It is sad for me to notify the members of SOHH.com that Scribbala/ERIC ERVIN has passed away. Many of you know him but few if any knew that he was my cousin. His mother and my mother are sisters. He has been battling with a bad heart for sometime now and I just got word that he passed although I don't know the circumstances surrounding it. I know he has accepted the Lord and so it is sad to know he is gone but comforting to know where he resides. Peace Sohh

Man, this is sad as hell. I used to talk to Eric all the time, and he was always so insightful and helpful with any spirituality questions. Shyt, I just talked to him a few weeks ago and he sounded so happy about life and ready to get married. God bless him, I know he's in a better place.

man. ..
this story may be in poor taste but I feel like sharing the memory I have of him. .. this was when I was heating up in text battling. .. I mean like where I was regularly beating cats convincingly.
I was on AIM and sought him out since I saw him on
thinking " aii'ght i'mma go after a respected head, see where my skill is at " cuz I at that time never heard ANYTHING but good things about scribs. it's not like I hadn't been warned, maaaaan dude served me something fierce. .lol . .. U know it's bad when within about 3-4 bars you realize ur in huge trouble because he hasn't hit his stride yet. . . I think I was IM'ing with charOn as it was happening too. ..lol I wish I still had that convo i'd post it. he was always clever and insighful with his words and with his works.
his presense will be missed around here. but he is in a better place indeed.
midnite please up this.

he's with God and in a beautiful place called heaven. and scribbla isnt just passing through like he lived within the earth and within sohh. but he is going to be heaven as he is in many hearts he touched. for eternity. Godbless you eric ervin I dont post much on sohh. but I remeber you and the way you brought a whole different atmosphere.
Your works should have never went unoticed. You said so much that it is impossible for you to die in the sohh world.
I agree with everyone else there should be a special forum for those who are lifted up. I hope your receiving the greatest of your calling in God's wonderful love. I will
pray for you scribbla and I will keep your families in my prayers. Godbless you friend.
Amen

I am speechless...
Unless there are aliases on here I don't recognize (I myself am an alias, I guess, although I was 'revealed' by mself a long time ago) I've known Eric longer than anybody who's replied, damn near 5 years -- although we hadn't talked a lot recently.
Eric was a good dude, period. He had a spirit that wouldn't quit, and really wanted to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
God bless Eric and his family.

i knew bout Scrib's bad heart, but I had thought that he was ok after not hearing about it in so long...being on this site for 4years, I was here when all the vets were, and remember vividly hearing about his heart and praying for him
truly, he was one the Open Mic's greatest Vets, and it saddens me, despite never meeting the guy, knowing that his work will not continue to progress and that this forum has lost one of its truly talented
my condolences to his family and friends, and I will see to it that Strange Love is honored here in the Open Mic for his countless contributions to the art, for his work Im sure inspired others to better themselves, I know it helped me
may you forever REST IN PEACE Eric Ervin aka Scribala
at the very least, I will speak some of the fellow mods of the Open Mic as well as members inorder to field a suitable memorial for him on this site....and to acknowledge the passing of others who have met so much to us on Sohh and the smaller tighter community of the Open Mic
I just got the email from his mom. My heart shifted into my throat and my vision shook for a minute. I took a couple minutes to just pray.
We used to converse so often, and one thing that always struck me was how focused he was in preparing his soul for God. He was a HUGE, active, inspiration for me and influenced my attitude. He probably never even realized, while in the flesh, the tangible extent to which he helped people by example. I'm saddened for myself, because we had so many plans for the future (artwise, businesswise, and most importantly: God-wise -- i know he's reading that and saying "yes jon. God IS wise." lol). Also because his writings and our conversations were such a real, active influence on me (even though we didn't always see eye to eye on every detail, his spirituality and optimism always kept ME focused, and his INCREDIBLE writing ability constantly kept me pushing.)
I'm saddened for his loved ones, because he must have been such a beloved piece of that family.
In all truth, though, all I can imagine Eric feeling right now is joy (even if he's in pergatory, because he embraced trials and cleansing pain with joy). He always kept in the forefront of his mind that he was a child of God before he was anything else.
ON HIS WRITING: This young man was so incredibly talented and sophisticated with his writing. My writing immediately picked up about 10 notches as soon as I started reading his work and talking to him. He told me something one time, that still remains one of the PRIMARY tips on writing I go by: "Its all about saying 'i dropped my pen' without saying 'i dropped my pen'".
And he would strike while the iron was HOT. And that iron seemed to always be on fire. we would be having a conversation over AIM, and he's be responding and replying intelligently, etc. Then, a random whole verse would pop up in my little AIM box out of nowhere, about everything we just talked about. I'd be thinking "how did he get that all out so fast, with such attention to rhyme and stylings, WHILE talking to me???" He would do these things all the time. It got to the point where I would be overloaded with reading material, and regretfully, wouldn't be able to read it all because his verses were coming at me so fast, so huge, and so many. Plus, he was BOLD! I don't care what anyone says about being bold, fearless, or controversial. Most of the artists we give these labels to are only saying exactly what their audience is drooling to hear them say. Its not true courage. The things Eric wrote about, though, reflected TRUE fearlessness. It really bugs me that he never got to REALLY get out there and heard by more people. But maybe God will use his boy to plant some words in the rest of us writers, speakers, and lyricists.
I'm so thankful for the time I DID have knowing him, and that will carry with me.
RIP my brother
My deepest love and condolences to his family.
...this is tough to swallow.

I didn't know dude at all, but his work was simply amazing. I think we should gather all the pieces and put together a showcase of what great talent the man possessed and have SOHH feature it in some way or another on the site. I read pretty much everything he wrote since I came here but I stopped replying cuz it was getting pointless, I had nothing but praise for the writings he produced.

My blessings and condolences to you and your family.
I knew Eric personally and of his condition. He has wrote to me many times in the past.
If you can take the time out, please provide me with a contact information for his family member, or even maybe yourself.
I must/need to speak with someone, if possible. teeanje.chia@verizon.net
Thank You
Peace & Blessing.
Jesus. Where do I start. How about where it began for me, right here. It was 1999 or so, and I had just started posting on sohh. I remember vividly making a half poem/half rhyme that he responded to with remarkable praise and compared it to Rakim... I was honored, to say the least. From that point on we talked via Aim countless times. We extended that into phone calls and I remember being on the phone with him while he lay in a hospital bed in Wisconsin, waiting for a new heart with a smile on his face the whole time, ending each call with "I Love You." That was Eric's way. NEVER have fear. Ever. He approached every situation, things that would cripple the spirits of most men, with a smile on his face and full of love. I remember he told me how he would spit outkast verses for the nurses in his wing that didn't like hip hop to show them that it's not all bad, converting them in the process. He would mail me letters about God, talk to me about God... life... hip hop... man, hip hop. If it wasn't for him there would be no keen... no subliminal orphans... no show tonite, no shows ever, no hip hop in my life. His constant encouragement from my fledgling stages, his amazing belief in me and my talents, even when they were just starting to shine through, is what gave me the confidence to keep going, to get thru the wack stages that all mcs face :p and get to where I am today where I can get on stage in front of hundreds of people and rock the hell out of them. (Eric would say... "That's right Keen... rock the hell out of them") Hah. he always loved to play with words like that. In 2001 he came to live with me in Philly... he stayed with me and a friend in NJ.... it was a rough time in my life and i was going thru some things so it didn't last very long but he was always positive and happy... i remember driving thru west philly with him and Kase (his homie from NJ) just playin Beat CDs and kickin the most amazing freestyles... i remember him coming to see me perform when he visited Philly after leaving the first time and just gazing up at me with a smile on his face, so proud of me and where I got to with my music. Eric truly had a mission. He was and is a solider of Love. I have NEVER met anyone like him and this has floored me and has already changed my life. I like how someone else said that we praise artists who speak their mind... well this kid ALWAYS spoke his mind and was completely unwavering in his beleifs. Unwavering. He helped me find God in so many ways I can't thank him enough. One of the last bits of knowledge we shared was 2 books. I told him about "The Holographic Universe" and he told me about "Conversations with God". I suggest you read the both of them if you can.
What more can I say... He posted often on my forums... check for posts by AMBROSE TLDS and TheLoveDrStrange here
http://www.subliminalorphans.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=2
I like the idea of collecting his work and putting it together somewhere.. a friend of his from El Paso, where he was from, suggested that we get together all we can find and make a book. I think we should all do that.
also, i would just like to say how Eric touched the lives of SO MANY PEOPLE and brought them all together. He created a circle of friends that probably havent even met each other. Pix and I are great friends, we've met a few times offline and built.... He's connected me with Kase here in NJ, and his Golden Mission homies in Texas... his mother.. and his wife which NEEDS OUR PRAYERS now... he was newlywed... his wife called me today and we chatted... we never met but we shared alot online and i have every intention to get to meet her and everyone else who shared Eric as a common bond... and continue his mission...
everyone... remember... Eric was ALL LOVE. every bit of him. He is experiencing RIGHT NOW what he always wanted and felt on earth... THE FULL GLORY OF GOD. i am crying with happiness for him... Eric, I love you, I LOVE YOU and i will never fear death again because I know you'll greet me at the gates to eternity....
Also.. for anyone who hasn't heard any of his music... here are 2 songs i have on my site of his...

the 2nd cat to rap...
"you know you better change you ways.. you better turn around and pray.... especially when you're livin in your last days..."

i was thinking the same thing all through work today. how different my life would be and my art would be without Eric's influence. for one, you and i never would have known each other. it hit me in waves today, but i don't think it's really really sunk in yet. still feels fake. once i start trying to email him or show him a new beat i made for him, or just build with him...then i'm gonna really be feeling his loss. i can't be down though, because people always say "that's not what he/she would want", but with Eric -- that statement carries serious weight. this kid was preparing every day for this glorious moment. he was preparing his friends. he was preparing the friggin stranger on the street. he was ready and is where God wants him to be and he's really in his element now. we're all going to see him eventually, and i know for a fact he's gonna be participating on our lives on Earth too. i'm already getting little hints and signs. i just want to extend my heart and friendship to his loved ones. consider me a friend.

he was alwaaays coming correct when he'd drop... and although we only conversed a few times, theres no doubt in my mind he was a good soul.

i just remembered.. one of the last phone calls we had, i played him "Jesus Walks" (he never heard it) and he was so happy... then he spit for me this piece he had where he had a conversation with God... it was AMAZING... we were building on ways to record it, to have it give the most impact.... i really feel that people subconsciously know when they are going... and their soul shows it thru their life work... i've seen it in other friends who passed and recognized it in retrospect... eric was always preparing tho :) never left any unfinished business....
i found an old fortune cookie in my kitchen this morning... and i said "ok eric, what do you got for me".... figuring it would be his style to leave hints in the strangest of places... pun intended... and it said "now is the time to complete all unfinished business". so true. at first i was like "sh*t, does that mean i'm about to die?" and then i realized, that NOW is really the only "time" we have... all we have is the present.. and you never know what tomorrow will bring.. so those people you havent talked to in a while, that rhyme you've been putting off, that phone call to your momma, make it, do it, live it. for eric.
i'm off to a wedding. check in with you all tomorrow.

I talked to him most of the time.
I always got emails from him.
We had collaborations here and there...
I knew he had a heart problem, I didn't know it would be this soon.
he was definitely an inspiration.
we had a goal that we talked about.
we wanted to make a universal nation where all elements of hiphop are together. no matter what crew u from, or where you repped. it was all love....
Like a convention type ZULU nation, where everybody get together and network.
He was like lets do this. that was the one thing that stuck in my mind...throughout the years...
there is still a possibility...

I think his passing was his way of getting all of the people he touched motivated to get this stuff done. I know what I have to do... and if you want help with with the global hip hop nation, you have it. It's all about networking like minded people, and eric built the core of that network. now we have to plan and create.

I didnt realize when I posted before that you all had the information. And now I came here and have seen all that you had to say about my wonderful Eric. I cannot express to you how much it means to hear all of your amazing comments. Though I cannot say that I am surprised. Eric was the most incredible human being I have ever known. He was closer to God every day. I just didnt realize that he was becoming closer so that he could go home to Him. I am more than willing to and would welcome contact from any of you that want to talk or just lean on me. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do and it is a comfort to me to know that so very many people loved him. Eric considered anyone that he ever talked to as part of his family and he would want all of us to remember that and let it bring us closer as a community.
You can reach me at my email flowerssoul@yahoo.com
Please pray for the peace and release of pain for his family, he would want us to pray..

Me and scribs used to talk awhile back. i remember talking to him after a surgery i think it was.... he was coming up to madison frequently to see doctors and what not, and i told him if he ever had some extra time to swing by milwaukee, its an hour away.
we never got a chance to meet in person, i wish we had.
but i know you all know those emails he would send..... they always seemed to come at the right time, when you needed to hear something incredebly positive.
its not often you come across someone who when they pass and everyone is writing in tribute, leave you feeling intimidated to even speak a word in fear of the words not being good enough... yet leave you brave enough to try.
my invitation still stands eric, come visit any time.

If there is a better place than this..he's there.

rip scribs. You was just coming to the open mic when I was damn near done battling in here. We talked on da boards a few times. Didn't know you know you but R.I.P
.....
I have kept one of our many collabos in my desk at home for some three years now.
For awhile all we did was post collabs..hehehe...
Strange was love.. And I owe him more than my gratitude for what I have become in this thing... His posts made me realize that a poet could become an emcee and I did. When Eddie gave me the call about E.. All I could do was remember when Eric would call me from the airport in Chicago to see if we could get together.. I will regret forever that I was never able to meet him. The collabo I kept was a battle between us about the existence of a God... I still spit it every now and then.
To his family I can only say thank you. I am sorry for your loss but please, know this.. most of us have never even met Eric in person and yet I have to stop typing this before I lose it in front of my coworkers. That's real.
Love, Respect and Gratitude

I don't really know what to say, I just learned about his passing away.
I'm sorry to say my contact with Eric was not as good as it should've been but I've always felt him to be like my brother.
I live in europe and never got to meet Scrib in person, but he will always be remembered by me as the only one,
the only man, who could ever really relate to my problems with this world.
He's one of the people who showed me how to pull the positive out the negative and never give up.
Everyone has a purpose here and he has definitely helped me find it.
Eric, may you rest in peace
One love man,...you're always in my heart
peace
