Alvin Toney, Mack?s producer on his debut album, Project: Funk Da World, had a chance to see the late rapper last week as he worked on a documentary about the star.
?Nobody got to understand his story,? Toney told The Daily News. ?I wanted the world to know the talent he had. It was something I wanted people to enjoy, but it was cut short because he was very religious and wanted to go to church.?
?God bless my friend. He was a good friend of mine,? Toney added, explaining that Mack had been ill for some time. ?He was prepared for whatever comes, to go home to the Lord. He was prepared to do that. He wasn?t scared. He was ready.?
