Rappers are dying at a higher rate than normal citizens? nikka are u serious? And hell no I ain’t Republican what the fukk do that gotta do with anything. Like I said. Download the citizens app then holla at me. Cause u have no idea wtf u talking about or what’s going on outside.

Breh, do you know crazy this sounds?

Rappers are not dying at a rate disproportionately to normal citizens. Do you know how many citizens actually die as a victim of homicide daily? Compare that to the number of rappers. They don't die at a higher rate. There is no data that supports that claim. If so, show me. People are killed daily doing regular, everyday activities.


lol alright bet, let’s back up and take normal citizens out of it, cause y’all are right people die everyday. And they also don’t exactly do studies on per capita rapper murders compared to civilians. And yall asked for data.

So let’s look at musicians as a whole, that’s more equal, all these guys are celebrities, public figures, etc.

Go head and give this social study a scan ( link ). It covers mortality rates of artists across genres of music. You can take whatever from it you like, but scroll down to the graph titled The main cause of death for musician by genre. From that data, homicide as cause of death ranges from 6-10% across different genres of music. In the rap/hip-hop category, homicide accounts for 51% of all deaths.

That really seems normal / nothin to see to yall? :hubie:


Rappers are victims of violence at a much higher rate than other musicians / public figures. And I don’t like it. That’s my whole point. If yall wanna argue w/ that then go talk to a wall.

and this is what's wrong with hip hop culture...i am not on the side of saying hip hop created the violence, but it's an art form where a good half-3/4 of the artists are judged by how much they're in the streets, and are expected to be and encouraged to be in the streets....even many of the "squares" have had to mix and mingle and/or prove how hard they are on wax.

it's the only genre where fans (and the artists) :clap: for dudes beating other crews down, being ten toes down on the block, etc after getting on. nah, how about we clap for them not coming back. if you're not in the area for an intentionally positive reason (even then, some of these rappers know they shouldn't be back in their hometowns), then just dont go. there's more ways to have fun away from the hood/hood nikkas than there are in the hood :ld:
The streets dictate what’s cool and what’s pop culture

That will never come from the privileged

The original argument was that these killings are just happenstance and that the artist died at everyday locations. So which is it?



Rappers are dying at a disproportionately higher rate than normal citizens. And way higher than other celebrities while we’re at it. You really just sound like a Republican saying that gun violence happens everyday so what are we gonna do about it?



The exact same logic applies to Beyoncé or Rihanna. Or Ari Lennox or fukkin Lizzo idc. My point is that rappers within a specific sub-section of hip-hop are more exposed to being victims of violence, even when they’re doing nothing wrong. Like I said, Dolph was getting cookies, XXX was shopping at a motor sports store. Pop Smoke was in his home. They weren’t doing anything that warranted or deserved violence.

You’re saying that violence happens everyday to everyday people, so we should just chalk it up to bad luck. But what happens when rappers are victims of violence at a way higher rate than your average person, artist, celebrity, etc?


To be clear, I’m not over here saying all hip-hop is toxic, or the culture is toxic. Because I don’t think that’s true. But we’re seeing a different rapper killed every month or so now it feels like. It didn’t feel like this even 10 years ago. I’m trying to figure out why? Because I hate it.
Trying to figure out why without accepting that the culture is toxic...damn breh, your head must be hurting like a mf from all the thinking :wow:

This data was based on the deceased though. Out of all the rappers that died, 51% of them died of homicide. That's not the same as rappers are dying at a rate of 51%.

J Prince speaks


Man honestly, putting all that rap fan stuff to the side, this just a disgusting post.
This isn't the first time someone died attending those mob ties dice shyt, and he knows for a fact who for takeoff hit. End of the day, takeoffs mother is a civilian and she has to deal with this whole "no snitching" shyt from her sons friends and affiliates (mob ties), just sad man.
The hip hop community needs to collectively come together and eliminate this check in nonsense, and that will allow J Prince and his whole operation to render useless .
I may sound hyperbolic but something seriously needs to change in hip hop. It's in crisis right now.

Yea shyt wild annoying … nikkaz always doing this nonsense
Right now that’s all anyone has got to go off tho, Takeoff would surely want his fans trying to figure out what happened to him, can’t blame people for wanting to figure the shyt out even if it’s going off some grainy shytty video :dame:

Current theory:

someone with a yellow hoodie tried to snatch Takeoffs chain...
...Takeoffs man saw it and went to shoot the chain snatcher but may have hit Takeoff
(its also possible the person in the yellow hoodie shot Offset)

you can actually see it kind of clear in this video



they found buddies IG
I *think* he went private during the stream



I can’t really make out the chain snatch theory but this is a very important video for another reason:

The armed man in the blue dikkies type outfit w/ the red satchel—-that everyone has already identified as Quavo’s brother Migobands—-is parallel to Takeoff at first, which lets us know they are cool. We would assume that’s the case since that’s his literal nephew, but that right there confirms it.

But then the man in the yellow hoodie has some type of interaction (possibly the chain snatch attempt on Takeoff), then Migos bands takes a few steps back——which would move Takeoff into Migobands potential line of fire—- then one would assume Migobands starts shooting. While it can’t be confirmed Migobands is the one that hit him, it would explain how someone in Takeoff’s team could shoot him accidentally from the front. This whole time, I was assuming someone on Takoff’s team could only shoot him from behind if it were an accident

They were at a bowling alley party. Young Thug’s BM got shot and killed at a bowling alley as well. Bunch of people was shot in killed in Harlem this summer at a BBQ celebrating. How many people get shot and killed at movie theaters? U seen when people got shot and killed in Vegas at that hotel I believe? Getting shot and killed at the club. Getting shot and killed at the supermarket. Getting shot and killed at the mall. Getting shot and killed at school. Getting shot and killed at CHURCH. Getting shot and killed on the train and subway platform. Getting shot and killed on the bus. Getting shot and killed while driving. Getting shot and killed while leaving their house. Getting shot and killed IN THIER HOUSE by strays. Excuse me genius. Where is it safe to go?
Breh I can see your blood pressure going up reading each word in this post :lolbron:
