lol im not trying ta relate this to pac or sayin proof also faked his death or anything but isnt kind of a weird coincidence that he died at 4:30 a.m???
if u switch the last 2 numbers around it'll be 4:03 am
same time pac "died"

especially that kurt cobaine song...he says sometimes he wished he was dead:-/ and at the end of the song died.

Man, shut up with the conspiracies. Seriously.

and listen to the skit on track on #4 he dies in that too weirder yet in that skit somebody else shoots him

Ok, for the last time Q.

He wasn't trying to prove anything. He probably went to one of his favorite clubs, in his home city, and wanted to have a fun night out. When you have some fame every place you go is going to be dangerous because of your fame,

It's like you leave behind your town because you are too 'good' for it. If I get famous, I'm gonna go where I feel at home. Whether it's Detroit or Beverly Hills, I want to be comfortable. Also, you carry a gun for protection because of the fame you have. People will kill you just so they are remembered throughout history as the guy who killed you.

Only the most famous people get shot randomly, and right now Hip Hop idols are the biggest thing and that's why they are being gunned down.

Of course, just like I stated yesterday, rappers/DJs/etc are defending hip hop by saying, "this doesn't mean it was rap related."

pssf...sure...My question to them is: "How many opera, country, pop, and jazz performers have been gunned down in the last 10 years"?

Rap breeds violence and Proof is its latest victim. RIP tho...

It's just sad man.

Another thing...I find it eerie that he depicted his death in Em's video for "Toy Soldiers." Like Pac and Big, I wonder if he had an obsession over death and became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Who knows...

The rap industry had better be careful though. If things like this continue to happen, then the government will become involved, spying on rappers even more than they already do and imposing regulations on music.

^^That's what I think.

I 100% disagree.
Most rappers who go back and home visit the street and clubs they used to go to isnt because they want to prove manhood. I mean,it's dumb ... but thats where they grew up at,just cuz u got a little money dont mean u cant go back,it isnt the smart thing,but im sure he didnt do it to prove he's 'hard'

When u grow up around that shit (maybe u dont understand) it's not that easy to leave it all behind,no matter how much money u have.

Opera,jazz and country preformers dont go back home to the 'hood'. Because 95% of them didnt grow up around that,so why go?!

Thats my view on shit ...

sup auto, ^ thats exactly what i was sayin, he just went to go back, nobodys trying to prove they're hard or whatever, he had a gun to protect himself, he felt threatened, its either kill or be killed, but someone else shot proof after he shot the first guy so lose lose situation i guess

OUr own kind will kill ourselves..........

why tha fuck did he even want 2 shoot a fuckin bouncer?...... like bro?.. they r thre 2 stop fuckin fites... n well he did start tha shit..

RIP proof
