Proof fired the first shot
|
damn...he was one of my favourite..r.i.p
|
stupid of him to pull out a gun and shoot the bouncer tho..he shud have known there was gonna be consiquences..he leaves behind 5 kids right? damn..
|
if you're threatened and gotta shoot first you gotta do what you gotta do =/
|
Again, my question is, why even be in that environment? Why is he carrying around a gun? Why do rappers feel like they have to prove their manhood/bravado through violence?
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. |

word..i thought this was weird aswell...even listening to his album `searching for jerry garcia` with songs such as "kurt cobain", he seems to be obsessed with death and suicide... |
i dont think the gov will do shit, how many white men over the age of 40 like rap? or even care about younger minorities in hip hop :-\ not many imo, and thats what the government is composed of, and just because proof had a gun doesnt mean he had it because it made him look cool or whatever, he had it for protection cuz he was in a bad area, i dont think the fact that he had a gun makes it seem like he had it cuz it was 'gangsta' type shit, and hes there cuz he prolly just like to hang out there =/ thats his choice, its not so smart to go back to a bad area when you're famous already but he did it anyway
|
This is the type of shit that happens when you pull a gun on somebody.
|
his album already came out???????????
|
Quote:
yup..."Searching for Jerry Garcia"..some of the tracks is tight.. |
Quote:
lol good point, a lot of jazz people are from ghettos though, atleast older jazz from the 20s im guessing since it was mainly in harlem and shit |
i swear it wasnt suppose to come out until later this year........ did u buy it at a store or did u bootlegg it?
|
naa man, i bought it today in store...when did u think it would be out?
|
what is it with peeps n their guns these days man!!!

That's my point son. These guys are involved in rap and rap breeds violence. They can't leave it alone. So, to say violence and rap aren't intertwined is crazy. 1 |
R.I.P. Proof... damn son.

EXACTLY he did...there was his death in toy soldiers, and if you listen to his solo album "searchin for jerry garcia" that album is FULL of remarks bout his death and shit and even all of the booklet and shit is filled wit shit like that...everything 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" |
Quote:
lmao just sayin it is weird |

No...saying "yo yos" BREED violence is a dumb comment because yo yos aren't "art" in the media sense of the word. This is the age old argument of: "Does life imitate art or art life?" Rap is an artform. I believe that life imitates art. If it didn't, then why do we use music at all? Anyone who isn't a bonehead knows that music influences the way we think/feel. Come on bro... Rap and violence go hand and hand. |

this aint related ta rap but people like oprah winfrey is from the ghetto and oprah still is in the hood i mean i been outside of her set there be4 over in chicago a few years back...she was so poor she couldnt even afford a tv..but she lived in a hood filled wit violence and works today in an environment that is filled wit violence and she has nothing ta do wit rap at all yet she still living and aint shooting anybody or anything...if u ask me its rap that brings the drama...but we also speak alotta violence in rap too....since when has a jazz singer get in beef wit another jazz singer and start dissin them left and right in songs lmfao it dont happen but when u talk shit to a person they gon react most likely violently and rap is really the only genre of music where u can actually talk shit bout someone else in a song |
OH
and yo yos don't send out messages either so that was a stupid statement on your part bro Use better analogies please...cuz that one is an insult to my intelligence |
Quote:
yea exactly government NEVER does shit for rappers when they die i dont see why they dont it like they on the killers side fo real i mean think about it they tell us they gon find the killer when in real life they really dont give a fuck yet instead of takin another person wit a gun off the street they dont even bother trying cuz they hate rappers and gangstas yet they dont bother ta arrest them thats fucked up |
Quote:
how u know that u listen ta jazz? |
Quote:
Why do you keep typing that? I did not say rap BREATHES violence. I said rap BREEDS violence, which it does. Life imitates that artform, and vice versa. But, the question is, why would a rapper who's "made it" continue to act out the images often depicted in rap music? hmmmm |

And they pay the ultimate price as a result. "If you live by the gun, you'll die by the gun." 1 |
word...........

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. |

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..........
