RIP Mac Miller (Rhythm Roulette Rewind) [Video]
September 10, 2018
So very sad to hear of the passing of one of the talented emcees who was considered ‘new’ but kept it True School. Kept him in solid rotation on the old Beatz & Lyrics Show since his early hits. He really seemed to have fun with the craft and rode the hell out of his lane through his very short trip through life. Rest Well, Mac Miller aka Larry Fisherman.
The Mac in the ‘Rhythm Roulette’ above and the bonus embed after the jump (with the late great Sean Price…wow) – that’s how we should remember him. Full of life, a little off but always on beat, zany and dope, a fun dude with amazing talent and wit.

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing: Rest In Power Queen!
January 3, 2016
As the new year of 2016 begins we have to take a moment to reflect and pay tribute to Dr. Frances Cress Welsing who has passed away at the age of 80 on January, 2nd 2016. Born in Chicago, IL March 18th 1935 daughter of Henry N. Cress (physician) & Ida Mae Griffen (teacher) she was always in an academic background. She went on to obtain her B.S. degree from Antioch College and her M.D. at Howard University in the 1960’s in psychiatry.
She made DC her home after her time at Howard University where she worked at many hospitals especially children’s hospitals. She is probably most known for her book “The Isis Papers” where she discussed the Melanin Theory and tackles the topic of White Supremacy. For decades she tirelessly worked to make sure that her works would help teach black people especially black children to have a love of themselves and their rich history.
She has spoken at numerous universities and taken part in a number of documentaries and she was a part of the Hidden Colors Documentary produced by Tariq Nasheed who worked with her as his mentor. Dr Welsing will truly be missed but her great works will not be forgotten! (March 18, 1935 – January 2, 2016) Rest In Peace………

R.I.P. Kile Glover (Cover Story)
July 23, 2012
It is with a heavy heart that we at JayForce.com report the passing of young Kile Glover, 11, stepson of Grammy-winning R&B singer Usher Raymond. The LA Times and the Atlanta Journal Constitution both affirm that Kile died this past Saturday, nearly two weeks after sustaining critical injuries in a boating accident on Metro Atlanta’s Lake Lanier. When news of Kile’s death was first released, it was said that Kile’s mother, the former Tameka Foster-Raymond, requested an end to Kile’s suffering once it was determined that he could not possibly recover from the injuries he had sustained. Later, it was clarified that Kile had succumbed; a result of congestive heart failure. Regardless, Kile’s battle has ended. We cannot imagine the grief being suffered by those left to mourn little Kile. We can only offer our deepest sympathies to the extended family left to mourn in the wake of this tragic loss. However, to you our reader, we offer the following admonishment: If you have been so blessed to have a little angel or angels in your life, hug and kiss them NOW; while they are on this side! Whatever else you think is more important…it’s not. Rest in peace, Kile.

R.I.P. Ms. Melodie (Cover Story)
July 19, 2012
We saw and heard word of the passing of Hip-Hop diva Ms. Melodie (formerly of BDP) many hours ago throughout the blogosphere and over the airwaves. However, everyone was reporting the same information (death, with no known cause); and none of the so-called majors had yet committed its resources or reputation to confirming the tragic loss. Well, though no new information of note has been shared, New York Daily News and MTV sources (and others) affirm that our beloved Ms. Melodie passed away yesterday, July 18 2012. We at JayForce.com express our deepest condolences and heartfelt sorrow at the passing of a sister that never did wrong by the culture of Hip-Hop, any of its elements, or the people who follow it and her. Rest in Peace, Ma…Rest in Power.

Classic Clips: Christopher Lee Rios aka Big Pun (November 10, 1971 – February 7, 2000)
February 7, 2012
Today we remember the life of Big Punisher, the 1st Latino in hip hop to go platinum and in my eyes one of the best lyricists ever. He could destroy verses with a merciless rapid delivery like “Super Lyrical” or give you smooth quality radio joints without selling out like “Not A Player”. With all Pun’s positive attributes as emcee, his passing gives us one constant reminder, YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH! Make sure you take care of yourself and get them check up’s….
“Dead in the middle of little Italy little did he know that we riddle to middle men who didn’t do diddly” is still the greatest 4 bars ever!
