why are rappers dieing so young these days?

[love33]

I'm not talkin about 2pac or biggie, or gun-related cause that's different -- not talking about gun violence related, but why are so many males in the rap community (producers, affiliates, rappers, etc.) all going down so young (in their 40s and 50s it seems) -- the average life expectancy is around 80 for a guy, but dudes are dropping off left and right it seems -- but we've lost nate dogg, johnny j, ricky harris, and the outlawz are all just about gone -- i wonder why?

yes kfc and these days, i 'd say pain killer cocktail that contains codeine, morphin(promethazine)..doctors have been in part responsible for all these deaths ..
and a lot of dumb people do weight training (bodybuilding) in their 40,50's and dont even walk, run, swimm (cardio workout)
