Takeoff (The Migos) Killed In Houston

[Liu Kang]

RIP Takeoff, 28 is way too young to go smh.

Regarding, the debate in this thread, it's silly to think rap doesnt have an impact on the culture and the deaths. Musicians of all genre have died or gotten killed for the longest but rappers die at a waaaaay higher rate for rap not to have something to do with it in essence.

But it's also silly to think it's the main reason as well. Socio economic factors do box the poorest into a reduced number of paths to make it in life with rap being one of them. So it's logical that violence plague rap music if that's the environment rappers are often coming from.

Takeoff
PnB Rock
Pop Smoke
XXXtentacion
Young Dolph
King Von
Nipsey

All huge

Even rappers like Trouble and JayDaYoungan were big in their markets.

These nikkas dying every couple months. It’s a crisis in rap.

No diss but Migos is on a level above everyone you just mentioned as far as popularity. Even my mother knows who the migos are.

How are those poor examples? Every time a rapper is killed, the logic is that they died because of violent music. If this is the case, how then, are artists who didn't make violent music dying violent deaths?

It doesn't make any sense because let The Coli tell it, Hip Hop is killing people and it's not people with guns.

its poor examples because if i asked you to write a compare and contrast paper on rappers being killed due to street violence, why would you take a reader to Marvin Gaye or Lennon and whoever else outside of rap? I would want you to list say somebody like Qtip or any conscious rapper vs street rappers.

Sounds like they were playing dice but the argument wasn't about the game. Someone made a joke about how he could fight Quavo and he got pissed and it escalated

Maybe but not Takeoff individually.

The point is if you a late millennial or Gen Z if you a fan of hip hop in the last handful of years those guys were huge.

This stupid ass post here


Music that promotes murder
And an artist that makes the music murdered
Yet it has nothing to do with the music



I love rap but aint no way imma pretend it is not a negative propaganda tool in many cases

You need to first educate yourself on causation v correlation…. I know you can’t actually explain how rap music caused his death in an intelligent way without babbling nonsense

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

shyt made local news
Senseless

But I wasn't asked to write a paper comparing and contrasting rappers dying due to street violence. And even if I were, what am I comparing and contrasting it against.

You came up with criteria based on what you want me to write about. Very myopic view considering homicide has affected nearly every genre of music.

Typical dice game banter. If you ever played dice in the streets you know. Shyt is toxic as fukk with the shyt talk. Someone makes a bad joke and in typical Quavo Fashion he gets offended and throws a punch, and now his nephew is dead smh

Mortality rate of being a rapper could be like 25% and brehs would still be on some "it's not a hip hop culture problem" shyt.

I honestly don't understand why some of you insist on caping for the culture like that.

Honestly what the fukk does this situation gotta do with hip hop culture? U cats on here is straight up bozos forreal.

That isn't a crisis in rap. They just happened to be rappers. They are still human beings and homicide is a leading cause of death in the Black community. This has nothing to do with rap. It's saddening if all we see is a rapper dying.

it's a problem that rappers feel the need to be around and associate with this element in our community. add to it listeners expect rappers to be gangsta, hood, confrontational, etc, makes everything worse. yes, realistically it's a black community problem, not rap alone per se, but the fact rappers like being around this element is mind boggling.

i'm sure some of these rock and country singers came from white trash ass hickville, but how often do they go hang out at the local dive bar where meth heads and hells angels are beating each other down? how often do their stars who were from impoverished backgrounds end up dying or being shot as a result of trying to go back to their shytty environments and being around unsavory characters?

rappers need to feel more comfortable breaking off a check to help out the hometown and not trying to show face and stay hanging out with nikkas from the hometown who are full of bad intentions. nikkas need to be more exclusive with their circles, where they hang and who they interact with, drake told us - no new friends

Exactly.

There are professions that actually have high mortality rates directly related to the profession, yet people make dumb posts about how dangerous it is to be a rapper.

 

[AAKing23]

One thing I wish alotta nikkas knew how to do is take an L, probably one of the most valuable things a man can learn in life and keeps you from crashing out over dumb shyt like losing money in dice game.

Shorty was right next to Takeoff when he got hit. Says Quavo was talkin shyt and one of migos ppl shot off and accidentally hit takeoff.

Look through her “tweets and replies” she’s answering ppl asking
