Lovebug Starski's musical influence has lived on through many formats. He was one of the rappers who got hip hop on the radio, not just on the streets. Starski was also one of the first to DJ and rap at the same time. He truly was a trailblazer for the hip hop scene. Through the 70s until his death, Starski did what he loved and influenced many others through his talent.

The article was written by Jon Caramanica on February 9th. It is about a negative subject, but is written in a way of remembrance rather than mourning. It tells Lovebug Starski's story of success while including his struggles with drugs and incarceration. It is a real look into the life of a legend, but also a father and granddad. The article is very humanizing.
