Proof’s funeral was telling and mournful, a sign of the times
by Khary Kimani TurnerThe recent funeral services for slain rap artist Deshaun “Proof” Holton had the feel of a hero’s farewell. That is until Proof’s family arrived.
As soon as Proof’s mother Sherallene entered the educational license adobe indesign cs4 2,000-seat Fellowship Chapel in Detroit, she eyed the gold casket that educational license adobe indesign cs4 contained her son’s body and educational license adobe indesign cs4 released a loud cry of hurt that echoed through the chamber, and educational license adobe indesign cs4 through all of our hearts. She had to be helped to educational license adobe indesign cs4 his pall and, from there, to the pews reserved for family members.
The sanctuary then quickly filled to capacity with people who’d lined up early in the educational license adobe indesign cs4 morning to pay their respects. Hundreds were turned away. One-time Proof foes, such as rapper Champtown, showed. Larger hip-hop luminaries — Eminem and D12, 50 Cent and G-Unit, Obie Trice, Dr. Dre, Xzibit, Ras Kass, Naughty By Nature — arrived in somber force, as did execs from industry juggernaut Interscope Records. But very little stargazing took place. It was too painful.
Proof was shot to educational license adobe indesign cs4 death during an argument early Tuesday, April 11, at C.C.C., an educational license adobe indesign cs4 8 Mile after-hours club. In the fracas, Proof first shot 35-year-old Keith Bender Jr., who educational license adobe indesign cs4 died a week later at a Detroit hospital.
As funerals go — and there seem to be many lately — things flowed accordingly until Shady Records recording artist Obie Trice spoke his piece. He got up and educational license adobe indesign cs4 pleaded for black men to put an end to the violence.
“I’m hard,” he said, mocking the educational license adobe indesign cs4 tough exterior of many inner-city young men, himself included. “We know you educational license adobe indesign cs4 hard. We know you from the hood. If you from educational license adobe indesign cs4 Detroit, you from the hood. Detroit is the hood. C’mon, I love y’all, dawg!” Considering that a bullet remains lodged in Trice’s head from a New Year’s Eve attempt on his life by an educational license adobe indesign cs4 unidentified gunman, the words resonated hard, and drew cheers from the educational license adobe indesign cs4 congregation.
