Legendary Manager, and the power behind Violator Management has passed away from a self-inflected gunshot wound. People would be amazed at howmany successful or up and coming entrepreneurs and artists that are suicidal...this is just one man that finally gave in. I say this cos i confess to have been suicidal at some point in my life. It is a said story to all that where close to him, and those he has helped in the past. And, if you are a Busta Rhymes fan, you can't but have heard him shouting out "Violator" a couple of times on his songs.
