Fat Joe Speaks On Mister Cee & Homosexuality In Hip Hop (Video)
November 9, 2011
In a recent interview Fat Joe spoke on his belief that the entertainment industry is run by a gay mafia. (Can’t say I don’t disagree with him either). The “Don Cartegena” also spoke briefly on the Mister Cee situation, says he believes he has worked with closeted gay rappers before & spoke on his beliefs on homosexuality in the entertainment industry from pro sports to music & film. I agree with Fat Joe’s comments about the entertainment industry & about these guys hiding who they are to the public. Peep the interview…No homo.

Legendary Rap Artist & Actor “Heavy D” Dies At The Age Of 44
November 8, 2011
The news of Heavy D’s passing spread like wildfire through the internet & the media when TMZ first broke the story…
TMZ:
Rap legend Heavy D — one of the most influential rappers of the ’90s — died earlier today … TMZ has learned.
Heavy D — real name Dwight Arrington Myers — was rushed to an L.A. hospital around noon today … and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1 PM. He was 44 years old.
We’ve learned a 911 call was placed from Heavy’s Beverly Hills home around 11:25 AM to report an unconscious male on the walkway .
When help arrived, we’re told Heavy D was conscious and speaking — and was transported to a nearby hospital.
He died a short time later.
Cops are investigating the death — and so far, there are no obvious signs of foul play.
Heavy D had several massive hits — including “Now That We Found Love.” He also wrote and performed the theme song for “In Living Color” … and appeared as an actor in the movie “Life.”

Legendary Boxing Champion Joe Frazier Dies Of Liver Cancer In Philadelphia
November 8, 2011
As a North Philly native I can tell you that there was no way anyone wouldn’t be proud of the accomplishments & community service that Smokin Joe Frazier had done over the years. I remember visiting his gym a few times as a kid on North Broad street which was several blocks from my grandmothers home. Because of Joe Frazier’s success & visibility in the community he inspired generations of brothers from Philly beyond boxing. I’ve been fortunate enough to have met Joe Frazier several times over the years & unlike most celebrities like him, Joe was actively involved in community & was very visible from what I remember when I still lived in Philly. While the Philadelphia Eagles were closing out their Monday Night Football game with a loss to Chicago, sports fans in Philadelphia & the world were just getting word that one of the greatest boxers in history had died of liver cancer. It goes without saying that it was truly a sad evening in Philadelphia last night…. Rest in Peace Smokin’ Joe Frazier.
