They got it where the villains who we cheer for
Cause they murdered all the heroes

from Big KRIT – American Rapstar Lyrics on Rap Genius

Some of the most prominent figures in black history were assassinated. Today, young people in the African-American community look up to rappers, while many of them glorify or glamorize crime (according to Hip-Hop critics), these are the people that our generation saw rise up and overcome their situations. And even some of them ended up getting killed too!
