Notice the rappers are getting older as the list becomes more recent. The last two are rappers in their 30s. It's a shame. I guess that statistic that says the average black man is lucky to make it past 25 years old. 238Maybe it's because having a big mouth, a big gun, and big balls are a deadly combination.
R.I.P.
P.S.
I thought U.N.L.V. was an R&B group -

I really did not expect that my thread would lead to argument.
Anyway, killed or murdered, or whatever.
Let us just make this as a tribute page to all the rappers who already passed away.
May their souls be in peace. -

Man, I just heard that Big Hawk from Houston was shot and killed, he was part of group with the late great DJ Screw. Like my man Method Man said on Def Jam: Fight For NY. "This has gone way too far, This beep is getting out a hand"

D-Boy 1967-1990
Danny Rodriguez also known as D-Boy died on October 6 of 1990 at the age of 22. He was born on November 10, 1967. His parents Cookie and Demi Rodriguez were involved in an anti-gang violence program in Dallas, Texas. From Portorican descent this gifted MC rapped about gang life, but also about his faith in God. He was a counselor and tutor at Street Church Acadamy, the ministry his parents started for teens.
He was murdered close to his home. Excerpt from Contemporary Christian Music, nr. 5, (volume 13) 1990.
D-Boy [] was shot once in the chest near his East Dallas appartment complex just before 4 A.M., presumably he was returning from a date. It was not known for certain whether he was actually in his car at the time, although after he was shot he managed to drive a few blocks before striking a curb, hitting a pole and fliiping over twice. [] he died about an hour after the shooting during surgery at baylor University Medical Center as doctors attempted to remove the bullet.
No suspects were apprehended for this crime. His producer Tim Miner remembers in the same article that friends encouraged Danny to move to a safer part of town. Danny's reaction was " I don't think I'll grow an old man". As if he knew what was ahead of him. His second album "The lyrical strength of one street poet" was completed a week before his death and scheduled to be released in November 1990. D-Boy is remembered as a man of God in his actions and relelationships and a hip hop talent, that sadly enough never realised it's full potential.
Tribute album
Although many times D-Boy is mentioned in the credits of holy hip hop albums as an inspiration and example. It was until March 2006 that a tribute album was released. The record is called The Fallen Soldier Compilation : A Tribute To D-Boy and features artists like: Dynamic Twins, IDOL King, Fred Lynch from P.I.D., Lingo, Heata and others. -
