harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,669 Posted August 30, 2012 I can't say this chap has impinged on my consciousness before, but I dare say Mr Cooley will know all about him - hip hop impresario Chris Lighty bucks a trend by not being shot dead by somebody other than himself. He has yet to receive an obituary in the Daily Telegraph, let it be noted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weren't they responsible for 50 Cent and Fat Joe, and for allowing Swizz Beats to do something other than produce? Yeah, no tears shed for this dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely there can be no greater example of the increasing caucasianisation of hip-hop than the fact that rappers are now starting to commit suicide? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,378 Posted March 3, 2013 Magic, who had a US top 20 album back in 1998 when literally anything on No Limit automatically sold 250k, has died aged 42 in a car accident. After his brief period of mainstream success, he went on to form a "rap" "supergroup" with Roy Jones Jr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,414 Posted March 16, 2013 Lil Wayne in critical condition following multiple seizures. According to TMZ now, he is comatose and being read his last rites while family gathers round. I'm confused is this the latest news didn't someone just tweet he is watching a football game with him or something or was that his previous seizure? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
