The Last Word 2012: Hip-Hop Bows Its Head for Baby Chris
Our satirical and funny friend, Andre Leroy Davis, was back at it again in 2012 with “The Last Word”, his unique brand of cartoonish commentary on current events and politics. He was a hero among Hip-Hop giants, with an infectious smile that we never imagined would fade. But, in August 2012, Chris Lighty’s peers mourned the loss of rap’s talented business mind and friend. Whether it was due to an alleged suicide or something more sinister, it was clear that all anyone could question was, ‘Why?’ Andre captured the tragic event in his special way – by spotlighting how Hip-Hop and beyond came together (with some putting aside long-standing beef) in Baby Chris’ honor: Check out more witty goodness at www.AndreLeroyDavis.com.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Fat Joe Says 50 Cent Whispered Something “Gentleman Like” in His Ear
Where they do that at?! Just kidding! It looks like among all that violence that took place at the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards, some good came out of it as well. 50 Cent and Fat Joe finally squashed their beef as they were preparing to go onstage for a special tribute for their late manager, Chris “Baby Chris” Lighty. In a recent interview with Philly’s HOT 107.9, Fat Joe explained what exactly made him end his beef with 50 Cent…and it has to do with 50 whispering something “gentleman like” in his ear. Alrighty, then. I’ll let Fat Joe explain that one. Check out what he said below: “While we was there, 50 whispered some thing in my ear that was gentleman like,” said Joe. “I’m a gentleman, I don’t dislike people. I’m one of the most loveable dudes in Hip-Hop, believe it or not. So he just said the right things man were, you know, and then a handshake [was] involved and that was that. Two grown men to say, Yo, this if for Chris Lighty, this is for Hip-Hop, let’s move on with our lives.” “The same guy who discovered him discovered me, Chris Lighty. And Chris Lighty I owe him everything because I used to hustle big time in the Bronx. Out of 5o of us I’m the only one [that] got away cause I got legit. Everybody else got like 75 years in jail, God bless ’em. So he literally saved me life.” All jokes aside, I’m glad to see these two finally resolve their issues. You can catch the Chris Lighty tribute on the BET Hip-Hop Awards on October 9 on BET. Aside from 50 Cent and Fat Joe, the tribute also features performances from Missy Elliott and A Tribe Called Quest.
