charon 4,943 Posted June 20, 2017 Who posted the pic last year, year before, re average age of death for pop genres? Could do with a bump as rappers do what rappers do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted June 20, 2017 One UK top ten with Fiddy and all the papers are over this story. Took 10 freaking days to scrape one single obit from the UK press for a member of The Beat. *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted June 21, 2017 Isn't that data heavily flawed though because the first "rappers" would only have been born, at the earliest, around 1949, and thus wouldn't have had the chance to die of old age yet? I mean the Sugarhill Gang aren't even 60. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted June 21, 2017 And Pigmeat Markham was born in 1904, so maybe I should retract my statement: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 1, 2017 (As we say in the D....) Ain't no party like a Dee-troit party Two local rappers were slain yesterday following a drive-by shooting in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 94 close to Livernois Avenue.Cops were first called to the scene early Sunday morning. The victims, 27-year- old Raymell Campbell and 26-year- old Dominique Brown, were pronounced dead on scene.The white Chrysler 200 they were traveling in was hit with around 30 bullets, leading to the highway being closed for nearly nine hours.Campbell was known as 47 Mell and Brown was referred to as Domo Brown. 47 Mell was a popular Detroit Emcee. Brown had received local recognition despite only recording music for a month. The pair were recent guests on Hot 107.5’s Friday Night Cypher. The two were departing from a recording studio at the time they were slain.Brown, who died on her older brother’s birthday, leaves behind a 4-year- old-son and 1-year- old daughter.

FixedBusiness 407 Posted August 24, 2017 XXXTentacion, best known as a SoundCloud rapper but has gotten quite a bit of attention in the hiphop/rap universe from critics such as Anthony Fantano, recently posted a picture and a video on Instagram (by recently I mean yesterday-ish) depicting the thoughts and acts of suicide. In the video on Instagram, XXXTentacion appears to hang himself off a tree. It was all faked and was a publicity stunt for his new album, being released 25th August 2017. I'm thinking this dude might be a good one for the "unstable" category.http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/xxxtentacion-hangs-himself-on-instagram-nsfw-news.36629.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
