Another one of my faves that I feel gets overlooked when it comes to talking about dead rappers is Proof. He has two solo albums and the work he did with D12.

Em does tend to mention him pretty often though throughout various songs because of how much of a mentor he was to him.

I never got very familiar with D12 but Proof always seemed like the best of them. There's a reason that Eminem respected him.


I'm going to bring up another one that makes me sad: MCA aka Adam Yauch

There's no way those kids would have made it without his deep voice floating in the sea of nasal sounds that was the Beastie Boys. Here's a song with some of my favorite MCA stuff.

The Beasties are awesome. Incredibly solid discography.

I feel the need to mention Pimp C. Him and Bun B had INCREDIBLE chemistry together with Pimps high pitched voice and Bun's low southern drawl.

Yes, I agree with that. He's definitely one of the best dead rappers in the game.
