What is it about being a rapper and dying young? Seems there is a long long list of rappers who died well before the age of 50.

Mostly violent gun deaths or ODs, some cancers.

Sorry to hear about Wilford Brimley, one of my favorite actors.

We had the pleasure of meeting him in a bar at the Palliser Hotel in Calgary many years ago. He was in Calgary filming some movie and was having a drink by himself. We noticed and went over to say 'hi' and he was very gracious and friendly and chatted with us for a few minutes. Nice man.

I agree, what is it about rappers, so many dying violently.

How's this for stats,
A 2015 study concluded that murder was the cause of 51.5% of U.S. hip hop musician deaths.[1] The study noted that this figure refers primarily to premature deaths as most hip hop musicians have not yet lived long enough to fall into the highest-risk ages for heart- and liver-related illnesses.

48 of them here,
