So, i'm in the car riding home Monday June 13th. Im trying to gather my thoughts so I can come at Stack Bundles with the business all together so he don't think i'm on no B.S. - A week earlier he gave me his number and said hit him up about promotion. Cool! I was hype because I had been a fan since he jumped on the scene with Riot Squad, Desert Storm, Clue, Paul Cain, Fab and Joe Budden. He always stood out to me cuz he had that cocky swag, his style was different .. and my boy AveBoogie is gonna get on me about speakin on another dudes voice, but he had that ill voice that commanded your ear. (no homo) - anywayz, before I got a chance to hit him up, betta yet before he really got a chance to blow up he was murdered in Queens, NY. Dag-Gone shame..he was on his way .. although i'm not the biggest DipSet/Byrdgang/Jim Jones fan, I respect Jimmy for seeing that Rayquon Elliot (Stacks Govt) had a world of talent and was in the midst of getting him that worldwide shine he deserved .......
NOW, why is it that so many DJ's decided to pay homage to Stack after his death? Was he not nice in the booth while he was with us? How is Stack gonna benefit off of this? Or is it the DJ that is gonna benefit off of this? DJs who decided to throw together a mixtape of the self proclaimed 'Gorgeous Gangsta' should ask themselves why are they in the mixtape game. How easy is it to get love off the mixtape of a newly slain emcee? How about getting ahold of the artist while he is here and putting together a hot mixtape? I read the blogs, see the comments 'Stack is nice', 'RIP Stack', 'Stack was the dude' - funny how I never heard this when he dropped 'Take A Picture' or the instant classic 'Bundles Hot' - take this advice from a self proclaimed MIXTAPE A&R - if you gonna do a Stack joint, the thing to do is get at ARTISTS who was good with Stack, have them supply drops honoring Stack .. if you are on your grind, you can seek out individuals who can supply you with exclusives, not stuff I heard on OLD mixtapes 'Bidding War' or 'My Life is Like a Movie' .. then you can drop and original, classic mixtape. All i'm seeing now is a waste of my time. Put some effort behind what you do, because your work shows you just like to compile songs and call it a mixtape. STEP YOUR GAME UP, mixtape DJ's .. if you not gonna do it right, let Rayquon Elliot rest in peace.
Ya'll coulda spared us this mixtape and other 'Best of Stack' mixtapes. Shout to to Clue, Big Mike and the official mixtape up top this blog that paid homage while he was still here. OUT.

Congrats on the blog and business in general. Good lookin on the shout too...
Peace to the homie Stack. I wasn't the biggest fan of dude (Although I gotta say, it would've been ill to hear sun spit on Fabolous' "This is Family" track.), but hearin of another brotha losing his life far too soon due to violence is always disheartening.
It's dissapointing to see evidence of DJ's exploiting the passing of Stack for commercial profit. While I'm sure this is not a global issue, when you understand the predatory nature of the "rap game", it's a virtual certainty that some are leachin off his name.
At the same time, like you mentioned, Stack hadn't really bubbled yet. He did his Riot Squad, Street Family thing. Flipped to Byrd Gang and was poised to make moves with Jim Jones, but as fate would have it, dude's life was cut short....Damn shame!
Dj Blackhawk here. I read your blog i wanted to make it clear that i never tried to make money or gain any kind of fame from the stack tribute tape i did. I never sold a copy of the tape and only gave them away for free. The only reason that i made the tape was to show respect to one of my favorite artists. I had stack on a couple of my other mixtapes before his death.
Blackhawk .. i will say the cover is ill .. and i see ur point. Just that soon as he passed, I was like 'watch how many Stack joints pop up' - - to me it seemed too easy to do .. but i listened to ur joint and its official .. i just wasnt in love with the idea at all, cuz i've never seen an official feature that didn't have DJ Clue all over it. but i feel you on payin homage .. i mean, he was that DUDE. i'ma get at u about ur other inquiry ..
He was that dude. Its a shame hes gone. You ever need any help with ur blog hit me up. like if u want a logo or anything like that.
