Hip Hop has seen its fair share of tragedies. The untimely deaths of several prominent rappers have created a void in the music industry and in the hearts of fans worldwide. Whether it was by a drug overdose, fatal shooting or just being at the wrong place at the wrong time, these artists were taken way too soon — often at the height of their careers. The passing of Nipsey Hussle, Mac Miller and Young Dolph not only signified a loss of talent but also highlighted the often-harsh realities and challenges entertainers face in the industry and in their personal lives.
