MC Breed, a 37-year-old rapper from Michigan who earned strong praise for his 1993 hit “Gotta Get Mine” in which the late Tupac Shakur was featured, has died of kidney failure. Breed reportedly died in his sleep at a friend's house.
MC Breed, real name Eric Breed, built an extensive discography from his debut with DFC in 1991 through 2004. His most successful, 1994’s Funkafied, hit #9 on the U.S. Hip-Hop charts while landing at 106 on the Billboard charts.

Heart Attack Grill a real burger joint in Chandler, Arizona. It has one interesting business concept that I doubt the Surgeon General would give his seal of approval on. If you have naked photos of your wife on your cellphone, be sure to keep it safe.
That's sound advice a man in Fayetteville, Arkansas failed to heed.
Phillip Sherman mistakenly left his cell phone behind at a local McDonald's, and now he and his wife, Tina Sherman, are suing the fast food joint for $3 million after nude photos of her that were on the phone found their way to the Internet.
According to the lawsuit, Phillip forgot the phone in July and was assured the employees would keep it safe. However, the naked pictures of Tina ended up online, and the Shermans are blaming the workers at the McDonald's restaurant.
The couple is seeking damages for suffering, embarrassment and the cost of having to move to a new home.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is a reality. The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008. "Chinese Democracy," infamously delayed since recording began in 1994, goes on sale Sunday.
"We never thought this day would come," Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "But now that it's here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."
Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper's Web site. They'll be honored until Feb. 28.
Have economic hard times avoided you so far? Well, they don’t have to, because there are plenty of investment opportunities for people with just too much disposable income.
Perhaps you’ve seen the Snuggie, a fleece blanket that’s basically a robe, with arm holes and a hood. It’s $19.99 plus shipping and handling charges, which I’ll assume to be an extra $35. For this investment, the Snuggie solves a problem I never knew existed — having to choose between the warmth of a blanket and not having your arms trapped under a blanket.
Dressed in Snuggies, otherwise dignified people attend outdoor sporting events and campfires, completely unaware they look like a neon-colored monk community.
And, as my friend Andy fears, they’re available just in time for the holidays.
“I believe one of my classmates has a snuggie and loves it,” he e-mailed me. “I fear we will all be getting them for Chistmas.” Not to be topped, I responded, “Maybe you’ll be able to use it to dust off those singing fish wall hangings.”
Or maybe exercise is your thing. Consider sinking your dollars in the SpeedFit, a human-powered treadmill/transportation unit. As you run on the SpeedFit, it transports you down the road, which is the same thing you could accomplish by running without a SpeedFit. Just find the online video, because words fail to describe the sheer stupidity involved in this one.
Or, maybe the economy has struck you already. Just drown your sorrows in an afternoon of football. You can debate which is worse — the St. Louis Rams, or the embarrassment of a Pro-Bowl quarterback not knowing the game’s simplest rules.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals could not score in Sunday’s 15-minute sudden death overtime period, meaning the game ended in a 13-13 tie. I thought it would be embarrassing enough for the Eagles to tie the Bengals. But that got negated when quarterback Donovan McNabb didn’t know the game could end in a tie.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Mr. McNabb; I like him and find him to be an asset to the league. But it boggles my mind to imagine McNabb, an NFL starter for nearly a decade, was completely unaware there could be a tie.
Well, I guess it’s acceptable because ties never happen, right? Well, except for that tie that happened six years ago, when McNabb was in the league. Never mind that “T” slot in the NFL standings section, accompanied by “W” and “L,” and don’t hurt your head wondering what McNabb thought the “T” stood for. Never mind that in the final weeks of every NFL season, countless reports are given about league playoff scenarios — scenarios that required the Eagles to get a win or a tie to make the playoffs.
I can only hope that one mistake isn’t an accurate representation of McNabb or the rest of the NFL. But if it is ... hey guys, I’ve got some blankets and exercise equipment to sell you.
