R.I.P BERNIE MAC
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Bernie Mac, the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor and comedian who worked his way to Hollywood success from an impoverished upbringing on Chicago's South Side, died Saturday at age 50.
Bernie Mac, 50, was nominated for a Grammy for "The Original Kings of Comedy."
"Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles, California.
She said no other details were available and asked that his family's privacy be respected.
The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.
Recently, Mac's brand of comedy caught him flack when he was heckled during a surprise appearance at a July fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate and fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama.
Toward the end of a 10-minute standup routine, Mac joked about menopause, sexual infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language. The performance earned him a rebuke from Obama's campaign.
But despite controversy or difficulties, in his words, Mac was always a performer.

"Wherever I am, I have to play," he said in 2002. "I have to put on a good show."
Mac started his comedy career at age 8, with a standup performance at a church dinner. In 1977, at age 20, he took that act to comedy clubs in Chicago.
His film career started with a small role as a club doorman in the Damon Wayans movie "Mo' Money" in 1992. In 1996, he appeared in the Spike Lee drama "Get on the Bus."
Mac went on to star in the "Ocean's Eleven" franchise with Brad Pitt and George Clooney. His turn with Ashton Kutcher in 2005's "Guess Who?" -- a remake of the Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn 1967 classic "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" -- topped the box office.
Mac also had starring roles in "Bad Santa," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Transformers."
In the late 1990s, he had a recurring role in "Moesha," the UPN network comedy starring pop star Brandy.
The comedian drew critical and popular acclaim with his Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show," which aired more than 100 episodes from 2001 to 2006.
The series about a man's adventures raising his sister's three children won a Peabody Award in 2002. At the time, judges wrote they chose the sitcom for transcending "race and class while lifting viewers with laughter, compassion -- and cool." iReport.com: Share your appreciation for Bernie Mac
The show garnered Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for Mac.
"But television handcuffs you, man," he said in a 2001 Associated Press interview. "Now everyone telling me what I CAN'T do, what I CAN say, what I SHOULD do, and asking, 'Are blacks gonna be mad at you? Are whites gonna accept you?"'
He also was nominated for a Grammy award for best comedy album in 2001 along with his "The Original Kings of Comedy" co-stars, Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and Cedric The Entertainer.
In 2007, Mac told David Letterman on CBS' "Late Show" that he planned to retire soon.
"I'm going to still do my producing, my films, but I want to enjoy my life a little bit," Mac told Letterman. "I missed a lot of things, you know. I was a street performer for two years. I went into clubs in 1977."
Mac was born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough on October 5, 1957, in Chicago. He grew up on the city's South Side, living with his mother and grandparents. His grandfather was a deacon in a Baptist church.
In his 2004 memoir, "Maybe You Never Cry Again," Mac wrote about having a poor childhood -- eating bologna for dinner -- and a strict, no-nonsense upbringing.
Mac's mother died of cancer when he was 16. In his book, Mac said she was a support for him and told him he would surprise everyone when he grew up.
"Woman believed in me," he wrote. "She believed in me long before I believed."

Politics & Bullshit by JD Riggz
Politics & Bullsh*t
Blog Entry #1
Yo what it do what it did people?. It's JD Riggz. I'm bringing you my thoughts of the record industry and the shady-ness within it. I'll be doing this every week or so to let you and everybody else know what's up with me and the squad.
Let's get right into it...The rap game is so confusing right now. I hear alot of talk about hip-hop being dead or hip-hop missing something. Honestly, I agree but at the same time hip-hop fans have it in their head already of who they want to listen to. Time's change. And with time's changing, so does the music. People have to realize that you have to forget about hearing the same sound you heard in '93 with De La Soul & A Tribe Called Quest. The music will not be the same because of the progression of not only the music and the business, but ultimatley you. Everybody remembers where they were, who they were with, what they were doing, when they first heard Nas' "Illmatic" or Dr. Dre's "The Chronic". Even recently when you first heard 50 Cent's "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" or Little Brother's "The Chitlin Circuit"(or for some "The Minstrel Show"). With the time chaning, you have to accept change. Me, I have...a little. Right now, most of my favorite "old-school" artists aren't banging out quality music so I resorted to listening to alooot of R&B( Ryan Leslie, Dwele, Rashad, D'Angelo, Van Hunt, etc.) or finding new artists(Wale, Skyzoo-my nigga, Esso, Nino Bless, Jay Electronica, Kid Cudi, Theo, AC, etc.). See, it's as simple as that. Don't complain and run ya mouth just run to the radio and TURN IT OFF.
I still got respect for the rap game but the game has no respect for me. I've done many successful things in the rap industry(not to brag, just saying). But it seems like people don't either understand my music or they don't understand me. "HIStory" in my view, and others, is that it's one of the best mixtape releases to come out this year. That's a good thing. But I think the public, and record executives are confused sort of like I'am. See, when you rap, you want a record deal. Getting that deal is like getting a schloarship to an Ivy League. People in the inside want you but some prick behind his desk says, "You're not what we're looking for". I've had that happen many times so I don't get upset anymore. I'll sit back, smoke, drink and think about the situation. After my blunt went out and I ran out of henny I just dont see what you're looking for. You want somebody who can sell records but nobody's buying records. You want somebody who can sell ringtones, but nobody can afford it. I've heard it all from "you're too lyrical", "you're too hard", "you're too hip-hop" and lastly but not least(this is a good one)"you're too new york".
My peeve about the record industry is you're going broke trying to find the next mainstream super-star but he's sitting right in front of your face. Even if you sign the most underground act, you can splash and dash them into superstar status. Record labels can actually make people buy records. Instead, they want the quick-buck of a ringtone sale. I don't know why labels are thinking short-term but longevity of the labels rest on the longevity of their artists.
Maybe I'm just confused. Maybe I see way more in myself than I should. I think I'm one of the best like any other MC should think the same. It's not being cocky or arrogant it's just the public and press thinks the same thing. Maybe I'm too much of a real nigga for the industry. But all in all, I give this rap game my all. I'm just an everyday man trapped in the everyday struggle trying to make it out. Same with my crew. One day(and soon), I hope people realize my vision, wake-up. Or maybe one day, I can just stopped being confused.
