Takeoff (The Migos) Killed In Houston

[Braman]

none of this happened in the video

Quavo is literally asking something to the effect of why are
These nikkas fighting about basketball

There is nothing you have to be “built like that” for to say that

Yes, it did. Listen again.

@ :30 Quavo: “Ain’t talkin bout basketball bruh y’all nggas just saw me (inaudible)”

(what came after ‘y’all nggas’ could be important but can’t tell what he said)

:37 Quavo: “Don’t play like that bruh. Don’t play like that” (gets louder)

:38 Sounds like someone else: “aye let’s go…(mumbles, inaudible)”

:41 Possibly that same someone else , or Quavo “hurt somebody”

:44 everyone reacts to either a punch or a single gunshot. I think a punch

:48 gunfire

:49 crossfire

 

[Braman]

My bad if it’s already posted but Quavo’s next to last story is him riding with Jas Prince with a gun in the front seat. Quavo throwin up sets. Jas Prince ‘you know how we ridin’ …with 2 random dirty nggas in the backseat I’d bet my paycheck one of them was the shooter

Smh

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Never heard of no shyt like this.

Word, when rappers get killed they're usually the target. Not catching a stray from their own crew while minding their business.

The closest potential thing we could get to something like this is if those guys that killed Stretch caught up to him when he was still dropping off Nas.

 

[InstantKlassik]

When I think about it more this is truly one of the saddest moments in hip hop

Until the next one..

 

[MicIsGod]

quavo said it was that nikka birthday too so you know he was drunk as shyt.

 

[RichYung]

That shyt certainly isn’t supposed to happen on Jas Prince Jr. watch

He’s supposed to be the one to de-escalate things and he failed

Let’s see if the rap community holds him accountable or if they keep fukking with him and checking in

They ain’t gon’ say shyt. I can promise you that.

I'm shoehorning my agenda when rich, multimillionaire Rapper A gets into conflict with affiliated brehs over a 4-figure sum, and multimillionaire Rapper B dies in a shooting as a result? You come up with some wild example when not even needed.

Again causation =/= correlation…. learn what that phrase means …just because a “rapper” is involved with something does not mean that “rap” is the cause of that action … YOU are the one coming up with unneeded babble as we see here below

If it's not hip hop culture, then what is it? Because I definitely don't see country or metal artists getting clipped like this.

You need to educate yourself on the gun violence rate in this country vs others since you admittedly have no idea what’s going on in the United States

Modern hip hop culture says...

• Disrespect cannot be tolerated. But fukk your feelings. irrelevant soapboxing that has no connection to what has been described
• De-escalating an escalation to escape with your life = p*ssy. But you shouldn't take an L in a physical altercation, even if it means pulling a gun. "fukk a fight." from the reports the shooting started when the migos were trying to exit and “escape with their lives” again more irrelevant soapbox babble
• Not being afraid to show up in your hood makes you a real one. But anyone can get touched in your hood. this event took place hundreds of miles from the migos home and in a metro downtown area ..more irrelevant soapboxing
• Rocking jewelry all the time regardless of context means you're not p*ssy and not broke. But so murdering someone for their jewelry and for a come up is what the streets do. this incident reportedly has absolutely nothing to do with jewelry …there’s no purpose of talking about this aside from injecting your projections …that is soapboxing

The music is full of conflicting messages that has everyone striving to be king of the hill or die doing so. this story has nothing to do with music yet here you are babbling about music ..again .. why?

Do YOU even listen to the music? do you even read the stories you comment on before injecting your irrelevant premeditated talking points?

This is exactly what I’m talking about ….nikkas will hop in these threads …ramble a bunch of non-sequitur babble that has absolutely 0 to do with the ACTUAL facts on the ground just to shoe horn in their goofy ass agendas …it’s literal text box shoehorning out of the damn dictionary

nikkas get on here and exploit one of these tragic situations to soapbox their half baked nonsense in the vain attempt at looking or sounding “thoughtful” …then got the nerve to call themselves “reality” smh

 

[Osmosis]

They have too much success to be in this setting in the first place; when you're there I wouldn't be letting my man's go back and forth with cats about nothing. Somebody has to have some backbone here...



You can tell he one of them dudes that would show a completely different side if he was dolo...

What's the point of being around J prince if nikkas can get to shooting over a run-of-the mill argument about basketball? Isn't there supposed to be some order?

Here's the thing though - now it's hip-hops turn in the cycle. When 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's singers were associated with the mob, and entourages and artists were disappearing, it made the news. Soul singers of the 60's & 70's, it made the news. Rockers with the biker clubs in the 70's, 80's and 90's, it made the news...at alarming rates. The people still mingled with their criminal element. That's engrained in society. But now the mob is virtually non-existent, R&B is dead, pop singers are manufactured from childhood biker clubs aren't what they were and hip-hop is at the forefront.

As for country music, no one cares about it enough for it to be front page. It's mostly maintained it's for its people roots, so I'd assume they have their incidents as well that aren't front page. Country was once a twisted twin of hip-hop, and now it's what hip-hop used to be.

Man what are you talking about I’m looking at the charts now

Taylor Swift sold 1.5M first week her whole album is in the top 40

Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, Cole Swindell are also in the top 40. I haven’t heard of these guys except Morgan because he was on a song with Durk. Just imagine how many country artists there are that cacs listen to that aren’t on the charts.

Lil Nas X popped off country rap

Country is huge among white Americans and Nashville is their Atlanta as far as what it represents in their culture and industry we just not in tune

shyt like this just don’t be happening

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Two completely different answers and nann one of them even answered my question

Post articles and receipts to show it happening at this rate in the 50s-80s, I lived the 90s onward and it absolutely wasn’t.

R&b may be dead on the mainstream but there are still plenty of r&b artists and they aren’t getting clapped at this rate

And everything makes the news in the world of social media - a country star on nipsey’s level would be on tmz. But like I said, take genre out of it and show me the white artists getting gunned up when is the last time a white rapper got killed?

People can bury their heads all they want - THE BLACK COMMUNITY HAS A VIOLENCE ADDICTION

How does everything I laid out not have anything to do with the situation when someone worth millions literally died over a dice game? And this isn't some rare fact. What is your explanation of how and why these rappers are dying to gun violence when other artists aren't like that? XXXtentacion, Dolph, PnB Rock, & Takeoff all gone in the last 4 years. Please provide me with similar artist deaths in another genre since this is an American gun violence problem and has nothing to do with our culture & sense of community.

Here are some (easily Google-available) stats:

• Young Black Americans (ages 15 to 34) experience the highest rates of gun homicides across all demographics.
• Black Americans are 10 times more likely than white Americans to die by gun homicide.
• In 2020, 12,179 Black Americans were killed with guns, compared with 7,286 white Americans:
  • While Black Americans made up 12.5 percent of the U.S. population that year, yet they were the victims in 61 percent of all gun homicides.
• Black males under the age of 24 actually saw their homicide victimization rates go UP in the early 2000s (last time period available for the data) vs. the late 70s...the only demographic with such an increase.
  • "Although much lower than the rates experienced in the late 1980's and early 1990's, rates for black males ages 18-24 remain higher in 2005 than in earlier periods."
  • https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/htius.pdf (page 74 & 75)

If you think this is all happening independent of hip hop culture, you are just lying to yourself and no stat will ever convince you otherwise. Anyone that's been around middle class black men knows this shyt is pulling black men down at the margins.

Too many brehs being lost to the bullshyt, yet "we" celebrate it in the music and people like you will go on and on excusing the music.

Let me ask you...all this shyt aside, are you cool with music that portrays killing other black men as cool or masculine? Even if you don't think it contributes to crime...that somehow the millions of people listening to this day in and day out somehow don't have their thoughts or impulses influenced by it...do you think it benefits our people on the whole?

Simple question.

 

[Ohene]

the moneybag yo dice shyt was some of the most blatant c00ning I seen in a while.

Wow that pic is crazy

 

[ISO]

Yes, it did. Listen again.

@ :30 Quavo: “Ain’t talkin bout basketball bruh y’all nggas just saw me (inaudible)”

(what came after ‘y’all nggas’ could be important but can’t tell what he said)

:37 Quavo: “Don’t play like that bruh. Don’t play like that” (gets louder)

:38 Sounds like someone else: “aye let’s go…(mumbles, inaudible)”

:41 Possibly that same someone else , or Quavo “hurt somebody”

:44 everyone reacts to either a punch or a single gunshot. I think a punch

:48 gunfire

:49 crossfire

Nikkas don’t know how to communicate this is a prime example

A situation is escalating and Quavo is not using his words but nonchalantly posturing

He is dismissing the emotions of whoever he is arguing with and saying shyt that could be perceived as threats

Use your fukking words grown ass man speak up and de-escalate what the fukk
