Report Reveals %70 Of Hip Hop Murdered Cases Remain Unsolved

A new shocking report shows the amount of Hip Hop murders that have been unsolved in the US.

XXL conducted a study on every rapper that was murdered, and an update, and the results are pretty shocking.

The article is called “The Current Status of Every Murdered Rapper’s Case,” and it shows that just under 70% (69.2) of rappers murdered remain a mystery until this day.

They began their research at 1987's murder of Scott La Rock, and looked at 52 other cases after that.

“Of those 52 murders, only nine have been definitively solved; four additional cases have seen arrests with defendants awaiting trial, while still three others are either unclear or still disputed. That leaves 36 MCs cut down before their time whose murders have never been solved by the police, just a 30.7 percent resolution rate.”

Wow.

“NPR reported this March that the national ‘clearance rate’ for homicides in the United States stands at 64.1 percent. Those numbers are so far apart they’d almost be laughable if they weren’t so sobering.”

They go through the murders of 2Pac, Jam Master Jay, Notorious B.I.G. and more during the report. It's definitely worth a read if you get a chance here.
