldn’t believe that it said he had passed at the end of his performance. I was just thinking how cute he was and that I would love to see more from him. So sorry he doesn’t have the chance to spread his talent. R.I.P. Rasheed..

Rasheed,
I just saw your act on def comedy jam, I know you are an angel
looking down on us, thank you for your love and positive
energy.

Much love and strength to the FAMILY and friends.

Like most of the peeps here, I just found out about your passing after watching Def Comedy Jam. I was mad hype to see your performance since I haven’t seen anything of you in a minute. Shit was funny as hell!!! It was a shock and very sad to see the caption after the set. I have only seen 2 or three of your routines and can honestly say that you are definitely one of the funniest people that I has ever walked the earth.

“Hinside, mi art urt”

“Papi ain’t no snitch”
“Hello, Good night”

i saw def comedy jam this past sunday and when i saw the name Rasheed i said naw it can’t be, i have been looking all over finally to see Rasheed make it on television and when i saw his name i screamed that he made it and then i saw rest in peace at the end and could not believe it!  i had the pleasure of knowing Rasheed when he was first starting out and knew that oneday he would make it but now i can’t believe he is gone.  my heart goes out to his family they lost a good son, brother, father, newphew, cousin and wonderful and talented man.

rest in peace-you will be truly missed!

I just recently had the pleasure of seeing this wonderful comedian’s performance (on line).  I was shocked when I found out he had passed.

I truly believe he was a great talent and while it is sad that he is gone, I hope his family, friends and fans realize what a treat they got by knowing him and sharing joy and laughter with him.

My heart goes out to all who knew him.  You can be proud he left such a great legacy.

Wow.. I’m speechless. This guy was hilarious, he will truly be missed

Still in Our Hearts

WOW!!

I’m in shock I had to watch Def Comedy Jam again on Demand and pause it to make sure what I was seeing.
This was a very funny man and might I add Good looking .
He touched so many lives with laughter.
I pray the family stay strong and keep the faith.
My condolences .

I couldn’t believe my eyes, when I saw Def Comedy Jam. I was so shocked to see that he passed. My condolences to his family and friends. He will be truly missed.

Rest In Peace Rasheed

thats a damm shame that nigga was funny as hell

Someone asked me back in January if I knew the comedian who died, I said I didn’t think so. I had absolutely no idea it was the same Rasheed I saw perform in November 2007 for Rob Stapleton’s Laugh factory event in Times Square.

Tonight, Feb 21, I just watched his 2007 Def Comedy Jam performance. I’m truly saddened to hear of his passing and blessed because I got to see him perform live, shook his hand and told him how I enjoyed the show.

His sudden passing has left me wondering… Just how long I should wait before I start using his jokes. Now this is a comedian whose jokes killed.

Rasheed you were loved and will be missed… I’m going to add your videos to my myspace page in your memory. I respect you.

If you are reading this you are clearly a Rasheed fan.  And Once again I am saddened by his death. I came across some footage on youtube that i thought was absolutely hilarious.  If you’ve seen it, laugh again, if you haven’t, enjoy it, laugh hard, and then watch it again.

“CARPENTAH DEAD?!”

“My art urtin… henside my body.” 

R.I.P. Rasheed

when i heard your name on Def comedy and i was happy to see that you was going to be on to make me laugh and you did , but was sad to see that you had passed. so i got on the net to see what happen to you and this site popped up. I sit here with tears in my eyes typing this to you thinking you will never make me laugh again, i will never hear you sexy voice again here on earth but i know i be at all your shows in heaven. R.I.P and condolences to your family and friends.

I had the last episode of Def on my DVR. When I got around to watching it I almost deleted it without watching the whole thing because it wasn’t funny.  Luckily I waited until the end and got a chance to see Rasheed.  I laughed my ass off and rewinded him like 2 or 3 times.  When I finally let it get to the end and saw that he had passed I was torn up.  I couldnt believe it.  I hadnt heard of Rasheed prior to this but I wish I had.  I did a search on him and here I am.  For those that knew him I can only imagine how special he was to you. R.I.P Rasheed.  God Bless

my first time seeing his act was tonight on dcj
so funny & instantly captivating
definitely gone too soon

:(

rest in peace rasheed
condolences to the family, friends & fans who miss & love you

In this life we can not decide when we enter or when we leave we can only decide what we do when we are here Rasheed made many of us laugh while he he was here he touched so many of us ... I will see you when i get there

Definitley one of the funniest dudes I ever heard on DCJ. I caught his act on Bad Boys of Comedy and ever since then he instantly became one of my favorites.

There are only a few talented comedians out there and Rasheed was one of them.

R.I.P

He was definately a force to be reckoned with to bad he had to go so soon. Very talented.

First time I seen him on Def Comedy Jam tonight also!

i only seen one act on the def comedy jam show… i was so happy to finaly see a truthfull good comedian again.. until i seen the end of the show with the date that you died. i dont even know you but i almost had a tear. god bless you.. i hope to meet you up there one day. r.i.p

This is awful, I just couldn’t believe this when i saw it on def comedy jam.  As he was doing his set, I was thinking “I want to see in live…he is definitley going to blow up”.  The acknowlegment at the end of his set, really set me back.  My prayers go out to his family.  He brought joy to so many.

I just watched him not knowing he had passed on.I thought during his performance what a up and coming star,with a good sence of humor and me being a caucasian male I see alot of black entertainers punch fun at the whites for just being their .I didnt see anything but love for human kind period and that he didnt care about race etc he cared about making people laugh and have a good time!!!!!!!!!To his imediate loved ones and his fans I can know join you all as a instant fan ,and im sorry for your loss may god shine upon him and bring him the join as he brought all of us and god please watch over his children cause more than us funs they will miss him most god bless the parent or parent that raised such a beutiful person but god has a plan for all of us and it looked like heaven need another angel to join!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!God be with his family and loved ones forever and watch and protect over them ty lord!

I was very shocked when i seen that Rasheed Passed away I guess his mission on earth was complete God Need A Great Comic and of all the comics he Picked Rasheed I know we all will miss him but if you have faith we will meet again on the other side I have a saying and if you put it to work it will work here it is

If You Put One Foot In Yesterday And One Foot in Tomorrow All You Are Doing Is Pissing All Over Today

If we all would remember that we would Treat today as our last day Rasheed May GOD Be With You In Your Flight And he will Take Care Of Your Loved Ones He says he will never give us more than we can handle and he will always give us a escape route R.I.P

I was driving down the road on I-20 Atlanta, talking to my wife, who happens to be white, in the car yesterday. We were talking about funny people and she mention Bebe’s Kid. I explained how Robin Harris was such a young comedian and died in sleep. Last Night we taped Russel Simmon’s comedian and watch this morning. We were crushed to find out this young man had died. We recalled his voice from Bad Boy’s of Comedy and “The old hispanic with the Five dollars.”
God bless his family and young man you will be missed. R.I.P. Have a blessed weekend all.

Sincerely,

Tim and Reba McLendon

my husband and i used to go on dates at N.Y. comedy clubs, laugher is good for your soul.  when we move away from N.Y. our only connection with comedy was def jam and bad boys of comedy and we kept up with up and coming artist like rasheed . It hurt my heart to see the end of def jam and another young man struck dead way to soon.  I pray for is family.  he was the only one who had funny new jokes that I,a brooklyn breed, now living in V.A. could relate to.  he will be missed.                                    p.s. go to youtube and see the one about the carpenter. R.I.P.

His Uncle Dope bit was the shit on Def Jam…..the guy was funny without even trying.

RIP….

R.I.P kid will be rememberd

I just caught this brother’s act on Def Jam and thought he was by far the funniest cat on that stage.  I found his ‘Uncle Dope’ character to be absolutely hilarious because I too have an ‘Uncle Dope’ persona in my family.  I have no doubts that this brother was destined for something greater.  It’s a shame that he had to go so young.  RIP Rasheed…keep ‘em laughing up there in Heaven.  Hello, good night.

Wow, I just finished watching Def Comedy Jam and saw his standup.  I never laughed so hard…to the point where I have a lump in my throat.  I’m thinking, ok cool, this dude is talented and funny as hell.  Imma need to see where else he is performing.  And then I see the end of his stand up where they showed he died.  Very very sad indeed.  Such a talent.  And now I seeing his bad boy stand up…and damnit to hell if he didn’t nail those puerto ricans!  I am from Washington Heights so I know how it goes in the bodegas.  And I love and know my papis and mamis so he hit it right on the nail.  Very sad to see his life was cut short.  I wish his family, little girls and his friends the best wishes and my deepest sympathy.  He was very very talented….rest in peace.

I just saw this brother for the first time of Def Jam. He was brilliant, reminded me of so many people I’ve known. A cross between Tracy Mcgrady and a friend of mine from the Navy who’s name is Phillip. I was saddend when at the end of the show I was watching they paid tribute to him. It shook me! Life is so short. RIP…

Just wanted to say RIP my brother- may god watch over your family, you was a funny funny CAT! Gone but not forgotten- GOD BLESS THE Thurmond Family

I saw the act on dcj and when it showed the memoriam at the end, it hit me hard that he was so young and talented. may his soul r.i.p. and his friends and family keep his laughter in their spirit

I was shocked to watch def comedy jam last night and enjoy his act, then at the end they said he died recently…it really struck me, and i decided to do some research about him…..his act was really funny, and i will keep the Thurmond family in my prayers.

talented gu and i’m from brooklyn sorry that this had to happen to one of our soldiers much luv goes out to his family see you soon rasheed.

p.s i’m going to make a movie about you one day.

I just finished watching the def jam episode on demand@ didn’t know Rasheed passed.The date flashed on the screen in while he ended his set in slow motion,11-27-07.Couldn’t believe it,went to my computer and pulled up this page.So,to his family and loved ones, especially his wife and children,I said a prayer. Im sure he was special to you. Definitely a rising star,and knew how to paint a picture like all great comedians.We are here until we are gone. God bless the Thurmond family.

Just like everyone else I watched the show thinking, wow he looks good and he’s funny, I need to know more about him, and when it go to the end my heart dropped.  I was sad and didn’t even know you, you made me laugh, hard…real hard and I can still hear your voice in my head talking about “Uncle Dope”, I bet you were a winner!

WOW!!! just got the news my fav. comedian passed. after i got over the shock i had to find out for myself coz i still didnt believe…. this is sad, very sad…  Rasheed had an awesome performance in Nassau, Bahamas at our Top Shotter’s Restaurant, he had the crowd near tears with laughter and i vowed that whenever he was in town again i would definitely be there to see him….  Rest in Peace King…. u will be greatly missed!

Damn rasheed why so early man when i found out it was heart breaking i first seen your act on badboys of comedy u was the funy dude that did uncle dope and mr. raveria that was funy ass hell no one has ever made my gut hurt like that
you damn im goin to miss that r.i.p rasheed.

Thanks for another moment of laughter by just keeping it real.

I was told of your passing and couldn’t believe it until visiting this site.Just as another said before…..GOD needed laughter in heaven. R.I.P

I’ve seen him on TV before and thought he was hilarious. Then, I saw a recent Def Comedy where they ran his dates across the bottom and I realized he passed away. I have never ever looked up someone online after seeing something like that. But this guy touched me. He was truly gifted and I am shocked and saddened that he’s no longer with us. God bless his family with peace and the knowledge, he touched the world.

You were a funny brotha.  II can always tell when someone is a good person, you seemed like a good person.  I’m sure I’ll see you in the comedy clubs up there!  We probably need to keep the cussin to a minimum, but that’s cool - we’ll have a good time anyway.    Peace

RASHEED THURMOND you are the best the 1st time i saw you, you had me lmfatfo and you still have me pissing my pants… may you R.I.P my nig god bless you

Rasheed, man I was just getting to love you!!!!!!!!

YOUR HUMOR WILL BE MISSED DEARLY,YOU DID GREAT THINGS ON EARTH BUT GOD WANTED YOU HOME.

DARN TALK ABOUT UNLIMITED TIME.

R.I.P. GOD BLESS TO YOUR FAMILY

R.I.P. Rasheed, God Bless your Family.Truth comedy is difficult to consistently be funny, state to state, region to region, Rasheed had people laughing their asses off.

          A fellow comedian

I had the pleasure of seeing Rasheed for the first time yesterday. I HOLLERED…......... Now I am at work watching it over and over and over and over and over until I leave work tomorrow… The absolute funniest, sexiest, captivating voice I have ever heard. The JAMAICANS skit, had me on the floor. I actually visualized each scene he did. You can see him going in the store and a Jamaican store clerk comes out… I can see it.. COMEDY AT ITS BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REST IN PEACE.. .TO YOU!!!! GRACE & PEACE TO YOUR FAMILY..

Juice..

God Bless You and Your Family. Some people are blessed with an ora and gift that touches many. Your talent was comedy and you brought much laughter and joy into the lives of many. I was shocked & hurt to hear about the passing of your death. I am truly a fan. Hope to meet you in another life so that you may bring more laughter & light to my world once again. REST IN PEACE “PAPI”...

Diandra Michelle…

I was planning on going to your shows one of theses days but sadly you are no longer with us. I pray for you and your family and hopefully we will get together at a different place and time.
RIP.

RIP i love his family, and to the familyhe will be truly missed!

To the Family and Friends of Rasheed Thurmond,

First I would like to pray that God be a comforter to you during your grieving time Matthew ch5 verse 4. My husband and I saw his act a couple of years ago, and I threatened my husband not to ever erase my dvr. Like every one else shock came at the end of the DCJ showing that Rasheed had passed. Living in VA but being from NY we could appreciate the cat on the bread and with my husband being Jamaican (Hello Good Night).Uncle Dope(off the charts)!!! Having HAD breast cancer,at the age of 32, I strongly urge everyone young and old to take life seriously, go to the doctor, eat organic, and most of all give your life to God (live right according to the bible) it is not how u start, but I you finish and who you belong to when u finish (heaven or hell) choose yea this day who u will serve. Every man or woman must give an account for himself!!!

Respectfully submitted to all that read this site
Love Tanaisha from Queens NY 2 VA

It was awfully shocking and saddening to find out you had passed, immediately after the “Uncle Dope” performance had aired on Def Comedy Jam. I really was taken back. I really enjoyed not only that performance, but the Bad Boys of Comedy act has to be one of my all-time favorites. I was looking foward to seeing you perform live.

I’m glad to see so many other people recognized your talents. I thought you we’re the next best thing. Maybe it’s that ol’Brooklyn pride, but although I didn’t know you personally, I was definately proud to see you rock the crowd.

I would like to send my Condolences to the Thurmond Family..And Rasheed you will be remembered.

I was in shock when I saw the RIP after your Def Comedy Jam performance. I saw you perform at 88 Keys in Woodbridge, NJ. You rocked the stage then as well as the other time I saw you in person in Orange,NJ. I WAS IN STITCHES LAUGHING AT YOUR FUNNY ASS! LOLOLOL You will be missed on the comedy scene. They don’t make comedians like you everyday.

RIP

sad story, may he rest in peace my reguards to his family & friends. He was a funny funny man on his way to the top. I just finished watching one of his acts up on stage in chicago and im still laughing… God Bless… Papi aint no snitch…  Luv Ms.Puerto Rico

Wow, I know that some of our soldiers have to leave us, but when it happens to one that is so very talented we question it. Jehovah, has a plan for us all, and sometimes it may seem to be the wrong time but he does know best. Brother Rasheed, was chosen now because Jehovah needs him with him, hia preaence is still amongst us. His voice,his smile, and the humor that he shared with all of us.To the Thurmond Family, My condolences goes out to you, and may Jehovah continue to bless you all.

I send my condolences to your family. You were a favorite comic of mine. I was digging everything about you, then to hear you had passed away…..WOW is all that I could say.

Sad to see that your gone, this world needs your comic relief soooo bad but im glad to say that u made me and all my friends laugh and it is TRUELY sad to see to see that your gone…

My husband and I had the pleasure of listening to this young man 2nite.  Very talented and very funny. To his family, know that the devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy.  Keep trusting in God and know that He’s still in charge,and will heal your heavy hearts.

R.I.P.

Gone but not forgotten. (LOL)laugh out loud with your biggest fan, THE LORD.  May God truely bless your family in their time of grief

They say never judge a book by its cover. When you see Rasheed he looks laid back. Who knew he would be so naturally funny. R.I.P Uncle Dope.

You’ve brought joy to the world through your comical ways.  May God have mercy on your soul and bless your family.  We Will Miss You!

I just heard of Rasheed so This sucks on so many levels for me talkin bout uncle dope i pissed my pants just a little bit talk about comedic genius I didnt know rasheed but i cried he always takes the good ones too soon god bless you

just happened to hear the news and it hurt me like if it was a brother just passed. even though i never got the opportunity to have a conversation with that brother he touched me comically. im glad i did see hes act live, laughing is a beautiful and a necessary thing and you gave us that ONE LOVE MY HOMIE

I saw the “Papi” skit before and loved how he got us.  He got us Boricua’s down!  Anybody that couldl understand people that much was somebody special.  This past weekend I saw a skit where he’s talking about his uncle and how the uncle threatens to beat you.  Once again!  I was amazed at how he could identify so closely with a person and touch masses.  RIP Rasheed!

RIP

Curacao also enjoyed your Performances.

Yo… U are missed I am goin to cop your dvd…. not to mention bookmark your myspace page.. I know you got heaven in constant laughter…

Continued Prayers to the Thurmond Family….

Devout Fan,

YOu know, we were from the same area and grew up with the same mutual friends, it hurts me to watch the performance and I was happy to see my Dudemake it…
I remember his dream and he lived it, even though it was short- I miss the Big Homie,

ENY Ridah all the way, I have a Uncle Dope in my family and that will be a classic, as well as the Papi Joint,

R.I.P….Love From Holland!

I’m damn f**ked up right now. Saw Rasheed’s Bad Boys of Comedy act, blew me away. Watch that video like every week. Been happy as hell to bump into his def jam act on YouTube, just to find out he passed away.
Rest In Peace, bro.

I guess the good ones are to good to stay here.
R.I.P MAnny UK

Hi potential was endless…super stardome a given for this brother.. so much personality, so much life, seems like the wrong candidate to be taken from this world,, a constant reminder that we dont control the next breath.. death is indiscriminate..after watching him, i am hungry for the next laugh, feeding off his words. The “biggie” of comedy..

Only the good die Young!! U were great. Rasheed held me down for a few months hosting comedy in a little spot in bed-stuy I owned called THE BULLPEN on fulton st. We were packed every wednesday up those stairs…lol. anytime after that when ever I needed him to perform he would come thru for me. U will be missed

“PAPI GIVE ME FIVE DOLLARS” U’LL B MISSED BIG PIMP

i’ve never seen you before till 7 oclock this morning and i must say you were very talented.just know that god loves you and everything happends for a reason.rip

i never meet you but i did find out who you were when when i was on youtube looking up katt williams…I was folding clothes and just laughing at how honest ya impersonation were…then i saw a clip that said R.I.P. It made me think of my lil brother/friend that just passed. He was only 15. So i will say the Good Ones truly do die young, but the Great Ones never die and you two spirits still are very alive!

One down six million to go.

Rest in Peace brother, we ll miss you and the times you made us laugh

I miss you alot big bro,i still remember that night at the hospital and it still bothers me,i really dont how to say it in words my dude, i cry for you everytime you pop up in my head im gonna make you proud my nigg just cotinue to carry me to the top and i got you from there.i love you my brother and i’ll see you when i get there

Kalid, be strong my brother, you will survive this trsgedy. I am sorry for your loss but you have to move forward. Don’t take that in a disrespectful way, but you have to grow stronger. Your brother was a tallent that doesn’t come around often. He made us all laugh and will be missed by all of us. Keep your head up and you will be ok my friend. ONE

I just saw Def Comedy Jam.. he had me rollin with Uncle Dope!!!!! “bitch you know what kinda ride i coulda been on for 45 dollas?”

R.I.P I know you in heaven makin em laugh.. and makin a whole lot mo money for it

RIP to the greatest comedian ever, Uncle Dope lol

Missing you bad brother!  I still cry alot, crying right now in my office at work.  I’m still learning how to let go but it’s so hard!  I cried and worried myself so bad that I had a heart attack but thanks to God’s Grace & Mercy, he gave me another chance to live a new life.  I have to let go for my health, the kids, family, and friends.  Love You-Not Even Death can keep us apart.  You remain in my mind, heart, spirit and soul.  Rest on Brother-R.I.P
Love Always
Tah

Why cat always sleep on the bread?
I just found out today that he passed last year.. it’s hurts my face and makes me cry man. He had the voice and he had “it” to me, he will be missed even if we just found out.

First and foremost I would like to send my condolences to the family.  I met Ra for the first time years ago when he did shows in CT and we stayed in touch…whenever you came to town or when you were in the area me and my peeps would make sure that we would come see you because you were the funniest man around with original material.. I could count on gettin a gut busting laugh at your shows…I know you are probably in heaven now smiling saying remember that limo trip when we both got sick from partying too much in Boston, if I am not mistaken Smokey was with us…my heart hurts (like dude in your joke ...“Carpenter”...the only difference is I knew your Real Name…and how to get in touch) to know that you are no longer with us, but you will always be in my heart..FOREVER!  I love you Brooklyn! And I know you are keeping them laughing in heavan…C you when I see you.  Forever your number 1 fan from CT…The Goddess

Respect…. RIP love, Holland, rulywaka

ITS SUCH A SHAME THAT HE HAD TO GO SO SOON. . .HE WAS AN EXTREMELY TALENTED COMEDIAN. I SAW HIM DO A BIT AT THE NEYO CONCERT IN THE BX. HE WAS AMAZING. HE HAD ME IN TEARS. I REMEMBER HIM SAYIN NEYO DOWNSTAIRS BRUSHIN HIS HAIR. I WAS CRACKIN UP BECAUSE NEYO DOESNT HAVE ANY HAIR!!BUT RASHEED WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY FAMILY AND HIS FANS !!

Damn, Im so surprised at this. I didn’t hear this until today. Im very sadden by your loss; well you’re not really lost, just placed in a different space. You were quite talented my friend….Continue making them laugh in that new world…. Be blessed infinity!!!!!!!

wow main i diddent kno about thiz until now im so sorry to hear this u will be missed be sure of that

This is definitely some bogus material…This dude knew how to throw down some jokes with the best of em’...A funny man indeed, and surely he will live on in the hearts of millions…RIP my dude…

Rasheed: “How come everytime I come in here, the cat sleepin on da bread?”

Mr. Rivera: “I don know, he live there!!”

I just found out while watching an old rerun of DCJ.  Rasheed was definitely a brilliant comedian…his material was fresh and his delivery was tight.  This is so sad…His laughter will live on for me always.

RIP Rasheed

I am greatly sadden by hearing the death of this comedian that could of been another Kings of Comedy.  In the pass week I have heard of Bernie Mac death and now this.  The Lord needs comedians too, so laugh on, laugh on, your work was done.  I know it has been over a year but you are still funny.  May your family continue to be be bless with your memories because you still live on.  May God Bless a loving fan.

“Wat the blootclaat man. Mi neva know seh di comedian dead.”  Rasheed was the funniest ever. Most Jamaicans dont like hearin people poke fun at us but for Rasheed we made an exception. You are the man and i know yuh boy Trevor will miss you. Rest in peace Rasheed and keep tellin those ‘New Brand’ jokes wherever you are. Love and respect to the ‘Comedian’.

rest in peace bro…
u was a great entertainer and a great person…

I am from East Newyork ( Pine Street)My girl from high school told me about this dude Rasheed which was funny as hell. So being the fellow brooklyn girl that I am, I looked him up. Man I was cracking up at the clips. His spanish jokes was so on point…I was in tears. being the panamanian that I am I could relate. to his little girls and their mom my prayers are with you…........Be Blessed.

I just found out that Rasheed died I didn’t even know that he passed away!!!!!!!!! He was a funny dude, R.I.P you will be missed!!!!!

Rasheed when i first sawur stand up it had be rollin on da floor laughin then when i saw the uncle dope omg i thought of u n still think ofu as one of the funniest talented comedians around u will be missed alot n i know ur makin ppl laugh in heaven..

I just caught Rasheed’s act on Def Comedy Jam. His uncle dope stories made me laugh out loud. I thought at the time this guy has talent and is going to a big star. I was sad to see he passed away. May God bless his soul.

Damn, I am from the West Indies, Trinidad to be exact and we say hello, goodnight too…LOL, man this brother is so funny…just caught the Def Comedy joint and didn’t know you were gone brother, God bless your daughters and your family…R.I.P!

So, so sad.

Made me mad when I read he is no longer with us.

Was just trawling YouTube watching some Def Jam comedy and happened apon some of his brilliant performances.

You could tell he was different by the way he approached the mic like he was just talking to someone he knew.

Life is not fair.

R.I.P. “The Truth”

I just watched the clip and you are one funny guy…I was cracking up at the jokes. So sad to know that I just found your comedy and then to hear you are gone. I pray you are in heaven making everyone laugh and my condolences to the family.

ÖZSÖYLER ?N?AAT

Hey Brother!  Tears are out of control once again, missing you man for real.  I thought I was gonna be stronger than I am right now but you know I’ve always been the cry baby of the family.  Damn duke sometimes it feel like you are going to call me or knock on my door any moment.  When I seen you in the casket, I was like nah that ain’t my brother, Duke; swear it looked nothing like you but God works things out for everybody in different ways because when I think about it, if you would have looked just liked yourself, God knows what my condition would have been then or now.  I can’t seem to let go Duke and it hurts like hell.  Everybody say in due time I will heal but Duke when you died, it left me as a shell, I lost my brother, my protector, the love of my life, my strong hold, my happiness and the list never stops Duke.  I try to keep you out my mind because the very thought of you makes me cry and I can’t stop when it starts.  Damn Duke; if I had the blessing of Mary in the bible; I would beg Jesus to bring my brother back just like he did for Lazarus but if I continue to live my life right, I see you and dad in heaven.  Till then Rest on Brother!  Have your rest and know brother I am out to fulfill every dream that makes life for me so special and I got you to thank for that.  Even though you died young, Brother you lived your dream and proved that dreams really do come true so you inspire me in life and death.
  Luv you always-Tahirah Thurmond

Just keep trying. I know it’s hard. I can’t front, I don’t know what you feel but you MUST move forward for him, your family, for everyone. I am VERY sorry that you are suffering like this. I wish there was more that I could do. Just try to stay strong.

yo dats f**kd boie he dun even look FAT
mutha natur is a muthaf**ka kno wat im sayin

I had NO idea Rasheed was gone.  This has really been shocking to me. So unlike most my grief just begins.  Rasheed was so amazing.  His countless jokes would brighten up the most dismal day.  I had been sitting here needing a pick me up because I was having toughts of my mother who passed away last year from cancer. I automatically thought of Rasheed’s comical greatness.  My mom always said when you smile the world smile with you.  Rasheed gave this world something to smile about until eternity.  RIP

I was just given a copy of the latest Def Comedy Jam and saw this guy Rasheed come on and thought, “hey! This brother is hotttt!”  And as I listened and laughed my ars* off at his ‘Uncle Dope’ I thought, I cannot wait to see more of this guy. And then at the end of his performance, I saw the tribute and burst into tears - I could not believe it!  There aren’t many comedians who can keep me hooked to the screen and laughing out loud but Rasheed did and he looked like such a lovely person to know - it is such a shame.  My prayers go out to his family and like others have already said, God needs a good laugh too!  Stay blessed Rasheed - R.I.P

Rasheed Thurmond Many Blessing’s to you and your family Rasheed Thurmond although i never met you you made lots of laughter in My Family’s lives we thank you now and forever more,Definitely a tragic loss.
You Will Be Missed Lord Bless You !!!!!!!!

We all lose the ones we love at one time or another be strong and carry the love forever don’t let your brothers death hold you down make him proud in every aspect of your life that’s what he would of wanted. It is hard but now you got a angel that angel is DUKE BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY a friend.    .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Heaven is laughing now. you are doing what you do best up there.

This makes me so sad.  So much talent.  This guy was going to make it big.  I had a heart attack in 2007, was rush to the hospital and was in intensive care for over a week. With God’s grace I’m doing okay.  R.I.P. my brother.  You have done what we all must do, meet our maker.  God bless your family, friends and fans.  You will be missed.

Incredible talent.
RIP

I’m a super NEW comedian who was searching for inspiration the night before my first show last friday, don’t know how I got to Rasheed’s videos but I can honestly say when I found them I believe they changed my life… Everything happens for a reason.

Hello! bedcded interesting bedcded site! I’m really like it! Very, very bedcded good!

Tonight, I cry for you.  Five years later feels like yesterday.  I told God I have acceptance but I’m not sure about healing.  When you heal, the pain goes away, despite the scars.  Tonight, I cry for you, a million tears.I just wish upon a billion star, but it is what is is.  I miss you man, my son miss you man.  He looks just like you and I just wish brother.  I recognize that I have acceptance but I continously pray for healing.  I cry a lifetime of tears for you.  I just wish brother this was a bad dream that I wake up from.  I just wish brother, especially tonight.  I miss you but more I want you to rest in peace.  Khalid hurts so bad and I know the feeling.  I just wish brother.  I am praying to God for healing and acceptance.  I got acceptance but healing is hard.  I cry at the thought of you but it’s all good cause I know God makes no mistakes.  You rest on brother, you rest on.  I just wish brother..I just wish…R.I.P

my son Miguel, then 16 always talk about you and how funny your gig was. it wasn’t til i saw by myself that i saw the genius of your comedy, made me laugh when i was going thru hard times, i know they wanted in heaven to have a good laugh R.I.P

I was just looking at youtube relaxing when I seen a guy named rasheed and he was sooooooo funny i then began looking for all of his bet clips after about the 4th video i saw R.I.P. Rasheed I got so emotional because he was so talented & I saw a comment above when somebody said he had “IT”...that is exactly what I thought…I give my condolences to Rasheed’s family and I know that they are proud to have known and loved him….To his sister Tahirah I have read your thoughts and I know how you feel please keep writing about him and expressing your feelings you have no idea how many people you are helping that are going through the same thing GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY…..Mz Leea 7-16-2013

Oh Wow!!! I just saw one of his clips that Tyrese (the singer) posted on FB and I thought it was so funny that I was going to go on YouTube and look at more. Before he clip finished I noticed that someone commented on the post and said R.I.P. Rasheed. I immediately googled him and landed on this site. Gone Way Too Soon!!!

Gone way too soon, I did the same thing that the person in the comment above did. Rest Easy and keep smiling. Very Talented young man.

Heaven is too damm GREEDY, why always the good die young?!!! RIP Rasheed!

You were an amazingly talented brother. RIP!

Tears come to my eyes to see your stand up and know although you are not here you can still make others laugh. God blesd your family. Amen & Amen!Shslon!

2014; October 13, 2014 is the first time I heard of Rasheed after watching Diddy’s Bad Boy of Comedy on Netflix.  I knew immediately that this man was a star.  Today, October 14, I eagerly Googled his name to see if there were other videos. I was eager to see other videos because his talent is real.  I am heartbroken—- truly—- to learn that he passed away in 2007! What a shame.  To his family, I say God bless you all.  You lost a gem.  RIP Rasheed!

RIP Rasheed man, once in a lifetime talent gone too soon. Man this cat was funny as hell. rest easy
