The death rate of rappers.



Controversial subject; "The Murder rate of Rappers".

I don't think I would become a rapper, not even for millions of dollars, the death rate is too high.

While "mudslingers" are welcomed in this debate, I view it from the point of view of someone who studied "sociology" at an institution of higher learning; we look at all aspects of any given subject involving many individuals.

The most recent murder was "Pop Smoke"; dead at 20 years old.

In a word: inadequate.


This thread is not about "Pop Smoke" but the murder rate of all rappers going back 10 years. All posts must respect the deceased.
Many of these guys come from rough neighborhoods, and like Aaron Hernandez, they can struggle with parting from their "thug-life" pasts. Then there are those who seem to think they must live up to the persona they portray in their music. 

Will Smith didn't succeed as a rapper for a reason.
