RIP Whitney Houston...

Today is a very sad day in the entertainment world!! The legendary Whitney Houston was given a homecoming ceremony at her home church in Newark, New Jersey, following her untimely death last weekend that sent shock waves around the world! Many including friends, family, mentors, co-workers came to pay their respects to the departed Whitney!!  ...and what an incredible send off it was! I have never been moved to this extent!!  I am all cried out! I don't remember being like this during Michael Jackson's funeral service yet I love MJ just as much.


Whitney Houston has given us decades of incredible music and film that will live on forever!  Her music was part and parcel of my formative years to date. There can never be a voice like hers - the golden voice as it was fondly referred to.  Today, I will focus on the positive contribution that she made to the world.  Her struggles though a part of her, seem so trivial right now! I chose to celebrate her life!

RIP Whitney Elizabeth Houston. I will always love you!  Rest with the angels. My prayers goes out to the family at this time of grief. 


**I can't wait to see the remake of Sparkle that she recently finished shooting with Jordin Sparks. 

RIP Nate Dogg

RIP Nate Dogg

It's sad day in hip hop!! We woke up to the sad news that Nate Dogg passed away last night from complications of the two strokes he suffered in 2007 & 2008.  Gone at such an early age of 41!!  Nate was very talented with his distinctive voice that added some unique flavor to some of the biggest West coast rap songs during the G-funk era in hip hop.

Nate frequently collaborated with his high school friend Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Tupac Shakur, Eminem, and 50 Cent.

Soon as I heard the sad news, I had to dig up my records that feature Nate.  My faves are definitely from Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" album & Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" album. 

Sadly, Nate is gone but he will never be forgotten! He made his mark. Long live hip-hop!  Here are two of his most noted hits below:
