Read my reply. I've added a qualifyer. I understand that I stated my case poorly to begin with. The fact of the matter is that there are some deaths that are clearly not worthy of negative and spiteful comment. Rather no comment at all. This was one of those.

Now Yasser, Saddams people, OBL, Castro, those kind of people are open game.

Sadly I feel that his "art" wasn't seperated from his "person" in these comments. People figure "If he rapped about bad stuff.......then he did bad stuff"

I just did a little research on this person. Right away I found that he fathered several children out of wedlock with several different women and went in a limousine to pick food stamps for those children. That behavior alone might be enough to get him crucified in these parts.

It appears that he was a life long criminal who happened to be a performer. The latter will not erase the former and I assume therein lies the disrespect you saw after his death.
