Just found out Father Shaheed from Poor Righteous Teachers died from a motorcycle accident. Also Kevlaar 7 from the Wisemen passed away earlier this year.
EDIT: Wow, I didn't know Big Kap died, rest in peace to him as well, I always bump that song "Da Ladies In The House" that he put together.
You can click the respective words at the top to sort by names, dates, or causes.
I'm at the point now where I probably need a fresh set of eyes, so any additions and / or corrections are welcome.

This is incredible work. Please check your PMs.

Houston Rapper Mr. 3-2 Shot and Killed (The Convicts, Southside Playaz and Blac Monks)
Are you kidding me? GovnaMattic and Mr. 3-2 are dead??
Its official, all my favorite MC's are dying, this fuckin sucks. "Hell Up In Newark" from GovnaMattic is definitely one of my favorite albums of all time, and "Wicked Buddah Baby" by 3-2 is up there as well. Rest in Peace to both of these guys.
Also, Rest in peace to Couzin Steve, a really dope MC out of Netherlands who recently passed away due to cancer, he gave us the classic track "Movin On"

Rest in peace to Chyskillz, the man who helped produce Onyx first album. I heard he just passed away from a heart attack. I always liked this beat he did for Shaq:
