If he wanted it like that, good for him, I just can't take a death seriously when people are singing and dancing.

He didn't go out with a bang, those people sent him off with a bang, they could have done it without a televised funeral and selling tickets.

Again, I have nothing against him, but I have everything against the way his "tribute' played out.
You must not have been to many black funerals or memorial services. All the ones I've been too they have some singing and dancing from the choir. well not necessarily the funerals those usually have one person singing, but the memorials do which is a different thing. Even back from my grandmother's day. It's not mocking the dead, it's just a form of expression.
I've never been to a black funeral, nor have I ever heard or them being like this.
I'm used to the traditional quiter funerals, you mourn them in the actual funeral then you go to a reception like deal and then have your tribute.
