There are a number of hip hop legends who have died over the years.The Notorious B.I.G., Seagram, and Tupac Shukar are just three legendary rappers and pioneers of the game who have tragically died two decades ago. While there are many conspiracy theories regarding Tupac’s death, the death of the two former rappers are pretty widely agreed upon. 

In addition, there have also been up and coming artists today who have left the Earth too soon. Some of these rappers include 20-year-old XXXTentacion, 20-year-old Pop Smoke, 21-year-old Lil Peep, and 21-year-old Juice Wrld. While they are no longer with us, their music and talents will continue to bless the industry, to say the least. 

Furthermore, some other iconic rappers of all-time who have not died, but have been violently attacked or tragically wounded include 50 Cent, A$AP Rocky, and Flavor Flav. 

Swipe through the gallery and learn about more artists in the rap game who’ve had near-death experiences.
