Takeoff (The Migos) Killed In Houston

[ISO]

Only ones as huge when they died were xxx
The rest not so much
I’m not saying they weren’t relevant
But this is a huge one

Anyways

My condolences to the family
This situation sucks

They were all huge in the culture of hip-hop.

If you talking about crossing over with cacs like XXXtentacion then no and I’d argue XXXtentacion never had to crossover. His fanbase was mostly always that on SoundCloud with his punk rock aesthetic and angsty voice.

But yes I remember when PnB came out and just how much play he got, Pop Smoke obviously massive, King Von was a god to these young nikkas.

Takeoff was always the quiet, overlooked one not that it matters.

Unwatching thread. Ima lose it with yall “rap is the issue why he did” fukktards in here basically tryna celebrate his death for their stupid ass points on some stupid ass “I told ya” moment fukking herbs
RIP to takeoff and hopefully Offset and Quavo and they family stay strong cuz just being empathetic about the situation is fukking crazy especially when it really should’ve not happened its fukking nuts how dude just gone like that. Quavo especially is going to be tormented about this shyt probably for ever.

This! That’s exactly what it was! I can’t remember where I watched it though

Could've been this documentary. The Hell's Angels actually tried to kill Mick Jagger after this because they felt like he blamed them for the whole thing. They tried to pull up on him while he was on a yacht but their boat sank

You have to be obtuse or fukking stupid if u dont think music directed towards Black males about murdering Black males
Has nothing to do with ANY Black male murder by another Black male

Let alone the murder of a Black male rapper



Can't delude yaself
EVERYBODY a hypocrite including myself cause I still listen to music about Black trauma and violence



If the same amount of content was put out about murking cacs
There would be an uptick in cac deaths

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.

A nikka could be on a deserted island and get attacked by a killer klan of man eating piranhas and “bruhs” would still be in some “see its da hiphopz cultcha!” shyt


I honestly don’t understand why some of you insist on shoehorning your agendas into every conversation like that

But what did rap have to do with Takeoff getting killed though?

This had nothing to do with rap. A lot of these rappers who are killed are not killed because of rap

They're in bad environments

I'm not hanging around ppl just to be around

If you don't need to be there, don't be there

RIP

Please explain why homicides were higher before violent music was popular.

Instead of babbling this nonsensical rhetoric ..if you had the competency to actually draw a line of causation between takeoffs killer and his rap lyrics you would have by now …but since you obvious don’t all you offer is this non sequitur emotional rambling

When a nikka robbed me few weeks ago in Jersey City, I wasnt thinkin, damn, if only son was able to diagnose his mental health.

these nikkas is just bums, lazy, lookin to make a quick $$ to get some designers and buy bottles for I.G.

It wasn't a robbery

 

[JustCKing]

And just to be clear, nobody's defending violence. But it's the stupidity, poor logic, and narratives that are as disgusting as the violence that I stand against.

 

[murksiderock]

Now that dynamic has been upset because rappers wanna be street for real and street nikkas want to compete with rappers for clout. Both groups knew their lane in the past.

This is one of the best responses in here and all facts...

And it's a major, major problem...

nikkas also need to be in the shooting range.

That doesn't change the outcome here, only a different person is killed...

The access to guns is outta control and near the root of the problem, though...

I've seen ppl (family) mad over Monopoly. I done got hot over Uno with my cousins.

Nobody is murdering anyone over Monopoly money or Uno...

Post those stats

I honestly have no words, I’m out and about today and I’ve been mentally blank.

A shift just needs to happen…..but the reality of it..it’s not coming or on the horizon
