Michigan State football should bring back ‘Type of Way’ to honor Rich Homie Quan, Rose Bowl season

Opinion: Michigan State football should bring back ‘Type of Way’ to honor Rich Homie Quan, Rose Bowl season

On Thursday, Michigan State football lost a beloved member of the 2014 Rose Bowl game victory over Stanford when rapper Rich Homie Quan passed away tragically at the age of 34.

I have seen a number of Spartans who were at the school back in 2013-14 take to social media to share their memories about that season, Rich Homie Quan, and the importance of his song ‘Type of Way’ for that season.

In my opinion, Michigan State should bring back ‘Type of Way’ as a permanent fixture in Spartan Stadium for football games moving forward to remember the life of Rich Homie Quan, and celebrate the best team of the Mark Dantonio era.

We have already seen MSU bring back ‘Thunderstruck’ for their entrance song, I think it would be great to find a time to play ‘Type of Way’ during games, or after victories, to remember arguably the best season of the modern MSU football team.

We saw the last regime under Mel Tucker try to install ‘Swag Surfing’ as the new song for the football team, but I think Type of Way has so much earned mythology in the MSU community, it just makes sense to use it, and with the passing of Rich Homie Quan, it would be fantastic way to pay tribute to a man who embraced Michigan State.

Rapper Rich Homie Quan, who had role in 2014 Rose Bowl, passes away at age 34

Rapper Rich Homie Quan, who was on the sidelines for MSU’s 2014 Rose Bowl win, tragically passed away at the age of 34

Back in 2013, one of the biggest songs in the world was Type of Way by rapper Rich Homie Quan. The song became the anthem of the 2013-14 Michigan State football team, especially in their postgame celebrations. It became such a big part of the team, they actually flew Rich Homie Quan out for their 2014 Rose Bowl win over Stanford.

Unfortunately, Rich Homie Quan tragically passed away this week at the age of 34. The cause of death is suspected to be from a drug overdose.

For those who were following the team at the time, Rich Homie Quan will always be a part of the history of MSU in one of the most cherished victories of the Mark Dantonio era.
