A Tribute To Bernie Mac

Bernie Mac passed away a couple of days ago and his presence will be sorely missed. Mac had an incredible comic persona that oozed confidence, command and power. He spoke with the tenacity of an evangelical and could whip a crowd into a similar fervor.

The video above shows Mac absolutely owning the audience at Def Jam and regardless of what you think of his material or the lame movies he subsequently starred in, the guy had an undeniably powerful, positive energy about him.
