Steve Irwin's death exploited in rap lyrics

R.I.P. Steve Irwin
One and a half months later, an artist from the hip hop world is already using his death as a punchline.
In his new track entitled ‘Gayme Over’, Ras Kass uses the Croc Hunter’s death to diss ‘The Game’. That’s the same Game I shone the spotlight on a few weeks ago.
Here’s the lyric:
“You're the waste of LA
Get blast up in LA
Face down, ass up in LA
You the Crocodile Hunter, I am the stingray,”
Ras Kass: the guy who exploited Irwin's death to diss 'The Game'
Since then, they’ve continued the insult’s through interviews, recorded tracks, and even through websites like YouTube and MySpace.
John Stainton, Irwin’s Manager came out with a few words regarding Ras Kass’ lyric. These are quoted from the Sydney Morning Herald:
"I just find it a bit sad that people have to stoop to that,"
"It is disappointing. I can't understand the point of it. There are other references they can make that will put the point across."
"I just think it is a pity that people do have to use Steve or anyone who has died in tragic circumstances ... as a form of entertainment."
I guess, Stainton doesn’t understand how the Rap world works. Though I agree, it’s just sad that it’s come to this.
Take care and peace out…
