It’s been a whole month since Stack Bundles was murdered, we haven’t forgotten.

It looks like the murderer has been caught…which is pretty impressive considering how often killers of rappers get caught.

Per MTV:

A suspect in the shooting of two New York City police officers was fingered by an informant as the shooter in the killing of Jim Jones associate Stack Bundles last month, police confirmed to MTV News on Thursday morning (July 12). According to New York’s Daily News, Lee Woods, 29, was arrested by authorities as the getaway driver in Monday’s cop shootings, along with Dexter Bostick and Robert Ellis. The paper said that when Woods was arrested on Tuesday, a source close to the investigation singled him out as the rapper’s killer.

After Stack was gunned down we saw a bunch of mp3 tributes on the internets.But mostly were filled with Dipset-era Stack material. It was as if dude wasn’t putting out hot verses on mixtapes years before he got down with Dipset. Anyway we hit up mixtape aficionado (and Beat Drop contributor) KoldShadow for his top pre-dipset Stack. Here is what we got…

Last thing, a late pass on this please, but it looks like Lupe Fiasco & Stacks were close..

from OKP Message Boards Last month:

“My Dear Friend…it hurt so much to wake up to this…So sad…I’ve watched from the humble beginnings…when he used to live with me out in Chicago we rocked together everyday…He’d write rhymes in one room and I’d be writing rhymes in the other…He was there with me through many a milestone in my life , the up’s and the downs, and I was so proud and happy to see him acheive success in his life at what he loved…Hip-Hop…Stacks was the first person that was signed to 1st&15th way back when it first started FYI…Even beyond that I considered Stacks family…My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends in this time of sadness…We all lost a Good Friend today…But He wont be forgotten…May God have mercy on his soul, Forgive him for his sins in this Life, and watch over him in the next…

Love my nigga, I only shed tears for a few and I shed tears for you…

Sincerely, Lupe Fiasco”
