You don't get any better, do you?

They'll never find the gun man, they never do when its a rapper.

As Chris Rock once said.. "if you wanna get away with murder in the USA, just stick a demo tape in his pocket"

Shame. Never really was a fan, but its a waste of life, especially since he brought a lot to the rap scene.

I guess this means that MC Proof will be releasing albums for at least the next 10 years.

Wrong spy, one of the bouncers at the club has turned himself in to the police.

Mr Mathers certainly will, what with this and his recent divorce (again) he's not going to be stuck for material...

According to this report, Proof shot first.

From Yahoo Music news;

Authorities in Detroit confirmed today that the D12 rapper instigated a deadly nightclub shooting early Tuesday that left him dead and another man critically injured with a bullet wound to the head.

The incident occurred at club C.C.C. along Eight Mile--a road immortalized by Proof's longtime pal Eminem in his hit semi-autobiographical film--at approximately 4:30 a.m., after the bar remained open illegally past its regular business hours.

The 32-year-old Proof, whose real name was Deshaun Holton, was rushed to Holy Cross Hospital in a private vehicle, but was pronounced dead on arrival. The second victim, 35-year-old Keith Bender, is still reportedly touch-and-go at St. John Conner Creek Hospital.

According to Detroit police spokesman Sergeant Omar Feliciano, detectives on the scene have determined the hip-hopster was the first to draw a gun and started shooting at Bender after the two got into a heated argument.

Investigators were still trying to sort out who fired the fatal shot that struck Proof in the head, killing him. Police said that a man has turned himself in to police for questioning, but it was not immediately known if he was a suspect. His identity was not revealed.

A previous press report stating Proof was licensed to carry a firearm was false, the police spokesperson added. No other details were made available.

However, reports in the Detroit Free Press and AllHipHop.com shed a bit more light on the incident.

The Free Press says Proof pistol-whipped Bender, a former Army staff sergeant, before firing.

"Proof knocked the dude down and stood over him with gun in hand," a source close to the rapper is quoted by AllHipHop.com. "Proof shot first...Proof was shot four times--twice in the head and twice in the chest/stomach area."

Not bad, considering Curtain Call was meant to be just that. Well, I suppose his reasons for saying that don't matter anymore though, since he was "quitting" to enjoy married life.

If that is the true story, then maybe everyone can stop praising him. If he pulled a gun first then it's his own damn fault.
