RIP Pop Smoke. DJ Craftmatic & Paulie Dubz discuss the death of Pop Smoke, which is the latest example of a young hip hop artist dying before they even hit their prime. A study done a few years ago said that 51% of rappers have died of murder. Why does this infect hip hop and not other genres? Also at age 20, Pop Smoke becomes the latest rapper to die before the age of 26, joining a long line of rappers dying young including Juice WRLD, Mac Miller, xxxtentacion, Capital Steez, Lil Peep amongst others.
