Because of breaking news, this thread was moved from yesterday.
In my time as a DJ, I met many rappers who would go one to be famous. One I met was Biggie Smalls AKA Notorious BIG and who’s real name was Chris Wallace. I met him when I did a gig at a club in New York City back in 1994. This was when his first commercial single Juicy came out and it was starting to burn up the charts. Several months after that in late 1994, his first album Ready to Die came out. This album along with several that came out in 94/95 was the creative peak of Rap Music. Getting back to Biggie, he was down to earth and cool as hell. We ran into each other several times and even when he made it, he never forgot who I was and always said hello.
When I head he was killed on March 9th 1997 I was truly sad. I related with him very well as he came from a family of Jamaican immigrants. The few political conversation we had, I was under the impression he hated welfare, abortions and racism. He is now a legendary figure in the Hip Hop community and I feel honored to have met him.
Here are my favorite tracks from Biggie.
My favorite Biggie song.
RIP Christopher Wallace.

Call the Congress, demand they vote to de-fund Obama care when the vote comes next week on the continuing resolution.
Pelosi and the commie D’s put $190 Billion in the bill, he has the money to spend now unless we force them to stop it.
They voted to kill Obama care and now they have to back it up when it counts. It is our money.

Notorious was good. When the music was for fun and dancing it was cool. Once rap became about killing and all that, then, not so much. Now it’s just repetitive and boring.
@ NoThreat2U:
Tupac got his ass kiss in Rikers Island by the Latin Kings. In the 1960′s/70′s the Latin Kings were enemies of the Black Panthers. The Kings were Rightwing, the Panthers Marxists.I know becasue at the time I was one and my then Girlfriend’s cousin was one of the peeps that kicked him. After that Tupac joined forces with Suge Knights, who was a Blood.

Cool story. Dare I say…touching. (And not in that Helen Keller sort of way.)
Friends, this afternoon our brave WI Republican legislature voted to bring some fiscal sanity back into Wisconsin. As a result some of them are currently under recall threat, including Gov. Walker. I doubt that there is any imediate danger to the Republican majority, however, the Obama and national union machines are declaring war against our duly elected legislators simply for DOING THEIR JOBS that they were elected to do. Unlike the yelloe coward 14 Democrat Senetors that fled to IL to keep the majority from doing its job. If any of you follow this situation enough, and can lend any financial support to our brave Republicans, still the majority, here in WI it would be great. We are at the center of the most historic battle for reigning in the abusive public sector union power, in the nation. The Obama administration has joined forces with the powerful union bosses against us, the lowly taxpayer. Understand this, I am a union member of over 30 years. There are many of us who think alike, but the forces against us are willing to do whatever it takes to quash the revolt over publiv union domination by the left.

Yea. I remember.
Back in the 80s and 90s rappers would film their videos in Williamsburg, where I live. We were Hollywood’s ghetto back drop. So funny because it was already becoming a whitey white neighborhood even then.

I always wanted to rap but was afraid it would end up like this.
So Friday I went out of town to go see my dad. I flew down to Burbank, CA, my mom picked me up and we drove up to Santa Maria/Orcutt, CA where my dad lives. We stayed up there Friday, Saturday, so I got to visit with my dad Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday morning before heading back to Southern Cal. He was really glad I came to visit (for those of you who may remember, dad was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago with multiple myeloma). He’s doing OK and they caught it early enough and he is responding well to treatment and he has a good chance of going into remission. He was glad to see me and my mom. He was sad when I left and said he thought he might never see me again, but I told him he would and feel bad that he thinks that, so I am going to make an effort to get back down there in about 3 months.
Monday night I got to see Savage and we had dinner together and hung out (first time I’ve seen him in 11 months!), so that was cool. got to hang with my mom the whole time which was great, and Tuesday night I was headed back to rainy Seattle. It was nice to get a little sunshine in CA…
