R.I.P. Rob G aka Hood Baker

October 30th 2012 we lost a bright, energetic, vibrant, intelligent soul. Robert "Rob G" Barrett was more than another local artist I posted on Only4TheReal.com, he was my friend. Rob G and T.O. Da Prezident were the first artist I shot a video for, I attended countless shows and events with him and countless "sessions" arguing rap, and just all around Real Nigga Shit. Rob G was just a real ass nigga that just happened to rap, I don't know the details behind his death but it's just sad such a positive and God fearing man could be taken from us so soon. Remember this face, save me a place Rob. You will be sorely missed.

RIP Rob "Rob G" Barrett

It modeled the makeup and philosophy of Olive Harvey Middle College, with it's mixed classes of 6th, 7th, and 8th Graders. Instead of being called a "Student" every child was referred to as a "Scholar", and treated as such. The atmosphere of the school was more like a family re-uniting everyday than attending school. And just like every family has a "Mother", Ms. Hawkins was ours. Ms. Hawkins was Sweet, but tough and she always let you know she was In-Charge. Last week I was invited to a Group on Facebook "Ms. Helen Hawkins Saved MY LIFE. What about you?...
