Takeoff (The Migos) Killed In Houston

[Billy Ocean]

Man thats crazy

I already alluded to this but I will ask again Athletes have far more bread than rappers yet why don't they elicit the same murderous hate or get in to some shyt like them. Why aint no one running up on Athletes and trying them like they do rappers

Athletes get robbed ALL THE TIME, breh.

 

[Ohene]

they only come out the woodworks when the victim is a celebrity

Facts

 

[Da_Eggman]

Never heard of no shyt like this.

Cuz it’s just truly pointless no beef at all no overdose no robbery just a completely pointless death

 

[Primetime21]

Still right, tho. It doesn't matter what sparks the change

Its just theatre for them

Dusty Crabs in the barrel breh.....don't blame this on masculinity...this is the result of a single parent home.

Men can't control their emotions if raised by a woman...

So a dusty crab got offended and started blasting...an emotional female reaction...

Generation of crash test dummies...

Yeah throwing him on ignore for this shyt.
I know quite a few cats from 2 parents homes who into fukkery.
Straight up CAC shyt he said.

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.

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.

Modern hip hop culture says...

• Disrespect cannot be tolerated. But fukk your feelings.
• 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."
• Not being afraid to show up in your hood makes you a real one. But anyone can get touched in your hood.
• 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.

The music is full of conflicting messages that has everyone striving to be king of the hill or die doing so.

Do YOU even listen to the music?

This post summed it up perfectly. All of these unwritten rules that lend credibility to you as a rapper will also make you a walking lick. Gotta go back to your hood, gotta deal with extortionist gangs in cities you touch down in, can't tuck your chains, can't de-escalate confrontations, can't cooperate with the police, cant allow any form of disrespect go unpunished.

Some ese even gave Takeoff some gear to match his outfit

My point is we the black community don't live in a vacuum

Gun violence, toxic masculinity is an American problem

It hits our community harder of course

Then you factor in gangs beefing, the war on drugs

Go to any slum in a 3rd world country and u will find more violence. Yet people don’t understand the nuances of the position we are in as a people that cause these environments and violence in the first place. American black men always get fingers pointed at us. Meanwhile we get literally no support from anyone else.

These dudes have gambling addictions and also have an addiction to clout and portraying a gangster image that’s why they do this shyt.

Migos already ran up millions of dollars but are still participating in these silly dice games. Offset got into a situation with 4PF over a dice game. They know full and well how dangerous dice games are. They are filthy rich but they are still participating in dice games with clouted up, hood rich local street dudes. They could easily join gambling games in official spots with other rich guys with rules, regulations, and security but it just don’t hit the same. Worse of all Quavo instigated violence knowing full and well he could lose his life doing that. All this comes down to is the false sense of masculinity and pride and insecurities build inside them.

The other day Moneybagg Yo was literally having dice games on the FedEx Arena floor for no reason.

Still waiting on them stats

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

What stands out to you in the following 2 charts?:

This.

And you know what's even more alarming is this, Ariana Grande had a concert that was suicide bombed. Jason Aldean's set was the target of a mass shooting that was one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. This happened during or right after their performances. Aldean nor Grande come from Hip Hop. No one called their occupations dangerous or deadly even though the murders occurred at the shows. Both of these events happened in 2017.

I've said this in numerous threads. It's crickets when it's non celebs/everyday people. No one can lie and say that none of da same concern is shown cause it definitely isn't. Only those with notoriety or celebrity are afforded that.

People not messing with rap anymore.

Good riddance nikka. Lol. The fukk?
