They Having Funerals at the club now ....NO CASKET!!! I done seen it all!!!

[Carolina Slim]

This got me thinking about Bernie Mack and Samuel Jackson in the movie "Soul Men", when they had the late legendary singer's body, played by John Legend, on display at a home going concert. I didn't find that film all that amusing. It was all based on getting together to attend a former group members funeral. Plus I remember the song "I'm Your Puppet". That song always sounded kinda sad, but not sad like this movie made it sound.

LOL this was the best part of Soul Men

Been to bliss and on stage plenty of times but I don't think I'm going back

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

I'm all for celebration of life

Having a party for the deceased is better than a funeral to me

However using the dead body as a prop is not right
Didn't watch the video but the still pic is...

Smh .

Do it like a wake. Have the body in a separate room

 

[Buzzed Lightyear]

So that was his final wish or something? "Bro prop me up in the club bro with my skinny jeans on, bro."

 

[BigMan]

These wakes/funeral where the deceased is outside the casket is Not for me

especially not a no club

Exactly! Can't even holler at no hoes because it's a dead dude in skinny jeans just staring at you.

That’s Bliss Club in DC

I don’t believe in propping up a corpse. Clean that man’s body and give him a proper burial.

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

It would be even crazier if the killers are there

That would’ve been wilder than those Detroit dudes who was posing with cardboard cutouts of their dead opps

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Celebration of life.

How our people used to operate during a transition.

I wouldn’t mind having a second line New Orleans type funeral

Facts. But you got a bunch of nikkas all spooked out in here

Granted, I can understand how this might be a big WTF image to a lotta folks. I thought they were just gonna pull him up in a casket, I wasn’t expecting them to have his whole body posted up

Definitely didn’t expect this from DC tho

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Mid.
they should have animatronic
chuckie cheesed that nikka.

Five Nights at Freddy's......​

Better have a rubber or you'll end up just like me.

 

[staticshock]

This is embarrassing. Before I clicked the thread I would swore some bullshyt like this would only go down in ATL

I expected this out of ATL.

Disappointed in DC for this.

lowkey, you do expect this out of ATL

Something like this happened with Shawty Lo. His boys took his dead body to a strip club.

yea but he was still in the casket.

I'm learning this deceased rapper who went by the name Goonew, got killed on Walters Lane in District Heights, right in front of the store me and my brother use to go to get our beer. My brother had moved right off of Walters Lane in '85. The neighborhood was nice then, but it slowly started to change around the early 90's. This area use to remind me a little of how Atlanta was in the mid 90's, with a lot of cool Black people. Man did that change (and so did Atlanta). But the Walters Lane area didn't get as bad as Marlboro Pike, especially the part near Jerry's Subs, close to the SE line, when they flooded that section with drugs. By the time Goonew was born, that section of Marlboro Pike wasn't as drug infested like it once was, but it was still the hood. It looks like that whole area on up to Pennsylvania Ave and the Watlers Lane intersection, done went back to the dumps.

Btw, District Heights is where I lived before I moved to Atlanta. I use to stop an Penn Mar Shopping Center to buy a Luxe-T T-Shirt every time I'd take a trip home, until I came back to my car one visit, and found all my hook-caps gone. Haven't stopped there while visiting since. I still think it was someone from my old neighborhood, which I never did visit. I hated that neighborhood, and the crime in that area, although it was a new subdivision. I think I was the only one living there that had a White Collar job. I remember a brother got robbed and murdered in our subdivision, and a lot people on my IT job thought I would be next, especially since I lived alone. But I still felt bad vibes in that subdivision.

Anyway, I would have never thought they'd be displaying anybody's corpse at a nightclub. I knew the area changed even more since I left, but I didn't think it would changed like this.
