VIDEO HOUSTON RAPPER BIG POKEY DIES SUDDENLY WHILE LIVE
a longtime Houston rapper -- died this weekend after a scary fall on stage that came out of nowhere ... and which ultimately took his life.
The Texas-based MC collapsed at a bar in neighboring Beaumont late Saturday night. Video is circulating showing Pokey standing on what appears to be a two-story stage, where he seems to be performing ... as he has a mic in his hand, and he's interacting with a DJ.
Suddenly, BP lets out a big breath into the microphone ... and he starts to tip backwards, completely losing his footing/going unconscious and falling hard onto the stage. It's net.
At first, everyone seems to think it might not, perhaps, be that serious ... as you can hear some snickers in the crowd. However, it quickly becomes clear something is wrong -- and everyone around starts to attend to him in a panic... seeing that he isn't waking back up

A woman -- who says she's a nurse -- rushes to his side and tries to administer aid. Everyone else is fanning air and trying to help regain consciousness ... to no avail. Reports say EMS showed up a little after midnight and that he was transported to a hopsital.
Once there, he eventually died ... although it's unclear what the cause of death may be.
