from Wikipedia ::
“Walk on By” is a song composed by Burt Bacharach, with lyrics by Hal David for Dionne Warwick. Like many of Warwick’s 1960s Bacharach-composed singles, “Walk on By” was heavily covered in different ways, some of which gained significant chart success. One notable version was by funk/soul musician Isaac Hayes, whose 1969 cover on his groundbreaking album Hot Buttered Soul was transformed into a twelve-and-a-half minute funk vamp, breaking ground for singers to release songs surpassing five minutes

Man Its Getting Way Passed Out Of Hand In Oakland, California… On Friday May 30th 2008 Bay Area Rapper & Chicago Native “Pretty Black” (Briefly Part Of Yukmouth’s Regime Dragon Gang & also known as Verstyle) Was Murdered In A East Oakland Apt Complex.

OAKLAND — A 25-year-old San Leandro man who police were told was a promising rapper was shot to death Friday night at an East Oakland apartment complex.

Ayoola Matthew Odumuyiwa, who police were told performed under the name Pretty Black, was found with multiple gunshot wounds about 9:44 p.m. Friday in an apartment complex in the 2600 block of Alvingroom Court, off MacArthur Boulevard not far from Castlemont High School.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sgt. John Parkinson said Saturday that Odumuyiwa had relatives who lived in the complex. He said police are not sure how long he had been there or why he was shot. No arrests had been made.

Parkinson said police were told by relatives and friends that Odumuyiwa had appeared in some rap videos and had made some CDs.

The killing was Oakland’s 56th homicide of the year. Last year at this time there were 40 homicides.

Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $10,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the killer. Anyone with information can call police at 238-3821 or Crime Stoppers at 777-8572 or 777-3211.

RIP pretty black & best wishes to his family & friends.

ITS 4:32AM AND I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS……..

AS you all know, I shared with you the announcment of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurly. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe but it is NOTHING compared to having your family. I am thankful for all of my blessings and im not one to question God’s perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for the love that was sent earlier on my pervious blog to my son. Of course I need to take some time and handle my loss, STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. Its not promised to any of us.

RIP..we wish xzibit & his family our best wishes in his time of need.

the punk mother-fu**er above killed 3 people

AWRENCEVILLE, Ga. Feb 29 2008 – A 17-year-old was arrested Friday in the murder of his mother, a Gwinnett County sheriff’s deputy, and his two sisters. Anthony Tyrone Terrell is charged with killing his mother, Joy Deleston, and his 4-year-old and 11-year-old sisters. Terrell is a junior at Central Gwinnett High School. He was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault. He is being held without bond. Police spokeswoman Corporal Illana Spellman said the motive for the killings is still under investigation. A neighbor called police Thursday night when she heard gunshots and a bullet came through the wall of her house. Officers who responded realized the bullet came from the deputy’s house at 415 Madison Chase Drive and saw the deputy’s marked patrol vehicle in the driveway, said Gwinnett County police spokesman David Schiralli. When they investigated they found the bodies of the deputy and her daughters. “They knew a deputy lived there, so they knocked at the door to see if everybody was all right,” Schiralli said. “There was no answer, but lights were on. They opened the door a little bit to announce themselves. That’s when they saw the 11-year-old.” She was just inside the front door. The deputy’s body was further inside the house. The 4-year-old was discovered in an upstairs bedroom. Deleston worked in the sex crimes unit, according to Schiralli. “Anger,” Conway told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution when asked his reaction to the crime. “I’ve got a deputy dead and two children. We just want to find out who did it and why.” Terrell arrived at the house while investigators were there and they took him into custody..

may the people that died rest in piece & the murderer get corn-holed repeatedly in prison
