Fans have been paying respect to Archie after his passing, including NFL pro Robert Griffin III, who calls his hit song "the greatest Game Day anthem ever." There's locker room video of high school football players singing "We Ready" as inspiration.
The song was so popular, the NFL even used it in an ad.
Archie clearly touched a nerve, because social media is filling up with tributes.
Archie was 37.
RIP
