In today's Daily Rap we see Dr Dre bury his son, rap icons will not be forming TGT, PETA are wanting blood from DMX, and Luda performs for Breast Cancer.
Dr. Dre buries son
The 20 year old son of the legendary producer Dr. Dre was buried this past weekend in Glendale California.
Andre Young Junior returned home last Saturday morning after a night out with friends and was found unconscious in his bed by his mother. He was announced dead on arrival at hospital.
This weekend over 200 mourners congregated to pay their last respects to the Young family. In attendance were family and close friends.
The cause of death has yet to be determined when the autopsy which was carried out this week was deemed inconclusive.
No super R&B group
There was for some anticipated excitement when it was disclosed earlier this year that Ginuwine, Tank and Tyrese were forming together to establish the group TGT.
It was revealed however this week that the three R&B icons will not be emerging as TGT even though the three have recorded various tracks for the impending album together.
Label and legal issues have stopped the singers from figuring out the logistics of the threesome.
However Ginuwine explained in a recent interview that the material they had recorded together will not be going to waste and will be featured on their individual projects.
PETA look for Authorities to deliver harsh sentence for DMX
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have indicated that they hope the authorities in Arizona will deal with rapper DMX accordingly for his maltreatment of animals.
The PETA wrote a letter to the Arizona’s Prosecution Office urging them to put DMX behind bars and be banned from owning animals for as long as possible after the remains of three dogs were discovered on his ranch last year along with 12 malnourished pit bulls.
DMX is currently facing various charges including those relating to animal cruelty as well as speeding, drug and identity theft charges.
Luda performs for Breast Cancer
Atlanta based rapper Ludacris came out in support of Breast Cancer Awareness this past weekend at a women’s basketball game.
The rapper performed at the game between the Atlanta Dream and Connecticut Sun WNBA game in Atlanta on Friday evening.
The game called The Dream Pink game was played to a sold out crowd and also featured a performance by Ludacris’s new singer Jarvis who is signed to the rappers Disturbing Tha Peace label.
The three time Grammy winner also started his Ludacris Foundation with manager Chaka Zula which helps high school students get involved in arts.
