I just read the news on Spike Lee's Facebook page today and Bill was 62 years old. Spike didn't say how he died and he died in Pittsburgh which is where Bill was from. Spike got a picture of him as Radio Raheem from Do The Right Thing movie on Facebook. That was a classic character for Bill and I love his classic scene in the store when he argued with Asian store owners about batteries for his radio. He said D muthafucka D LOL. Learn to speak English first alright LOL. Asian guy's wife said how many you take? Bill said 20 muthafucka 20 LOL. Asian guy said muthafuck you LOL. Bill said muthafuck me huh? You alright man, you alright LOL. Just gimme the fucking batteries LOL. D fucking batteries LOL. What's the date on them? The fucking date. Can you speak English? LOL. Asian guy said their Marcha LOL. Bill said Marcha? LOL. It's March muthafucka March LOL. Is that 20 in the bag? Naw man take them shits out and count them again LOL. Asian guy said muthafuck LOL. This scene was played at the end of Ice Cube's Horny Little Devil song on Death Certificate album. Bill also was in Spike Lee, Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson and Wesley Snipes Mo Better Blues movie and he was in the classic New Jack City movie. RIP Bill. He was also in Spike, Tisha Campbell and Larry Fishburne's School Daze movie.
