This past week has ended with serious sorrow in the entertainment industry.
Two great bad azz kids (bad as in good, not bad as in BAD) have died-but as long as there's Youtube...we'll all be fine!
The first loss was Bernie Mac

Actor-comedian, Bernie Mac made ole school discipline cool.
You don't have to haggle or bargain with your child...whoop that azz!! he kept it real! Although the non-black communities weren't sure how to take him...at first. They in time, grew to accept and love Bernie Mac too! Bernie Mac died at the age of 50, from complication of pneumonia...mmmm mmmmm a serious loss indeed.

**caution offensive language**
Now on Aug. 8th, we were told he was recovering, and on the 9th-he was gone!! Read his bio: click here
And then before we were able to recover from Bernie Mac's death...an aftershock hit us
the composer of Shaft-Isaac Hayes died YESTERDAY (Sunday, August 10th), the day AFTER Bernie Mac's death smh

Hayes was on the same wavelength as Barry White: both were composers, and infused classical music with soul. They made horns, and violins sound SEXY! Yes they did!
Hayes was deemed a 'hypocrite' a couple of years ago when he quit the TV show "South Park" ending his role as'Chef." When his religion, Scientology, was parodied (yep, he was a Scientologist) Hayes called the show 'bigoted.' Although, I am curious as to why it took taunting Scientology to get him riled up?? South Park, made fun of all religions, and ethnic groups-but it wasn't an issue with Hayes until Scientology was taunted, hmmmm.
Interestingly enough, the role of 'Chef' on South Park, was offered to Barry White first-who refused the part due to it's irreverevent material.

Watch Hayes' live performance of "Shaft"
Hayes died at the age of 65, in his home in Memphis, when he was found unconscious next to his treadmill.
