How Did the
Rapper Fat Pat Die
Patrick Lamont
Hawkins Was A 1990's Phenomena
How Did the Rapper Fat Pat Die and leave
the hip-hop community mourning? Well for those who are really
concerned Pat left us while he was trying to collect some money
from a promoter from a show he performed at.
He went to this guys apartment on February 3rd in 1998 and
was shot dead trying to collect that cash. The cops said he was
found face down on the floor.
Apparently someone did not like him and shot him right on
the spot while he waited on the money.
Not sure how things were back then but I'm not sure why he
didn't collect his dough at the show like every other rap
artist that does shows.
It's called Gate money and you are
suppose to get that ASAP. He had friends in his squad so I
wonder why he was rolling solo. Where was the Screwed Up
Click?
Hip Hop has had some major tragedy moments in the 90's and
this was definitely one of them along with Tupac and
Notorious BIG's
death. Lyrics last forever as long as they get recorded though
and he did leave us the debut album Ghetto Dreams which did get
released.
As a respectfully gesture in moves major recording artist
showed up to the release party including Scarface, Willie D, DJ
Skew who later died and The South Park Mexican. Blogs still speak about this fallen
hip-hop soldier as they do 2Pac and Biggie. Rap gossip
bloggers pay tribute every year by posting a article about
him and maybe a free mp3 they have in their massive stashes
of music libraries.
Texas has a bunch of nice rappers which include the
following list:
- Bun B
- Mike Jones
- Pimp C (Rest In Peace)
- Paul Wall
- Chamillionaire
- Lil Flip
You can even mention power house groups like the hot boys
and still be well within the margin of respect. Artist come and
go and soon there will be many to pass away we just have to
make sure we love on them while they are with us because they
make our lives a little easier with their written lyrics.
