For two reasons, I got nothing to do at work, and to point out what a waste of time it is to even care about this dude. And to irritate people who say "You just don't know how great D12 was man! Proof was the shiznit!" Like I said, never heard of him and I have heard of losers like Shaggy Too Dope.
I have hundreds of rap cd's that go back to the origins, right up to present day. Sugar Hill Gang, Run DMC, Whodini, UTFO, Afrika Bambata and the Soulsonic Force, Melly Mel, BDP, blahbity blah from day one, right up to a bunch of the garbage that is made today. (I get it for free) Anyone who can listen to Wu Tang clan or the like and think it is deep or means anything needs help. The last talented group with anything to say IMHO was Arrested Development and that was ten years ago at least.
The gangs, drugs and thugs have completely taken over the industry and running around telling abunch of thirteen year old kids to booze it up, smoke blunts, carry a gun, and empty it into someone whenever you can. Dumb. Do I care if the kids do it and turn into cell mate #4512274 or wind up dead? Nope. Do I care if the rap "artist" winds up dead? Nope. If you are dumb enough to fall for this stuff, perfect. Thinning the herd.
The only people that care he is dead are people that look up to him. And the people that look up to him are foolish and wasting their time. When you get past 25, you may discover you dont like the music anymore because it is childish and stupid. Or you may listen occassionally and like a song or two, but not give a rats about the personalities. If you are beyond 25 and still worshipping rap stars then you might need help. Some people cared when Kurt Cobain (sp?) blew his brains out, WHO CARES? Len Bias snorted coke. People die every day, but if it is someone who dies through their own actions, well, then they are just a dumbass and fantasize like you had some sort of personal connection would be stupid. He took you $12 for his last record, bought some dope and some bullets and could not give a rats what happens to you.
We got one of these "Biggie and Tupac are dead" threads every so often half the people said "I never saw it coming." If you ask me, rappers are great dead pool picks. They are constantly around drugs, gangs and weapons and are stupid. The only one that surprised me at all was Jam Master Jay.
I might crank a little 50 Cent at a party to set a mood, but I don't care if he adds to his bullet hole collection.

.I agree with a lot of what you said though, I am just a d12 fan so this news struck me as not so much sad, but more mad. Who knows what happend. Maybe Proof was drunk and being dumb. Maybe he was threatend. Maybe a little green alien beamed down from the sky and set the whole thing up. I doubt we will ever know. Not that too many people care anyways
If I am in a pissed off mood, i'll flip the ipod to my shady records playlist, put it on random, and be laughing in a matter of minutes. This is what I like about them vs other artists. This thread wasn't supposed to be a who thinks rappers are gangsters thread, or who thinks he deserved it thread, it was simply to let anyone that might care know about it.

Personally I like Wu-tang (circa 1995) and wouldn't bunch them toghether with this Gangsta-Pop trend going on. They're not saints, but its not mindless BS from rappers like 50 cent, ja-rule, etc.
What happened to the hip hop of the good old days? Tribe, De La Soul, Heiroglphyics ...miss those guys
