No Bush in 2000 and the USA does not go into two unnecessary wars.
About Hillary, we have been talking about that for 4 years.

Afghanistan would have happened anyway, perhaps not Iraq.

Rapper Shock G (probably best known as alter ego Humpty Hump from Digital Underground) was found dead in his hotel room today. No cause of death was given--he was 57.

Shock G was the co-founder of Digital Underground, is considered a rap visionary, and there is no 2PAC without Shock G, not only elevated Tupac in Digital Underground, but produced his first album and co-wrote and produced one of his biggest hits from a later album. Rough year for the hip hop community. RIP

Well that was from BET so...

Anyway thanks for giving his back story. I had no idea there was a connection between the two men.

No, I meant "this rapper was found dead in a hotel room" is not the best tribute. I deleted that part in case there was confusion. Most black media outlets aren't explaining who Shock G is because he's well known enough that it doesn't need to be explained.

My friends and I listened to "Sex Packets" so much we almost started to believe it was real.
A great album. Hope he joins his pals in the Universe.

I was merely stating a fact, not tributing--not really any different from any of the other posts I make in this thread

A member of an even smaller club: the 6 men that orbited the moon while the other two went down.
I wonder how he (they) must have felt when they were over the far side of the moon. They could see out into the universe, in total darkness and with no communications to anybody else. They were truly the loneliest human in the universe in those moments.
May the universe welcome him.

I saw it posted earlier today - and of course now I can't find it - there is a bit by comedian Norm MacDonald talking about this - and what his thoughts might be. Pretty funny if you like his acerbic wit
