    Another Rapper, Dead

    Rapper Pimp C...

    (This could become a General Purpose Obituary)

    It amazes me how these young guys cant seem to keep themselves out of trouble. Given the opportunity, how can someone not want to "rise above"? My white, suburban, middle-class upbringing cant understand how a person who grew up poor would not want to undertake some serious self-improvement. Hell, if I won the lottery and didn't have to work every day, I'd go back to school. I kick myself every day for dropping out.

    Thought the above text sounded identical to the Sean Taylor thread...

        I feel ya. Pimp C literally came from Rags to Riches, selling CD's out of his trunk... and he dies from drug overdose.... If I was rich, especially from music, any thing that would stop me from making more money would be out of my life, particularly drugs... not only can it kill him (and it did)... it could have simply destroyed his career over night.

          Aren't some of the best artists ever known related to drugs? Hard to think of one that was clean.

            That sucks. One big mistake and all of that hard work is now for nothing.

                They actually go to shit when they get clean. Example: Chili Peppers.

                    Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

                        Aerosmith is the best example of a fucking awesome band who blew balls when sober, IMO.

                        Later on, they got some of it back...but we will never see another "Toys" or "Rocks" again.

                        Closing SOON!

                          Music + Drugs = Win

                          Music + Sobriety = Christian Rock

                            Terrible Ted, the Motor City Madman. Livin' the American Dream, baby.

                            Gene Simmons - why do chemicals when the groupies are free?


                            ......But for the most part, yeah - I know what you mean. 2 examples aren't jack.

                            It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.
