For all the conspiracy theories about Ghazi and empire... people do forget that his label became successful because of rappers who couldn't stay out of jail...or were deemed as extreme liabilities to traditional record labels.
All them rappers that ended up getting killed...were all too far into the streets to save themselves from what they'd already done.
Only a tin foil hat moron would look to a label head instead of the individual situations surrounding each murder.
Ghazi orchestrated Von attacking someone and getting shot in self defense? His death was on camera and we know exactly how it happened and who did it.
XXX got killed in a robbery attempt. Ghazi told him to walk around with a bag full of cash and not give it up with a gun pointed at him? His killer stood trial and is in prison.
Mo3 and Dolph died behind street shyt.
When a label has artists like Drake, Cole, or Mos Def get gunned down we can entertain a conspiracy. Street dudes getting shot is not a surprise. Not to mention that you would make more money with the artist being alive. XXX died when he was on the verge of becoming a star but idiots can't do the math.
