| sayang.. idol ko talaga si mr. Francis Magalona...
Francis Magalona (October 4, 1964 - March 6, 2009), also known as FrancisM, Master Rapper, and The Man From Manila, was a prominent Filipino rapper, songwriter, producer, actor, director, and photographer. Often hailed as the "King of Pinoy Rap", he was considered a legend in the Philippine music community. With the success of his earliest albums, he was the first Filipino rapper in the Philippines cross over to the mainstream. He is also credited for having pioneered the merging of rap with Pinoy rock, becoming a significant influence to artists in that genre as well. He was also a popular television host, notably on MTV Asia where he served as one of the channel's first Filipino VJs, and on noontime variety television show Eat Bulaga!. Magalona died on March 6, 2009 at the age of 44 due to acute myelogenous leukemia.
Music career
Starting out as a breakdancer in the 1980s[1], Magalona was cast in several Filipino movies of that decade, including Bagets 2. He likewise gained attention as the resident DJ/rapper in the IBC-13 variety show Loveli'Ness. In 1990, he released the groundbreaking album Yo!, the first commercially released Pinoy rap album in the Philippines. Yo! included several popular singles such as Mga Kababayan Ko (My Fellow Countrymen), Gotta Let 'Cha Know, Cold Summer Nights and Man From Manila. With tracks that featured politically conscious and thought-provoking rhymes in both English and Tagalog, Yo! was a big success and helped catapult Filipino hip hop from underground to mainstream status. It also marked the birth of Makabayang or Nationalistic rap in Filipino hip hop. Francis M. remains one of the most respected emcees within Pinoy Rap
In 1992, Francis Magalona released Rap Is FrancisM (1992), considered as one of the greatest Pinoy Rap albums.[citation needed] With tracks addressing the various cultural and social problems that plagued his country such as drug addiction in "Mga Praning" (Paranoids), political instability in "Halalan" (Elections) as well as the detrimental effects of a colonial mentality in "Tayo'y Mga Pinoy" (We Are Filipinos), the record's complexity and conscious message quickly earned it its classic status and became the standard by which future albums of the genre were to be compared.
The release of his third album, "Meron akong ano!" (I Got Some!) in 1993, followed by "FreeMan" in 1995 marked the beginning of Francis' experimentation with Pinoy rock. He soon was cited for excellence in both genres of music. He frequently collaborated with other Pinoy music luminaries such as Joey Ayala, Heber Bartolome, Ryan Cayabyab, Mike Hanopol of Juan dela Cruz Band, Andrew E, Michael V and Denmark and the Eraserheads. In the latter part of his career, Magalona worked together Pikaso, Gloc 9, Stick Figgas and Parokya ni Edgar. FrancisM at The Community Philippine Hip-Hop Summit 2007 held at The Basement in Eastwood City
In 2002, with the assistance of then FUBU Philippines' management Carlo Maniquiz and Nick Tuazon(who is currently the Editor-In-Chief and CEO of Digital Photographer Philippines, Francis launched a compilation album of the same name, showcasing a basic who's who of local hip-hop talents in and around the islands.Later that year, Francis Magalona's greatest hits album, The Best of FrancisM was released by Musiko and Sony BMG Philippines.
Shortly before his death, Magalona collaborated with Ely Buendia and various Filipino artists on an album dubbed as "The Sickos Project." It will be released posthumously. Both Francis M. and Ely Buendia were having health problems at that time.
Magalona founded his own record company called Red Egg Records, and a production company, Filipino Pictures Inc., where he served as the resident Director. Through his production company, Magalona produced and directed music videos for several bands and solo artists such as Ely Buendia. His work on Sponge Cola's "KLSP" won Best Rock Video at the 2006 MYX Video Awards.
Honors
Magalona's contributions to the genre have been featured in several international hip hop publications including the All Music Guide to Hip-Hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap and Hip-Hop (2003) published by Backbeat Books; as well as the May 2004 issue of the U.S. based publication The Source. He was also given the Pioneer Hall of Fame Award by Empire Entertainment at the 1st Annual Philippine Hip-Hop Music Awards in 2005.[6]
Magalona was the recipient of the coveted MTV Pilipinas Video Music Awards Generations Award in 2006 "in recognition of his career that has spanned decades and broken boundaries, and for his music which continues to inspire generations of artists and music fans both here and abroad." He was the second person so honored, the first having been singer Gary Valenciano at the 2005 rites.
Television career
Magalona also hosted several television shows including the long-running daytime variety show Eat Bulaga!, as well as being a VJ for MTV Asia. Magalona was MTV Asia's first Filipino VJ along with Regine Tolentino and Donita Rose, and remained with MTV from 1997 up to 2000. He was also chosen by Fremantle Media, owners of American Idol as one of the judges of in the first Philippine Idol season that aired on ABC-5. Magalona and his fellow judges Ryan Cayabyab and Pilita Corrales were not retained by GMA Network when the franchise transferred to that network in 2008. Aside from television, he also hosted live events and presentations.
Other endeavors
In his last years, Magalona also turned his attention to photography, a hobby which he began to take more seriously when he started submitting pictures to magazines for publication. News reports note that he was overjoyed when he was accepted as a member of the prestigious Camera Club of the Philippines, and eventually received critical acclaim for his Photographic work.
Branching out into fashion, Magalona also established a clothing line named FMCC, standing for "FrancisM Clothing Co."
Personal life
Family and early life
Magalona was one of the nine children of actors Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran, popular film stars of the 1940s and 1950s. His grandfather, Sen. Enrique Magalona served in the Philippine Senate from 1946 to 1955. He studied at San Beda College in Manila.
Magalona was married to Pia Arroyo, with whom he had eight children: Unna, Nicolo, Francis Jr., Elmo, Arkin, Clara, and actresses Maxene and Saab.
Illness and death
Magalona, 43, was diagnosed on August 8, 2008, with leukemia at the Medical City Hospital, Mandaluyong. He appealed for privacy.
I don’t want a media circus. I want privacy with my family. What I’d rather talk about is how we can solicit blood donations to replace the supply that I have consumed in the hospital. It was very gradual, hindi siya biglaang lumabas (it did not come out so suddenly). We don’t want to use the word ‘curable,’ but the doctors say it’s treatable. —Pia Arroyo-Magalona, Francis’ wife
After his treatment and discharge, he made his return on Eat Bulaga together with Ely Buendia, who was also recently discharged.
On March 6, 2009, at 12:20 pm, Magalona succumbed to multiple organ failure after having been rushed to the hospital and intubated the night before.[8] He had undergone several chemotherapy sessions since he was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia in August the previous year, and had been expected to undergo a bone marrow transplant.The announcement was first made on the television variety show Eat Bulaga!, which he had co-hosted.News of his death sparked a surge of web traffic to several Philippine news sites, causing a momentary slowdown in the operation of those sites.
On March 7, 2009, the Eraserheads' reunion concert (the Final Set), which Magalona supposed to guest at the time of his death, considered as a tribute to the King of Pinoy Rap. Eat Bulaga! also paid tribute before the concert night on the same date. | |
