In the days when jazz and swing were popular, physical violence and severe drug abuse were quite common.
Lee Morgan comes to mind.

All the hardcore rappers seem to end up underground, six feet under ground. Big Hawk is the newest member of raps eternal underground club.

I don't think there are enough numbers to answer that question.

Aside from the Bling-bling crowd, the only non-rapper I can remember getting murdered was that Latino singer, Selena. The president of her own fan club blew her away. Then there are the never-ending rumors that Kurt Cobain didn't kill himself, but that Courtney Love offed him. But that's about it.
BTW, Elvis doesn't count, since he's actually with the aliens on a UFO. ;^)

Big Hawk..him and his homies be lying in chalk.
They should "axe" why "that had" happened to them when they get judged.

You my friend are a rock for your family and "The Children". Even with this tragedy weighing on your soul, you, can still keep up your normal routine.
My Kanga Cap and Fedora are off to you sir.
Tonight, I will pour a little of my 40 on the curb tonight.

Shows how much I've forgotten, and pretty much disconnected myself from music, except for classic rock. I completely forgot about Marvin Gaye and John Lennon, but I'm not familiar with any of the others. Speaking of the Beatles, didn't somebody try to stab George Harrison a few years before he died?

Nominated for the Dead Rapper Memorial Hall of Fame. But the waiting list is so long he may have to wait a few years for induction.

Very rare that I laugh at an obit, but this one's a riot.

Department of motor vehicles? Man, I AM sorry. As Dane Cook says, the first thing you should do when you go there is punch yourself hard, right in the face. Then it doesn't seem so bad.

Of course, they're all still alive and sharing a big mansion with Tupak.

I admit I'm not a fan of rap music, but I don't celebrate someone being murdered. How tragic for the mother to have lost two sons.
To: GreenLanternCorps
"Rapper Dies of Old Age Surrounded by Friends and Family Menbers" Now that would be news! Well in all fairness rap has only been around since the late seventies. So there are no old rappers and that is really not possible for another 20-30 years.
