Heavy D, Rest In Paradise…

One thing is for sure, Heavy D put on for the light skinned, big brothas! With his recent performance at the BET Hip Hop Awards and talks of releasing a mixtape, it’s safe to say Heavy D wasn’t done working with and for us! What’s even more crazy is last night, Heavy D was just seen paying respects to the late, great Joe Frazier on Twitter, as everyone else.

TMZ has reported that the 44-year old Hip-Hop pioneer was rushed to a hospital from his Beverly Hills home where he was pronounced dead. This is truly an unfortunate loss but it reminds me of Nate Dogg’s passing. Like, was he sick or anything that lead to this? Are we keeping enough tabs on our Hip-Hop royalty or are we just replacing them?

Last night when Joe Frazier was pronounced dead, Floyd Mayweather tweeted that he and #themoneyteam would pay for the funeral. That’s fine but are we taking care of our people while they’re alive? Either way God’s plan still stands.

Is Dr. Boyce the new 50 Cent?

First, let me start this blog by saying that I have the utmost respect for Dr. Boyce Watkins and his work and regularly follow his blog, Your Black World, as it is very insightful. That said, I have been getting thrown off base by Dr. Boyce as he has been on a Lil’ Wayne hating spree for the past couple of weeks.

At first glance I thought that maybe he was pointing some legitimate, new-found concerns, but his recent article proclaiming that, BET has Become the New KKK leaves me with the “oh hell nall” face.

Hit the jump to find out what Dr. Boyce had to say…

BET Awards 2011 vs WET Awards 2012

When it comes to entertaining black people on a platform where anything goes, the award would, unfortunately, have to go to WorldStarHipHop. They’re entertaining, inspiring and poisoning an entire generation at the same time. Shouldn’t they be as credible if not more than BET, to have a show acknowledging those content developers and producers? Damn, I can see it now: WorldStarHipHop Entertains Them Awards 2012, Hosted by Flava Flav w/ an opening perfomance by Odd Future featuring Lil B, ending w/ Pinky awarding Heather Hunter the Lifetime Achievement Award. SMH!
