@Stephen atr&ruk 2019 I think is exaggerated. "everyone loves you when you are six feet underground" - John lennon". I have to say that I don't know what people say when he was alive. Maybe nothing. Except in Detroit,i think, maybe...
I met proof in 2001, me and some friends were on a flight from London to NY and proof was with D12 on the same flight as us. It was a week after 9/11 and our flight received a bomb threat mid flight so our flight was diverted to Goose bay in Newfoundland(while being escorted by four F-18s fighter jets🤦♂️). We ended up staying the night there while our plane was being checked for explosives.The airline brought all passengers to a hall in the town to feed us. In that hall, there was a pool table and we ended up playing pool with proof & D12 and drank free beer on the airline all night. Was such a great memory and proof/D12 were really nice guys, crazy to think he was killed over a game of pool 5 years later.
You have something you need to admit, man? You play pool against Proof, you bitterly lose and you decide to end that mans life 5 years later because you lost? Hope you know I'm just joking with you.
Most of the time the good die young. Proof at 32. Mac Dre 34. The list goes on and on. The music industry wouldn’t be the same with those 2. Thizz n Peace
other than him there's Xzibit, Hussein Fatal, Nate Dogg in the few occasions where he raps and doesn't sing, Lil Boosie, Snoop Dogg, Eazy-E, these rappers all have fascinating voices
This is real hip pop. 2pac said it himself Hip pop is not just music, its a lifestyle, a way of living, hip pop is supposed to be about real life struggles and keeping your head up even through dark times. Nowadays you got ppl rapping about who's the fastest or how much fame/money they got..RIP 2pac, biggie, Big L, proof, big pun. ya'll are missed
At the end of the day Proof is arguably the most important person in the history of hip-hop - because he's the man that brought through Eminem's talent, nurtured him, gave him confidence, vouched for him in the early years. Eminem's career all stems from those early years. Obviously Eminem made it big and he then took Proof and D12 along with him. Maybe on some level the roles reversed, with Eminem taking the pole position whereas in childhood it had been Proof. They had a great friendship and changed not only the history of hip hop, music and youth culture. God bless you Proof. I hope your spittin bars with Tupac and Biggie in heaven.
Hey everybody! Still great to see people still viewing this video and leaving comments. Big Proof died 9 years ago today (around this exact time actually). I wonder what he would have done musically if he had survived that day. R.I.P.
TheRohil I remember jamming this after he passed and it was literally this same video, person.....Damn time really fing flies! #NotEvenFunny #Sucks was the best days of Hip-Hop but sad as well. I'm just speaking during that time and Era/year of music was the shit and now everyone just sounds the same or speak about same shit over and over again. I know things come to a end and ERA and what not but I wish I did a lot shit of differently and more behaved like I'm sure most of us on here.
You can’t be an Eminem fan without being a Proof fan. This genius of a man was the only one who could ever out freestyle Em and who Eminem molded himself after and for a good damn reason. His lyrics and style is unmatched in my eyes. RIP Proof 🙏🏼
For real I keep telling people that and they think I'm insane, Proof is a true hip hop artist and was an incredible freestyler who Eminem even said was better than him especially off the top and I listened to their freestyled together and Proof always shut it down Eminem couldn't steal the beat from Proof on a freestyle. Proof was there for Em back when they were teenagers back in the D he was always there for Em and helped him get attention and supported him in the Detroit scene as they grew up and started rapping at the Hip Hop shop on 7 Mile. Proof was Em's best friend, his death crushed and completely devastated Em and almost made him retire for good and he overdosed as well when his pill addiction was at it's worst thankfully he got back in his feet and picked himself when he was down and did Proof proud, he is a big reason for why Em is who he is today
I think this dude stood for realness. Even on this album he colab with real artist. He didnt flood it with em on every track. Himself and pimp c were the last that stood for realness. Since the went rap changed greatly. Long live big proof Long live da pimp
its so much better on this than the track they took it from lol, 50's song melody sounds shit in comparison to how it works with this one, which is amazing
Happy to do so. There are other channels on here, mostly BigProof4Ever absolutely devoted to his work. If you haven't already, check out those channels. The owner is another former member of the Rapbasement/D12 World forums (as I was also).
RIP Proof. 13 years gone, but never forgetten! I hope you're rapping up in the heavens. You were real when it came to these things. We'll see you soon man. 🙏🏻 (1973-2006)
his verses tell of his own tormented life and the hardships he had to go through as a child, but you saw his face and you would never have thought he went through all that, he always seemed so happy. r.i.p big proof 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Many of us are good at hiding and masking it but Proof even said on Kurt Cobaine track, “sometimes I wish for my demise so I can kick it with Bugz”. I think even Bugz mentioned death on a song before. I don’t why us outgoing folks think like that but maybe it’s because we are so strong-spirited, we go through the most.
@@user-uo8ny1kj4c that comment's 6 years ago. Shit was different back then. I don't know what it's like 6 years ago, I was 8. But it's quite certain that music was in a very different. Mumble rap was just starting, of course it's not gonna be popular unlike nowadays. As for gatekeeping, let's be real there are mumble rap fans gate keeping lyrical raps. Same goes for this side. Truth is, no mumble rap fans would be here and no lyrical rap fans would be there. We ain't doing much with gate keeping.
I still remember the day he died. I was watching MTV when they interrupted the programming to announce that Proof had died. At first I was in shock but then I started crying when I found out what happened. I actually own his cd, Searching For Jerry Garcia.

This song destroys me. It's hard for me to cry yet this song tears my soul to the core. Every awful moment I've lived flashes before my eyes. This song should remind us all how we need to help each other instead of pushing each other down. God bless you Big Proof and God forgive me for my sins.
+Pierre Perras in fact I should probably put together a new video in time for Proof's birthday. This is by far my most successful video and I wouldn't have ever imagined getting so many views. Glad so many people have seen it, liked it, commented and hopefully some people will have discovered Proof as a result. Even if that's just one person, that's a great thing!
The crazy thing was Proof knew he was gonna die soon as he hinted it in many of his songs and told a few of his boys. But that's with a great amount of people know their days are numbered. Rest in peace Proof #313
faisal mahmood I am myself, what are you talking about? Is it bad that I miss him? I am myself and I miss him at the same time, I don't follow anyone blindly though some people might think so...He's dead, please man..:/
We should cry for ourselves, because we are in Hell. R.I.P BIG Proof, BIG L, Tupac, Biggie N' All The Toy Soldiers Victims Of This Madness That We Call World
I swear every single time I listen to this song I get goosebumps , r.i.p big prof he is missing, one of the greatest mc's and personalities ever been . thanks for the upload
Can't believe it's his 8th death anniversary today...:'( Rest In Peace Deshaun, we all love you and miss you. We'll never forget you, your legacy is still alive and will always be. You'll always have a place in our hearts :(
I miss him so much he never change even when he was getting money he was always humble and real R.I.P I still think all the fun we all use to have you are gone but your spirit lives on in all of us (another Detroit soldier token way to soon)
A positive anything is better than a negative anything has been something i've been telling myself over and over during hard times since this album dropped. RIP Big Proof.
I am listening this song after 12 years and I still feel love for Proof, tis song makes tears in ly eyes and that is a beautiful feelings i have for him, rest in peace my dear ♥
I still break up in tears listening & seeing this, as a big fan of Proof, this means so much that it's still up for us to watch. RIP dude, you had so much to give❤❤❤
Proof and Em wuz the whole band yo. Everyone good artists, But proof would gone Solo anyway.. Like Em he only needed the. Hype to be heard,,, hashtag economic.
Rip proof😢❤️💯 the older I got the more I started to understand the lyrics an just completely understand what kind of dude he was he was a real one I don’t think he gets enough props on what such a great lyricist he really is I been a em fan since 99 when I first heard hi my name is I was hooked an proof always kept up with em on records he was so dope yo real talk big proof 💯🔥
I miss the old Eminem I think Proof was the reason to the old Eminem After 2008 Eminem's songs were changed alot Proof knew which kinda songs people like/listen But after Proof died, Eminem kinda lost everything He changed, alot, he will never come back what he was... I miss the old Eminem and Proof Like toy soldiers, Karma?
every time that I see or hear proof, i had that feelings of emptiness.. I can feel what eminem miss, he was his homeboy and who know him even only from the songs like me can feel what I feel. Proof rest in peace my man, because you deserve it
After so many years, I come to this tune to reminisce on growing up around 90’s -00’s damn those were the days of my life! I love this music video please! Don’t ever delete it! Great work! Rip proo!
[Verse 1: Proof]
Barely raised by my dysfunctional fam
Here I stand as a dysfunctional man
Quick-tempered, short-fused and pissed at God
Demons pullin' at my soul 'til it's ripped apart
Secret's out, Momma: that fire, I started it
Fuck the fireman logic of the closet by the wire shit
What's positive about a father that bust nuts then wussed up
And a momma that don't show her son enough love?
Shit, that's why I run from my first son
And force these chickenhead bitches to get abortions
I married the Game, my mistress is Fame
My girl packed her clothes, she know I ain't gon' change
Go insane in a world evil as ours
I done shot at houses, people and cars
The deeper the scars, the worse is the history
God, you ain't gotta forgive me, just don't forget me, you hear me? [Chorus: 50 Cent]
Lord, forgive me, for I've sinned
Over and over again just to stay on top
I recall memories filled with sin
Over and over again… and again
[Verse 2: Proof]
And most importantly I'm tryin' to support my seeds
Can't seem to get away from them courtin' fees
Embroidery, on my hood across my heart disorderly
Breakin' in houses of people who ain't got more than me
Accordingly, I move in error
Gotta face the fact though, I can't fool this mirror
Neglected my daughter
And tryin' to blame on how I was brought up
Like I'm a product of this environment, why ain't I shot up?
Got up today like, "Why you let me breathe again?"
And with each breath I feel death is creepin' in
Thinkin' sinners are winners and I'ma finish last
My pen and pad record my life as each minute pass
Passin' minutes, I shook sin and shook drugs
I did right by you, but still you took Bugz
Then caught me in adultery, fought me
For not knowin' through the dark streets
You walked me, talked to me [Chorus: 50 Cent]
Lord, forgive me, for I've sinned
Over and over again just to stay on top
I recall memories filled with sin
Over and over again… and again
[Verse 3: Proof]
It's the risk that's a rush, so rush my wrists into cuffs
It's like a fight for your attention and love
Speakin' of Bugz, give me a hint from above
If he not, you know I wanna be sent when I'm done
Kid out of wedlock so my lady's frontin'
I love Em 'cause he gave me somethin'
A positive anything is better than a negative nothin'
I was on the edge of death, ready to jump in
It's hard when you can't find love anywhere
And just because the reverend listen don't mean he care
Pops on crack with a sufferin' past
I dream in black and white, the world color me bad
Other than sad, painful and stressed
Life is good with the webs that tangle with death
Control the border, control the score
I have sinned amongst men and my soul is yours
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
Lord, forgive me, for I've sinned
Over and over again just to stay on top
I recall memories filled with sin
Over and over again… and again
Lord, forgive me, for I've sinned
Over and over again just to stay on top
I recall memories filled with sin
Over and over again… and again

This song should remind us all how we need to help each other instead of pushing each other down. God bless you Big Proof and God forgive me for my sins.

Over 2 million views. Incredible!
+Skatersi Wow, you stil are on this channel after 8 years.
+Pierre Perras of course, this is my channel! I've started replying more recently than I ever did previously!
+Pierre Perras in fact I should probably put together a new video in time for Proof's birthday. This is by far my most successful video and I wouldn't have ever imagined getting so many views. Glad so many people have seen it, liked it, commented and hopefully some people will have discovered Proof as a result. Even if that's just one person, that's a great thing!
Skatersi Well, that's cool, you made me discover proof, it's not my favorite style but it's really good.
+Pierre Perras excellent, well that's one good story out of this video! Thanks for posting!
BIG PROOF FOREVER! What's up everybody?
one of the most heart-touchin' lyrics not to be emotional.. let you keep thinkin. anyway such a legend for our culture. R.I.P Proof
Rip Proof. Man, He had such a bright career ahead of him. I pray for the day of peace, so we stop losing people way to young.
The crazy thing was Proof knew he was gonna die soon as he hinted it in many of his songs and told a few of his boys. But that's with a great amount of people know their days are numbered. Rest in peace Proof #313
Like, "Im in the club to beef you gotta murder me there"?
+Skillty hell yeah n other tracks like Kurt Cobain where he raps about death
Ave Stamp lol are you stupid ? Every single rap artist on the planet have said once this type of Line ..even LL COOL J and he stil alive 😅
i was so shocked as i heared the lyrics on his last album..and then he died...that was really strange
Atthe end of kurtkobain he said "love killed me" mad creepy then he gets killed sounds interesting.
Shit, 8 years ago today.
Exactly...We miss Proof :(

So what? I find him a lovely figure and a great rapper.
faisal mahmood
I am myself, what are you talking about? Is it bad that I miss him? I am myself and I miss him at the same time, I don't follow anyone blindly though some people might think so...He's dead, please man..:/
faisal mahmood really gotta pick at shit someone said on the internet about someone they are a fan of? maaaaan dudes LOVE to hate huh? smh
mke12000. I ain't hating just saying
I like the fact that Proof talks about "breaking into houses" when it's about getting into minds :)

Proof was never jealous of Em.. He supported him fully. Em hasn't been the same since he died. Rip Proof!
“You ain’t gotta forgive me just don’t forget me”

A positive anything is better than a negative anything has been something i've been telling myself over and over during hard times since this album dropped. RIP Big Proof.

Still bumping this in 2018! R.I.P Proof, this shit is sad
I still break up in tears listening & seeing this, as a big fan of Proof, this means so much that it's still up for us to watch.
RIP dude, you had so much to give❤❤❤
Proof has an awesome flow, underrated for sure
Proof and eminem was what made D12 strong
R.I.P Proof ;( I miss you, fan of you D12 and Eminem forever!
Proof and Em wuz the whole band yo. Everyone good artists, But proof would gone Solo anyway.. Like Em he only needed the. Hype to be heard,,, hashtag economic.
Rip proof😢❤️💯 the older I got the more I started to understand the lyrics an just completely understand what kind of dude he was he was a real one I don’t think he gets enough props on what such a great lyricist he really is I been a em fan since 99 when I first heard hi my name is I was hooked an proof always kept up with em on records he was so dope yo real talk big proof 💯🔥
Life is precious and his was cut to short. So much talent and we will never get to watch him grow in the game and reach his potential. RIP
We still miss him in 9th January 2015 your never over
I miss the old Eminem
I think Proof was the reason to the old Eminem
After 2008 Eminem's songs were changed alot
Proof knew which kinda songs people like/listen
But after Proof died, Eminem kinda lost everything
He changed, alot, he will never come back what he was...
I miss the old Eminem and Proof
Like toy soldiers, Karma?
Not Karma, Foreshadowing...
Yeah but when Eminem made the song in 2007 "like toy soldiers" where proof died in the music video, 1 year later proof died
r4ch ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ Yeah, that's foreshadowing. Now if proof shot someone in a club one year before THEN that would be Karma
+r4ch he made that back in '04 2005ish, Proof died in April of '06
He's back in the game now
Hello from Belarus. Proof is also remembered here. I hope he's in rap heaven...
the mentor to the greatest lyricist of all time
🎉
Rip proof❤️what a great video congrats man! Bought a shivver down my spine one of my favourite vids of all time❤️‼️👾
Thanks!
Proof have amazing voice.... Respect forever... R.I.P.
every time that I see or hear proof, i had that feelings of emptiness.. I can feel what eminem miss, he was his homeboy and who know him even only from the songs like me can feel what I feel. Proof rest in peace my man, because you deserve it
Today if not no other day. I remember you Big Proof. Rest in Power.
9 years today. RIP BIG PROOF!!!
