A rising star was laid to rest this weekend and has many wondering what for and what next? What should be shocking is the lack of shock that accompanies a scenario like this in an urban/inner-city community. It’s unfortunate, but it’s nothing new.

D.Mac, an artist based out of Miami, had been tweeting this song to me for quite some time. The message read, “R.I.P. God Bless The Dead” but I ignored because I assumed it was another rapper spamming a DJ. I happened to get the message again and clicked the link praying it didn’t take me to a virus-infected site. It didn’t. Instead, my ears were blessed with an honest song about death from the perspective of a young man who has seen it firsthand more than enough.

Dr. Dre has been promoting his Detox album for almost a decade now so why stop now? In fact, he has promoted it for so long that every time he does anything in public, it’s assumed that it’s in direct affiliation with Detox, when it’s not.
What the Doc has done successfully, is come up with some slick ass over-priced headphones for you to listen to his highly-anticipated upcoming album on. How could Dre be mad at his mentee, 50, for coming out with his own line of headphones when all along he had this full-body experience in mind?
With the all-new Chrysler 300 w/ Beats By Dre integration, Doc isn’t #winning, he’s already #won! Check out @KendrickLamar who makes a cameo appearance. CHECK PLEASE, THE VIDEO THAT IS
