R.I.P MIKE BECK

I'm sorry I haven't been able to post nothing in a while, but I'm dealing with a loss right now. A few days ago, a good friend of mine was brutally murdered on the streets as a result of jealousy. I don't know the specifics of what transpired. All I know is Mike Beck is no longer here with us. This man was an aspiring rapper with lots of talent. He asked me to write a book on his life and this is what took place. I'm tired of the senseless killings and he's not the first person I've had taken away from me. I do know that his legacy will continue to live on because that's what he would've wanted so every person who had a personal relationship with this man will have to play their part. Last night I listened to Kay Slay play a song called "Self Destruction 2010". I understood why he played it. There are too many songs out here promoting violence and glorifying the street element. Alot of times these kids are so impressionable on this kind of music that they think that's what these artists are advocating. They don't know how to separate art from reality. Music is an art form! Its not supposed to make you go out and participate in random acts of violence. If that was the case, then every time you watched a violent movie you'd think that was the green light to do something crazy. If thats what you think then your Suspended In Time by thinking it. We've all seen Scarface, Boyz in the Hood, Menace to Society, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat, Terminator and countless other movies that depict what happens in the end. Noone pays attention to the message these movies or the music portrays. All they see is violence! I'm not here to preach to you, but I do know that God didn't put us all here on this great Earth to harm one another. We're supposed to love one another and treat everyone as equal but we all know that isn't the case. Racism still exists in many parts of the world, but good overrides evil any day. With that being said, I will continue to play my part and do what I was put on the planet to do which is to shed light and enlighten those in need of enlightenment. Rest in Peace Mike Beck, I will forever hold you in my heart. Watch over us and I'll see you when I get there.
