Dollas Funeral in Pictures
Dolla’s brother, rapper Will “Scrapp DeLeon” Robinson said Dolla did not fear death, Dolla wanted people to wear white and celebrate his life at his funeral. Thank you to peach-lips.com for sharing the following:
During Saturday’s service, Scrapp DeLeon stood at the front with close friends and family, including DJ Shabazz, who was with Dolla at the time of his death, and reflected on his brother’s family life and path to fame.
“It was never me or I; it was we, us and they,” Robinson said of Dolla, who was signed to singer Akon’s record label. “He put other people in front of himself.”
He shared the text message he sent to his brother after his death, including this sentiment:
“My big brother has died, but I gained a bigger angel. I always knew you were too good to be here.”
Many Hip Hop Spy visitors have asked about Dolla’s funeral and requested pictures. At your request, we bring you Mr. Roderick Anthony Burton II’s final story in pictures:
















Rest in Peace man – your death cut short such a promising life. We pray your tragedy will open some eyes and help spare others from such senseless violence.
And finally, honor Dolla by meditating on his own truth:
do not fear death but celebrate life





damn he was so talented he had alot to bring to the industry. a evil person had to take him out of the world he was beginning a journey of his lifetime. fans and family ask why so soon he wasnt ready to go.

I love u dolla
I just found out 4 days ago. This is a shock. I did not hear much about it on the radio or anything. I was listening to his song on youtube and saw R.I.P all over the page. I looked it up on yahoo and it turned out to be true. I had to see it to believe it. I found this page and burst out in tears. To see a son, brother, cousin, friend in a casket like that can tear anyone up no matter who you are. Please Black America stop the violence. What do we get out of all the violence, DEATH AND SORROW. Please pray before you pull the trigger or get into altercations. They are not worth the pain.

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE FAMILY. THE GOOD DO DIE YOUNG AND IT AMAZES ME THAT WHEN ITS OUR TIME WE KNOW AND FEEL IT. FOR HIM TO RAP ABOUT IT HE KNEW. GOD ONLY TAKES THE ONES HE FEEL IS READY AND HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE. IM SURE IF HE HAD BEEN LEFT HERE LONGER HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST. R I P DOLLA
That is so sad that he had to die so young. Why do people treat each other the way that they do. I no how it feels to loose a loved one to violence my brother was killed March 16th,2009 by his suppose to be god brother. It just shows you that god is on his way back. And for all the people out there thats solving there problems with a gun I pray for you cause you dont care about your self and your life doesnt mean the next person doesnt. Rest in peace “Dolla” God has a good angel aboard….
My heart goes out to your whole family.When I heard tha you got shot it was like dam,so young,so talented that God blessed all of your true #1 fans to hear the sweet sweet sound of one of his loyal angel voice that he has blessed this world hear with grace.For the person or persons responsible for his death”I want you to know that,you cannot hide from God”I also want you to know that this is the work of a Coward and not a Real Man this is to the HATERS WHO did this an weren’t man enough to fight.KNOW DAT REAL NIGGAZ PUT UP DEUCES AN NOT GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!R.I.P IN PEACE MY BROTHA FROM ANOTHER MOTHER!!!! WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER $$$$ DOLLA $$$$DOLLA$$$$A.K.A GLORIA M.FROM TENN A KEY$$$$BLACKVILLE BABY****GOD BLESS U DOLLA

This hurts soo bad i cannot stop the tears from falling. Ive bbeen crying everyday since the day i found out he passed away. Ima miss this man soo much he had such great potential and could have done many more great things. All we have left now is memories and i pray everyday that we contiue to make his life live on in this life. It brings great jjoy to me when i see people making fan pages for him and displaying his pictures and music on thier pages. i pray that time does not change those things. Roderick was a great man and will always be remebered for his profound talent and joyous, caring and huge heart. He was a spirtual man and thanked God for his accomplishments. I know that he is in a better place but it still hurts i wish everyday that i wake up that this is all a dream but its not. and reality is that this is the fate that we all withold one dayy. I just wish he didnt have to go out this way. I feel that we all instead of bashing Aubrey Berry should instead pray for him because obviously he is a very angry and cold hearted man that has left alot of people in tears. I pray that one day he wakes up and realizes what a mistake he has made and asks forgiveness. Roddy was a great man who will never be forgotten, along with the other thousands of people who’s lives were ended because of senseless problems. We see so many young talented men’s lives being cut to short such as tupac, and Big. all of these people couldve done great things. We know they are still living their life after death in a better place where violence, hatred,and unjust crimes have been eliminated. Until we meet again Dolla…R.I.P. baby boyy.!

RIP Dolla , take care of yourself up there . Regards to your family, friends , loved ones … Seems like you were a great guy because from what Im reading alot of people are cool and down with you & loved you. Its really sad & so unfortunate you had to go out like that, I know you were going to be an amazing addition to the game . I cant even look at those pictures without crying man. It doesnt make sense to see you in that coffin man. And I like how everybody’s wearing white for you, it just looks so peaceful and heaven-like, which is is how the place you’re at now must be too. I lost an aunt earlier this year and that was the craziest saddest thing I’ve ever had to go through, and I get the same feeling when I think about you being gone . Y’all are in a better place though .
mannn its f**ked up what happened to you i wish people could have come to relize that it anit nothing worth taking someone’s life because at the end you hurt more people than imaged and its not even worth it Dolla you will be miissed by many and forgotten by none you were something, someone and everyone respected you to the fullest R.I.P i hope you had a wonderful life and lived it to the fullest cause you never know whats gonna happen
