Are you kidding? Most male rap artists cultivate a thug persona and love to talk shit about women, crime and the hard life. An aura of criminality is their bread and butter (and for some, 100% true). How on earth can you expect them to die of old age?!?

Gee, another rapper shot. Next up, Pope is Catholic and a bear shits in the woods…

Sad, certainly. But surprising? Nope.
