Damn, another one gone in the prime of his life.
This guy was inspirational as a DJ and performer. In a year where we already lost people such as MJ, Tony D and DJ AM it makes you stop and appreciate how much these people give you over their short time here. RIP.
A masterclass in performing as a DJ.

2nd wood of the day
Just read this on some scurrilous gossip site but its got me all excited anyway.
Apparently Natalie Portman has a thing for Hip Hop music and the dirtier the better. She is my kind of woman.
Natalie Portman has recently spilled that she has hots for “dirty” and “obscene” rap music. In an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal, who is also Portman’s co-star in new war movie Brothers, the Israeli actress said that she had developed likings for such music.
The V For Vendetta actress was asked, “What song best describes your current state?” she simply stated with a smile, “I’ve mostly been listening to dirty rap lately, that’s sort of my scene - really, really obscene hip-hop”. The interview was published in Interview magazine.
I might have to send her a couple of Gangsta Nip/2 Live Crew mixtapes.

New Rakim single!!!!!
Excuse the amount of exclamation marks in the title to this post but RAKIM HAS A NEW SINGLE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Holy are you" is a precursor to this autumn's long awaited release of the "Seventh Seal". Seems like this album does exist and I for one am looking forward to this like a greedy dentist looks forward to The Bee Gees bi-annual check up.
Weird metaphors aside, you got to try and track this down as its hot.

An evil cloud passes by
Entertainment giant Walt Disney is to buy Marvel Entertainment in a shares and cash deal valued at $4bn (£2.5bn).
The deal means Disney will take over ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters, such as Spider-Man and the X-Men.
Marvel shareholders will get $30 per share in cash plus 0.745 Disney shares for every Marvel share owned.
The boards of Disney and Marvel have both approved the deal, which now needs the backing of Marvel shareholders and competition authorities.
Marvel shares were ahead $9.68, or 25%, to $48.33 in Monday trading while Disney shares fell 80 cents, or 3%, to $26.04.
'Great assets'
"We believe that adding Marvel to Disney's unique portfolio of brands provides significant opportunities for long-term growth and value creation," Disney president and chief executive Robert Iger said.
"We are pleased to bring this talent and these great assets to Disney."
Other Marvel's characters include Captain America, the Fantastic Four and Thor.
"Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses," said Marvel chief executive Ike Perlmutter.
"This is an unparalleled opportunity for Marvel to build upon its vibrant brand and character properties by accessing Disney's tremendous global organization and infrastructure around the world," he added.
'Good deal'
Arvind Bhatia, an analyst at Sterne, Agee and Leach, said that the deal appeared to be a "win-win situation for both companies".
"They [Marvel shareholders] are getting a good deal in my opinion. The CEO of the company, Isaac Perlmutter, is also the largest shareholder of the company.
"From that standpoint, we think the chances of this deal going through are pretty high."
Last month, Walt Disney reported a fall in profits of more than a quarter as the downturn hit revenue at its film and theme park divisions.
Net profit between April and June came in at $954m (£579m), down 26% on the $1.28bn the entertainment giant made in the same period last year.
Revenues of $8.6bn were down 7% from the $9.2bn recorded a year before.
And so another hero gets swallowed up in the name of big business and progress, damn shame that. I guess we can look forward to Buzz Lightyear taking on the Green Goblin.... :(
