The Legacy of Micheal Turner aka Mike T.





The Legacy of Micheal Turner aka Mike T.


I spoke with LBZ this afternoon about the loss of his best friend and business partner Mike T. Here is what LBZ had to say...

"Shit .. my nigga Mike T. of Barre None Ent., he was one of the coolest people out here in the Tone. He was a player type of dude. He would chill, enjoy his kids and make music ... that's all he wanted to do cause that's what made him happy. If I ever needed anything, he was right there. I lost more than just a rapping partner .... Mike was my best friend."

Mike T. had just turned 31. He died young, way too young.

"This is the worst hurt I have ever been through. This just wasn't supposed to happen." Beezy sadly said.

"Mike was in the Military .. he fought for his Country as well as make music. He was in Colorado with Royal Click before he came to 210. He made CDs in Bosnia, Colorado and San Antonio. We made three mix-tape albums together, and I will be releasing the one we were just finishing which will be called "Pyrex Dreams" in honor of the album he was going to release with that name this year."

"Mike and I were like two of a kind .... and he believed in me with no doubt in his mind, he would say I am the best in San Antonio. And to me .... he was the best. Mike T. is the reason why I grind so hard ... he is the inspiration that makes me want to be a better artist. He was one of the greatest rappers to walk the streets of San Antonio to me. Many will tell you that too. He and I had a lot of plans and a lot of dreams together. "

"He liked all types of music too .. there was no barrier ... we listened to everything together. Our main influences were S.U.C., UGK, Scarface and 8ball. It is sad. We would play 8Box all day, chill, blow, he was the best. My nigga didn't deserve this. He didn't bother anyone. He never hurt anyone. I can't even believe my nigga is gone. And now, he leaves behind a son and daughter that I will pick up that slack and help to take care of cause his family is my family too"

What can we do to prevent more killings?
"THINK about what you are gonna do BEFORE you do it man. Think about what CAN happen. You have to live life to the fullest. Tell your friends that you love them cause it's the little everyday things you are gonna miss the most when they are gone. So do it .. don't be afraid to tell them how you feel."

Thank you LBZ, we love you. We know these are painful times for you and we appreciate you taking the time to remember Micheal Turner with us and our readers. R.I.P. MICHEAL TURNER, MAY THE MUSIC YOU MADE LIVE ON FOREVER.




Funeral arrangements will be announced.

Rapper Pimp C Found Dead in Hollywood Hotel Room

Pimp C, real name Chad Butler -- and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33.

L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed.

UGK is best known for appearing on the Jay-Z track "Big Pimpin'" in 2000, and more recently with Outkast on the song "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You)." Pimp C had just performed with fellow rapper Too Short at the "House of Blues" in L.A. on Saturday night.

 

 

World Aids Day

EVENT CALENDAR: Mandela's 2008 World AIDS Day concerts; Reginald Hudlin at Montclair Art Museum; Spike Lee in Columbus for Wexner Award.

December 4, 2007

Nelson Mandela's 46664 campaign has announced it will host two concerts in 2008. The first concert will take place in London's Hyde Park on June 27, while the second will be held on World AIDS Day - Dec. 1 - in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, reports Billboard. The former South African president made the announcement Saturday (Dec. 1) while appearing on-stage at the 46664 music event at Johannesburg's Ellis Park Stadium. Mandela appeared midway through Saturday night's show, which saw a mix of international and national artists perform in Johannesburg for the first time under the 46664 banner, which takes its name from Mandela's prison number during his time incarcerated on Robben Island. The event uses music to raise funds for key HIV/AID-related projects in sub-Saharan Africa.

*The Montclair Art Museum (MAM) in Montclair, NJ will present a conversation with Reginald Hudlin on Thursday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. as part of the Creating Art: Conversations with African American Artists series. Hudlin, president of Black Entertainment Television and a comic book writer for Marvel’s Black Panther and Spider-man series, will discuss the African American presence in comics – both behind the scenes as creators and in the pages themselves as characters. The lecture, free to the public, will be followed by a Q&A with the audience and a reception. The Montclair Art Museum is located at 3 South Mountain Ave.. Information and directions are available on the Museum Web site www.montclairartmuseum.org, or by calling (973) 746-5555.

*Spike Lee has been awarded the Wexner Center for the Arts prize by its International Arts Advisory Council. Lee will come to Columbus Feb. 11-12 to accept the $50,000 award, which honors a contemporary artist in any field whose work has been original, influential and challenging. The controversial filmmaker's more than 20-year career includes the Oscar-nominated "Do the Right Thing" and "Malcolm X" and last year's Emmy-winning TV miniseries on Hurricane Katrina, "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts." The last Wexner Center for the Arts was given out in 2006 to choreographer Bill T. Jones.

VS shows why Teamwork's best...

Varsity Squad is always a treat to see. With their coreographed dance moves and showmanship, you just cant doubt their work ethic and dedication to entertaining their fans. I heard they were supposed to have relocated to Atlanta... Not sure what happened but we're glad they are still here.

Sincere makes the 'Spot Hot'

Sincere burns up the Hot Spot Thursday night with his soulful voice and personable flair. We expected nothing less from this crooner.

Mr. CEO sends a memo to the crowd...

Mr. CEO calls a company meeting and informs the crowd that he's Fed Up! This asian rapper is making a name for himself making sure everyone knows who's boss.
Shouts out to G-Luv!

Two Brothers on fire!

Two Brothers lit up the floor during their captivating performance. These guys have the presence to make you stand up at attention. Working the crowd like the professionals they are you cant help but wonder when their deal will come through.

Jay-Z says he regrets early 'retirement'
"I want to never say that again," the 37-year-old rap mogul says in XXL magazine's new issue. "Just make the albums, man. And if one day people wake up and it's four years later, and you haven't made another, they go, 'Wait a minute, you're retired!' I think that's best for me."
