You'r nobody Till Somebody Kill You

Is this true? Why or why not?

IMO, not true cuz many, many people are murdered every day, and we hear about only a fraction of them, tops.

Perhaps it would be better stated as "You're nobody til somebody kills you...provided you're young, female, pretty and white."

A dead woman can´t give you sex(usually.... 😂 as nothing is so certain these days) , so they are still nobody.

Key aspects of being somebody if you're killed:

- Being rich, or coming from a rich family.

- It happens in a bizarre and unusual way.

- You may have done something notable in your life.

- Slow news night.

Can you gain a career from being killed?

That's like asking if you can get a ride if you already walked the trip.

Has Bill Gates been murdered? 😐

Only if you come back to life...heck, they can start a whole new religion based on you.

People say Pac and Biggie were the best rappers EVER!--but that was only after they got shot.

Were they good?--very.

The Best?--no.

Its only true if you were at least slightly famous in the first place.

I was referring to these two...

Not Nobody, you can be very famous, but being killed can certainly enhance your fame...or at least the "cult" around you (but only if you were famous to begin with). And it's not necessarily being killed by someone else...take Kurt Cobain, or Ernest Hemingway for example.

Him too.

That whole concept only exists in violent cultures.

Rap is a pretty violent and discriminating culture. It's easier in this field to like someone when they are DEAD, rather then when they are alive.

So yes, maybe so "Inspectah"

Fame is but so long... in 50 years ppl will say... what's a 2pac?
