    Proof had single-handedly squashed almost every beef people had with Eminem and vice versa. Especially the one with Juggalos and ICP. They actually had a bowling party. Everyone loved Proof. Dude had such a big heart, it's too bad he was taken too soon. Rip Proof ❤️

      weedman513 Br, the nigga was never underrated. He was among a whole bunch of wack rappers that tried to get the million-dollar rap lottery ticket after rap became universal after Eminem's success. What the fuck is "Jimmy Iovine time"? How can a grown man praise another man like that? It's like when Prodigy asked, 'What the fuck is 'Mood Music'?" You done know a rapper is wack when he has to resort to name checking his boss's boss's boss.

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. We ended up staying the night there and the airline brought all passengers to a hall to feed us. In the hall there was a pool table and we played pool with D12 and drank free beer on the airline. Was such a great memory and D12/proof were really nice guys, crazy to think he died over a pool game 5 years later.

    Proof was more like a glue that attached all the D12 members. Proof's death was a real disaster in em's life and career. We rarely got to see the Slim Shady persona from then. Mostly we were seeing the actual Marshall Mathers persona. RIP Proof. 😢
