Title: Rick James dead? Post by: WayAbvPar on August 06, 2004, 12:11:43 PM I have had 2 people call me and tell me he died, but can't find it on the Net yet. Anyone else hear this?
Title: Rick James dead? Post by: Shockeye on August 06, 2004, 12:16:48 PM According to Drudge Report (http://www.drudgereport.com/) he's dead. Of course, I usually look for my news from a more respectable source...

(http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Venue/9769/rb/p/party_all_the_time.html) Meh, it pales before the might that is Superfreak. Superfreak reminds me of oldschool days at the rollerskating rink, doing laps under the disco ball, and then coasting my way up to the nearest Pac Man, Tron, or Defender machine. In a way, I'll always associate Rick James with rollerskating, and classic arcade games. Bring the noise. Cheers............. Title: Rick James dead?

I wonder if the rumors that Chappelle will play him in a biopic movie will turn out to be true or too disrespectful. Title: Rick James dead? Post by: Big Gulp on August 06, 2004, 02:39:34 PM Kinda hard for me to muster any sympathy for someone who imprisoned a woman and raped her with a crack pipe along with his crazy ass crackhead wife.

Some girl went up to him and said, "I'm Rick James, BITCH!" and he looked like he wanted to commit suicide. Title: Rick James dead?
