We have to make better choices. Pride comes before a fall. Rest in Peace to both men

Man this one hurt me big time. He died on my 18th birthday back in 06 🙏🏽 his voice was unique and his flow was ill “Searching for Jerry Garcia” was one my favorite albums to bump my senior year in HS. RIP Proof. 🙏🏽🥀

What a touching video. Thank you. Folks, leave the old neighborhood. If you able to make it out, leave and stay out. Jealousy and envy are nothing to play with.

My dad cried his eyes out when he heard proof died and its not like him to cry Rip proof

If any of Proofs kids read this I had the honor of seeing your Dad and Em in concert twice and the chemistry they had in person was crazy. I still listen to Searching for Garcia, and his mixtapes he was a true lyricist. RIP BiG Proof!!

My cousin, a rap artist in Detroit, used to tell me when he would go perform at a club or would run into Proof he was always a really kool and down to earth guy. I woulda loved to see what he'd be today

[apprentessjgooden]

Crazy thing is, he popped dude first and his cousin shot Proof, dude was not to played with R.I.P to the people who passed away ✌🏾

I still remember reading the headline that Proof was murdered. I felt so bad for Eminem because of how close him and Proof were. I've wanted for years for someone to do a deeper dive into what led up to the murder. Just a terrible tragedy that was totally preventable.

R.I.P. Proof😢 we miss you way from Compton California

Imagine getting into an argument over POOL where you get worked up enough to end someones life and risk doing 25 to Life and throwing your whole life away. Literally gone, your life as you know it over with. You as a human being are now going to be removed from this world and thrown into a jail cell for the rest of your life, living like a bird. I did 6 years in prison a long time ago. Its not worth it and ill never go back.

I used to know Deshaun. His Mom worked with mine, so thats where it started. We went to the same HS, but we both skipped, a lot. After graduation, we went to bars together, and he always wore pajamas with a big chain. He was a funny ass dude. My profile photo is our last drink outing together, probably March of 06. I miss D, his moms too.
