In memory of D12's deceased member Bugz

For news on the death of Proof visit the Eminem Blog

Karnail Pitts aka Robert Beck aka Bugz was born in 1978 around May.
He was loved and appreciated by all the D12 members for his rapping skills.
His life ended tragically on May the 21st in 1999: he was only 21 when he died.

The circumstances of his death will make us realize the fragility of human life. Bugz died for nearly nothing:

The day of the show, Bugz, a friend, and his friend’s cousin werespending the afternoon at Detroit’s Belle Isle Park. An altercation arose when a man sprayed Bugz’ friend’s cousin with a high-powered water gun and she took offense. A heated argument ensued which escalated into a fistfight, and Bugz intervened on his friend’s behalf. At this point, a friend of the man with the water gun went into a Ford Expedition, drew a rifle, and fired at Bugz, who was looking away at the time. He was hit three times at close range, once in the neck, and once in the chest. The men then ran Bugz over in the Expedition. An ambulance was called, but due to traffic on the bridge to Belle Isle, it took them thirty minutes to get onto the island. Bugz was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he could not be saved. He had just turned 21.

Bugz untimely passing has only strengthened the resolve of Dirty Dozen members. “It just makes you look at life more serious,” Proof says. “”At this point, we’re trying to gather everything he recorded [to] make an LP.” The Dirty Dozen, who’d been working on releasing their debut EP, are now looking to release Bugz’ material in tribute.

On Thursday, June 24, the Federation Records family is holding a Bugz benefit at The Wired Frog in Eastpointe, Mich. featuring fellow Dirty Dozen member Bizarre, as well as Paradime, The Brigade, SUN, and Da Ruckus. The cost is seven dollars, with all proceeds going to the Pitts family. Bugz will also be featured on The Brigade’s upcoming 4-song 12″ due out on Federation Records next month.

The D12 group was founded by Proof in 1995. It is known that the first three members were Proof, Eminem and Kon Artis who were joined later by an MC named Eye Kyu. Then Bizarre joined the goup. The sixth member was Bugz.

When Eminem was discovered by Dr Dre, he started his solo career with the release of the Slim Shady LP. Eminem was also trying to get D12 a record deal. He was supposed to lead the goup and to make few appearences.
Then Swifty Mc Veigh joined the group. He featured Eminem’s song No One’s Iller.

When Bugz was tragically killed, Eminem placed himself in the group. Bugz’s wish was to have Swifty Mc Veigh as a member of the group.

Track 19 and 20 ‘Bugz 97’ (Skit) and ‘Good Die Young’ from the new D12 World album are dedicated to Bugz.

Before each show, the D12 crew prays for Bugz.

For his crew and for true D12 lovers, Bugz will live forever.

    Im a real big fan of the D12 crew. Kuniva, Swifty, Proof, Kon Artis, Bizzare and Eminem. Ive always had mad love for what the Dirty Dozen spit. The slick witty Kuniva, the ill characteristics of Swifty, the phat freestylin’ Proof, the in your face ‘fuck you’ attitude of Kon Artis, Bizzare..well, his name speeks for itself and the sharp tounged Eminem. Ive had the pleasure of listning to the artists of d12 over the many years of being a fan. One thing I really wish would to have the other incredible artist of the Dirty Dozen to be part of the team, and that of course, is Bugz. I cant say that ive followed Bugz’ life and all that he has done, but i can say that from what i know about him and what ive heard, that Bugz is one hell of an artist. It really is a true shame for someone with talent such as Bugz to have their life cut so short. I am writing this to give props to the fallen member of D12 Bugz. R.I.P

    Wow, Im Amazed of how many people have actually looked into tha inspiration of what Karnail Pitts brought us. Me and Karnail aka M.c Bugz,were not as close as proof and Karnail, but still had an emotion for eachother, and respect.Just releaseing the new album ” D-12 World”, i noticed that the song “Good Die Yong” brought a lot to remember back to Karnail,Fanz Notice`n that im not in the song, i agreed to tha other members in d-12 that this would be there deadication to him. I wasnt the closest person and not knowing alot about him. Im Glad The prayer is in with all of D-12 fans, and keeping the spirit up.

    With Hope And Prayer, Shall God Protect him..

    Rest In Peace Karnail Pitts 1978-1999

    R.I.P BUGZ – the good die young – remember the pursuit of hedonism is the ultimate goal in life – but the ultimate hednoistic experience is a life characterised by virtue and self-improvement.

    He’ll never spit his shit again, but he won’t be forgotten.

    thats a big influence he sounds great,it makes me think ive lost so much to and them to sing about that that is an inspiration to me. As an influence to me im going to print the article on what hapend to him i will put it on my school binders,thats so sad, lifes so preshes, he deserved more.

  16. Daniel Carrone avatar

    just hope who ever did it got their issue…people have no value…over a watergun, not only do they shoot him 3 times why he aint looking, but then they run over him???? Fuckin cowards…Hope they rot in hell….

    D12 new album with that good die young song made me cry. they fuckin rocj and i dont really like hip hop. all i know is its very sad that most have lost that part in them that tells them that life is precious…..

  17. josh avatar
    josh

    yea i cried that shit is messed up, that song is so tight and im putting that article on my binder for the past week since i heard the song i cant get over how fucked up that is, i felt like i know him, it makes me think about how fucked up that shit is and made me right a song like that here it is though i wrote bout my dad it that song got me thinkin

    i cant explain the feelings that i feel
    i feel the sence of sincere
    with a litle bit a fear followed by a tear
    i cry for others
    death so hard
    going through life emotionaly scaured
    i think about something so big over things so small
    i wish itd all go away leave us all forever to stay
    instead hitten you hard taking everything away
    the hopes the dreams the prares
    endless it seems
    ive lost so many
    so scared of lossing more
    anything could happen when you walk out of that door
    dont want to think about what could happen
    in the end to my family and friends
    going around a bend a curve that never ends
    drivving through that with with that light at the end
    i will never forget
    that tragic sunny day those word something went wrong and your fathers gone to stay
    he left and went back home all alone
    i was so sad had to carry me away
    i didnt want to except it i didnt want to believe
    how sad i was
    i just wish i could turn back time
    everdya my heart aches with every breath i take
    some things simple yet so hard left that day
    scaured beyond beleif
    sobbing in my pain and in my greif
    all the times we missed the fun we could of had
    a child without his dad damn that made me mad
    seeing your father dying in the mist
    his pictures motavate me to do what i do
    pain still deep inside
    blood keeps pumpin through
    i feel all alone
    yet so many by myside
    i feel its more complex than that
    its my inner me its what i do and what i see that affecting me
    to be what i can be
    and i will become that best that i can
    live it to the max
    everyone i miss you let this be your guide

    Im appauled that such a great rapper and person was killed over something so pathatic. He was trying to a break up a fight for god’s sake. After hearing the tracks dedicated to Bugz, it just made me think of how much a truly great group D12 is for expressing their feelings to the public about one of their closest friends, which they did incredibly well. God bless you Bugs. Thank you for showing us just how precious life is.

    PS. Fucken Kill that fucker that killed Bugz. I wanna see that gutless faggot’s autopsy on the next D12 album cover.

    when i bought the cd the first song i listened to was Goog Die Young and i started to cry. that is my favorite song on the cd.i am a huge fan of d12 and i hope that fucker dies for killin him because he didnt deserve that. i see all of this stuff on tv and i dont think anyone should get killed over stuff like that like that kid Emmitt Till who got murdered..that was a really sad story.d12 is my favorite group and they didnt deserve to have that loss.

    I think it is a big loss, and feel bad over the whole situation. I didn’t wanna say anything becasue i felt i didn’t have the right but i think everyone should know that the tape that was shown on MTV was only the last couple of seconds of 34 seconds. And none of the band members were there so i don’t know what E is talkin about Bugz gettin shot in the face that’s false. They don’t show how BUGZ was hitin the shooters boy with a tire iron or how it was eight guys on one including BUGZ, they must have not ment to leave that out yea right. Everyone had let it go including BUGZ at one time till BUGZ got a tire iron, hid it behind his back and ran up on the shooters boy while there backs were turned. So it was fault on both sides not just one. If you don’t belive me get that tape from channel 7 or 4, then you’ll see the whole truth. I’m just being real. It’s cool how the group is gettin so much publicity about this just like in 99′. And all this talk fu*k who ever killed him all i gotta say is you all are not god and only God can judge him, who are you to cast the stone. You can’t judge when you know nothin but what you see on TV vs someone who was there on senior skip day 99. Peace out and i’m sorry if i offended anyone but i’m just bein real and tellin the truth.

    i first heard the lyrics bugz spit in bugz97 from the track desperados and sick tune by D12. I never knew about this until i bought the new D12 album. The Good Die Young is one of the best songs ive heard D12 write.It gives me chills when i listen to it. the beat and the mood of everyone in it being so real and with it having so much meaning to them as a group. rest in peice bugz.

    First of all, peace and love to all BUGZ family and friends, including D12. We all miss you bugz. I first heared him on Bugz 97 on the new D12 album. I then heared good die younge and i just couldn’t help but find out more about him. He sounded very talented and i love the song good die younge. It’s the best on the album. People who say D12 have no talent truley must have something wrong with them. They are my favorite group ever and I’m writing this to say to all the people he knew i’m sorry for his loss… the world is a worse place without his presance. I will remember him forever and I hope to hear more of him.

    I NEVER KNEW THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER MEMBER OF D12 BACK IN THE DAY UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON(6.11.04)UNTIL I SAW THE SHOW ON MTV2.

    FROM THE WAY EM WAS TALKING ABOUT BUGZ…I COULD TELL HE WAS A REAL COOL GUY WHO WANTED TO MAKE HIS DREAM COME TRUE WITH HIS BOYS NOT ONLY FOR HIMSELF BUT FOR HIS FAMILY AS WELL.

    WHEN EM SAID THAT HE WAS SHOT ONCE IN THE HEAD (OR FACE) & THEN 3 TIMES IN THE NECK…THAT BOGGLED MY MIND! II CANT WRAP MY MIND AROUND HOW IGNORANT ANOTHER PERSON CAN BE JUST TO PULL OUT A GUN TO SHOOT SOME- 1 FOR NO REASON! THAT MESS MAKES NO SENSE!

    WHEN THE IGNORANT PEOPLE OF THE WORLD EVER START TO GET THEIR HEADS & HEARTS RIGHT…IT MAY BE TOO LATE.

    UNFORTUNATELY.

    bugz spits the illest shit i ever heard. The song, Bugz ’97 could beat so much rap 2day. juss shows you how great a loss he was. Swift has done a awesome job fillin his spot tho, the illest man in d12, minus em. but was he in b4 bugz passed? that isnt told clear enuff. anyways, i listen to “the good die young” more and more, and i learn that maybe kuniva had the best relationship wit bugz, by the lyrics im judging. back 2 bugz, i cant believe that he died the way he did, which pisses me off even more, over a situation that coulda been prevented. that fuckin coward murderer. but shits 2 late now. “you look so peaceful, how could I argue with that?”

    I know it’s a few days old but i couldn’t resist letting nefyu tom know what an idiot he is… skit-so aka quentin clearly labeled his remarks as being towards the comments made by “g-unit” in an earlier post. The world doesn’t revolve around you tom.

    On another note the user “g-unit” obviously doesn’t realize that eminem owns half of 50 cent (the other half is with Dre) and helped produce much of 50’s songs and surely gets a cut of g-unit’s record sales — so giving props to g-unit while dissing eminem doesn’t even make sense

    From What I Have Heard on the l8est D12 album D12 World bugz was the shit man. his rhyme bugz 97 flows so well and the song the good die young is so moving and touching.It makes me stop and think that there are some really fucked up people in the world that would kill someone over something so small.I mean damn its was’nt so bad to shoot someone with a rifle over let alone run over with a truck.Bugz was only 21 when he passed he had a whole life ahead of him still and because of one person his life had to stop short.

    Who run shit, watch these drums hit
    You dove head first into some old dumb shit
    Here’s a can of ass whip, for you to come get
    Your clique made their trip, I made them hoes submit
    Ask your girl, she knows the scoop don’t fuck with Bugz bitch
    I’ll chop off her titti, have you sucking one tit
    Them pink belly niggas is who you run with
    Making half ass songs, shitty snares and one kick
    I hate your damn sound, don’t like it one bit
    You can make a double album, won’t have one hit
    Your entire outfit is on some bullshit
    And there’s not a damn one that I can’t out wit
    I admit, that my style is unfit
    For mamma’s baby boy because I’m on some dumb shit
    Like I commit arsony, get harm quick
    You pull the alarm switch, I’ll stab you in your armpit
    Now who the nitwit wanna come get with
    This egotistic, hip-hop fundal mentalisitic
    Don’t risk it, you’ll get your shit split
    Now keep your distance, and keep existence
    I’m the persistent when it comes to bench shit
    I smoked a blunt with my judge before my sentence
    I’m relentless to deny you’re senseless
    Yo bitch, pay my bill that’s where the hell your rent went

    The sh!t on D-12’s album “D-12 World” is tight! I cry everytime I hear the song “Good Die Young” the song is so moving, and Kuniva’s part makes me think, how screwed up people are! Bugz is the illest and he deserved much more from life then what he got! he never deserved to die that way, and the people who killed him deserves to rot in h3ll! and to the people who asked for a picture there are quite a few on the internet and there is also one in the little book that comes with the cd! and to this “G-Unit” dont disrespect someone who is betta then you! I love you Bugz, R.I.P

    i just gotta say that new d12 album is the shit. they would have been even better if Bugz hadn’t been killed. the sick fuck that killed him will get what he deserves. i heard Bugz97 and Good Die Young when i first got the album and it made me think of how precious and short 1 life is. To his family and to the rest of D12 just wanna let you know that you’re not the only ones who miss him.

    All I want to say is that how much I respect all rappers. Each individual person has gone through hell and back and rappers give us insight on this. All rappers are truly talented. Listening to 2pac, I have grown to understand life and understand what rappers are truly trying to say. RIP 2pac – greatest rapper ever. I have tons of respect of Eminem and D12. Rap wars are just plain stupid. They sing to inform us, to entertain us, not to cause problems with each other. Bugz, you will be missed man, you were a great rapper. To the D12 group, Eminem, 50 Cents, Dre and to the entire record label associated with Bugz who loved him, all I have to say is “keep your head up and pray for better dayz” (quoted by 2pac). Once again R.I.P. Bugz

    Any true fan would know that L.P.Crooks is T.A.Shakur. Interestingly enough, he never died- Have u ever thought, “Maybe I’m the mind he was meant 2 spark”? Well, I c it like this: I b-lieve I’m 2 work with him on something…like spark each others minds somehow. If I’m right, He’ll understand how & contact me. The problem lies in 1. if I’m just crazy, or 2. how do u find him & know its real? anyway, just doing my part so God can take over. Peace & love all-ways!

    ey… didnt know a lot bout BUGZ, but after hearing “GOOD DIE YOUNG” I needed to know what really happened to him. Thas a horribl reason to shoot a dude, specially when their back’s turnd. Even before I heard “GOOD DIE YOUNG” i new BUGZ was an amazing rapper. If we could make time reverse, perhaps we could have saved him, but theres no use in living on the past. BUGZ will never be forgotten; he’s alive in all D12 fans. Its awesome how the members of D12 dedicate songs for BUGZ. “GOOD DIE YOUNG” is probably one of the greatest songs made. Keep writin the songs.

    i was wondering if anyone else has seen the clip of when Bugz died because of this statment;

    SHAMZ
    May 18th, 2004 at 7:43 am

    I think it is a big loss, and feel bad over the whole situation. I didn’t wanna say anything becasue i felt i didn’t have the right but i think everyone should know that the tape that was shown on MTV was only the last couple of seconds of 34 seconds. And none of the band members were there so i don’t know what E is talkin about Bugz gettin shot in the face that’s false. They don’t show how BUGZ was hitin the shooters boy with a tire iron or how it was eight guys on one including BUGZ, they must have not ment to leave that out yea right. Everyone had let it go including BUGZ at one time till BUGZ got a tire iron, hid it behind his back and ran up on the shooters boy while there backs were turned. So it was fault on both sides not just one. If you don’t belive me get that tape from channel 7 or 4, then you’ll see the whole truth. I’m just being real. It’s cool how the group is gettin so much publicity about this just like in 99′. And all this talk fu*k who ever killed him all i gotta say is you all are not god and only God can judge him, who are you to cast the stone. You can’t judge when you know nothin but what you see on TV vs someone who was there on senior skip day 99. Peace out and i’m sorry if i offended anyone but i’m just bein real and tellin the truth.

    If you jump somebody you get what’s coming to you, maybe the guy
    acted out of protection. He’s an idiot to kill someone but if I ever act
    like a punk and not let a grown man fight another grown man then
    please kick my ass or shoot me. I thought the guy was fighting heads
    up with someone then the other guy shot him because his friend was
    losing. I didn’t know he was jumping someone with other people like
    a coward.

    Sorry for your loss but when is jumping someone not the biggest punk move
    ever?
