The rap folk is mourning a skilled freestyler.

8 Mile actor Nashawn Breedlove died in his ease Sept. 24 at his house in Fresh Jersey, according to TMZ. He was once 46.

Nashawn performed Lotto, who faces off in a rap combat in opposition to Eminem’s B-Rabbit within the 2002 movie loosely in keeping with the “Lose Yourself” artist’s time.

Previous to 8 Mile, Nashawn carried out beneath his level moniker OX or even rapped along Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg at the monitor “Don’t Talk Sh-t” in the 2001 film The Wash.

Following Nashawn’s passing, fellow rapper Mickey Factz posted a tribute the overdue artist and mirrored on his legacy. 

“RIP to one of the few emcee’s to beat Eminem,” he wrote Sept. 25 along a clip of Nashawn rapping within the film. “Lotto from 8 Mile. Who’s friends lovingly called him, OX. You will be missed for your tenacity and aggressiveness.” 

Enthusiasts flocked to the remark category to percentage their unhappiness.

“Thank you for posting this,” one person wrote. “Nashawn was so humble and modest he didn’t even know he had true fans. He was so talented.”
