I wonder how high rapper is on the list of most dangerous jobs? Its gotta be in the top ten by now

[IncPen]

I'll need to see Proof before I believe THIS.

[reagan_fanatic]

He's now 0% Proof.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

The Proof is in...the ground.

[dead]

I hope he wasn't the fat guy. The fat guy was funny.

[Recovering Hermit]

The music video for the Eminem song "Like Toy Soldiers" shows Eminem pacing a hospital hallway as doctors try to revive Proof, who has been shot.

Life imitating art, I guess.

[theDentist]

Another Rapper shot dead. I'm stunned. Who'da expected that?

[garyhope]

Gee, another rapper shot to death.

I'm greatly saddened. How many does that leave?

[dfwgator]

We've lost this generation's Mozart. Whatever shall we do?

[Revolting cat!]

real name Deshaun Holton

No big loss - there are plenty of 'Deshauns' where this one came from to take his place.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Ought to really help the sale of his albums.

[Sofa King]

"Eminem attends Proof's funeral as the song's lyrics lament the escalation in violence between rappers."

...as if it's some unfortunate circumstance that's just happening completely beyond their control.

[CzarNicky]

so there is no longer any Proof of rap group D12? Heck I never heard of them in the first place.

[FoxInSocks]

Patrol officers said the bar is a frequent source of problems on the city's east side. Tate said police have taken 18 incident reports there since 1996.

I guess, if you think once every six months is "frequent."

I have been across this nation, east-west and north-south, and I have never seen a dirtier town than Detroit. You know how most towns have a bad side? Detroit has a good side (right downtown).

My twin, a member here (NC KERR) is a staff sergeant in the army on recruiting duty in Michigan. He knows one of the victims, who just got a medical retirement from the US Army while he was on recruiting duty. I think the victim's name is Sergeant Spencer, I think, as my memory with names suck.

Anyways, NC Kerr's friend and colleague, was at that bar celebrating his doctor's release of him from being on a defibillator (Sgt. Spencer had a heart attack, thus causing his medical retirement). Sgt. Spencer was an avid pool-player, so he was most likely playing pool when a fight broke out. According to some information from those close to Sgt. Spencer, "Proof" of D12 pulled out a gun and pistol whipped Sgt. Spencer, then shot him in the face. At that time, somebody with Sgt. Spencer pulled out a gun and shot "Proof" in the body twice, and once in the head, thereby killing that cucarocha.

Now, remember that this is just speculation and one-sided information from the family of a hero, Sgt. Spencer. But, the news reports from the area seem to collaborate this story.
