“I didn’t choose the thug life, the thug life chose me.”
In the last few years, several young rappers the world over have lost their lives to overdose or violent crime. Hip hop has a higher rate of homicide than any other genre of music, ranging from five to 32 times higher.
But, until now, Indian fans of hip-hop have only read about these deaths by misadventure. The killing of popular rapper Sidhu Moose Wala on Sunday, 29 May, now links India to this circle.
And like many rappers that Moose Wala emulated, his lyrics talked about death, guns. Prophetically, his last song ‘The Last Ride” featured an image from the crime scene of his idol the slain rapper Tupac Shakur’s assassination. Shakur was also shot and killed sitting in the front right-hand seat of the car. Listening to the lyrics, you can’t help wonder whether he had a death wish.
