The easiest way to explain why they won't form is relating them to Nirvana, When Kurt killed himself they didn't continue (they tried) but it just didn't feel right, so they split and dave grohl made the Foo Firghters... now how does this relate to D12? When Proof died the spark of D12 died along with him, they tried to form on the Return mixtapes but they decided to do their own thing.
That's not a bad comparison, but it's flawed. Nirvana couldn't have continued without Kurt Cobain, as he was the front man. He was the face of Nirvana, and the guy that actually sang and wrote the songs. While Proof may have been an important part of D12, perhaps even the spark, they could definitely continue without him and not drastically alter what they do, since everyone else did the same thing as him.
Of course, the skill levels and things of that nature vary between the members, but D12 without Proof is still D12. Different, perhaps. But the personality of the group isn't altered in the way that losing a lead singer in a 3 person band would be, because the group is defined just as much by the other members, since they are all the face and voice of D12.
