LA dudes who got it ball out and dress fly all the time....
Atlanta is one of the most overrated places for Black folk. The disparity between rich and poor is large there as well, and Atlanta rappers stay getting at each other or vic'd by regular dudes. Just because yall don't hear about it doesn't mean it's not happening, the fact all these RICOs are rolling or in the works there should tell you how violent Atlanta is for black people...
People gotta stop singling out LA as if these other major cities aren't doing the same shyt...
Ive wondered that too. Bc they got a lot of gangs too. Maybe its because mexicans control the drug game and dont have to do robberies???I wonder why Mexicans never attack rich or famous black people, they make up like 50% of LA. Don’t hate hate us as much as the kkk operatives known as crips and bloods of La?
Maybe the rappers and them should hire those guys to protect them from the c00ns

RIP to PNB...
It was a crime of opportunity, I don't know if anything else led to this but he definitely was wide open in a neighborhood he isn't from...
Here's the thing, this can (and does) happen to regular cats and street cats everywhere. But in the real world, let's say he was a known hood figure FROM LA or any city, dudes gotta think twice about hitting you because there are street ramifications for it. Known cats with reputations tend to be connected to other people with reputations, this balances out the risk of violence---->not that it won't happen because it does, but when dudes know you may be itchy upon approach and when they know you have a hit squad behind you, they are going to think twice before engaging because hitting a known figure FROM here is costly...
This isn't specific to LA, this is a reality that plays out anywhere...
PNB is in the HOOD in a city he isn't from with no real connections, there's no get back for harming him. There's no street risk in harming him. This is Point One...
Point Two, are street rappers general disconnection and lack of self-awareness in general, in that being celebrities reduces the risk of being harmed. Dudes become disconnected to the common man's reality, if they were ever in tune at all really...
One of the most important points though, is this is correlated to the glorification of street activities, because the guys who don't glorify themselves or the streets in their music aren't the ones being harmed. This is why this happens in hip hop more than artists of other genres, and this is why this happens to street rappers. No other genre glorifies criminality like this, and I'm not gonna go too deep into the rabbit hole but even vids of PNB being linked in thus thread are of him threatening to smoke nikkas, saying he goes places without security, being Hella braggadocious, BRAZENLY STATING "IVE NEVER BEEN ROBBED IN MY LIFE"...
In the real world that happens every day in your city, my city, everyone's city, if that's who you are then move appropriately because regular guys want to see what that's about...
I'm not saying he deserved this but if we believe who he says he is, and I have no reason to think he wasn't who he said he was, then he wasn't innocent and all this shyt comes back full circle when you live that way...
Yall only care because it's another rapper. This happens to regular guys every day, EVERYWHERE, and most of those dudes who present themselves that way are far from innocent, but the regular guys are irrelevant. This only matters to most of you because it's a rapper and because it's LA...

Atlanta is also a majority black city, LA has significantly less black folks than the average American city. Getting targeted by black folks in a Mexican and white city, is not the same as getting into it in a black city.
PnB happened to be in the hood, though in the middle of the day. But most of these rappers getting targeted are always out in Beverly Hills, Hollywood and wherever the fukk.
People don't like hearing reality and would rather blame the blsck girl

You're getting emotional because you can't deal with the truth
Them nikkas out there on some c00n shyt, and since you defending the fukk shyt you right there with them
Real funny style shyt going on, but go ahead and keep it hood and be a real nikka to impress them other bozos
It ain't nothing wrong with extortion as long as he's black right, pay the fees or get shot down in front of your kids at a black owned restaurant
Wouldn't do a Mexican rapper like that, weak ass nikkas
Inglewood is still majority black
IT HE DIDNT WEAR HIS JEWELRY IN AN IMPOVERISHED AREA HE WOULD BE ALIVE THIS MORNING..
IF YOU WEAR JEWELRY IN LA YOU ARE A RISK NO MATTER WHAT RACE OR OCCUPATION..
THESE nikkaS ROBBING ON “c00n” shyt ARE ALSO ROBBING ASIANS, WHITES, ARABS FOR THEY ROLEXS..
YOU FORGET BLACK CRIPS SHOT A WHITE MAN AND STOLE HIS RICHARD MILLE WATCH IN A RESTAURANT IN BEVERLY HILLS..
THIS IS A GANG CAPITAL AND WHAT DO GANGS DO?
if you don’t wear jewelry out and about in Los Angeles you lower your chances of conflict no matter what you driving..
People need to wake up it’s not that difficult to see what’s really going on out here
FBI need to start comin in and bringing in RICO charges on these gangs
I've been saying that for years. There's videos of Big U openly saying he's taxing rappers who visit LA and they gotta check in with him.
Gangs are freely talking about extortion and targeting rappers but they're not connecting these robberies and murders to sweep them all off the streets. I don't see these robberies stopping if they don't get more aggressive with handing out RICO indictments.

Rest In Peace to him.
Not my generation, so wasn't familiar with him or his music. Unwarranted bullshyt. If they got the drop on him, they could have taken whatever they wanted to rob him of, absolutely no reason to kill him.
MFers are devils.
Also, for those blaming his woman, who is to say they wouldn't have fired on her too?

And not that it matters but it’s majority Mexican.

The only difference is that because Atlanta is so black it shields most people from the realities going on there...
Do you really think getting targeted by other black people is different because you're in a city that's plurality black? (Atlanta's not majority, it's down to around ~48% black now and as white people keep moving in and Atlanta keeps getting gentrified the BLACK neighborhoods are still the ones where most of the violence goes on)...
Like I said I'm not going deep into the rabbit hole but why do you think we as a community perpetuate violence to this degree regardless of where we are in this country? LA isn't more dangerous than Atlanta, we can go down the list of cities...
We are conditioned this way over the course of 400 years. Cities like Raleigh (27% black) and Virginia Beach (18% black) that have large black communities but lower rates of black violence are rare in this country, and even in those cities the conditioning still exists, but are at a lower degree than elsewhere....
LA does have a large culture of robbing abd always has, I'll give you that. Robberies happen everywhere but alot of cities aren't DEFINED by it the way LA or Brooklyn or Fayetteville are...
