R.I.P. The King of Philippine Hiphop; The King of Philippine Rap, The Master Rapper. R.I.P. Francis "Kiko" Magalona

This news broke out like a massive wildfire, I received tons of IMs, txt msgs, plurk post about the death of Francis "Kiko" Magalona. At first, I don't believe it.. I can't believe it unless I've seen or read in news. Thanks to one of my plurk friends who gave me this link http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/topstories/topstories/view/20090306-192678/Rapper-Francis-Magalona-passes-away which I have read right away to once and for all confirm the issue. Then when I read it, I still can't believe it or I just don't want to believe it. I have to admit that I'm not really that shock but instead I felt like is this for real? Is this real? He is a poet, patriotic, nationalist, lyricist, mentor, singer, photographer, rapper, innovator, teacher, influence, role model, father, brother and many more that one can describe him. I don't really know him personally. I know him as one of my influence. When I was still young listening to his music, I would memorize his lines and rap it. I still remember those line like "Nasa palad mo, ang kapalaran, kabataan para sa kinabukasan" from his song "Kabataan Para Sa Kinabukasan" which is one of my favorite local rap song. Cold summer nights, Three Stars and A Sun, Kaleidoscope World and so many other songs that is on my list. I still got his album, the 2-disc CD Album of Freeman 1 & 2 and his other albums. His biggest hit for me is the “Mga Kababayan” which is probably his biggest hit and most influential song that he has ever written. I think most of the rappers and aspiring rappers today has idolized and/or being influenced by him. He is probably the greatest lost of the Philippine Hiphop Scene. He has helped so many rappers and people to pursue their dreams. He has inspired and touched so many lives. Until now, I still can’t believe that he died. He never died. He just traveled. He has his place in history. He will never be forgotten. He will forever live in our hearts and minds. He is a King. Long Live the King!

MANILA, Philippines—(UPDATE 2) Rapper-TV host Francis Magalona died of leukemia Friday at the Medical City in Mandaluyong, his co-hosts at the GMA Network’s noontime show “Eat Bulaga” said. He was 44.

Magalona succumbed to severe sepsis as a complication of leukemia and passed away at 12 noon, said Philippine Daily Inquirer sources who were not authorized to talk to media.

Magalona had been undergoing several chemotherapy sessions since he was diagnosed with the disease in August last year but was too weak to fight the infection, sources said.

Magalona is the son of popular 1950s movie tandem Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran.

“I don't want a media circus. I want privacy with my family,” Francis said in a phone interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, after reports of his illness broke out.

“What I'd rather talk about is how to we can solicit blood donations to replace the supply that I have consumed in the hospital,” said Magalona, the father of eight children.

Francis' wife, Pia Arroyo-Magalona, said her husband started exhibiting symptoms in March this year. “It was very gradual, hindi siya biglaang lumabas [it didn't manifest right away].”

Bridge Da Gap – On D' Uda'ground

2008-04-27T23:34:00.000-07:00

Bridge Da Gap is a group which aims to provide and spread positive rap music. Their latest album “On D’ Uda’ground” contains songs which I can describe as a non-typical pinoy rap which values life, love, friendship, and things evolving around their surroundings. Unlike other albums which contains lyrical attacks, verbal assaults on how tough they are or how good they are… this one is a listener-friendly. It contains no explicit lyrics which added bonus to listeners because you can play it in your house or other places without fearing that others who can hear will criticize you for having a song with explicit content.

Of all its 12 tracks, I have chosen 7 songs to be included in my online playlist. If I have chosen these songs this means that of all the 12 tracks, 7 tracks are very good to listen to which amounts around 60 – 70% of the entire album. This is how I decide to buy an album or to refer to my friends, if the album is 30 – 40% (or 3-4 songs of the entire album are good) quality I buy it and refer it but if the album fails to impress me or should I say only 20% is good, I don’t refer it. I also have encountered buying an album with 1% quality which I do not even play or listen now. I feel it’s a pure waste of money. The funny thing about our music industry is that artists or rappers do not care about their fans or listeners. Sometimes they fail to impress the buying public. Was it worthy to give your fans 1% quality music? I don’t think so… maybe it’s one of the major reason why hip hop in the Philippines is still struggling and our airwaves is being dominated by foreign hip hop acts.

With this album, I put them in my Pinoy Rap collection. Its listener friendly, positive music, and its worth buying. Bridge Da Gap is composed of: Eternal, Kira Cheatz, Mykel, Jumil Makaluma, 12Gauge, Mensahero, Slick & Kaliphunan.
