LUCKY DUBE’S RECORD LABEL, GALLO, MOURNS HIS TRAGIC LOSS
The staff of Gallo Record Company are devastated by the news of the tragic passing of reggae legend Lucky Dube. Lucky was slain in an attempted hijacking in Rosettenville in Johannesburg last night, at approximately 8pm, whilst dropping off his children at a family members house.
Although Lucky attempted to escape the scene, he had been fatally wounded from the hijacker’s attempt to steal his motor vehicle, and he died almost instantly.
Senseless and random, the death of Lucky Dube leaves a great void in the music industry, as 25 years of music suddenly ends in tragedy.
South African born but globally revered, Lucky Dube was one of the country’s most toured and beloved artists ever. His music touched millions around the world, primarily through his 22 recorded albums – in Zulu, English and even Afrikaans – many of which have been record breakers with phenomenal sales from around the globe.
As a frontline artist in the reggae genre, Lucky’s creativity and inventiveness kept growing.
Compelling in his musicianship and intriguing in his lyrical content, Lucky’s sonic daring to take his genre to new heights never failed to amaze even the most ardent fans, whilst reigning in new devotees to his magic every day.
His energetic band toured with him from continent to continent as South African musical ambassadors, and his live performances have earned him fans and accolades the world over.
Lucky joined Teal Records (later to become Gallo) as a fresh-faced young Mbaqanga singer in 1982. Five albums later he found a genre that spoke to his soul and changed the way he viewed the world. This genre was Reggae.
With his long-time sound engineer and best friend Dave Segal, he created some of the most legendary pieces of reggae music ever recorded, including the tracks Prisoner, Taxman, Slave, Victims, Together As One and Respect – all social anthems that garnered him the adoration of the people of his country – and across the globe.
Lucky was an artist that continued to break international barriers and recently just signed a deal with Warner Music International, securing him album releases across Europe of his latest album Respect.
Ivor J. Haarburger, CEO of Gallo Music Group is deeply saddened by the loss. “Lucky was not just an extraordinary artist, he was a personal friend. We go back over twenty years and had both a business and personal relationship. It’s so sad to lose such a great friend and so tragically, why?”
There are very few words that capture the magnitude of this devastating loss. As a musician, father and colleague, Lucky was one of the most charming, respected, selfless and dedicated people to have lived. He will be sorely missed.
Lucky Dube was survived by his new wife Zanele and his 7 children Bongi, Nonkululeko, Thokozani, Laura, Siyanda, Philani and his brand new three-month old baby Melokuhle.
Should you wish to send a message of condolence to Lucky’s family, please email Lucky@gallo.co.za or fax on +27 (0) 11 340 9471

Nas confirms album title will be epithet
By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY, AP Music Writer

To some, it’s a hurtful racial epithet. For Nas, it’s an album title.
The rapper told MTV News that he would indeed be naming his new album after the N-word. And he denied earlier reports that the album’s title would be spelled “N—a,” considered in some circles a less inflammatory epithet. He said the disc is due out Dec. 11.
“(People) shouldn’t trip off the (album’s) title; the songs are crazier than the title,” he said in an interview posted on MTV’s Web site.
But some have been outraged by the rapper’s choice.
“The title using the ‘N’ word is morally offensive and socially distasteful. Nas has the right to degrade and denigrate in the name of free speech, but there is no honor in it,” the Rev. Jesse Jackson said in a news release. “Radio and television stations have no obligation to play it and self-respecting people have no obligation to buy it. I wish he would use his talents to lift up and inspire, not degrade.”
There were reports that his label, Def Jam, had scuttled the title idea. But Nas told MTV that he has had no opposition from the label, and said his intent in naming the album the N-word was to take the sting out of it.
“We’re taking power from the word,” he added. “No disrespect to none of them who were part of the civil rights movement, but some … in the streets don’t know who (civil rights activist) Medgar Evers was … they know who Nas is,” the rapper said, referring to the civil rights leader slain in the 1960s.
“And to my older people who don’t know who Nas is and who don’t know what a street disciple is, stay outta this (expletive) conversation. We’ll talk to you when we’re ready. Right now, we’re on a whole new movement. We’re taking power from that word.”
A representative for Def Jam did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment from The Associated Press sent after business hours.
The use of the N-word is common in rap, though rapper Chamillionaire recently declared he would no longer use that word or curse in his rhymes.
Actually, on a serious note – both Howser and Gotty are correct. I think Dame took all the BS and helped a lot of people around him with his presence. Still, I’d love to give him a dry slap and tell him to stop acting like an arsehole.
Actually, speaking of Dame Dash – whats the Dame Dash Music Group – his label – doing right now. I don’t think I have personally seen or heard an album with that record label on it since Sigel’s ‘The B.Coming’.
Anyone know what Dame is doing in terms of the music business at the moment, because for a man as usually everpresent as him he’s been very quiet in recent times.

“Actually, speaking of Dame Dash – whats the Dame Dash Music Group – his label – doing right now.”
Last I heard…
He had no distributor.
KOCH is the new home for Dame Dash Music Group.
^ that, plus I know his wife’s clothing line must be doing ok b/c they just did a feature on her in Newsweek.
Sure, Dame took a lot of weight for his people and that company, and I’m sure he has some charity and upliftment in him, but he never seemed to say or act that way publicly. He never seem to do anything to redeem all that “cake-aholic” bullshit. Jay speaks on his people, Kanye speaks on his people…I never got that from Dame. Arrogance is fine, but you have to be able to show a different side.
