RIP Tupac.

Can't believe it's been 14 years since the death of Tupac. One of the greatest to ever do it. RIP. Probably my favorite Pac joint, So Many Tears:
Rest in peace.

R.I.P. Gaines Adams

Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams passed away this morning at the age of 26. After an accomplished collegiate career at Clemson, Adams was drafted by the Buccaneers with the fourth overall pick in the 2007 draft. He was then traded to the Chicago Bears on October 19, 2009. An autopsy revealed that Adams suffered from an enlarged heart which led to cardiac arrest. His family members were unaware that he suffered from any serious medical conditions. His death was sudden and tragic and my prayers go out to his family. Not only was Gaines Adams a good football player, but he was a good person on and off the field. He's most famous for this play against Wake Forest back during his time at Clemson.
Rest in Peace.

I Would Be Remiss...

...if I didn't recognize Aaliyah today.

I can't believe it's been eight years since the untimely death of one of the entertainment industry's bright, young stars. Aaliyah would have been 30 this year and I'm sure that if she were alive, she'd still be making classic music and great movies. She changed the whole R&B game for the better while also setting the stage for R&B artists today. Without Aaliyah there would be no Beyonce, Rihanna, Keri Hilson, etc. Not only was she immensely talented, but she was the original bad girl. [She was SOOOOO bad.] I know this isn't one of her most popular songs, but it was definitely one of my favorites from the peak of her success. R.I.P. Aaliyah.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Rough day.

We lost one of music's living legends yesterday. His death has taken awhile to actually sink in, but Michael Jackson will be remembered across the world for creating about 40 years worth of classic music. He was arguably the biggest and most influential musician of all time and will be sorely missed. My favorite MJ joints ever are Billie Jean, Thriller, Rock With You, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough and Smooth Criminal. His discography is unrivaled in music. I could go on forever saying all the ways he impacted the world but I'll just end it here. Rest in Peace, Mike.
