End Violence  Dear Editor:  In regard to the execution-style
slaying of Rap icon Jam Master Jay in his Jamaica recording
studio who was known mainly for his work with Run-DMC, I found
this rather sad to lose someone so young being 37 and so
talented.  There seems to be so much violence associated with
rap music with so many rap artists being murdered like Tupac
Shakur, Christopher Wallence aka Notorious B.I.G. then there was
Freaky Tah, member of the Lost Boyz, Death Row Rapper Randy
Walker included in this list is Puffy Combs protege Jamaal
“Shyne” Barrow who was convicted of reckless endangerment and
weapons possession.  Now I grew up in the rock era and there
didn’t seem to be much violence except to themselves, death was
caused mainly by drugs. The main theme of the era was sex, drugs
and rock and roll except John Le
