"You don't know where to begin when you lose somebody who's been such a big part of your life for so long. Proof and I were brothers. He pushed me to become who I am. Without Proof's guidance and encouragement there would have been a Marshall Mathers, but probably not an Eminem and certainly never a Slim Shady. Not a day will go by without his spirit and influence around us all. He will be missed as a friend, father and both the heart and ambassador of Detroit hip-hop.
Right now, there's a lot of people focusing on the way he died. I want to remember the way he lived. Proof was funny, he was smart, he was charming. He inspired everyone around him. He can never, ever be replaced. He was, and always will be, my best friend." - Eminem
J-DILLA died from the group Slum Village which is another Detroit artist. He produced for them and was a up and coming good producer from the D.
Proof died like last week and got shot outside several times after a fight broke out. He was D-12's best rapper and really good at freestyling. RIP Peace PROOF
Don't forgot Bugz from D12. And no there doesn't go D12. They lost Bugz before they were big and they still went on, Proof would want them to go on and they will.
No, that is the EXACT reason WHY they WILL stay together. Proof wouldn't want them to stop making music. They lost Bugz and still did 2 albums together and several solo. Rest in Pieces Slim Shady. Rest in Peace Proof, Bugz, Christopher Wallace, Lisa Lopez, Tupac Shakur, Aliya, and all the others who left us too early.
