What really happens to a fallen star? Biggie. Tupac. Aaliyah. Left Eye. R.I.P. Some of the biggest names in hip-hop and entertainment, all gone before their time. Too young, too talented, they were snatched from us when we least expected it. Just as we were bobbing our heads and moving to their tunes and videos. Yet, when they died, rumors sprung from every corner of the earth. We mourned for them, created shrines and websites to their talents. We wore their tee-shirts. We refer to them like old family friends. We all had a favorite song or a memory that was invoked when we heard it. We missed them. Their music kept them alive in our memories and in our world. Sometimes new CDs were released. It fanned the flames of suspicion. We missed them so much, refused to believe that they were gone. So we imagined that they were still alive. Conspirators cried that Tupac was alive, and living in Africa . Somebody spotted him. Is it true? Is it possible? They were priceless to us fans when they were alive, but who really benefits from their death? If any of these thoughts ever crossed your mind, then you need to read "Rocked Starr," by Collen Dixon.
