Damn, another part of my childhood gone! R.I.P. Ike. Ike and Tina Turner was the shit back in the day and when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, it was a wrap, turned the whole damned show out! Plus, there weren’t that many Blacks on TV then. A true pioneer. No matter how you feel about him, Ike was one kick ass musician who paved the way and set a lot of trends. Rest In Peace, soldier, now you and brother James can really take it to the bridge!!!

He was a great musician, he is created some of the first music that could be considered Rock and Roll. Sure, he liked to go upside a bitch head everyone and a while and he rocked that fade way long after it went out of style but that shouldn’t effect how we feel about his music.

Ike was the man, there would not be a Tina Turner if there wasn’t an IKE!! He made her work hard, she had to take a couple of hits upside the brain but in the end she came out alive and well.
He fell on alot of hard times and that goes to show, coke is no joke. So if Brittney and the rest of those chicks believe they will continue to be successful, take a look at my man Ike. He was one of the baddest musicians that came to be and because of his daily bad habits his career died and nobody wanted to see a junkie and a woman beater. May he rest in peace!

The word Nigger describes Ike Turner in every way. A coke riddled, woman abuser! and would let the woman he loved walk out with nothing but 36 cents and the clothes on her back. What a disappointment to black men.
