I think I will actually have a little respect for the rapper who finally chokes to death on his own vomit, rather than getting shot outside a nightclub by a rival gangsta. Much more dignified rock and roll type death.
Rappers seem to always be going on about guns and conflict, so getting capped outside a club almost validates your work. Whereas being a codeine junkie is just ironic after all the talk about hustling dope imo.
