LAST DAYZ . PAY ATTENTION . HOUSTON HAS HAD 10 RAPPERS DIE IN 1 YEAR ALL UNDER 40. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

Houston, we have a problem…

*Not trying to diss. I’m just saying…*

SCOTTYO made a good point. Atlanta hasn’t seen this type of thing happening. I’m not going to suggest or allege that it’s the lean, but what is it?

37 is crazy. That’s scary as hell.

But like Ziggy said, I’ve never heard of him before today. Which is pretty fucked up if he’s the O.G. that XXL says he is.

RIP

Too young to die.

Houston is hurting right now, but as a personal friend of Eric I can testify that his untimely passing was not from any complications of drinking LEAN. That wasn’t OG’s Style…he didn’t sip and was considered to be a pretty healthy dude. His blood pressure problems were something that had been pre-existing for a while. Take a look at Matt Sonzala’s blog HoustonSoReal for a deeper look into the very REAL health issues that are striking a whole new generation of hip hop heads.

Damn houston losing alot of rappers RIP to all of them

houston has so much hip hop history between rapalot and suave house that is ridiculous. houston sound did’nt start with the screwed up sound. they started doing gangsta music. there has been 4 set of geto boys. there was a group before eightball & mjg that recorded the original mr. big. their sound is really a mixture of houston and memphis. crime boss was gonna be the first artist to record with 2pac when he first got out and so on and so on. rapalot and suave house are both the pioneers of the south rap game.

As a close friend of Eric’s it has been incredibly difficult dealing with his passing.
As you can imagine, it has been even more difficult for his family.

I am so very grateful to those of you that have taken the time to honor him with such wonderful tributes and I want you to know how very much it means to his family, especially his boys, to read them and see the outpouring of love and respect for their father.

It saddens me to read some of the comments left behind by individuals that obviously did not know Eric. The stereotypical speculations as to the “real” cause of his death are truly heartbreaking to those of us who knew him.

While not broadcast to the general public, his family and close friends know that Eric has struggled with high blood pressure for several years now. He had been given a myriad of medications in attempts to bring it under control, but none were ever truly successful in keeping it down.

I know that some of you find it difficult to believe that a young, hard working, dedicated hip-hop artist can simply die of natural causes. But the truth is, it can and does happen. His death was not “lean” related, or from any other “stereotypical” cause. It was a stroke, brought on by high blood pressure, which is, unfortunately, a common killer of African Americans. View the stats on The American Heart Association website. Check the facts and have your own blood pressure checked.

As for the REAL 411 on Eric “OGStyle” Woods, as the opening line of his bio states, “OG Style is not your average rapper…”. He was a good friend, a loving father, a hard working, dedicated man that did NOT sip “lean” or even drink alcohol. He wasn’t perfect, or a saint by any means, but he surely wasn’t “stereotypical” or “average” or of seedy character.

From the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul I ask that you please refrain from speculating in these open forums and know that there are family and friends that visit these sites who have truly lost someone near and dear to them. We are reading these tributes to him, with heavy hearts, thinking of how very wonderful it would have been if Eric could have lived long enough to see them.

Its tragic enough that we’ll no longer see his smiles, hear his laughter, get caught up in his excitement over a new beat or project, listen to him go on about some new electronics gadget or video game…please don’t make us have to suffer through post after post of absolute nonsensical rhetoric about “lean” and the likes. That simply wasn’t OG…ever.

Eric, you will be missed…and loved…always

damn the H been hit hard lately… R.I.P.

OG Style Trill - RIP Homie…

[...] as two local rappers died in separate incidents late last week. Eric “O.G. Style” Woods passed away at thirty-seven after suffering an aneurysm, while Arcani Crosswords (née Michael Francis) died at [...]

@Blue - thx for clearing the air on the lean, a lil bit…

for people not from H-town, don’t get it twisted, er’ body down here ain’t sippin lean like dat, real talk…

let the truth be told, sippin’ syrup or drank for years was an ole’ school head high until the SUC (Screwed Up Click) really put it out there like that…oh the SUC is the crew started by Robert Davis b.k.a DJ Screw (now he died cause of the lean)

OG Style used to jam and most of you never heard of them because they were signed to Rap A Lot and back then Lil J wasn’t really pushing the label and it’s artists like that… it was a side hustle if you get my drift…

RIP OG STYLES

Damn,thats shitty,ya’ll dont know shit about rap music…this dude was one of the realest peeps on the scene back in 91. If everyone here has heard “I Miss my Homies” off of Master P’s Ghetto D,”Freeworld” is where pimp c borrowed that beat from yet it was never mentioned in the insert that is why still to this day he is unknown,but what he did for rap-a-lot will still be remembered by all the O.G.’s

Fat Pat didnt die from sippin lean,he was murdered,damn does anyone research anything?
