Somebody should smack this fool upside his head

Besides that I don’t even think she posted him being with her at Roscoes she coulda been there with anybody. I think its pretty dumb to think she caused this when he was clearly a victim of circumstance.

His last story he showed they were together

Is the robbing/gang culture the reason la Niklas dress down so much? They ain't really known for being Flossy. Just basic tees and khakis.

They bums w no money

RIP to this man.

I didn't know PNB's music, I'm sad nonetheless, but I'm more so tired than anything.

I'm tired of death in our culture, I'm tired of social media's influence, I'm just tired of all this bullshyt!

In one thread you'll have people upset that successful Black people are moving out of their communities instead of circulating their money there. In this thread, a Black celebrity brings his money to a Black owned business, his girlfriend makes a post showing love to that Black owned business, a criminal comes in, murders a Black man and we're blaming them for being there or not being there quietly enough.

This whole fukking culture is trash from top to bottom.

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.

Exactly, I mentioned this earlier and cats said ‘you can’t check in with w/ everybody’

I’m mean….okay. LA seems pretty damn structured to me. Where else you know OGs from sworn “opps” know each other’s families and hang out (Wack and U). Whatever dumb lil arrangement they had all these years seeemed to be working. I mean we just found out Shaq of all people was ‘tapped in’ when he was with the lakers.

But yea let’s go with ’nah it was just random’

Another thing is too…this has the potential to effect fan interactions. Why would I take pictures with someone who chances are will post them immediately
location not withstanding?

hip hop/ this culture is going to have its coming to God moment sooner than later


release everyone from jail that has any drug posestion or weed chargers but dudes like this gottta be under the jail im sorry...you could get prolly 60% of black men free doing that but still come down on crime


do you see any other genre or culture doing this? its insane

It's not about location or checking in, it's about haves and have nots. I am not familiar with the area he was in but from what others are saying it's the "Hood" which increased his chances to be a victim unfortunately. This 99% of the time happens in one music genere. I'm not blaming rap for this I'm just saying 99% of the time a semi famous or famous musician gets murdered over property or alleged disrespectb, they belong to the hip hop community

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...

white asian and latin people dont make music mostly about killing and killing and its the reality but its something this board has actually come a long way with..more people are seeing it but the problem is this board is mostly older people who are smarter

Rip pnb rock

I don’t understand the fascination with people who so quick to blame someone. This blaming the baby mom while she going thru it don’t sit right with me especially since it’s no facts or proof that she did anything other than post a pic of her food which chics like to do

I also don’t understand how y’all can generalize a whole area like LA, rappers get robbed and killed in big cities all the time.

FBI need to start comin in and bringing in RICO charges on these gangs

Been felt that way
