Inspired by our friends at Hip Hop Is Read and Oscar Peterson’s recent passing, here’s a tribute to all the great artists we lost in 2007. Musicians, writers, directors, and more. This isn’t everyone who died in ‘07 (you can view that list here), just those that affected us at ML specifically.

Let us know who you are mourning in the comments. Mourn with us.

Rest In Peace, my friends. We mourn:
