R.I.P Big Proof
I Miss Him ): ..Proof 4 ever in my heart !
!
Thank you 4 wasting ur time 2 see this vid :) !
Early career
Although Proof first rose to national prominence as a part of the rap group D12 (a group which he was instrumental in the forming of), he had achieved a degree of success prior. Most notably, he was featured in The Source's Unsigned Hype column in 1999 and came close to winning the 1998 Blaze Battle. His first television appearance can be seen in the Aaliyah video "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number". In 2000, Proof toured along with Eminem, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg in the Up In Smoke Tour as a hype man rapper for Eminem. He rose to prominence in 2001 with the release of Devil's Night, D12's debut album with Interscope Records
Solo work
Proof released a solo effort featuring collaborations with Eminem, 50 Cent, Method Man, Nate Dogg, B-Real of Cypress Hill, T3 of Slum Village, Obie Trice, Royce Da 5'9" and other members of D12 on his own Iron Fist Records label in conjunction with Alliance Entertainment's IDN Distribution. Proof said that he did not produce the record with Shady Records or Aftermath because he wanted to "build his own thing". Many of his "catchy" beats, like "Many Men", can be seen in other rappers songs. Called Searching for Jerry Garcia, the album was released on August 9, 2005 on his own Iron Fist Records label 10 years to the day following Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia's death.[4] This release did not make a significant impact on the charts despite its list of guest appearances and Proof's well known lyrical flow.

Originally, every song title on the album was to be named after a celebrity. "Jump Biatch" was originally titled "Eric Clapton Jr." (Proof changed the title when he realized that Eric Clapton's son fell to his death from a 53rd-story window.[5]) Another song presumably meant for the album was "Neil Armstrong", which can be found on Proof's mixtape "I Miss The Hip Hop Shop".

Proof has said that he considered Jerry Garcia to be a "genius" who suffered from character flaws that are indicative of all people

Death
On April 11 2006, Proof was killed by a gunshot wound to the head at the CCC Club by club bouncer Mario Etheridge on 8 Mile Road in Detroit, Michigan after fatally shooting U.S. military veteran Keith Bender, Jr
