Anniversary of Proof's passing April 11, 2006.

RIP Proof 🤍 🕊

[aaliyahunleashed]

DeShaun Dupree Holton (October 2, 1973 – April 11, 2006) professionally known as Proof and also known as Big Proof and Dirty Harry.

His first television appearance was in the video for Aaliyah’s “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number.” It was filmed in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan in November 1994, the black and white visual featured cameos of Proof alongside Bizarre from D12 and Aaliyah’s brother (Rashad).

Holton first rose to national prominence when he formed D12 "The Dirty Dozen" in 1995 with his friends Eminem, Bizarre, Mr. Porter, and a high school friend Eye-Kyu. Shortly after that, Proof recruited two friends, B-Flat & Dirty Ratt, to the group.

Proof released a solo album (Called "Searching for Jerry Garcia" in August 2005) featuring collaborations with 50 Cent, Method Man, Nate Dogg, B-Real of Cypress Hill, T3 of Slum Village, Obie Trice, King Gordy, Eminem and D12. Proof said that he did not produce the record with Shady Records or Aftermath because he wanted to "build his own thing"

Sadly, on April 11, 2006, Proof was shot and killed after a heated argument during a game of billiards at the CCC Club on 8 Mile Road in Detroit.

Did this publicity photo shoot for @eminem while he was doing the video for “Without Me” I did about 5 shoots with Him and directed 1 video for him for @d12 “I’ll Shit on you” which at that time didn’t get a lot of play because of the name of it. He’s cool to work with, always had fun. The anger management tour was a lot fun . #RipProof #eminem #estevanoriol #blackandwhitephoto #losangelesphotographer #shadyrecords #slimshady #pentax67 #trix400film #D12 #illshitonyou #withoutme

Couldn't let this go by. A #20thanniversary salute to the best #hiphop album of the 2000s, Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP. A Hip-Hop classic in every way and one of my favorite albums ever. #eminem #slimshady #marshallmatherslp #marshallmathers #hiphopclassic #classic #bestrapperalive #legend #goat #realslimshady #rap #rapmusic #rapgod #d12 #ripproof #stan #top5 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAilwsfl3ZT/?igshid=1i7mkjbvhexl1

Happy Birthday to the Late Great Proof! During his career, he was a member of the groups 5 Elementz Funky Cowboys, Promatic, Goon Sqwad, and @d12. He was a close childhood friend of rapper @eminem, who lived on the same block, and was often a hype man at his concerts. On April 11th, 2006 Proof was shot and killed after a dispute over a game of pool. • • • • • • #truerapmedia #proof #ripproof #proofdeath #stoptheviolence #music #hiphop #realhiphop #hiphopmusic #hiphopalbums #hiphopnation #hiphopnews #hiphopheads #hiphopartist #hiphoplife #hiphopfacts #hiphopculture #hiphopjunkie #rap #realrap #rapculture https://www.instagram.com/p/B3JC8Zmn4H3/?igshid=bx2qciz9z7fe

Not to mention one of the most brutally honest people in the world. This day is always so sad for me no matter how many years pass by, I feel your physical absence and it seems like you just left Us all over again. Thank GOD for all the memories good and bad, thanks for giving me 2 beautiful sons who look just like you, thanks for being my husband even when I wanted to divorce your Ass!

Deshaun Holton AKA Proof was shot 12 years ago today. One of the most underrated artists to ever touch the mic. #Repost #rip #proof #deshaunholton #d12 #eminem #oldschoolhiphop #dirtydozen #dooty #apositiveanythingisbetterthananegativenothing #ripproof #shady #reup #marshalmathers #Royceda59 #obietrice #rapculture #rap #hiphop #music #onthisday #hiphophistory #history (at Moncton, New Brunswick)
