i know one of my west coast nikkaz got the real story behind Mausberg death; all i know is that he is that he got killed on the 4th of july
i dunno how many of ya feel the same way but out of all these rappers passings, (rip to all), i honestly felt the passing of Stack Bundles the most. That nikka getting killed truly hurt my heartlike as if i knew the nikka. His mixtapes still get daily burn and whenever someone mention him i get that sick feeling in my stomach. that nikka was one of the best to come out of NYC, fukk what ya heart.

I still feel like Byrd Gang was supposed to be that NY crew to keep them relevant on a mainstream level. Max and Stack was supposed to stay down with them, Juelz probably would've eventually got down with them....in Jimmy's temporary selfishness he missed a chance to be the boss of something a lot bigger IMO

My bad breh if i worded it wrong, but i was hoping somebody else on this board would have the insight on the real story behind Mausberg death. nikkaz want to talk about how stack was suppose to blow to which i agree; but no doubt in mind Mausberg would made some noise on the west coast. He had nothing memorable gust appearances on top dogg, rhythmalism, Balance and options, connected project before he passed; plus his Posthumous album is a west coast classic with a single get nekkid that was buzzing throughout the streets.

EDDIE F.: I think the group really lost something when Troy passed.
I was right there [when Troy fell]. I was one of the first people to actually see him [fall]. There was a lot of misconceptions cause a lot a times people say, Oh, yeah, he fell off a stage and just to set the record straight it wasnt that he fell off a stage. You know how coliseums or convention centers have like the exit ramps that actually go around the arena and eventually go down to the ground level? Well, there was just one of those ramps and it was elevated in the arena. The thing was, though, when you come outta the arena, you really had no perspective that you were two or three stories up in the air. It just felt like you comin out of a regular stage like at a school or somethin and [the grounds] right there.
So what happened was everybody was just playin around and I think somebody had either rolled a garbage can or a cart or somethin, and Troy had jumped up on the side of a little concrete barrier. You know how you jump up and you kinda move your legs to the side so whatever wont hit you and you kinda support yourself but you really on that little wall and kinda supportin with your hands What it was is that he lost his balance and fell over the side, but when he first fell nobody didnt think anything of it because it didnt feel like you were that high. It just seemed like he might of fell 10 feet, 15 feet maybenot even that high.
When we looked over; I just remember me and a friend of mine ran to the wall and looked over the side and it was just way high upit was like two stories up in the air. It was like the height of a street lamp or something like that. I remember Troy was on the ground and it was concrete down there. I just remember at that point everybody just lost it and everything just stopped.
Everybody ran down the ramp and when we got down the ramp I saw that he had like a big gash in the side of his head where his head had hit the ground, and at that point we just like slow motion. Everybody was just jumpin around and just yellin and everything just turned blurry.
It just so happened that there was an ambulance right there underneath the ramp. From where he fell, the ambulance was like no less than 40 feet away, so it was like he almost fell right in front of the ambulance. They turned on the lights and I didnt see them like actually pick him up and put him in the ambulance or whatever cause at that point it was just like everybody was hysterical and everything was in slow motion and then from there it just turned into like a whole mayhem of everybody rushin to the hospital.
Troy survived the fall. He didnt pass until [later] at the hospital. I dont remember the exact details, but I remember his mother had come down and you know it was enough time for people to come down Public Enemy was performing [when Troy fell] so they werent outside, and Im not sure if Kid-N-Play had went on yet or if they were going on, but everybody eventually ended up coming by the hospital. I remember Kid-N-Play being at the hospital, Chuck D, Prof. Griff, people like that being at the hospital Im not sure if they had him on life support or what. I dont remember those details, but I do remember that everybody was in the hospital trying to see if he was gonna be okay and unfortunately [he passed].
Ill be honest with you, though, I think the group [Heavy D & the Boyz] really lost something when Troy passed, obviously, but its like I think even though the records were gettin bigger, the group was growin apart cause Troy was a lot of things. First of all, he was the glue to the group. He was the one person that really brought everybody together, because he was really great friends with [G-Whiz], Hev, and me, but all separately. We all knew each other, but Troy was the one who knew everybody as a friend. So he was the glue of the group.
Like anybody that has friends; it might be that one friend thats best friends with everybody. When its time to get something started or Yo, we gonna go hang out here, there be that one person thats gonna call everybody and kinda organize everything and get everybody together and Troy was that person So we lost that, and I think thats ultimately why the group started drifting apart. Then, also too, the group wasnt symmetric anymore I was always kinda in the background or whatever, but it was kinda like now Im in the front, and its like Hev and [Whiz] were like one person [on the stage]. It was no longer that other person. It was like a galaxy and then you lost something. Now everythings spinnin different. Its not the same and it definitely took a toll on the group.
I knew [the anniversary of Troys passing] was around this time, but I didnt know it was [the 20th]. I wasnt one to like visit the gravesite, like Im bad with funerals and all of that stuff; I dont really do any of that. Ive been to two, three funerals that I can remember in my life. Thats not something that I really do We didnt go to [Troys] funeral, it was just too crazy because it was just too overwhelming and then it was so much press on it, it was in Mt. Vernon, but just like we were all at the house [together].
I dont have any sons, I have daughters, but theres a couple of us that have sons named Troy, like [our man] Deo, so you know, Troys name carries forward. But Im kinda glad that you guys are doing this [interview] so at least hopefully this can help the spread of the legacy of Troy and he can get the recognition that he deserves.

This is what happened to Scott La Rock Sterling. Dnice was in highschool when Scott brought him into Bdp. Being from the south bronx, connected, humble and unassuming D never really had trouble navigating the uptown jungle. Once he joined Bdp, hate and jealousy led to him having beef in school. He told Scott he was dropping out. Scott being a college graduate, gave him an ultimatum, no school, no Bdp. At that point D left the group for a short time, but eventually Scott was able to convince him to return to school. . One day, (pre cellphones & internet), Scott was hanging with D and was on a business call. At the time D claimed he only knew one person with a house phone, which was a school female friend from childhood and his neighborhood. He called her to Bs, but at somepoint in the call her bf got on the phone, and began to threaten D. Mind you D had no idea who this brother was. Almost a year later D claims, he is walking around Highbridge projects with a dealer named Uptown he thought was his friend. He claims Uptown began to speak to a group of teens and then he vanished. D says that at this point he was surrounded by the group. The exboyfriend of his female friend was present, initially unbeknown to D. This confrontation ended up with D being pistol whipped and bleeding badly. When he called Scott for help, Scott felt that this was another incident that was going to send D backwards in his progress again. He assembled a team of 5, one being a security/ goon affiliate. We also now know that these guys ( Bdp) were accompanied by Chris lighty and the Violators, who met them at highbridge, but stayed inconspicuos. Long story short, D points out the dude, and the security cats goes to work, Debo-in all the young dudes present. Scott was able to cool everyone down, and apparently they all dapped it up to be squashed before departing. According to some of the Violators and the group of cats in the Jeep with Scott, when they were in their car pulling off, shots emerged from the bushes and the roof of one of the buildings in a crossfire. Scott got hit in the neck, and actually according to what ive read should have lived. What ever went wrong at the ER , he eventually slipt into a coma.
Very sad, Mc Search spoke about himself holding Scott's hand while in the er, and Scott began to tear and convulse as if he wanted to tell him something. Krs has only recently forgiven Dnice for what he thought took his friend from him. Dnice told the story to Combat Jack only, and for the first time in 2014. He actually does therapy. Two of the kids present were tried and aquitted, not do to evidence as much as the chaos of the crossfire, and also the subject of intent to hit Scott, who apparently wasnt a target.
