Jack LaLanne, The godfather of fitness died from respiratory failure due to pneumonia at his at his coastal California home in Morro Bay. He was 96 years of age whe he passed away.

"He was surrounded by his family and passed very peacefully in no distress ... and with the football game on Sunday, so everything was normal," his daughter Yvonne LaLanne, 66, told Reuters.

Only two years ago, LaLanne, still a poster boy for vitality, told PEOPLE MAGAZINE that young stars such as Britney Spears – who was going through physical and emotional problems at the time – needed to "develop pride and discipline" and watch what they put into their bodies, or as he put it: "the right fuel in the machine."

As for keeping body and soul together, "It's got to start with young kids," LaLanne told PEOPLE.

Jack LaLanne, didn't start watching how he lived until he was 15 years old. Born Francois Henri LaLanne in San Francisco (his parents were French immigrants), he felt the effects of sugar and bleached flour in his diet. After hearing a health lecture, he devoted his life to following a diet of raw, unprocessed foods. His staples: two meals a day, no snacks and a healthy dose of old fashioned excercise.

And did he ever exercise, relentlessly. At age 60, noted The New York Times, he swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman’s Wharf while pulling a 1,000-pound boat – and while handcuffed, as a proving point that convicted felons could have made the swim even handcuffed even though they had been told that the swim from Alcatraz was not possible. At 70, shackled again, he pulled 70 people in 70 boats 1½ miles through Long Beach Harbor.

As he liked to say, "I can't die. It would ruin my image."

LaLanne opened the nation's first modern health club in California's Oakland, in 1936, and it featured exercise equipment, a juice bar and health food store. Eventually this developed into a 100-strong Jack LaLanne gym chain across the country. He would also market a highly successful juicer.

His syndicated TV show, The Jack LaLanne Show, which opened with his performing jumping jacks under the credits in his signature belted jumpsuits, debuted in daytime in 1959 and ran for 34 years, solidifying his reputation. After more than 3,000 shows, LaLanne, who owned all rights, repackaged the program and leased it to ESPN Classic.

Besides his daughter, Yvonne, he is survived by a son, Dan Doyle; his wife, Elaine; and their son, Jon.

I aint coming out for less than a 100 thou
man, the last time I checked I was bubbling out
got to turn down shows, out in Dublin now
wait wait hold on, maybe they didn’t get that here
like 11 hundred horses when I switch that gear
swerve on them sorta like I missed that dear
press that little button on the sit back chair
lyrics courtesy of www.killerhiphop.com
b-tch I do it cause I get it
I got billion dollar credit
if you got a million dollars you could put it up and bet it
I just be like hello hello but I never could salute them
young money I do it for the yout dem!

Nicki Minaj "No Entry Lil Kim Dis Song" Lyrics

Yo, young money right here,
bike here, throw it up, no high chair,
cold like a white bear,
freddie Kruger Im a rap b-tch nightmare,
and I'm rich I could buy you,
kill b-tches leave ya body in a bayou,
more brain than an IQ,
more head than a dread (my youte),
and my bank account ain't hardly empty,
so I come through in a Barbie Bentley,
but please mamacita, please no envy,
when you come around it reads no entry,
who's next to go,
my flows so flexible,
get gas, then get at me, Texaco,
shoot yourself in the leg, plexico
white jag with the twisted lip,
I aint Mike Jack but This is it!
b- b- b- boo Im everywhere,
your like balloon boy mama you was never there!
I am the kung fu panda,
f-ck all o' ya blogs, f-ck all o' ya propaganda,
good for the goose then its good for the gander,
nicki aint a rapper, nicki is a brander,
please you can never compare to me,
all these b-tches is scared of me,
I am who they couldn't even dare to be,
so thats all folks, badibadee
I go hard pause,
Hospital flow get more gauze,
Imma bad b-tch on all fours,
the president be like its all yours,
Weezy and Nicki bring the A-game, high stats,
go together like Ricky and his eye patch,
go together like a team in the gym,
Kareem in the ring, the queen and the king

Nicki Minaj Verse from DJ Khaled All I Do Is Win Remix Version

Lil Kim Black Friday Full Length song dissing Nikki Minaj

The full uncensored version of The LIL Kim "Black Friday" Dis track dissing Nicki Minaj and her Pink Frida album

The beat to Diddy's Hello Good Morning Remix is an automatic banger so it makes it much easier to feel the flow and get the juices flowing on a song of that magnitude and the fact that it is a banger means it definitely will be heard by more people giving Nicki Minaj the upper hand in that respect, but LIL KIM definitely came back super hard over the classic underground East Coast Banger beat of Pharoahe Monch's "Simon Says" (get the f up) Lil Kim of course flips it and says "Shut The F Up" to Nicki Minaj. While Nicki beats around the bush in all her songs only making references to "The Queen" Then eventually came out with an actual dis song.

Lil Kim flat out makes sure everyone knows she is aiming directly back at Nicki Minaj with "Black Friday" specifically calling out Nicki's album Pink Friday saying she's "turning Pink Friday to Friday the 13th"and "I've seen em come, I've seen em go and still I remain, sweetie your going on your fourteenth minute of fame, I'm over Ten years strong still running the game cut the comparisons I'm in the legendary lane."

Kim goes in hard on her Dis Track "Black and yellow, will pull up in your ghetto, Giuseppe’s when I step out, posted up in stilettos, P-ssy so pink like my kitty saying hello, If I whistle, they’ll pistol whip you in all five borough’s" Peep the full Lyrics to Black Friday below:

Lil Kim Black Friday Lyrics (Niccki Minaj Diss song):

Roman’s Revenge, um,
You know, she just really jumped out the window
And you gotta be careful when you pick fights
And that’s what I’ve learned in this business
You just never know…

Shut the f-ck up

Who the f-ck want war
FedEx beef straight to your front door
It’ll be a murder scene
I’m turning Pink Friday to Friday the 13th
Aight you Lil Kim clone clown
All this buffoonery, the shit stops now
Time for you to lay down, I’m sick of the fraud
I put hands on this bitch like a spa massage
We all know your last name is what got you a job
You use to put together gimmicks something like a collage
Since you putting on a show, you gon’ get the appaulse
Clap clap, lift your frame like a f-cking garage, yeah
This hood sh-t you and Drake ain’t built for
This the same sh*t the other bitch almost got killed for
I’m still counting what hardcore generated
Bet my sh-t keeps spinning like it’s syndicated
Corny broad I’ll you bloody like you menstruated
Your hot air ass bitch should have been deflated
This aint a championship fight I’ve been the greatest
See the fact is, what you doing I did it
Lames trying to clone my style, run with it
Thats cool, I was the first one with it
You deluded kim wannabe you just hate to admit it
I’m the Blueprint you aint nothing brand new
Check ya posters and videos, you’ll always be number 2
I seen ‘em come, I seen go, I still remain
Sweety, you going on your 14th minute of fame
I’m over 10 years strong still running the game
Cut the comparisons, I’m in the legendary lane
Fighting for ya spot, y’all please, I’m solidified
With my hands tied, you couldn’t beat me if you bitches tried
Either you high, or sipping that sh-t Wayne on
I get top dollar for whatever my name on
Go stick your head in a tornado, brainstorm
I drop bombs, FLex, Napalm
Black and yellow, will pull up in your ghetto
Giuseppe’s when I step out, posted up in stilettos
P-ssy so pink like my kitty saying hello
If I whistle, they’ll pistol whip you in all five borough’s
I’m in Brooklyn, I’ll be everywhere comfortably
Who pumped you and told you to come rump with me
You the type to run your mouth and then run from me

I’m poppin’ off in your hood with no company
Come on, Queens aint showing you no love
I was there the other night poppin’ bottles with the thugs
You like Washington Heff(?) I’m Benjy.
You got a buzz right now, an’ I had a frenzy
Oh yeah, welcome to the fam’, Fendi
You need to stop, you’re not hot, you’re a burning match
That means the end is near soon, copy that
Oh I see, they really got you gassed like
I’mma thing of the past
Better slow down dummy, you bout to crash
Stink p-ssy hoe, I’m giving you a bath
Thermometer in hand and I’m coming for your ass
Who you think you getting past
I see right through you, you’re whole sh-t is made of glass

[sound of breaking glass]

Lil Kim Black Friday Nicki Minaj Diss Lyrics Continued Second Verse:


[Nicki Minaj]
You see right through me
How do you do that sh…

[Lil Kim]
I draw back, I’m a Brooklyn thorough bred bitch
Rep for my borough bitch
Never been the type to have beef and try to settle sh-t
I ride out till the wheels fall off
And my n-ggas squeeze til the last shell go off
F-ck ya whole team, all I see is a bunch of weirdo’s
You’s a airhead bitch, scarecrow
Haha, aint nothing old but my money bitch
Hahaha, this is grown liquid assests
Benjamin’s my daddy you Young Money bastards
You and Diddy, sorry bunch of swagger jackers
I mothered you hoes, I should claim you on my income tax
Bobby Fischer in the flesh, taught by the great
So on my next move, I’m yelling checkmate

Lil Kim Black Friday Nicki Minaj Diss Lyrics Continued Third Verse:

I smell a massacre
Charles Manson you don’t stand a chance with her
Jeffrey Dahmer you looking like lunch to me
I’m bout to kill all you bitches like Ted Bundy
Leave you’re whole head red like Peg Bundy
You’re hilarious, thanks for all the laughs
You’re garbage so I’m taking out the trash
You sh-t on me, come on baby girl
Ain’t enough ass shots in the World
You’re a nuisance, you porbably steal my new sh-t
But you could never f-ck with me so chuck it up, Deuces
All around the World I ball like a ball team
I stack chips, call me Mr’s Rosteam
Tricks is for kids, silly rabbit, your my offspring
Kim more anticipated than a Lebron ring…
