Chillin in Paradise

One of the centerpieces of the controversial group N.W.A. passed away yesterday.

Jerry Heller, the Manager who many claimed was behind the break up of N.W.A., passed away in his home Friday, just a month shy of what would have been his 76th Birthday.

Regardless of whatever happened during the rise and end of N.W.A., or the many twists and turns regardin Dr. Dre and Death Row Records,  many of Eazy-E’s closest friends and relatives took to Social Media thanking Jerry for his contribution to N.W.A. and to Hip-Hop in General for being an instrumental part in a group that moved so many.

Last year’s Box Office Smash “Straight Outta Compton” saw Jerry portrayed by Paul Giamatti, a role that would later lead to a lawsuit by Heller.

Thanks Jerry for the Historic Moments that Hip-Hop aficionados will never forget

The World Lost one of Its Greatest Hip-Hop Pioneers and Most Beloved Figures last night.. as Malik Isaac Taylor, otherwise known as Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest, saw the end to his life at age 45.

Although the actual cause of death has not yet been announced, Phife had ongoing health issues for years as a result of battling Type 1 Diabetes.  These problems even led to a Kidney Transplant in 2008.

Tribe and Phife were known for being not only Pioneers to the burgeoning Hip-Hop Genre of music in the late 80’s and early 90’s, but as ones whose energy maintain a positive vibe to Hip-Hop, which is very much missing today.

Phife will be greatly missed and we hope you all enjoy some old school Tribe today

Reunited: A Soldier & His General

Frank Alexander, Former Bodyguard of Our World’s Greatest Legend… Tupac Shakur, Has passed away

It is always difficult for us to report sad news, and we try our best to avoid it in this difficult world we live in.  But Frank’s Story is one that we Must NEVER Forget.

Frank Alexander has been seen in various Documentaries on Pac since his untimely passing in 1996.  Frank carried a Heavy Heart ever since 2Pac passed, feeling personally responsible for not being there, or not taking the proper precautions to protect his life, given the circumstances, in Las Vegas on that fateful day of September 7th 1996.

Frank was one who knew there were circumstances around that evening, that could have prevented Pac’s passing, and made sure the Public knew the Truth of what really happened that night…. Regardless of what Death Threats or Means of Intimidation May have Come

We all know Pac loved him, and Frank wished he could do anything to turn back the Clock and save our World’s Greatest Revolutionary.

I recently spoke with Pac’s Childhood friend Ray Luv about it, and he told us “This Is A Hard Loss… And it Hits Close to Home.  He Always felt Personally Responsible for not being there for Pac, and it was Something He Never Truly Got Over… He Will Be Greatly Missed“.

Frank we thank you for your Service to Pac in his Life, and your Loyalty to him even after his Death.

And we can all Lift up Prayers, because you both are now Celebrating your Legacies Together in Thugz Mansion.

“Just Think Of All The People That You Knew In The Past

That Passed On.. They In Heaven, Found Peace At Last”

The last time anybody was blessed to have the chance to hear Whitney Houston sing publicly was when she sang “Yes Jesus Loves Me” at Tru Hollywood on Thursday night, at a Pre-Grammy / ASCAP Party hosted by Kelly Price.

We were all hoping for many more performances.
