In 1985 we got to witness Doug E. Fresh (52) and Slick Rick (54) made hip hop history when they spit the lyrics, “La-di-da-di, we like to party/We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody, we’re..Just some men that’s on the mic/ And when we rock up on the mic we rock the mic (Right).” Little did we know at that time, that we decades later, we’d be introduced to Doug E.’s six sons, who have grown up to witness first-hand, the impact he’s had on our lives. Now, Doug E. is letting them know just how impactful they were to his life and growth as a man as well.
Doug E. Fresh’s Message About Sons…
Doug E. Fresh- “When I think of Father’s Day, I always reflect on my role as a leader, teacher, protector, & provider for my 6 boys! I often wonder if I should’ve done less or more throughout my journey as a father,” wrote Doug E. Fresh. “Throughout my career, my greatest desire was that they saw me as the worlds greatest FATHER! I’ve come to realize that just as my father wasn’t perfect, neither am I , & neither will my sons be.”
He continued:
“Perfect is an unreasonable expectation for humans, but patience is a key component to never giving up as father, as a man! They’ve never been too far away throughout my entire career , & Im blessed to continue to have my sons & father by my side! To have a great support system & great moms to balance me as a parent 🙏🏾
My heart hopes that we will continue a generation of men who love hard, & do our best to be the best!
That we continue the legacy of greatness in our own unique way! … God annointed & appointed us KINGS everyday!!! #fathersday #ProudFather #Fresh6 #MySeeds #HarlemBoys #iamFresh
