Proof from D12 (eminems group) shot and killed.

[eat big]

Yes, he's a rapper and a damn good one. Arguably up there with eminem. And no, I wasnt being sarcastic with what I said.

Ehh, he can produce. Diddy with Biggie isn't much IMO.

I think he filed for divorce from his wife...


so this will be their second marriage and second divorce - WITH each other.

yeah I know that is why there will be so many songs.LOL

EZ - E died of AIDS bro. Jam Master JAy was also shot and killed.

Oh my bad, I'll change that. Yeah I forgot about Jay.

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, EZ E, and Proof off the top of my head, not to mention all the incidents at clubs, awards shows, etc. where rappers were reportedly at the scene. Or were said to have been.

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.

Pac said when he was young he wanted to go to jail because it was so common etc. Got their and hated it. Couldn't create music in jail.

You'll get more songs from eminem from this event. Garunteed. This was his best-man and his best friend.

I thought you were talking about Diddy, my bad. Proof is good no doubt.

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