I'm Hip Hop has an upcoming interview with Rick Ross in which he addresses the murder of Sean Taylor, an all-pro Washington Redskins free safety. He was only 24. Shout out to 301 / P.G. County and all my fam and friends over there.
"Man that’s just such an unfortunate event, and it goes to show you that tomorrow is never promised. You have to keep that pistol under that bed man. You have to take that charge. That’s what I’m kind of mad myself about, about the whole situation. You know he had to take a little heat for the past situation and he felt like he couldn’t have that in his possession. I mean someone come into my house? Sh*t I would’ve been fired 100 .22 rounds through the walls and everything at you’re a**. You know what I mean? But you know it’s unfortunate, this dude laying here, his young child is there, his female is there and he’s trying to defend them you know? He lost his life behind that. It’s senseless violence, I’m pretty sure they are going to find out who the suspect is. I’m pretty sure they are going to catch him but you know…that man is dead and gone. He lost his life."
That's so true. People were sweating him because he kept getting caught with guns, but it's only to protect himself. People don't understand that where we come from, there's always hate. Especially since he's financially good. Like Jim Jones said, "Though ridin' dirty is a risk/ Gettin' murdered ain't the sh*t."

Washington Redskins star defender Sean Taylor died early Tuesday morning after being shot Monday by intruders at his home in Miami, the NFL club announced Tuesday. According to all the reports, it looks like the intruder's weren't trying to rob him, because they got in and straight fired on him.
The 24-year-old safety died in a Florida hospital where he underwent nearly seven hours of emergency surgery Monday to repair a severed femoral artery, the team confirmed in a website statement.
"This is the worst imaginable tragedy," Redskins owner Daniel Snyder said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Sean's family."
He lost so much blood the doctors began to expect brain damage if he survived.
He did not make it through the night," Taylor's attorney and long-time friend, Richard Sharpstein, told the Washington Post, calling the death "a ridiculous unnecessary tragedy."
Sharpstein also told CNN that "people" entered Taylor's home and fired two bullets, one hitting a wall and the other striking Taylor to start bleeding that he told the Post "could not really be stopped, only curbed a bit."
This was the second break-in in eight days.
Neither Taylor's fiancee nor their 18-month-old daughter, both at home when the attack took place, was harmed physically by the intruders in the second break-in there within eight days.
"This was a deliberate attack," Redskins vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato told the Post.
That's what I'm saying, it sounds like Taylor was beefin' with these guys because nobody tries to "rob" the same house twice in a little more than a week.
He never regained consciousness," Sharpstein told CNN. "He was unconscious when the fire rescue people arrived. It's a senseless tragic death."
Taylor and his fiancee had been in the bedroom when a disturbance was heard in the living room, Sharpstein said.
"(He) tried to get a small machete that he keeps under the bed to defend himself but the door was burst into," Sharpstein told CNN, adding that Taylor's fiancee hid under the covers until the assailants had fled.
"Seemed like a lot of hope after he responded to the doctor's command, but he lost of a lot of blood," Taylor family friend Donald Walker told the Post.
"For all of us here, we're obviously in shock," Gibbs had said Monday. "I know I can't put it in words."
Redskins running back Clinton Portis, a college teammate of Taylor at the Universitry of Miami, lammented Monday that had Taylor not been injured, he would not have been with the team after their Sunday game in Tampa.
"How can you deal with it? It's hard," Portis said. "All we can think about is if he had been with us on the flight to Tampa, if he was at the game with us, then he would not have been in that situation."
Man, we lost another homey, arguably the best safety in the NFL. It's just crazy how life can end so quick.
