Who said anything about rape?

That would be raping and they are raping their fans by taking their money but not doing anything for it.

Mind you, since it's voluntary, I have no complaint.

Rapper Proof Slain in Detroit Nightclub

By TOM KRISHER, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 9 minutes ago Proof, a member of rap group D12 and a close friend of Eminem, was shot to death early Tuesday at a nightclub along Eight Mile Road, a publicist said.

The death of Proof — whose real name is Deshaun Holton — was confirmed by Dennis Dennehy, the publicist for D12's label, Interscope Records.

"Memorial service arrangements are still being made, and his friends and family would appreciate privacy during this difficult time," Dennehy said in a statement.

Family members gathered at a home on Detroit's northwest side. The residential street in front of the two-story home was lined with vehicles.

Proof was the best man at Eminem's wedding in January and often appeared alongside the superstar rapper at concerts and public appearances. He also appeared in the film "8 Mile."

D12, which includes Eminem, has been around since the mid-1990s, when members of the rap group met at Detroit's Hip-Hop Shop, a clothing store by day and a hip-hop club by night.

Detroit police wouldn't confirm that Proof was killed, but said two people were shot in the head — one fatally — early Tuesday at a nightclub on Eight Mile.

An argument at the CCC nightclub escalated into gunshots, Detroit police spokesman James Tate said.

Wende Berry, a spokeswoman for St. John Health System, said Holton was dead on arrival at St. John Conner Creek, an outpatient treatment facility. Berry confirmed that he had a gunshot wound.

Another member of Eminem's inner circle — rapper Obie Trice — was shot while driving on a Detroit-area highway in December.

Jay-Z opens up libraries in his communities and helped fund money into his old high school and holds christmas dinners and gives toys out to the kids. Same with David Banner, Juvinile, Talib Kweli, even 50 Cent (donated money to Harlem Boys Choir) and Banner spreadheaded the project to unite New Orleans Rappers to help with the building efforts in Hurricane Katrina

Sorry you lose again

Yes, I'm racist because I brought up the decleration that freed the slaves. (huh?)

Wow. The last 3 exchanges went right over your head didn't they? You'd better get your sarcasm detector tuned up.

Cops dont know what there talking about.

 

[deemar325]

Eminem with another divorce and Proof dead.
He must be in stress hell.

Oddly enough this will be fuel for a probaly amazing new record from Eminem.(Yeah I'm selfish.)

 

[deemar325]

Here's an idea. If you're making money as a musician, get rid of the ****ing guns and stop acting like a ****ing ******. I'm sorry, call me insensitive, but I feel no remorse.

Another reason not to like you.

 

[Neto Magnus]

Damn I met this dude back in his underground days. I wish I had gotten an autograph.

 

[Darth Elektra]

Well it is sad but Eminem's next album will be amazing.

 

[War Lord]

RIP Proof!

Is that 180 or 190 proof?

 

[deemar325]

I'm not doing because I wish to do things are challenging.

That and being black is almost a prerequisite to doing rap.

Your not very endearing.So since I'm black I wanna rap? War lord man your nutty.

 

[War Lord]

Damn I met this dude back in his underground days. I wish I had gotten an autograph.

His first underground days was when he was just an amateur. His second set gives him authenticity.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

It takes no talent to do rap, which is why it's not challenging, which is why I don't do it.

Are you following me?

It takes a ton of skill to do rap and hip hop, especially considering that most original rap artists used to do all their rap off the cuff, and in concert a lot still do. Tupac, BIGGIE, Eminem (though overrated), Nas, Jay Z, Run DMC, Beastie Boys are all f---ing genius

 

[deemar325]

Is that 180 or 190 proof?

So what do you define as good music? I like that you clump everyone in a certain genre of music as the same. I guess we all ignorant n***rs to you?

Yes because everything the police say is true

Agree! Although I'm torn about Jay-Z, he's more rapper as opposed to true artist.He's definately a good business man.

I guess Kirk Cobain got what he deserved also? Get out of here with that mess a man died.

 

[SapphirePrima]

RIP, I was really hoping for another D12 album.

He is definitely smart. I think there is more to his music than meets the eye, certainly not in his chart hits, but I think he has some songs that are intellectually good songs.

 

[deemar325]

^ He has his moments, just like Nas had his shiny suit moments with Puffy.
