TMZ has confirmed that music legend and the former Mr. Anna Mae Bullock has died. He was 76.
Turner apparently died in his home in San Marcos, Calif., just outside of San Diego.
Sources close to the family tell TMZ he may have died in his sleep.
TMZ caught up with the R&B star back in May after the legend spent a night in jail after his bogus arrest over a recalled 1989 warrant.
Ike was married four times, most famously to Tina Turner. The famous singing duo had seven top ten R&B songs and famously divorced in 1978 amidst his constant abuse towards her.
Ike has four known children: sons Ike Jr., Michael, Ronald and daughter Mia.
The Recording Academy issued the following the statement about Turner’s passing: “There is no doubt that Ike Turner was one of rock and roll’s great architects with his genre-defying sound as an instrumentalist and bandleader … As a two-time GRAMMY® Award winner and recipient of The Recording Academy’s 2004 Heroes Award, Ike’s legacy as a groundbreaking pioneer in the music industry will never be forgotten.”

Check this Q&A real quik with Rick Ross….
I decided to start looking at things from a different perspective, just for arguments sake and I can’t even front…. these rapper dudes are quite the idiots… you can pretty much tell that they are a few tomatoes short of a salad and that if wasn’t for rap… they’d be on somebodies most wanted list. The fucked up part about this all is that these dumb ass niggers procreate…
–
AllHipHop.com: So what are some of the topics you’re speaking on this go-round? Still rapping about drugs, hustling and money?
Rick Ross: You know I could never change that. That’s just me. And of course I gotta continue to motivate the people that are similar to The Boss; you know what I’m saying? But on this album I also talk about being a Black parent, and trying to be the best father you can. Still caught up in that struggle at the same time, but it’s definitely going to raise a lot of eyebrows. The name of that record is titled “I’m Only Human.” I got my partner Rodney on the chorus. It’s just one of those real heartfelt records. It’s similar to the song “It’s My Time” on the first record, where I talk about the down side to life; you know what I’m saying?

What down side you dumb ass nigga. You got like 1 million in jewelry on …..

Damn… The back hand will never be the same
I didnt even know he was still doing music. He won a Grammy this year. Take that Anna Mae!!!
An speaking on Rick Ross… Next.
All I got to say is Thank God for rap…Cause I dont need to be thinking about Getting Robbed any more than I need be. So the new slogan is
HIP HOP… Keeping Black stupid muthafukkas out of Jail since 1980.

December 13, 2007 @ 12:30 pm
One thing about Ike…
He showed a nigga how to slap a bitch…..
I ain’t one for the violence and all but that beatdown in the movie was oscar worthy…. The passion… the drive…. the fluidity….. the angles that he came from are legendary in the Bitch Slap hall of fame…..
Has there ever been a better wife beater ???
December 13, 2007 @ 12:35 pm
I dont know OJ did kill a bitch and he use to whoop her ass too.. He just paid off the parents so they wouldnt say anything.
December 13, 2007 @ 12:36 pm
The passion… the drive…. the fluidity…..
You make the shit sound like it was Game 6 of the finals…
December 13, 2007 @ 12:51 pm
‘He just paid off the parents so they wouldnt say anything.’
And
@ Nicole Brown’s sister…
December 13, 2007 @ 1:03 pm
Yeah but we’ve never seen seen even a dramatization of OJ’s beatdowns so I don’t have a lot to go on with him. Plus beating up white women don’t count because they deserve it just for being there….
December 13, 2007 @ 1:07 pm
The passion… the drive…. the fluidity….. the angles that he came from are legendary in the Bitch Slap hall of fame…..

Anybody here had a lymphatic drainage massage? I’m scheduled tonight, and I wanted to know what to expect.
December 13, 2007 @ 1:44 pm
But honestly….
How many black dudes get with white women w/o beating on them… “beatibality” is a pre-requisite. She don’t even have to have no money as long as she can take a good punch and still be able to swalllow in the morning.
Black women frown when they see a black man with a white woman but most of yall wouldn’t co-sign his wack ass anyway.
December 13, 2007 @ 1:50 pm

——————
Don’t get it twisted… ass beating is an art that very few have conquered and Ike seems to have that sewn up. …here’s his line…
Aggressiveness…. 9.8
Fluidity….. 9.5
Creativity….. 10
Ambidextrousity……8.5
Pimpocity …… 10
I don’t know what the Japanese judge is gonna give him though….lol.
December 13, 2007 @ 1:52 pm
‘How many black dudes get with white women w/o beating on them…’
Um…

‘Ambidextrousity……8.5′
This nigga right -> HERE.

He used to beat Tina with his “guitar hand” so I had to slight him a bit but I am pretty sure that he has found himself able to swing with his off hand while holding an instrument.
OJ would get a 10 on this one based on his ability to hold a football with oth hands so I am pretty sure he mixed it up when it came to battle…
The father from “STRAIT OUTTA BROOKLYN” seemed to pack a mighty punch also.
December 13, 2007 @ 2:08 pm
‘but I am pretty sure that he has found himself able to swing with his off hand while holding an instrument.’
I quit.
