10 people shot at French Montana music video filming. 

Apparently French Montana's bodyguard is injured, along with some rapper named Rob49. Can't find any updates in French Montana's condition.

Spanish language blog reporting the death of B.G. The Prince of Rap at age 57. Wikipedia has him as deceased, but no other source as yet. Had one U.S. Hot 100 hit, 'This Beat is Hot', which hit #72 in 1991.

Seems to me like a comparatively minor name, but I'm not with it.

Only ever released one album, on what appears to be his own label, back in 2006. Presumably he was getting enough RIPs on social media for the Sun to pay attention.

RIP.

"Two Is a Magic Number" doesn't feel right.

A great shame. Always had a soft spot for De La Soul. Three Feet High And Rising is an odd experience but undeniably iconic.

[Ulitzer95 12,668]

Sad, but I have to confess to looking them up recently and being surprised that all three were still alive.

80s groups of fat rappers/R&B singers tend to have at least one member missing e.g. Sugarhill Gang and LeVert.

Posdnuos is the only member of De La Soul who looks like he took care of himself. I'd expect him to live to a decent age. Maseo is still on the heavy side.

[Whitehouse 872]

Also known for a verse in Feelgood Inc. by Gorillaz. Big name.

6 ft low and sinking. I remember nicking the cassette when I worked at the Rough Trade warehouse in Collier St.

Was going over this in my head: how many actual rap groups (three members minimum) who released music in the 80s still have all members alive? The only one I could come up with was Compton's Most Wanted.

He wasn't in prison...it was in a gym in Florida.

 

Watched a few videos of it, he wasn't hurt that bad IMO. He'll live. TMZ is being dramatic

Yeah but they need to hire @wannamaker to invent the ‘prison’ angle.  That was brilliant.
