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?

According to Drudge Report he's dead. Of course, I usually look for my news from a more respectable source...

CNN is reporting it on TV right now.

Hasn't hit their website yet.

And wagers on cause of death?

I was just watching K-cal 9 and they reported that Rick James died, report to come. I'll keep you updated, nothing about on it cnn.com.


About as respectable as Drudge

This post makes me want to squeeze into my badass red jeans.

"Apparent natural casuses" is what is being reported as a cause of death. Apparently coke can look natural. Oh wait... that was in the past.

CNN has it as a breaking news banner on its website now. My buddy told me it was natural causes.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

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.

Well... fuck.

I wonder if the rumors that Chappelle will play him in a biopic movie will turn out to be true or too disrespectful.

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.

On another message board, someone was saying that they were at a club and Rick James was there.  Some girl went up to him and said, "I'm Rick James, BITCH!" and he looked like he wanted to commit suicide.
