In an up-coming interview with HHNLive.com, Rick Ross speaks on the tragic death of Washington Redskins Free Safety Sean Taylor.

Taylor was shot to death at the age of 24 in his Miami area home November 27 by an apparent intruder. Taylor was born and grew up in the Dade County area of Miami, Florida.

Hip-Hop artist Rick Ross speaks to HHNLive.com on the incident:

"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."

Taylor had run into legal troubles in the past, including being arrested in 2005 for aggravated assault with a firearm (a felony) and battery (a misdemeanor), for allegedly pointing a gun at a person over a dispute over two ATVs that Taylor claimed were stolen from him. He had since cleaned up his life and was focusing on his NFL career.

"You know he had the previous charges and whatever and he couldn't have one (a gun). That's just it though, you got to protect your life and your family. Anybody out here reading this...I'm sorry that's just my stance on it..." Rick Ross told HHNLive.com.
