Complex Magazine has a great cover story this month on Eminem and Obie Trice. Rereading the interview after Proof's death makes it eerie because they dive into what happened with Obie's own shooting and Em's frantic reaction to it.
Also, the Eminem portion of the interview gives me the feeling that he's done for good, whether he knows it or not. For instance, he already talks about being "half retired" and he's still concerned about the safety of his family and entourage, as he showed in the "Like Toy Soldiers" video. With Proof now gone, I can imagine Marshall will step out of the limelight for good.
Also, according to his own admission, he's gained a bunch of weight, a sure sign that a pop star is about to take a break.
I wish the best for Em. He's one of my top 5, dead or alive, no matter what MTV says. And props to Complex for landing that tragically timely interview.
Em looks like he needs to go to rehab
ITZ so sad dat rap music always take blame for gun violence while manufactures of GUNS take none of that blame. errthing bad is related to the black man. whiles its all good when it comes to white ppl.
How i wish the world is FAIR!!!!
Eminem also goes in my top 5 dead or alive. What happen to Proof is jus crazy. Out der in the Mile people have mad beef. Proof and D12 all those dudes know many men want dem dead out der I dont know why they go. I know you cant be a punk or puzzy but your life is your life. You make money to move out the hood not stay der. Look at Jay-Z and 50. You can do concerts and shit and visit some fams but damn clubbin' out in the open. Nucchaz are hungry and they got money to feed them you heard. Damn down to Bruce Lee was tested on the streets to see if he can really kick a dudes ass in 60 seconds or less. Streets is watching so know your surroundings. Obie needs to go to LA and relax.
Eminem looks like a f---in' doll. he looks BAD. The photo looks cheap, too.
My n---- Obie Trice's album looks like it's gonna be straight heat.
EMINEM HAS KILLED THE COMPETITION, HE IS THE BEST LYRCIST, ONE OF THE FEW WHO CAN FILL UP STADIUMS AND ARENAS AND HAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAN BASES. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT THAT HE IS # 1.
THE NEW OBIE ALBUM IS INSANE YALL WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT. R.I.P PROOF
GOD BLESS.
SHADYVILLE
Dat new BG is fuckin garbage.MOVE AROUND is the only good cut.HE needs to stick with the HERO.
PUT THE GUNZ DOWN AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN BLACK FOLK
Folks are gonna be mad when they find out the Proof may have started the situation and fired the first shot, not knowin that duke's cousin was a bouncer at the club and was packin his own heat.
i knew em was gonna lay off for good now cause proof but damn proof was actin a fool at the club when the whole murder thing happen all this time i was thinkin proof was just bein hatin on so and then he got shot but on allhiphop rumurs today there reporting that proof was actin all big headed and he started the whole gun fight thing the victem proof show is now on life support a r.i.p proof even though he propably was in the wrong too

there needs to be a new D-12 set but
who knows I honestly feel that shady
& mainly em needs to do a mixtape like
a huge 3cd set & if they don't stop
fuckin over stat quo im a hurt someone!
As for ems drug problems shit I like
drugs I like pills I like lean aint
nothin wrong with gettin loaded but
when you become addicted thats another
thang vicodin makes ya kidney hurt it
aint no fun at all!!!
EM NEEDS TO CHANGE HIS FAT INTO MUSCLES.
AND HIS MONEY INTO SECURITY.
AND HIS SKILLS ON THE MIC INTO A
ONCE AGAIN MONEY MACHINE.
eminem is in the top three that ever lived in my eyes, 1.2pac 2.biggie 3.eminem.i think eminem will be very sad dat proof iz gone but he's gone to a better place now he iz there with pac, biggie, big L, B PUN and so on..... i think proof was a funny man and a great rapper he was gettin der and someone took it away from him. lets hope dat gun violence stops some day LETS HOPE. (R.I.P PROOF)I WILL MISS U
I have that months Mag already, and the interview was wack...Now i dont HATE em but i think he's way overrated. He's not top 10 dead or alive and only made ONE classic album. Black folk dont relate to all his crazy white boy kill and rape his moms shit. Yes he has flow but talks about NOTHING !! He's looks like the Male Lil KIM. NIgga face is all fucked up. OBie is nice, I'll give him that but Em needs to step his Game up cause it streets are not feeling him. And when your Street Cred is gone, your finish. All respect is Gone.

NIGGA YOU IZ RETARDED SHUT THE FUCK UP EM MAY BE WHITE BUT THAT MUTHA FUCKER CAN SPIT FIRE
fuck you guys give me my 15 minutes back rap shit is not hiphop hip hop was creared for bringing peace thro music buck..buck kill em all em said words r mother fucker you beefin you got no security thats clownin shit u goin six foot under like big proof and if you aint saved you meet the devil that day thats all to life
I heard that bloodmoney is the shit
it comes out may 2nd yall need to cop that shit i know i will
the club was open after it should have been closed. that fuckin club! if they did what they supposed to, shit may have been different.niggas might have went their seperate ways that night.plus that wasn't the first time someone's been killed there. close that bitch down.
There's no reason for EM to continue on in the game as an MC. He's proven himself to be one of the best lyricists that ever touched a mic.
Like I said before, if you listen to each and every one of eminem's words in his bars, what the dude does is fucking brilliant.
He's sold a ridiculous amount of records and now it's time to fall back.
Maybe now you stupid fucks will stop saying he is the best rapper ever!@!
Eminem is NOT the best to do it.
Stop being little bitches who fight about if Eminem is the best MC or not and just read the damn article. Nobody will ever agree with you on him being the best or not.
Em might not be the best but he is damn near it and should be in all conversations when talking about the best. Obie's first album was real hot and I hope to say the same about the second. Maybe Proof getting killed will light a fire under Em's ass and make him hungry again. I can only hope.
eminem is not the best, he was good, now he sucks. He's white trailer trash right now!!!
I AM A HOMOSEXUAL DON, I AM THE LEADER OF THE PINK MAFIA.
ofcourse i'll except you ... i'll also accept your dick in my poop shoot
I don't think Em is top 5 dead or alive. I think the top 5 is Biggie and Pac, Rakim, Jay-Z and Nas, and then everybody else...anyone agree?? Em is famous because he's a white rapper who can actually make some decent songs. If he wasn't white, he wouldn't be where he's at. Yeah, he's lyrical, but he doesn't really have any appeal except to them hoodrat and white trash girls that like a white boy who kick it with a Black squad. He ain't Top 5 dead or alive. And plus, you're only as good as your last album. And his last album was garbage. Just cause he made one or two good albums doesn't mean he's dope. Having a whole set of dope albums like Nas, Biggie, Jay and Pac means that your dope.
Em AINT IN THE TOP FIVE SO QUIT PLAYIN!
I AM A HOMOSEXUAL DON, I AM THE LEADER OF THE PINK MAFIA.

proof shot in self defense. people are now saying bender pulled out a gun, proof pulled his, shot first, then got shot from behind. then they got up the guy who proof shot's gun and ran.
Dude, Eminem went to a trainer to lose weight a while ago. Proof's death is quite possibly a sign that eminem will keep making music in honor of Proof. and he has new material with the whole Divorce thing.
ye i agree totally, eminem wil carry on wit music trust me becoz of his divorce, divorce settlement for £30mill, WOW, and his best friend, member of his d12 and best man has jus died i hope to see a rebirth of eminem's marshall mathers lp, bak 2 how he was and also d12 were working on their album "the ambition" tink tht will hav a big influence on em's career and what he carry rely produce x.

It's all fun and fuckin games till somebody get's hurt. Here we are saying it's a shame about Proof. And while it is sad Proof has a history of being an asshole to people. It has been reported that dude got into 3 incidnets all in the same club that night.
We say how when your a celeb you gotta get out of the hood and stay out the hood but you are the same muthafuckas that'll say a rapper is a punk if he can't go back to his hood. Or if he got security with him. We crack jokes on niggas with security. Rappers use it in there diss records when another rapper has security. And again it's all fun and games until somebody get's hurt.
I gotta keep it real cuz you niggaz is buggin'. Em is definitely in the top 5 as far being lyrical would go. The truth is niggaz prop up Pac cause he stood for something, but dude wasn't that lyrical. Out of any MC's on anybody's top 10 list, Pac would not be able to fuck with anyone of them in a battle. I mean really if it was one crowd, one stage and two mics, Pac had one mic and let's say Ras Kas had the other mic. Who would win? Ras of course but no one has him on there top 10. Em (I hate to say) would crush everybody on top 10 lists in a battle and at the same time can write good songs. That's rare. Very rare!
Like I said, Eminem looks gay in that photo. He looks too pretty.
But still, he is my favorite MC, period. Ain't no one else in hip hop like him. Eminem stands out...I like people who stand apart from the rest. He didn't rap about ignorant dumb s--- like bling, cars, big houses, big booty (until recently). Eminem is my n---- for life, no doubt. The MARSHALL MATHERS LP is insane...I'm still pumpin' it after six years. Plus, Eminem is so fine.
As for Obie, that n----'s nice too. I copped CHEERS...I wanna hear more from this dude. His lyrics are excellent. Obie look sexy too. It is too bad that he is getting overshadowed by them G Unit hoes. They need to die.
Stat Quo? Where is he? Don't think I forgot about him.
