A more reliable source.

AP wires aren't reliable?

Link47 · 08-06-2004, 04:38 PM

AP, Reuters > CNN, NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS

**Prince Toad** · 08-06-2004, 05:24 PM

Somewhat little taste in the title, there.

El Barto · 08-06-2004, 06:09 PM

Yeah, really...

Gamer Chris · 08-06-2004, 06:11 PM

The long running Chapelle joke has officially been killed now that Rick James is gone. Now it's just mean to say it...

It's been killed ever since every **** found it funny to say it 50 times/hour.

homer · 08-06-2004, 06:14 PM

Carter is correct.

Who are you around?
I haven't heard that phrase said by anyone since two days after that episode debuted
Wow, that's sad Iwas looking forward to the new album he was to realease later.

That's unfortunate.

Swordmaster Link · 08-06-2004, 07:59 PM

It gets me a little irritated that people are like, "Omg Rick James died" like they know anything about him aside from that Chappelle Show skit. I feel bad for Rick James because instead of being known for his music, to many he will only be known for some little (yet funny) joke. "Har har omg 'I'm Rick James b****'" It gets annoying when everyone and their mother says it, and they do a bad impression too. [img]redface.gif[/img]

Super Shy Guy · 08-06-2004, 08:17 PM

Actually, SML, I was about to say the same thing. [img]redface.gif[/img]

Damon King · 08-06-2004, 09:15 PM

Well I don't know about you, but I'm about to put my aunt's old Rick James records on the shelves, hopefully people wake-up and realize him as the legend he was, not the joke he was part of.

Super Shy Guy · 08-06-2004, 09:22 PM

Well, I wouldn't really call him a legend, either..

Dark Magus · 08-06-2004, 09:28 PM

Who the hell is Rick James? *Awaits oncoming insults*

**Prince Toad** · 08-06-2004, 09:33 PM

Nah, Carter, he was a legend. Funk on.

Super Shy Guy · 08-06-2004, 10:06 PM

On another note, what kind of "natural causes" do you die from at age 56?

**Prince Toad** · 08-06-2004, 10:15 PM

Dunno... probably had to do with the crack...
