1. I didn't make this about deaths in hip-hop because those are obvious answers and go beyond music. Those are tragedies of life. This post is about example like the one I posted originally.

2. Why do people act like if Pac and Big stayed alive things would be different as if they were above the bullshit? They both released some very suspect music in their short careers and started many of the trends we hate which would lead one to believe that they would be right there with whatever was hot.
