Endemic Emerald, Skanks the Rap Marty and Daddie Notch pay homage in ‘Legends Live Forever’ video.
New video lifted from the Rapsploitation album by Endemic Emerald & Skanks the Rap Martyr. Legends live forever is a touching tribute to NYC basketball Legend James “Stixx” Williams. Williams, known to everyone as Stixx, was 6-foot-8, blessed with a lean frame and a sweet lefty stroke, and he scored easily enough on more than one N.B.A. star in the city’s summer leagues.
“It was family and basketball: I don’t think he cared for anything else,†said his wife, Ranate Williams who gives a heartfelt intro to the video. Stixx was a mentor to dozens of young black basketball players in New York, friend to N.B.A. stars like the Chicago Bulls’ Taj Gibson and to troubled teenagers in the juvenile detention centre where he worked as a counsellor. Featured in the cut is Daddie Notch, cousin to Stixx and member of Bankai Fam.
