D12 MEMBER PROOF DIES


The longtime Eminem friend and collaborator was shot and killed last night at a club on Eight Mile. Proof was an interesting guy: Though he'll probably always be associated with Eminem—he appeared on the Anger Management tour, had a cameo in 8 Mile, and was the best man at Em's wedding (not sure which one)—he had a pretty solid solo career of his own, and last year released Searching for Jerry Garcia, probably the only hip-hop album ever inspired by the Grateful Dead (Proof was a huge fan). He was 30 years old.
