Eminem lost a best friend and rap lost a great entertainer on this day in 2006 when rapper Proof of D12 was shot and killed at a Detroit club at the age of 32.
Proof, real name DeShaun Dupree Holton will always be remembered as being instrumental in forming D12 as well as a great freestyle battle rapper, having particpated in numerous competitions in Detroit and the Blaze battle.
Eminem says his friend was the best freestyle rapper he's ever seen.
"Everything back then was all about battling if you wanted to make a name for yourself," Eminem told Red Bull a few months ago talking about the Detroit battle scene he and Proof came up in. "There were battles every couple of months where anybody trying to make a name for themselves would come out.
I don't know who the greatest freestyler in the world is today, but I know that the greatest freestyler I've ever seen in my life is Proof," Eminem continued. "He might use one line in a sixty second battle that was something that he had that was premeditated, but everything else would be spontaneous. I've never seen anybody be able to have that kind of gift and ability to do that."
Proof's mom Pepper Holton, formed The Proof Foundation to keep his name and memory alive. Tonight they will hold a candlelight vigil and tribute at the Shelter in Detroit.

The real "Freeway" Rick Ross is taking Officer Ross aka William Roberts II to court for a second time.
While Ross was incarcerated, Roberts used his name and fake cocaine tales to gain fame. Basically Roberts is rapping about the life that Ross actually lived and served time for.
Ross sued Roberts, Jay-Z, Def Jam Records and Universal Music Group in federal court for trademark violations, unfair competition and misappropriation of his publicity rights.
Ross lost that case, but now has new legal representation in law firm Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP. This time Ross' team will sue on a state level.
“We always knew our case was stronger in the state than it was in the feds,” Ross told BET. “California state law really protects people with their names and their likenesses. So we knew that was stronger inside California than it was in the feds, but we wanted to go the big route first then work our way down.”
Ross regrets his previous life as a drug dealer. He feels like Roberts message is wrong for kids.
“We’re both teaching two different messages," Ross said "He’s teaching my old life: sell drugs, disrespect women, all the things that really have our country in shambles. I’m teaching uplifting values, education, literacy. He’s teaching illiteracy,"
Ross presents his case in court on May 2.

Blind Fury and Moon have both spit some incredible bars on their way to the finals, but there can only be one winner.
Check it out below.
Drummer ?uestlove of the Philadelphia rap band The Roots took to his twitter page to talk about actress Ashley Judd's negative comments regarding rap music.
Judd wrote in her new memoir 'All That Is Bitter and Sweet' that rap is "rape culture."
Here is a portion of Judd's thoughts about rap as written in her book
"Along with other performers, YouthAIDS was supported by rap and hip-hop artists like Snoop Dogg and P. Diddy to spread the message...um, who? Those names were a red flag. As far as I'm concerned, most rap and hip-hop music -- with it's rape culture and insanely abusive lyrics and depictions of girls and women as 'ho's' -- is the contemporary soundtrack of misogyny. I believe that the social construction of gender -- the cultural beliefs and practices that divide the sexes and institutionalize and normalize the unequal treatment of girls and women, privilege the interests of boys and men, and, most nefariously, incessantly sexualize girls and women -- is the root cause of poverty and suffering around the world."
"What I'm being accused of is condemning rap and hip-hop as a whole, and the whole community and when they say community, they mean the fans, and African-Americans, it's become so generalized. My intention was to take a stand to say the elements that are misogynistic and treat girls and women in a hyper-sexualized way are inappropriate."

Fresh off of a three year bid, Prodigy of Mobb Deep is putting in lots of studio time. Thus far we've seen a P solo collaboration with Jim Jones and Lloyd Banks, as well as a Mobb Deep joint with Nas.
The most surprising and out of left field collaboration may be yet to come.
Prodigy reached out to Officer Rick Ross on Twitter and seemed to close a deal for the Queens rapper to join forces with Ross on a track.
Check out the exchange between Ross and P below
Prodigy: @rickyrozay...wuts good g'z? We fuck wit u ...we gotta serve em sum BLACKCOCAINE !!!
Ross: @PRODIGYMOBBDEEP done deal..
Prodigy: @PRODIGYMOBBDEEP <<<<<< cant wait to hear that Colabo >>>>>>>>.@rickyrozay Mr. Miami.
Obviously It's a known fact that 50 Cent and Ross engaged in a well known beef recently. With Mobb Deep's close association with G-Unit, one would wonder why P would reach out to the former correctional officer.
The Unit has squashed previous beefs with The Lox and Cam'Ron, but there has been no sign at all that their beef with Ross' camp is over.
What do you think of Prodigy reaching out to Officer Ross?
