Default Rapper shot dead
A member of Eminem's rap collective D12 has been killed in a nightclub shooting in Detroit.

Proof, whose real name was Deshaun Holton, was shot at a club on Eight Mile Road, made famous in Eminem's autobiographical film 8 Mile.

He was a longtime friend of Eminem and had acted as his best man at his wedding in January.

A publicist for D12's record label Interscope said arrangements were being made for a memorial service.

Police said that two people had been shot in the head, one fatally, after an argument broke out at the CCC nightclub.

Proof originally put forward the idea of forming D12 with friends he met at Detroit clothes store Hip-Hop Shop.

Despite Eminem's huge solo success he continued to record the group, which released albums D12 World and Devil's Night.

The group scored a number two hit in the UK with Purple Hills in 2001 - which had its name changed from Purple Pills to ensure radio play - and My Band in 2004.

Proof made an appearance in the critically acclaimed 8 Mile and is credited on the award-winning soundtrack.

His best man duties came at Eminem's second wedding to Kim Mathers. The pair have since announced they are to divorce again after less then three months of marriage.

D12 member Obie Trice was recently shot at while driving in Detroit. He was wounded in the attack, while his girlfriend remained unhurt.

Noooo! Never again!

Rest In Peace, Mr Proof!

Not to disrespect anybody, but I heard the police had conducted an investigation and found that Proof actually fired the first shot himself, which critically injured another audience member?

Come on now, you know you want it..

Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Chuck Chuck Baby ( Norris ) ( x4 )

I'm assuming those are Vanilla Ice lyrics

Who can take a rapper seriously when they look like:


P.s. - the last lines sound like you're asking the audience to hurl! That's if you've got my mindset, lol!

What have I done, changing a dignified thread into something altogether more childish! Shame on me?!
