Such a waste. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious five were a great 80's group

Oh man, it's great to see that one of the members from rap's first super group has not been forgotten. He was smooth as butter, and who could forget how he wrapped up the end of ''Freedom''? I hated that he went out the way he did, but I guess he was a casualty of the times. RIP Cool Keith The Cowboy

i grew up with robert when he lived on southern blvd and 179th street in the bx. and went to castle hill j.h.s with him i was shocked when i found out he died ( i was in germany) he was a good kid and belongs in the hall of fame for his efforts to the industry. R.I.P Robert Keith Wiggins!

I Had The Pleasure Of Working With Cowbow (And The Furious 5).

I Recorded/Mixed For Him In The Studio As Well As Toured. He Was A Real Kool Brother.

I Understand His Death To Be Of Different Causes But That Does Not Matter.

It's Sad to Lose Him At Such A Young Age.

God Bless.

I don't know how many times i went back to back with the faded out verse at the end of Freedom. I wish that he was still here to get what he deserves. R.I.P my dude! Oh yeah that is not Cowboy in the pic. Great gesture anyway. I believe that is EZ Mike...one

I know Keith passed away quite a while ago, but since I've been listening to allot of old Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five albums lately he's been on my mind.

I saw Keith with Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five live in San Francisco and in Oakland (I believe) at the New York Fresh Festival, and will always appreciate his talent and smooth voice.

RIP Cowboy! You will not be forgotten.
