Proof's Gone, Who The Hell Next?!

[Itsunari 2000]

There's a dangerous culture associated with the genre nowadays - gangsta rap, I mean. It's no secret that high profile rappers have ties to street gangs like the Bloods and the Crips, and rap rivalries often escalate to violent gang feuds which end up in shootings. I don't know if Proof was involved in gangs or not- but somebody evidently had beef with him.
