<p>Out of 11 posts, there's only one "R.I.P." Regardless of how or why he passed away, he's gone now. He left behind a wife and five children. </p>

<p>Man, it's not like these people are productive or anything, who ****ing cares?</p>

<p>Although I don't listen to rap too much, I don't think one can dismiss this because

. Not to say that I'm crying over him passing, but I still find it disrespectful to say that about anyone...well at least most people. </p>

<p>And how can you argue that he wasn't productive? On what grounds? In comparison to who? Is it ok if someone who isn't "productive" to die?</p>

<p>DETROIT — Rapper Proof fired the first bullet in a Detroit nightclub shootout that ended his life, police said Wednesday.</p>

<p>The tears... just won't come... for this guy.</p>

<p>Rethink what you just said, please. You're probably a young adult, in college, who hasn't had much of a career yet, do you count as "productive?" </p>

<p>Proof was part of a group that sold 4 million albums. The money went to the record company who spent that money on other stuff. Employees then got that money and spent it on other stuff leading to a boost in the economy. I'm not saying without Proof that our economy will crumble, but selling 4 million albums is a big personal accomplishment compared to anything that most of us on this board have done. </p>

<p>No offense to any Rock fans out there, but what if Travis from Blink 182 died and someone said, "its not like rockers are productive or anything, who *<strong><em>ing cares?" What if Tim McGraw died and someone said, "its not like country singers are productive or anything, who *</em></strong>ing cares?" </p>

<p>Fact of the matter is, if you want to blatantly disrespect someone, please keep it to yourself. If you want to voice an opinion, do it with respect.</p>

<p>Sorry, I'll speak my opinion as long as we have freedom of speech, Prophasi. People who work at McDonald's are more productive than rappers.</p>

<p>Wow, neverborn is such a blatant racialist</p>

<p>I'm not arguing against the fact that you express your opinion (I know you were referring to Prophasi but just wanted to make it clear), I just don't agree that his death is meaningless because he wasn't "productive". </p>

<p>I won't cry for this guy either, but I'm still against your ideology.</p>

<p>Perhaps when decisions come out we'll all find better things to do with our lives rather than argue over this ****.</p>
