RIP YOUR HIP-HOP CAREER

An African-American man, in his early twenties, poses for a camera shot. He is wearing a tan jacket with a tan hat tilted to the side.

The numbers are in and the deadliest profession is as a hip-hop artist!

Music to die for: How Genre Affects Popular Musicians' Life Expectancy, is the theory penned by Dianna Theadora Kenny, a professor of psychology and music at the University of Sydney. She examined the deaths of 13,000 pop artists musicians and looked for patterns such as if blues musicians kill themselves more often than metal musicians? or if country artists died younger than punk artists? Dianna later told Washing Post "People who go into rap music or hip hop or punk, they're in a much more occupational hazard profession compared to war. We don't lose half our army in a battle." This much i will say is true, you never hear about Pop Artists or Country artists being shot in killed in acts of violence. I don believe however that its the deadliest profession, Rockstars do a lot of drugs leading ultimately to death. It's not the genre, its the environment.
