as salaam alaikum Karel Luck-e Sayed, Inshaallah all is well and you are a peace. What im doing right now i would consider fake. why?, because its just not me. expressing my self of hurt through social media. I hold a lot back & let out in other ways. I think this is different because i see how much people care, love, miss, & honor you. These last couple of years ive always thought that i put you in a world that was perfect for you, but a cancer to you. You never really wanted to be a party promoter. You wanted to have fun & people around you have more fun. Rewind: We first met in college Lincoln University, but we met not in a good way. 1st meeting was on the basketball court. You really thought u had game coming from lamberton high school. really pimp? The things you did on the basketball court you really had to be the only person who gets away with those things. Upset because the offense didnt go through you so you would shoot between the NBA 3 point line & half court. You would make one & thought u could make the next 10 you shot. Fast FWD Carousel House days everybody would be like Taalib say something to him Im like dont worry hes good we will still win. Dont let u make 2 or 3 man i you wouldnt let us hear the end of it. You had range when u was on. I could count on you for rebounds & hard fouls if anybody had a problem with me on the court or hard fouled me because we was killing them. So me & you both know i didnt care about the shots you took in life i see it. You took the shots nobody else would dare take & u made some so you kept shooting. Rewind: After the days at i think it was 3pm inside the Gym at LU everybody would go to play basketball for HOURS. One day i shooting Dice with some New York cats in Macquarrie Hall. It was a bunch of noise not to far from us gave me a reason to bunch i was up in the game. You(WP) was on side & Frank (Sp) was on the other side. You two was battling for the right to have Luck-e as a rap name lol pretty funny. We didnt know each other at the time so i sided w/Frank south philly. Well Frank lost the battle we had words i laughed like who is this guy. One day in 8th st lounge we was near each other at the bar. Clarence Williams intro us. He said Taalib you know Luck-E Im like nah im cool tho. He said nah hes a good dude & hes into music & so are you. You two should connect so i took your word and connected on top of that you was muslim so we became friends. I cant remember when i started to take parties serious. I would do parties a few times a year i would make sure those few parties never left people minds. 2007 was when everything was a go real parties at 1500 + every single time i got burnt out. I told u i was cool didnt like the attention no more it took my mind off the passing of my Abu & i had to much weight on my shoulders. You told me to keep at it we argued about. So we came up w/ideas You ran James Hughes Memorial Scholarship Foundation. Lets give back over the last 7 years if the venue was crazy it was because u got it. So a super team for the urban market. You would get the venue & i would put together event. Its know way yall cant remember the Gold course, Please Touch, KOP, Comcast building & so many more. Just a few months a go you tried to get back me back at it. Cherry Hill mall, the gallery mall, or just shutting a major block down. I feel like 2007 when i gave u that born day party every year after that you kinda forced me to lol. You always had crazy ideas even when i stopped you kept at. Just more private, game nights, paint ball trips, haunted house trips, kiss the cook, thursday nights down ridge ave, tues nights at parkside baq hall. I turned you into an animal. I had a party TPDS you did a party down ms tootsies. I hit u and said how did u do? u laughed and said ninja u know the whole city was at yours, but i bet u i made more $. You had a sponsor cut a check - we laughed on the phone. i respected you really didnt need me to do your own thing. you would call and tell me your ideas & i would tweak and say go for it. They was more your speed you was very great at bringing people together small or big just for laughs and fun. You might had something at every small or huge venue in the city. 30 people at a bar or 4000 people at a mall you made it happen. You had every dancer on speed dial they was your friends they begged u to bring them here for parties. You called me & said Will i am wants to go out. I said yea what ever he was sitting next to you. We took him around the city. It wasnt his cup of tea, but he had fun. Carousel House: every wed we played ball for YEARS. You would leave your office right around the corner we hooped after talked trash after that go some eat. debreauxs soul food or Breezes. during games you would jack from half court 5x if say yall dont want to pass im shooting.. Nobody would say anything to u just look at me like Taalib get him. I would laugh because it was funny. You spoke so highly off bucky & i think u was pissed when you brought him up to LU & i already knew him lol - you couldnt wait until you he touched the city agai. Bucky i kept him cool until u got home. he was so happy so damn happy. So much went on at these parties behind the scenes it brought a lot of us together even when it was bad i made it all good. We all had fun & made some money most important the people that came to the events had a blast. We won every Promoter Tourney that ALi had in germantown Sidebar they was always during Ramadan allah was with us as always. We lost Ali first outside league summer was crazy & yea i was to stubborn to allow the young cats start over me... Ha! We lost in the championship in overtime i think. Crenshaw who was killing his the buzzer beater my dumb ass was calling timeout. Refs cheated gave me the time out & we lost my bad.. you wouldnt let me hear the end of it. When i did have a party you knew that Unc or Steph would like u walk pass i never had a actual list i thought that was wack. You would pay sometimes because you would get phone calls from everybody like are u going to Taalibs party & can i go with u because they didnt want to pay the five lol. - You would make a stat yes Hes having a party & no u cant go with me. You would have me on the phone in tears. You would tell me all the people who allegedly hated me i told u i didnt care because they didnt know me. Nobody hated u if they did they was just jealous u made everybody smile. Now u can see why i didnt care because people who know me love me & know that im a great friend. I just wasnt that social - How hard its for me to write this, because i dont like people in my business im private, but this long ass stat is what u did EVERYDAY ALL DAY. I would call and say how are u working and on facebook all damn day. You looked up to Tumar and Siddiq so much. They inspired u x 10000000000. They also was so there for you 10000000000000000000000000 when you passed. Tues i saw u at the Usher concert you smiled Thanks pimp & kept going. Earlier that day we at senator vincent hughes vertans day event where u know i was pissed u know why, but we talked trash busted on Security acting like Obama was there, but didnt secure the back gate people slipped right in. Jumah friday We talked on the phone for over an hour. We spoke about life & your daugher gokart championship race at arnolds. I wish i didnt have that meeting, but you posted pictures showing she won. She said i was fast they was slow had her trophy in her hand. Shes all smiles miss u but all smiles. You was there for me when my abu passed - i thank u for that. any and everything we talked about a lot u was there. You helped my friends get jobs you connected a lot of people. you had events from 15 to 3000 people. you told me to get married and have some children friday - curtis jones told me that monday. dont worry i will because when allah takes me away i want to leave greatness to cont just like u did with Amerah & Chase. I met your whole family majority i didnt know. I thank them for granting your wishes. Im proud of them for getting through this and understand everything. Your umie is a G she took it hard, but stood tall. i was in another world at the janazah, but what i can tell you is u saw it first had. sista clair muhammad was jammed packed. You know the same way it is when we go there for the EID. yea the same way..... i can hear u know man 30 a head thats 30k lol yea your last party was your best one. You are truly missed & loved. im drawing blanks so its alot that i didnt post or some i wont because that was just for u & me. Mu, Siddiq, Tumar, Curtis, & Bucky. What we went through i will never forget and i tried to be the strong one because i knew yall hurted bad. so i thank you as a team we got it done & made it awesome. I love you i miss you i hurt for you. i tried my best that u had a perfect janazah. This social media post is for you because ive told u this a million times since Saturday night and i feel like you wanted me to write this so you can read and for me to stop telling you lol. Ps, Your family and friends will be ok. You rest well - Love Taalib salaam alaikum
