D12’s Proof Relates To Nirvana Singer

While Proof of D12 is hardly suicidal, he tells BET.com that he devoted a song to his group mates on his solo debut in an effort to express the daily stress of remaining relevant as a rapper. “The song ‘Kurt Cobain’ is a song dedicated to Eminem and D-12 and at the end of the song, I kill myself. I relate to him on that level with just the pressures of life in this industry, the struggles of the music game, the struggles within yourself – that you’d rather not be in this mother,” he admitted. “Every icon that I use on there is not for namesake. Its how I relate to them,” he said after singing a verse from and unnamed Janice Joplin song.”
