The Good Die Young 
RIP
Titus “Baatin” Glover
1974 – 2009
***
Titus (Baatin) Glover, the Detroit rapper who co-founded the much-acclaimed Slum Village, has died.
Many details remain unknown at this point, said Hex, the group’s road manager.
Word of Baatin’s passing circulated quickly this afternoon in music circles both locally and nationally, where Slum Village has long been an exalted name in underground hip-hop.
Fellow group founder James (J. Dilla) Yancey, Baatin’s Pershing High School classmate, passed away in 2006.
Baatin, who turned 35 in March, had left Slum Village in 2002 amid health problems, but was reported to have returned for tracks on the group’s upcoming album, “Villa Manifesto.”
“He was a very spiritual brother,” said Detroiter Khalid el-Hakim, founder of the Black History 101 Mobile Museum. “He brought a spirituality to Detroit hip-hop that you didn’t see with other artists. That’s what he was known for.”

I got in this industry because I feel I have what it takes to make a difference. I have been working hard, sleeping less, playing less and then playing more for the past few years…not too many. I write, consult, organize, plan, plot, entertain and work hard to make that difference I focused on in the first place. ILuvLola is a lifestyle…not just mine, yours too, so give what you can so that you can make that difference with me.

Almost 20 years old. I love music (all types) and everything in that surrounding area from movies to TV to fashion: I love it all. I'm extremely opinionated which is a good thing but can sometimes be a bad thing. I hold no punches and I'm straight to the point, but I swear I'm a lovely person :D

I'm a 20-something full time student with a great passion for writing and love anything and anyone that will stimulate my mind. I enjoy the simple things in life with a lil' flair. You'll either love me or hate me, but I'm sure you'll love me. You won't catch me without my mp3 and my blackberry. THEY ARE LIFE. "To whom much is given, much is required". Play hard but always remeber to work harder.

I write, I create & I learn as I go. My ears feel naked without headphones and I'm a blackberry monster til death. I write CD reviews for fun on my phone & I see music videos in my head. X-style slow-mo, video chicks & all. I'm a little neurotic. No, a lot; but I'm your favourite daydreamer's favourite daydreamer.
