:dahell: As a HH head from way back I can honestly say that I never heard of him until yesterday.

I can't go through the entire thread, but can someone name songs or albums of his worth checking out??
He just recently started getting hot on a mainstream level but this song is always on the radio in cali.



Really popular with depressed teens.

He was really talented at crafting melodies, which might be the most important aspect of creating music. He wasn’t the most prolific writer, but his versatility allowed him to cross genres. His last album had rock music, rap, and carribean influenced dance music - all of which he could make at a pretty high level.

Did he play an instrument or write music ?

Everybody and their mama is "creating melodies"nowadays with a computer.

Facts.

Breh was genuinely "musical."

Some have it, some don't. He had it.

Was excited to see where he took his gifts. Shyt is a damn shame.

Yes, what I know he wrote most of his stuff. Listen to his last album and judge for yourself. He made me a fan with that album. His melodic talent is more in the singer sense than the rapper sense, since you don’t have to be very melodic to be a good rapper.

My timeline has been the epitome of hypocrisy since yesterday.

I understand how you can feel sorrow for this young brother falling victim to the streets, but hoping he rests in "peace?" :dahell:

This nikka didn't even live in peace and brought torment to others. At what point does a few catchy melodies not absolve an artist from glaring destructive and dangerous behaviors?

Some of the shyt I'm reading make it seem like the kid's some martyr.

You can't be naive enough to think he was being serious do you? That's all it takes from you to throw someone under the bus? A troll tweet? That's the line? You're pathetic :pacspit:

People get thrown under the bus for a lot. If some random brother talked that foolishness and got clapped, would ypu feel strongly about protecting his honour.

It's why I think people like him are pushed with a purpose in mind. Lulls people into accepting disrespect against their image and community.
