It has been a difficult year for hip hop, with so many brilliant artists lost. Eminem is not the one to comment on every death on social media, but he notices, mourns, and puts his feelings on wax.
Even more so, he takes these deadly shots as a warning to reach out and take care of those who are still with us.
These lines from Eminem’s verse on “EPMD2” recorded with Nas say it all:
R.I.P. out to DMX, geez louise, and MC Ecstasy
And Prince Markie Dee, MF DOOM.
I hit 50 via text
Told him that I love him ’cause I don’t even know when I’ma see him next
Tomorrow could be a death
