I remember when Tupac dies when I was in elementary. Half the class cried. I can't imagen being attached to an artist during the past 12 years because its depressing that so many of them end up getting shot and even end up died.  Why is it happening so often now? Is it because a lot of artist openly claim gang more? Is it the beefing on records? Maybe we have more successful rappers due to the internet and that makes it easier for them to get touched. Or D all of the above
