Toledo Tales

(Toledo, OH) Local bowling afficianado Nathan "Nappy" Jazubowski was surprised to hear that rapper Proof, who was Eminem's best friend and a member of the hip-hop combo D12, was shot dead in the early hours of yesterday morning in a nightclub along Detroit's emblematic Eight Mile Road.

"Whoa - that's pretty freaky," said a morose, and possibly stoned, Jazubowski. "Did you see him in that video? BAM! Just like real life, except when I come down it's real and not like a movie and he's really dead. Did you see where I put my toke stone?"

Proof, whose real name was DeShaun Holton, got into an argument at the CCC nightclub on 8 Mile Road which escalated into gunshots, according to Detroit police. Jazubowski said that he felt like he had "lost a brother."

"Eminem and D12's music got to me in a way few artists did," said Jazubowski, lighting up a Blunt. "Well, maybe the 80s band Winger, too, but Proof was definitely da sha-zizzle."

As a tribute Jazubowski will play the "8 Mile" disc 00 consecutive times.

"At least, I will try to play it 100 times," he said. "Once I get baked, counting kinda goes out the window. I may quit after about 4 times through if a decent show is on, like, TLC or something. Are you going to eat those Doritos?" Mary+winkler immigration rally
