Yeah, Vanilla Ice will tell you he can fix your kitchen for $2000 and then charge you $4000.

Hell, that could be any contractor.

I pour out a 40 for my homie Earl Van Dorn. RIP.

We all know Andre Rison dealt with that Left Eye bitch.

[Eddie Teach]

That list looks smaller than Bravo's list.

[Capetan Mihali]

That list looks smaller than Bravo's list.

Not many hip-hop artists are old enough to have died natural deaths, given that the genre's only been around since c.1979...

[Eddie Teach]

Among regular people who aren't hiphop artists, accidental deaths are more common than homicides. 

[Capetan Mihali]

Among regular people who aren't hiphop artists, accidental deaths are more common than homicides. 

For American men in their 20s and 30s, suicide plus homicide is close nearly equals accidental deaths.  And if you're including drug overdoses, as 11B's list did, it's got to be well in excess (though they're included in the accident statistics as unintentional poisonings).

[CountDeMoney]

When you are a minority you get held responsible for what other members of your group do for some stupid reason.  It is not like everybody suspects every white man is an angry right wing militia member.

Not according to Seedy. 

I'm keeping it real, Ruby Ridge.

[Razgovory]

Among regular people who aren't hiphop artists, accidental deaths are more common than homicides. 

I wonder how many Country musicians died from Alcohol or drug overdose.

[Eddie Teach]

I wonder how many Country musicians died from Alcohol or drug overdose.

Probably quite a few. Life imitates art once again.
