Common takes on Nas‘ verse from the Illmatic classic “Life’s A Bitch” in this Court Dunn-directed vid, part of the dopehouse series called, naturally, VERSES. Kind of a revelation actually because this was never my favorite track on Illmatic (I know, I know) maybe just because of the sample/tempo or maybe just because it was surrounded by so many other sparkly gems. But hearing it acapella with another MC’s cadence really highlights Nas’ poetry–perhaps the greatest writer in rap music–not to metion Com’s inimitable flow.
Before Pharrell & Chad formed The Neptunes, and even before L.A. Reid and Babyface got their break, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were the go-to production team and they gave birth to the "super-producer" in the pop and urban music scene. After being hired and fired from The Time by their high school friend/boss Prince, for missing a show and "giving away" their "sound" (The Minneapolis Sound/MPLSound) to another group, The S.O.S. Band, the pair went on to create music for folks ranging from Janet Jackson to the new wave group Human League. They are second to Quincy Jones in Hit songs on Billboard and Awards.

Dr. Conrad Murray, the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, was sentenced to four years imprisonment, the maximum punishment the judge could deliver. The sentencing came nearly three weeks after a jury found Murray guilty of administering Jackson with a fatal dose of the powerful sedative Propofol on June 25, 2009. “Some may feel that this was a medical malpractice case. It wasn’t. And this jury found that Conrad Murray, with criminal negligence, caused the death of Michael Jackson,” Judge Michael Pastor said before revealing the sentence. “The fact is, Michael Jackson died because of the actions of, and the failures to perform legal duties on the part of, Conrad Murray.”
The judge also admonished Murray for his “horrific violation of trust” in treating Jackson. The defense was seeking a sentence that included probation but no jail time, but given the severity of the crime and the world-famous victim, the judge sided with the prosecution in delivering Murray his punishment. In addition to the sentence, Murray was also ordered to pay Jackson’s children a restitution estimated to be in the amount of $100 million, a sum that combines the cost of Michael’s funeral arrangements, plus the lost wages and earnings the singer didn’t collect because he died before his This Is It concerts began. The exact restitution, however, will be decided on a later court date.
"YEAH WHATEVERRRR!"
Above is the full documentary (commercial free) funded by Dr. Conrad Murray. Obviously this B.S. was made to flip the the truth and fool weak minded fools (sheep) who believe anything the media puts out there.
To make it simple...Michael Jackson is the one to blame and Dr. Conrad Murray is not only MJ's ONLY friend, but also the victim!
This documentary of lies was supposed to help him with the criminal case against him, but it did the opposite. The judge blasted him for his lack of empathy and gave him the maximimum sentence.
Below is the Uncut Interview shown in Britain. This fool blames everyone but himself and refuses to take any sort of resposibilty for his part in the death of MJ.
