Is being a Rapper one of the most Dangerous Occupations to Have?

Tupac Shakur and Notorious BIG were Rap music’s biggest stars in the nineties. They were both murdered around six months of each other in 1996 and 1997. The murders to date remain unsolved. Other rappers such as Nipsey Hussle and DJ Jam Master Jay were also victims of homicides whose killers were arrested. There are also countless other rappers who never achieved major success but had semi-successful careers who were also victims of murder. Most of these victims are young black men. But it seems that rappers of other racial backgrounds are also becoming victims of homicide. Swedish rapper Einar was murdered in 2021 and now Punjabi (Indian) rapper Sidhu Moose has succumbed to an ambush where he was shot to death in India.

When rap music came out, it was party music with good rhymes and beats. Then Gangsta rap emerged in the late 80’s and it told the dangerous, bloody reality of survival in the inner city. It was considered art because it was expression but that has resulted in deadly actions over the years including that of a near fatal shooting of rapper/actor 50cent.

Now it is sadly the norm that rappers here in America and abroad are being murdered as well as murdering their musical rivals. It seems like one non-stop loop with all this killing and one has to wonder if this violent diss track will ever end.

UPDATE 6-21-2022: Three men have been arrested for the murder of Sidhu Moose. It is alleged that Canadian Gang Member Goldy Brar arranged the fatal hit on the rapper.

Rare USA Coins worth in the Millions…

The elusive and rare 1974 Aluminum Penny

Do you have Lincoln one cent piece dated 1974 made out of aluminum? OR maybe a 1964D Liberty Silver Dollar? These coins that have folklore around them that suggest that one time they were minted only to be melted before going out into circulation. At one time the US mint considered the price of copper too costly for a one cent piece and had considered aluminum as a possible metal replacement. Eventually, the pennies in 1982 would be minted out of primarily zince. Several of these Lincoln aluminum test pieces were allegedly given to US congressman and other Washington bureaucrats as an example and it is believed that several of these people never returned the coins to the mint. In the following decades, a few have been found and verified as real coins.

There is also the legend of the Liberty Silver Dollar dated 1964 and made in the Denver mint. The coins were originally minted from 1922 to 1935. According to reports, thousands may have been struck only to be melted down when a decision was made not to send millions of the revamped Liberty Dollar back into the American circulation.

If one has either of these coins, they are estimated to be worth in the millions of dollars. However, there is a problem in that the US government will seize the coins from any private owner because they are not officially released currency and therefore the property of the United States Government.

Oh, well, you can always hope that you have some of these other rare coins listed here such as the 1913 Liberty Head Nickels, a rare flowing hair large cent or an 1804 Silver dollar.
