Proof from D12 (eminems group) shot and killed.

Yah, unfortunately you can't make music dead either.

Nope but he can still make more money when he's dead than when he's alive.

Sorry...

Call themselves family.

If you're dead and money is still being made under your estate - who benefits?

You can't enjoy the music you create when the earth is for living nor can you profit from it.

About the only artist I've ever heard of being shot in any other genre of music was Lennon, and that was over 25 years ago. In the last 10 or so years you've had Tupac, Biggie, Jam Master Jay, and Proof, not to mention all the incidents at clubs, awards shows, etc. where rappers were reportedly at the scene. Or were said to have been.

dimebag darryl from Pantera got shot at his own damn concert.

The two rappers that I know of: all of their estate went to their children or mothers. Both Biggie and Pac's mother set up foundations for children in the projects.

But one could also argue why spend a half a million dollars on a chain when you can build a new playground or a new school room.

My point was that people think this violence is an everyday occurence just because they're rappers, when in reality, it isnt. Yes, I realize that those you have listed off are rappers who have been killed. EZ was killed by aids, though...Pac, Biggie, these guys are like lennons of rap. Greats. I realize that more rappers have been murdered or killed then other artists from other genres, but I have no doubt in my mind that people think rappers are always caught up in this business when infact they are more likely to be working on a photoshoot. This murder, in the grand scheme of things, is very rare.

This is one of the aspects that I love about rap so much, that many of the best have died by the gun. Not just any rappers though, often the top ones. Pac, biggie, big L, Big Pun, Jam Master Jay, Proof....these guy's arent ordinaries and it really makes their stories that much more unique.

As Biggie once said, "you're nobody until somebody kills you"...proof wasnt a HUGE rapper, but his immortalization will begin now.

True, but it's tough to look at as something to admire or be fascinated by. I'm sure biggie deep down (if he had half a brain) wasn't boasting about it when he said that- probably more regretfully speaking. And that really applies only to the rap world (it also reminds me of what you see in mob movies).
For instance: if someone shot someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger or even Slash from Guns 'n Roses/Velvet Revolver, it would be seen as a waste and a tragedy. And people would look back and shake their heads. Bringing up the fact that they were important enough to be shot to death would be redundant at best.
The bottom line is it's tragic and leaves people to look at the person who did it as a big piece of shit with a frown on their face. No glory in any of it.
