Being a rapper and getting shot or being jailed has been the way since the beginning. 2pac was shot dead and so are many other rappers.

It could be about the life they live and the violent songs they sing, or the violent community they live in.

From Nipsey Hussle to Pop smoke to King Von, the violence keeps rising.

Rapper Fabulous took to his Instagram story to air his thoughts as he says being a rapper is the most dangerous job in America.

He said “Being a rapper has become the most dangerous job in America. Black men are surviving the trenches, constant battles in a warzone environment, make something of themselves as artists, become famous, make millions of dollars, change their lifestyles, and still end up dead or in jail.”
