Tributes to Gangsta Boo:
Otto Von Biz Markie tweeted,
RIP Gangsta Boo. The first lady of Southern rap, a pioneer w/ mesmerizing get-money bounce, and a ubiquitous influence since she kicked Satanic verses at 15 on “Mystic Stylez.” Boo defined Memphis rap as much as anyone in Three 6, and never spit a bad verse. Gone far too soon.
Andrew Barber tweeted,
Rest In Peace Gangsta Boo The first lady of Three 6 Mafia. An incredible artist who could ride a beat like no other & transcended generations in a fickle business. Her solo debut ‘Enquiring Minds’ remains one of the best of the Hypnotize Minds canon. Peace & love to her family.
