Eric Dwayne Collins better known by his stage name RBX (standing for "Reality Born Unknown"), is an American rapper and R&B singer from Long Beach, California.
Contrary to popular belief, Collins is not related to funk legend Bootsy Collins, although the two are close friends.
RBX joined Death Row Records in 1992 with his cousins Snoop Dogg and Daz Dillinger of Tha Dogg Pound. A former college student and retail manager, Collins wisely declined to sign blank contracts like his Death Row brethren and his tenure on the label would be brief but memorable. Having made commanding cameos on The Chronic in 1992 and Doggystyle in 1993, RBX left the label in 1994 and signed with the lesser known Premeditated Records. He released The RBX Files in 1995, his debut solo album that was produced by former Chronic production team member Greg "Gregski" Royal. The album abandoned the popular West coast G-Funk style in favor of a gritty, dungeon-like sound more associated with New York. The single "A.W.O.L." was an attack on Death Row, Suge Knight, Dre and others, with X comparing the dubious business practices there to the days of Ruthless Records, Jerry Heller, and Eazy-E.
RING-box protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RBX1 gene.
This gene encodes an evolutionarily conserved protein that interacts with cullins. The protein plays a unique role in the ubiquitination reaction by heterodimerizing with cullin-1 to catalyze ubiquitin polymerization. It also may be involved in the regulation of protein turn-over.
RBX1 has been shown to interact with:
Lyrics and music by Michael Lambeth
Can’t clear the thoughts through my head, something in my heart that won’t accept, disappointment and regret.
Can’t help the anger in my mind, the lonely frustration’s of desire,
False hopes I didn’t see, self intentions you didn’t mean.
The realisation of my hurt, questioning my self worth,
Would it help if I were someone else?
It may have worked if you could only see,
Qualities you couldn’t see, false hopes I didn’t see, jaded thoughts and apathy.
Disappointment possesses me,
Rejection and disbelief,
A happy ending I cannot see.
Something in my heart that can’t quite accept,
Your apathy and indifference.
‘May have worked if you could only see, things in common and personality,
Another lifetime could have been.
What you wanted I could never be, jadedness and imagery,
Real friendship you deny me,
With your convenient lies and dishonesty!
Disappointment possesses me, rejection and irony,
Self intentions you didn’t mean.
Something in my heart that can’t quite accept,
Your apathy and indifference.
Thought you said you felt close to me?
Angry now, I feel I’m deceived.
Cannot look me now in the eyes, your vagueness I despise.
Cannot look me now in the eyes, I look at you but you pass me by,
My desperation I can’t abide, now I see love is blind!
Disappointment possesses me,
Rejection and disbelief,
A happy ending I cannot see.
Something in my heart that can’t quite accept,
Your apathy and indifference.
