| Roger Troutman - Megamix - 248 sec Roger Troutman (November 29, 1951 - April 25, 1999) was the lead singer of the band Zapp.
Zapp (who also went by the name of "Zapp & Roger") quickly established themselves as one of funk's finest, issuing such further albums as 1982's Zapp II, 1983's Zapp III, 1984's The New Zapp IV U, and 1989's Zapp V; in addition to spawning such hit singles as "More Bounce to the Ounce," "Be Alright," "Dance Floor (Part I)," "Doo Wa Ditty (Blow That Thing)," "I Can Make You Dance (Part I)," and "Computer Love." Along with his Zapp duties, Roger also made time to issue solo albums (mixing R&B standards with originals), including such titles as 1981's The Many Facets of Roger, 1984's The Saga Continues, 1987's Unlimited!, and 1991's Bridging the Gap; while scoring such hit singles as a cover of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Part I)" and "I Want to Be Your Man."
On a Sunday morning, April 25, 1999, Roger Troutman was found shot and critically wounded outside his northwest Dayton recording studio around 7 a.m. According to doctors, the 47-year-old had been shot several times in the torso and was in critical condition; he died during surgery at the local hospital "Good Samaritan Hospital and Health Center". Roger's brother Larry was discovered dead in a car a few blocks away with a single gunshot wound to the head. A pistol was found inside the vehicle, which matched the description of a car leaving the scene of Roger Troutman's shooting according to witnesses. Police concluded it to be an apparent murder-suicide, but family members could not offer any reason or motive. It is likely that a personal dispute had developed between the two brothers; as far as can be determined, Larry shot Roger, then shot himself.

| Troutman Tribute - 202 sec A little education for the T-Pain fans out there. Roger Troutman popularized the voice box. Yes... I know Peter Frampton Used it as well, but he's corny... so back to the Trout. Roger's sound highly influenced west coast rap in the 90's and he also rocked the occasional cameo, namely on 2Pac & Dr. Dre's "California Love". To the best of my knowledge T-Pain hasn't acknowledged this funk legend but has made claim to the voice box and accused others of ripping him (T-Pain) off. These claims would be like Slash or Lenny Kravitz not giving props to Jimi Hendrix and claiming that they themselves we're being ripped off by other guitarists. Sadly, Roger was shot and killed in april of '99. Roger Troutman is a legend. Give Props to where Props is Due.

Truebreed yeah come on 1998
Everybody wants to be a superstar
I got to be a superstar
superstar, superstar
truebreed truebreed oh yeah
Ay
A gang of lil fools wanna be a rap star
i was one of them too but didnt take it that far
like trying to be somebody that aint
and plus you smoking dank
man that aint the way you make your bank
you'll get gank from every promoter that come your way
if he see you faking then he gon fake your pay
you need to parle with a brother like truebreed
drink some henessy
watch you pretend to be somebody that they aint
fools they down for yours
see that includes ur money
family goals and more game soars through my mind
every time i rhyme
truebreed on line drinking hundred dollar wine
Aint no nickle and dime
Am making money overtime
I live in my prime fools so back off mine
sit back and recline peep out this rhyme
and if y'all got game then you know im devine
hey...
living your life like a superstar you can still get God no matter who you are
respect will be the key to this game we play
But aint nobody hearing what i got to say[x2]
i didnt wanna finish this track without giving respect
to biggie and pac
biggie and pac
although y'all gone
in memory will live on
and through y'all songs
you kept the neighborhood strong
you make me feel like i can finish what i am doing
cuz in this business you gotta keep pursuing
noting but your own life to ruin
everyone gave that i never heard them booing
now who in the F
do u think you are riding around
smoking weed in your mommas car
you bustas aint going far
cuz i cld see the way that you act
too busy trying to pressure friends
trying to act like a mac
who got your back
fool thats the question at hand
9 times outta 10 they too young to understand
thats why they always get blast and caught
you need to listen when this OG talk
lets take a walk fool
living your life like a superstar you can still get God no matter who you are
respect will be the key to this game we play
But aint nobody hearing what i got to say[x2]
Thats right
i can't lie it feels real good being on stage
rockin 20 thousand fans and getting paid
its like a dream come true
i come a long way from the swapmeets
and 20 dollar rap tapes
on top of all this who'd ever thought
i'd be blessed with that Zapp and Roger voice box
i love ya rog, lester and terry too
changed my life and inspired me to be true
i keep riding for my folks in AZ
Keep making love songs for all my ladies
after all you're the ones that kept me alive
when NB Ridaz broke up you didnt fall for the lies
you're the reason why i just cant quit
why my pages on myspace like 20 million hits
a superstar naw thats not i
he's name is roger and he lives in the sky
living your life like a superstar you can still get God no matter who you are
respect will be the key to this game we play
But aint nobody hearing what i got to say[x2]
