I'm pretty sure but now you've received the despairing text, e-mail, phone call, or been stopped on the street, informing you about passing of Michael Jackson. He was many things to many people besides the musical legend he had been destined to become. "The Gloved One", "The Moon Walker, "Mr. He He He" himself lived up to and way beyond everything people knew since the was a kid he'd become. I think that the reason he'll be so missed by his fans, is he gave them so much to miss. First the fearless kid prodigy lead singer of the Jackson 5. Then as the sequined jacket high watered, glimmering sock wearing dancing phenom that dominated the look & the sound of the 80's. To the tormented exiled "King", longing to revive his career and return to his former glory. Each carnation he went through, it seemed he became even larger then life each time! Kids born WAY after the time of his reign, STILL view him as a mystical like hero figure. Akin to Batman, Spiderman, Superman, then add Michael to that list, a real human being! He had become just that big. Ironically, I had a conversation with someone just reflecting on how the out pour of love for James Brown was like none I've EVER seen in my lifetime, "Can you just imagine what the turn out will be for Mike?" was what I questioned my friend aloud. Who know I'd be finding out sooner then I (or ANYONE for that matter) thought. Why do folks take the death of a public figure so hard? My theory is that once you do become so iconic around the world and in peoples mind, even death is beyond them. Death can be beyond them, if you keep that person in your heart and thoughts. R.I.P. MJ, I will always "Remember the Time" that I fell in love with your music.

"Heard Any Good Tip's Lately?" -Q-Tip Show & Mini Album Review
Question, are you planning to attend that Q-Tip show at the Nokia Theater tonight? Well I guarantee you that you won't have to wait on any long lines, and have to fight your way to the front of the stage to get "Tip Juice" splashed on you (ummm, by that I mean sweat folks, you nasty). Oh...how come? Simple, it's not gon' be there tonight. Yep, no lie it's been moved to the Highland Ballroom venue to accommodate the turn-out expected. So don't head over to the Nokia, ticket in hand, in the bleeding cold, sitting out front looking stupefied. I TOLD you man in advance! Thank me l8r.Tues. Dec 2nd
"2K Sports Bounce Tour"
Q-Tip and The Cool Kids
w/ The Knux and Pacific Division
*Moved from Nokia Theatre to Highline Ballroom.
All tickets honored.*
"Abstract Art"- The Renaissance ReviewHave you picked it up yet? Okay, but have you LISTENED to it? I mean sit down and give it your utmost attention? Nice right? It's good to know that he still respects the craftsmanship of rapping and still knows that you can push the boundaries and come out on top. Off the bat, the two dance floor fillers I dig are "Gettin' Up!" (which is the 1st single) and "Move" (that samples "Dancing Machine" by the Jackson 5 quite nicely). If you've been missing and longing for a Tribe reunion you'll still have to wait. Dang! He could've thrown Phife on at least ONE joint right?! Come on, 8 bar even? Lol, go get it NOW!

"the Alpha-Bit Boys" -M(J) TV
I'm pretty sure this ain't what Young Jezzy had in mind when he said "dem Alphabet Boys got us under surveillance... " But hey, it's still funny to think so.
