May 21, 1972 - March 09, 1997 To the man who changed my life when I heard his voice for the first time: I was eight years old, sitting in my grandfather's car. He always listened to La Mega but he was feelin' himself that night. "One more chance" came on... the remix, of course. "First things first: I, Poppa, freaks all the honeys" Mind. Blown . Like Ya don't understand, I really wasn't supposed to be listening to him but for some reason my abuelito (Ito, for short) let it play for a little while and I was in EAR HEAVEN!  until he said "I get deeper and deeper".... then my grandpa said, "Dios mio, mija NO." Lol I was HOOKED thooo! From that day forth, my ears sought his voice when I passed cars while out with my grandmother or if someone played him really loud while they washed their car outside. That was until I got my own portable cd player. Ya know I was TOO lit and Life After Death was the first album my dad bought me. ...
