Static was fine as hell and so talented it broke my heart to hear how he was treated at that hospital and when he cried holding his baby knowing that he wasn’t going to ever see her again 😢 . And his poor mom witnessing it all happen and not being able to help her baby boy

Man I swear KZfaqrs are better than anything a big corporate network can put out. Amazing documentary and RIP, such a horrible way to go out after all his hard work. Rest easy King.

The mishandling of his medical procedures angered me...us black people are always some sort of experiment in the medical field rather than human beings

His voice was so amazing… producing over the TOP…. song writing skills IN HIS HANDS ! HITS already under his belt.. i don’t understand why he didn’t get his chance 💔

Static was one of the most underrated producers/songwriters of all time. Rest In Peace Static!

My son was diagnosed with the same disease as Static......This story broke my heart how careless that medical facility was..... Static said his farewells to his kids and wife because He knew ........RIP Static ❤

As someone who knew him and was a key member of our neighborhood family and community, I’m touched by this video and feel proud of his legacy.

He doesn’t get the credit he deserves. So young and so talented.

The numbers are everywhere in this story. He was 3 years old directing a choir of 30. He was born on 11/11 and died at 33... the fact that the cough developed on the set of the lollipop video is just too coincidental. He was poisoned or something. Definitely looks like sacrifice

I’ve never stopped mourning Stephen Garrett. One of the greatest black producers. His music was healing. Rest in Power King

He was so handsome.

Just in cause no one has said this to you Jeury , your documentaries are so comprehensive and handled with care ! Rip to Baby girl and Static Major .

I got heavy into static in 2007, and I was soooo hurt when he passed the day after my 21st birthday at that. The way his music still touches r&b and hip-hop today is unmatched! Some of favorite songs/collaborations are “I got my”, “one man woman”, all of Nicole Wrays music he did, all of pretty Rickey’s music he worked on, the 100% ginuwine album, the list could go on and on. RIP to one of the best to ever do it, Static Major.

The pic of him standing over Aaliyah’s casket is heartbreaking. Rest in Peace angels 😇😇🕊️🕊️🕊️

He was my friend. Still hurts. Bless his wife and family.

In my opinion he UPGRADED Aaliyah craft in a major way! Her collaboration with Static really set her off. So sad that they both passed. That album was my favorite by Aaliyah. RIP Static and Aaliyah. 🙏🏾🕊🙏🏾🕊..Thank you both for sharing your gifts.. Great channel, keep up the great work!👌🏾🫡

Him crying while looking at his daughter really got to me. Like he know it was going to happen

His death never sat right me much like how I feel about Aaliyah’s death. The doctors was so negligent it was murder.. we was robbed! Smh Static Major was such a great talent and a musical gem…Never got to see the fruits of his labor. A legend in my eyes! He deserved so much better. RIP Static 🕊️🙏🏾❤️ Thank you for covering Static! 🙏🏾❤️ More people should definitely know his story!

The entire doc was great as usual, but the last five mins are why your channel is one of the best on KZfaq covering these topics particularly with black artists. It’s wild how we’re still using the word “conspiracy” after so much evidence has proven most of it to be true.

OMG that’s me in my interview (Midnight R&B Edition) Thank you for showing my show! I truly appreciate it! 🥹👏🏿🌹

Definitely pissed me off when Wayne didn’t say his name

No one will EVER convince me that these rappers & labels don't sacrifice these artists for more fame & money. I will NEVER be convinced otherwise. Especially after a brief stint in the industry. If y'all only knew

Just so happened I’m watching this on 11.11.23 so Happy Birthday Static Major 💜🙏🏽🕊

He didn’t get the recognition he deserved. Artist really played him.

I’m not going to lie, I avoided watching this video every time it showed up in my feed because I knew it would put me in my feelings 😢. His untimely death hit me hard. However, you did a wonderful job covering his career and death👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️.

Song Picks: 1. Love Is Dro (Original) 2. Playa - Neva Too Late 3. Ride Til The Wheels Fall Off 4. Playa - Top of The World 5. Illusion (Demo)

I knew him personally. We have songs that we’ve written together. He was one of the most humblest guys I’ve ever known. Talented and cool AF. I definitely miss him calling me sending me records to hear that we’re coming out on artist.

RIP STATIC & BABYGIRL

Rest in Paradise Aaliyah, Static & Magoo.... 🙏🏾💐🕊

These doctors need to do better... I went into the ER in 2020 with chest pain/pressure, my troponin levels were slightly increased. The doctor at the ER sent me home saying i had acid reflux, i went home only to end up coming right back having a widow maker heart attack, i went into cardiac arrest in the ambulance and had to be shocked 3 times before being rushed into emergency surgery.

I hope his family sued the doctors, the nurses, and the whole damn hospital. What they did was EVIL!! Edit: They shouldve took those people to court and STRIPPED THEIR LICENSES!!! Dont let these people off easy. Did they go easy on Static?

Terrified of the hospital bc of what they’ve done to his sister for it to ultimately happen to him 😢🙏🏾

Static was highly underrated. Rest wall bother.

He was handsome, his vocal was melodious what a genius he was and may his soul rest in peace

Static has an impressive catalog. I hope his family is benefiting.

Static is truly a legend in the music industry. I was so glad to see him back on when Lollipop dropped! Gone too soon. RIP ✨🕊️🩵

Y'all disrespectful towards this man and his family talking about a sacrifice. There are so many unknown people that die from medical screw ups. Y'all are just calling this a sacrifice because he had industry ties which goes to show how much people glorify celebrities

I was pissed when I realized he died before lollipop came out and I’m pissed now. I was young and still so hurt that such talent was gone. 💔

Playa is one the most underrated rnb groups ❤

Playa didn't get the recognition they deserved, especially Static. But they still have fans out here that play the whole album, in addition to other hit produced by Static. Push, Top Of The World, Together, Cheers 2U. Thanks for the music.

Such a senseless preventable death. SMH. But had his solo career taken off Drake definitely wouldn’t have been as popular. Rip to one of the best singer songwriters that ever was 💔

I love how organic artists friendships developed back then…it’s crazy how long the whole basement crew has been knowing one another and how much they e contributed to each other’s careers

This was well put together! I’m always saddened that he doesn’t get the recognition he truly deserves. I met him briefly before his passing in Miami. He performed that night and as me and my friends were leaving he was in the parking lot passing around cds, something was telling me to let him know that I was a fan and love his work, but I didn’t want to bother him. It’s a moment I regret. I don’t think he knew how much his music meant for people. 🙏🏼 RIP Static

I’m from Louisville and static definitely made us impact. We still blasting his music!!! RIP Static. His death really shoo the cry at the time. They couldn’t let him blow all the way up smh

This one made me cry... I had no idea he did all this... The greatest songwriter of our generation... RIP Static Major... Ps.... Always listen to your intuition. It will never lead you wrong.... The fact they him and Aaliyah both passed away of their biggest fears and knowing that something was wrong just is super not fair 🥺💯💛

As a nurse, this angers me. RIP STATIC A TRUE LEGEND!!!!

Cheers 2 U will forever be a classic ALBUM

I’m from Louisville and actually have been in the studio with smoky back in the day! Lol it’s so crazy because this man is soooo underrated! I love this documentary! It actually gives him a few of the flowers he more than deserves for all his many many musical contributions! He literally wrote the soundtrack for my late teenage yrs and the majority of my 20s!❤

THIS WAS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFULLY DONE!!! I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT ABOUT HIM THAT I DIDN'T KNOW! HE WAS SO TALENTED. HE HAD 1200 UNRELEASED SONGS??? WOW!!!! HE LEFT BEHIND AN AMAZING LEGACY! MAY HIS SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PARADISE WITH HIS BELOVED BIG SISTER!!!!!

Wayne should have paid more homage and appreciation for Static.

This is a thorough and beautiful tribute video to Static Major. I saw a mural dedicated to him in when visiting Louisville and just now realizing that he was from there.

This is EXTREMELY DEVASTATING! He was brilliant and gifted!

Good video! I feel like Static's passing was eventually gonna be discussed in this series. I suggest Prodigy from Mobb Deep Or Eazy-E next.

Rest In Peace To Static, Aaliyah, & His Beloved Sister 🙏🏾🕊️

This has to be one of the most underrated musicians ever! He was so talented and gifted, that he couldn't contain it! As for the mishandling of his condition,may all involved see the wrath of God! You did this and it will never be forgotten, you took away one of the greatest of all time,R.I.P Static, you'll always be remembered along with all the great music within your soul! Man took what wasn't rightfully his,God will make them suffer gratefully!

It’s so important to advocate for yourself and your people. Someone should have declined that procedure until the next day. So sad 😢

If there’s ever a biopic for Static Major they have to do it justice and no one should be forgotten from Devante Swing to Aaliyah to Timbaland to Missy and everyone involved and that includes the casting, production and writing of the movie.

Addictive and Lollipop are two songs that never get old in my rotation. RIP Static 🙏🏽

His catalog is INCREDIBLE! The beautiful thing is he lives on through his music. Just thinking about all the people who sing his songs everyday and all of the people who have yet to hear is mind blowing. Music is so powerful and he was a genius with the pen for sure! Thank you for this video! Thank you Static Major, you're truly an inspiration 🙏🏾

I heard of Static Major. I had no idea he passed. RIP to him.

I just learned so much about Static Major from this video. Thank you so much.❤

I did not know Static was THAT man! I really enjoy this video. A very talented young man! He will be missed! Cheers to u was one of my fav..on my playlist❤

This still breaks my heart. This was my guy. His mother and my mother were good friends back in the day. Gone waaaaay too soon man. That solo album he was about to drop was fire and he was definitely about to be on top. Thank you for covering Steve’s (Static’s) story, you did a great job!

This is exactly why people dont trust the Medical Profession.

This was definitely beautifully done. I had no clue of his body of works! My mouth dropped every time an artist and their music was said like “he did that “. That man died so prematurely from the hands of a “medical professional “ and that’s truly sad. RIP Static Major

He wrote all of my favorite songs. Music has not been the same since he’s been gone 😢 RIP

Rip static major and babygirl 🕊️🕊️

This man wrote all the jams. May he rest well

man static major wrote for so many artists its crazy most of the 2000s artist was his writings

I’m from Louisville and I know all of Playa… static is greatly missed! This video made me cry! U did amazing work as far as researching👏🏽👏🏽

This was a very respectful documentary about Static Major. He was a musical genius. May he RIP 🙏🏽

I hope his wife won enough money so the family never has to work a day in their life. What that doctor and hospital did was waaaay wrong I’m shocked. I bet all of those 1200 unreleased music are fire. My hearts broken we lost such a talented young man. 😢

Ironically he didn’t trust doctors after his sisters death, him & his sister died from negligence from the doctors

This was so heartbreaking that this happened right as he was finally about to get the recognition he deserved, I had the biggest crush on Static🥹 and this video shows how Wayne didn’t really acknowledge Statics contribution to his biggest hit of his career smh that pisses me off “the guy that gave it to him”like wtf and this is coming from a Wayne fan..RIP to the legend Static Major💔💔💔

He changed the 2000s. Most of the hits were summertime anthems. Grind on me was played around the clock. Lollipop as well, and we know they had like 50 remixes to it. Amazing to learn he’s behind the other culture classics.

I Thank you so much for this video I remember Static and I never knew he was so talented and wrote for so many people. I only thought he was on Lollipop. May he rest in Eternal Peace🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

You're a very good storyteller. Wow he was born on 1111. Those are spiritual numbers. He was chosen. Thank you for sharing this video.

Rest Easy Stephen. I grew up with and went to school with Stephen. We love and miss you.

Static Major was such a gift to the music world but his spirit was even bigger. Born on 11/11🕊very powerful & angelic energy. I still listen to his music & enjoy his vibe. Static Major is forever Loved. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I really appreciate this story, Static deserves his flowers he was Major & his music will live on forever!

Great presentation of Static Major work. I learned so much that i never knew about him. RIP Static Major

Sounds like they took static out bcuz he was fixing to blow up he was very talented,,n for all that static did 4 the game he's never mentioned nowadays 4real and contributed alot to the music industry,R.i.h. King major ,and love and peace to his kids wife and his niece he adopted

Wow.. there's a common denominator in this story who's name I thought of before u even mentioned it. It's crazy how many people who were tied to either (or both) Aaliyah and B met a strange and unexplained demise.🤔 Masterful work!!

Man its crazy we listen to so much music but most times never know how they are orignated 😢 Gratitude family for putting together this body of work bro as i really enjoyed it

Thank you for doing this!🙏🏿🙏🏿 Static was just a really incredible guy! It was such a pleasure seeing how he worked, and how creative he was. I actually even missed him calling me “Fess“ (he claimed I look like the black uncle Fester from the Addams family😂) he is still missed and now Magoo as well

Thank you doing this .. static is a legend finally somebody do a video bout him ❤❤❤

He is also credited on Brent Faiyaz Jackie brown. You can hear his vocals all in the background!

Wow I’m embarrassed that I heard his name but never knew the extent of his contributions to Black music and music overall. This video was a great tribute 💕💕💕🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Biggie said it best "you're nobody til somebody kills you"

😭 I wanna go back to the late 90's-early 2000's

I eat this content up! I miss this era & these talented artist soooo much 🥺

Static was Devante's prodegy child. If you know you know. Deffo was destined for greatness

I definitely side eye Lil Wayne for barely acknowledging Static & others who tend to leave his name out. It leaves a bad taste in my mouh

His biggest fear and he died with that fear

Static knew lollipop would be the song that would help wayne crossover & said it would allow him to make any kind of song he wanted. The song was originally for pleasure p or pretty Ricky i forget, but he ended up giving it to wayne

Bad loss for the industry, was a genius. RIP to a GOAT truly

Wow I didn’t realize static major depth of his history. Thorough documentary here. My introduction to static major was lollipop by Wayne. And the swing mob connection - that’s amazing. I gotta go back and do my homework on all them artists. I didn’t realize was in a quartet. My folks always had the playa Cd too but I never tuned in. That All the way is fire! Thank you pimp

Man, these stories you do bro, judged by juery, Chicago Illinois rocks with you and recognizes the hard work you put into your craft. God bless you and all the subscribers too 🙏

Im also from Louisville so this one took me back, it’s always sad to see a young life cut short, especially if it could have been prevented 😢

The fucked part is it’s still not settled. God bless her and the babies.
