i have never even heard of him orestes, but it always sucks when somebody dies. I dont listen to rap so thats probably why ive never heard of him...

lol i heard there's an Unsolved Mystery thing on him, if you can catch that lol.. but he was extremely popular locally and just starting..... to blow up bigtime....its a damn shame how close he was to really take it to another level. its just the media in general didnt report on any of the ups or downs even as much as his death it got like 45 seconds mention on the LOCAL news, just because he was in jail from like '92-'96 (i think) for being associated with a string of robberies and his association with this one gang. it sucks. he was true to himself and his fans for like 14 years (~ '89-ish or maybe '90 to right up when he died) still putting out CLASSIC albums, new sound all the time, tons of dope features on lots of artist's records, had his own label, brought up MANY other talents, did affordable local shows, signed autographs, met up with fans... besides being a part of a long line of boss mackin mother fuckers, he embodies the spirit of every (nor-cal ESPECIALLY) stoner, drug user, (his label was THIZZ ENTERTAINMENT (thizz=ecstacy pills), RAP FAN, he had more lines of rapping per album than 99% of any artist.

he started soooo much just in the last few years, as this whole THIZZ/HYPHY/GO STUPID/GO DUMB yadidadaholla.shit in the bay area was spreading to other artists and producers and was starting to take over the radio.....and then this sh!t 1 year ago. we are left without the best artist we ever put out....

also interesting (and sad) just last night on the 1st in a sort of memorial gathering waaay deep in Vallejo where he was from, some 21 year old kid got killed. no one was arrested. i guess we have to feel blessed we had him for as long as we did....


RIP Cougnut, Mr. C, Hitman, MAC DRE, 2PAC

There's like 30,000 kids that die everyday, we should care about him because he spent 4 years in jail? Whoopee.

did you even read my post? what made you conclude that the time he spent in jail was the most important? i was saying the media didnt like to talk about him because of the jail time.

I like cheese on Sundays.

[R.W.240]

While I respect your opinion that cheese should only be liked on sundays, I disagree. Personally, I find cheese to be a tasty solution to my hunger problem on any day of the week. I will further this to say that a good steak with goat cheese will bring any cheese conisiuer to his knees in extasy

[slideways...]

steak+beer > steak+cheese

[orestes]

string cheese > *

[KA24DEPowered]
