Shakir Stewart

Hurt is the only word that comes to mind when I heard about Shakir. To everyone that's just a fan of this site and not in the industry Shakir was huge because he was one of us. I speak for any black male you see working in this industry that is not an entertainer and is more on the business end. We all saw our self in Shake. He was a very focused individual.


Ironically when I heard the news I was bumpin that UGK in the player and this song was on.



Today is just a day that I want to salute Shake. Like I said, we all in this industry know what we are up against. The black male in America is about to go through some difficult shit. I'll expand on that later. But Shakir thank you for being a solid cat that we could all be proud of. When you saw this dude working I'm telling you, you could see the years of grind that we have in us all. Shakir, thank you for being you.

And thats the truth...Shakir was the definition of a real dude in my eyes. A great example of a mentor and one who would encourage you in many aspects to do what you do best.

Rest in Peace Shake.

HOLD THE F*** UP.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO EVEN TALK ABOUT. SHAKIR JUST MADE SOME RACIST PERSON SMILE WHEN HE DID THE MOST, ULTIMATE DUMB THING IN LIFE. HE SHOWED THE ALMIGHT GOD HOW MUCH HE LOVE THE LIFE HE GAVE TO HIM.

HE IS GONE FOREVER
LETS MOVE ON TO MORE POWERFUL INDIVIDUALS LIKE J.D, BABY,JAYZ,BABYFACE,DIDDY,DR.DRE,T.I,J PRINCE,SUGE KNIGHT,50CENT AND OTHER STRONG FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE HARD TIMES AND STILL RISE ABOVE THE BULLSHIT.

THIS DUDE IS NO ROLE MODEL FOR US TO FOLLOW.

He might have done great things when he was alive but he took the coward's way out.

I never heard of him before this but I think we need to be a little sensitive. People don't just wake up and decide to kill themselves. Obviously he was a sick man. It's time to stop stigmatising this issue and focus on helping our brothers and sisters. It could have been you, your sister, your brother, your child... so stop with the BS... Who are we to judge????

Only God can judge. We all have demons that we are fighting. His just got the best of him. R.I.P. May god bless your soul.

Everybody talking down about Shakir Stewart needs to fall back. If you don't have anything positive to offer then DON'T comment...period. The human mind is one of the least understood mechanisms ever. There are many mental afflictions that can negatively affect someone's life. Suicide is not something that falls under the category of weak or strong. A mind that is under turmoil is not functioning in a rational manner. So it is important that we learn to help those in need INSTEAD of talking shit!!!!!!!!

Again, If you don't have anything positive to offer then DON'T comment.
