Issa Rae delivers opening remarks at Brandy’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony:
“Brandy was and is the blueprint. Without ‘Moesha,’ there’s no ‘Insecure.’ There’s no me as a writer.”
Eric "Eazy-E" Wright was murdered after he caught his small hat manager, Jerry Heller, stealing from him and fired him. Jerry Heller's and Ruthless Records former head of security was Mike Klein, a former IDF/Mossad and JDL terrorist leader. Months later, Heller threatened Eazy with a lawsuit for firing him, and Eazy ignored him. Eazy(along with 2Pac), would then get targeted for extortion by the JDL. The same group that Mike Klein was a part of. Despite having a clean bill of health less than a year before in July of 1994. The asthmatic since birth, Eazy-E was taken to a small hat hospital after complaining about having problems breathing. He would later be diagnosed with full blown AIDS. Eazy had 8 baby mothers and 11 kids. His wife was 2 months pregnant at the time of his diagnosis. Not a single ex girlfriend or his wife and child who was born 6 months after Eazy's death, has ever tested positive for HIV.
The only thing that makes me feel good about going to work every day is that I know I’m leaving my kid at a school where she loves her teachers and her friends. 🥹
Before Day26, before Mindless Behavior, there was an R&B Boy Band straight outta Chicago with all the promise in the WORLD.
Originally a five piece and then four, One Chance was discovered by Usher and signed by Clive Davis on the spot.
Their debut single “Look At Her” featuring Fabo of D4L had MySpace and 106 & Park in a chokehold. Their debut album ‘Private’ continued to get pushed back and eventually shelved due to continuing changes at J Records [several acts saw this fate during the J/Jive/Zomba/RCA shakeup].
After leaving J/US, they signed with T-Pain over at Nappy Boy which brought their mixtape ‘Ain’t No Room For Talkin’’.
One Chance never really got their “chance” and that sucks because they truly deserved it.
“Could This Be Love” is one of my favorite leaks from them. I remember everyone always said Rob looked like Lloyd 🤣.
Can’t believe this was 20 years ago.
Song: “Look At Her” - full ATL Snap anthem.

The lead Disney Channel star Lee Thompson Young passed away on August 19, 2013. He committed suicide.
Since then Disney Channel never aired “The Famous Jett Jackson” since or put it on Disney+ streaming. The show is never acknowledged despite being the first black lead on the channel and the first series to receive a movie.
The only time Disney Channel ever aired Jett Jackson was the movie once on June 9, 2016 during a marathon of every Disney Channel movie airing.
In the Hollywood scene behind the scenes there has been speculation and conversations about Lee Thompson Young drinking punch at Hollywood parties that were laced with drugs. Allegedly.
Which leads to the question why are we not having more conversations and celebrating the legacy of Lee Thompson Young?
