That would be eery if it is true, considering we see Proof mimic his own murder in the clip to Eminem's "Mockingbird" video

Title: D12 Rapper Proof Passes On After Shooting
Post by: Dynamic on April 11, 2006, 08:06:19 AM



A prominent member of Detroit's hip-hop community was killed in a shooting at a Detroit night club early Tuesday morning.

Rapper and producer Proof, whose real name is DeShaun Holton (pictured), was one of two shooting victims at the CCC Club on east Eight Mile Road, near Gratiot Avenue, according to Detroit police.

When police arrived at the scene, the club was empty, Local 4 reported. Both victims had been taken to a hospital, according to police.

Proof was taken to St. John Holy Cross Hospital, and the second victim was taken to St. John Hospital, police said.

Both victims suffered a gunshot wound to the head, police said. Local 4 initially reported the second victim also died but has learned the 35-year-old man remains hospitalized in critical condition at St. John Hospital, according to police. His name was not released.

The rapper is a long-time friend of rap star Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers. Proof appeared in Eminem's movie "Eight Mile" as Li'l Tic, the station learned.

Police are searching for a gunman. A description was not available.

A witness was being questioned by police.

The shooting remains under investigation.

"Interscope represenatives also confirmed Bizarre was not involved in the incident.

"Contrary to earlier rumors and reports, D-12 member Bizarre was not involved in the incident in Detroit last night," Interscope said. "He was at home in Atlanta, Georgia."

Earlier reports stated that Bizarre had been shot or that police were seeking to question him, after an altercation took place in the club."

Damn, yeah, I even forgot about that video. Damn. What can I say, I'm speechless. I guess it's game over for D12 now, with 2 (or 3? depends on Bizarre's part in all of this) members dead from gunfire and one retired, that would leave them with only Swift, Kuniva and Kon Artis.

I don't think we should put this on the stereotypes of Hip-Hop though... It seems this is more stereotype of the hood life these young blacks are leading. Hip-Hop just happens to be the culture best representing them. It's a shame for Proof because he seemed to be the only D12 member really being able to put something decent down, lyrically. It's too bad he had a speaking disorder so I never really liked him, but it's a waste of talent and a waste of young life.


Rest in peace.

WTF is Kuniva dead too?

http://geocities.com/breakingmusicnews/index.html


The detroit based group D12, which was brought to the scene by rapper Eminem is today mourning their freestyle king.

Proof which was born DeShaun Holton on October 2, 1975 took two bullets in the back of his head during a drive by near 8 Mile Road. He was reportedly accompanied by another black male who also died from his injuries.

The black male was recentley identified as Von Carlisle whom is another member of D12 known as Kuniva. It's been reported that the two have died immediately after their wounds.

Investigators are linking this inccident to rapper Benzino, who was spotted fleeing the scene earlier before the incident.



dammit this is terrible news....1nce again R.I.P. to Proof, I send my condolences....Who ever the other man who died was, Kuniva or not, R.I.P. to him too....This is another in a long line of sad days for rap music, they will be sorley missed :'(

Benzino is linked to this?! WTF...Man. This is some crazy shit. Proof was very talented, and it was so unexpected...That really sucks, this is definitely the end of D12, especially if Kuniva was killed as well, as reported by geocities/breaking news. I predict Em will come back to make some dedication records, most likely it'll be good, because I believe he'll put his heart into this (as he hasn't done with his music for a while)...But damn, I'm just shocked, I always liked MC Proof.

Ya, you're right, but I really hope they find the killer tho, it's easy for a website to accuse someone ( Tommy Lee, Benzino, Murder Inc ), it could be a stranger who had beef with him, wtv... r.i.p to him and the other man who died, that's really fucked up news

Quote
Proof died today (shalalalalaaa)
I feel sad and stale (shaalallalaa)
Oh Jesus, will you help me?
Because..

[Chorus 2x]
This is the section..
Of my life
Where I need protection
To survive
So rain down the 'Life Styles'
So I can have an erection
On more time

Oh Jesus, How am I supposed to have sex now?
The black black daaaaark cloud is coming down
Clowns are crying, groupies are whining
My dick is dieing coz Proof is my king

[Chorus 2x]

OOOooOOohh..Oh..Oh Proof..
I swear to the stars that I wont be able to jerk off
All my semen shall be frozen, and my is permed off
Ohh, what shall I do Proof?
Without You?
And that other guy who supposedely died, I don't even know what his name is
But I still would love to have him shove it up my anus
As I feed Bizzare chicken wings like a dolphin while singing "My Name Is"
By now my dreams have died (Your dreams have died)
They're all gone, but atleast Eminem has left his wife (Eminem left his wife)
So let's keep on singing...(Let's sing togethaaaa)

you gotta be at least semi-retarded to take that site seriously...


RIP Proof

Anyone else find it kinda ironic how D12's last song on a major release was "One Shot 2 Shot", a song about shootings going on inside a club...Proof was the only D12 member not on that song, which is odd because that joint was on Encore. Sad coincidence.

Anyone else find it kinda ironic how D12's last song on a major release was "One Shot 2 Shot", a song about shootings going on inside a club...Proof was the only D12 member not on that song, which is odd because that joint was on Encore. Sad coincidence.

Oh shit, that's a sad coincidence
