Since 1987, an astonishing 52 rappers have been murdered, with only a handful of them solved.

Damn. shyt is sad. Rest in Paradise to all these young brothers who died way too soon.

Its wild tho how many of these were in the south. Houston got a few, GA got a couple, but New Orleans damn near half the list.

Throw in Detroit and Oakland and its clear to see where our people are really struggling.

Yeah hip hop started in NY, but the majority of poverty, crime and over all fukked up shyt was going on in other spots the whole time.

shyt is interesting

Still crazy to me that Biggie didn't make it to 25 brehs

RIP SLIM DUNKIN & PHAT

 

[GYAAAL YA PUM PUM FAT!]

I'm surprised the number is that low, to be honest.....

I'm surprised the number is that low, to be honest.....

That's because rappers sayin how many people they've killed doesn't count.

 

[JayGatsby]

cases would be solved if people told em who did it

I dont know how or why this thread devolved into a goddamned Mac Dre vs. Big L beef of all things, but this report just proves how little the lives of black youth in the hood are valued. That old Chris Rock joke about if you wanna get away with murder, put a demo in the person's pocket is true.

Whats crazier is this is hardly a complete list. I either didnt see or missed:

Slang Ton (from the Outsidaz)
Half-a-Mil
Chip Banks (Wu-Tang/Raekwon affiliate)
E-Money Bags
Hood (Scenario remix with Tribe and LONS)

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Didn't know it where that many...

[HabitualLineSteppa]

Not a "rapper" but OG Double D deserves a lil shout out...

E Money bags murder was solved

 

[Juggalo Fred]

gotta disagree
look at their affiliations, cant compare - plus L was on the verge of signing with the number 1 label just before he got killed

Big L was gonna sign to Psychopathic????

 

[Ronnie Lott]

....those two albums by Big L shyt on anything Mac Dre has ever done.....I swear that nikka was trash.....I dont care who gives that nikka props he was fukking trash.....

Mac Dre had more impact and influence on hip hop culture then Big L did

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Mac Dre is a legend now???.............I swear you dumb mothafukkaz will say the most asinine shyt to back up your argument.....

He is a legend
