    "comment": "As passionate as Nasty-Nes was about spreading the hip-hop gospel, the proud Seattleite and die-hard Bruce Lee fan was an even stauncher advocate for Seattle music, playing local artists like Sir Mix-A-Lot and the Emerald Street Boys, who were regarded as the first prominent rap group in Seattle. (Rodriguez even served as the group’s official DJ for a spell.) Initially, all that local love was against his bosses’ wishes, said Sir Mix-A-Lot. Until all the requests started rolling in.\n\n“If it wasn’t for him, there would be no Mix-A-Lot, I can tell you that,” Mix said.",
