I have two momments that are kinda related: Tupacs death, RIP the God, and DMXs whole life and career trajectory.

For me they're HipHops No. 1 and No. 2 all time. They achieved so much but still had much more potential in them.

And RIP Chinx as well. Just when I was just starting to get into his music...

-mainstream hip hop being dumbed down/feminized

-NY falling off

-Young Thug

-too many white/jewish executives hands in the mix who don’t respect or understand the culture

-Nicki Minaj & Cardi B being taken seriously and not being seen as the whores they really are. you shouldn’t let these bytches near your daughter. all of the young black women’s minds they’ve poisoned.


-extra one......the decline of hip hop music after the south took over

-fukk it another one......the lack of respect for hip hop legends

The Roc breakup I was like 12 when Roc-A-Fella was on top of the world them nikkas had a peak level Jay, State Prop, AND Dipset all at the same time, not to mention two GOAT producers in Just Blaze and a then unknown Kanye West they were a true hip-hop dynasty (no pun intended) I remember my older brothers homeboy was a rapper and his whole goal in life at the time was to be a Roc-A-Fella artist, it was sad to see them break-up and how that shyt played out in the hip-hop media with nikkas dissin’ Hov and having to pick sides between Dame and Jay I really thought the Roc was forever, in hindsight though it really wasn’t :mjcry:

sidebar: Kanye should’ve stuck with Dame based on the fact that he was the one to give him a chance as a rapper when Jay and them was laughing at him and tellin him to stick to producing, but it’s business over morals I guess

1) What happened to DMX, not personally but musically. And of course the personal affected the music but let's keep it about music here.

2) Redman not having the proper backing. He was/is a great hip hop artist both lyrically and can make bangers.

3) Busta Rhymes & Papoose breaking up. They teamed up for a while and made super music together. Lost opportunity there.

4) 50 Cent & Game, same reason as #3

5) a-Team breaking up

Beanie Sigel shyt from 2 years ago was sad. Dude got duffed, got exposed for flip flopping, and then made himself look like an ass on the BC interview.

Yo..I had to sign in and rep you for #5 especially. I was just thinking bout that yesterday. Ran and Hitch was a crazy combination...was bumping they mixtapes all week. Dope thread.

I know for me the death of Stack Bundles still got me fukked up to this day.

My nikka was truly ill. Never got a chance to drop an official album either.

Sean Price ...RIP.....I miss dude's presence in the game he was one of the few still going hard . Dude was legitimately funny, He's definitely in my top 5

Busta Rhymes busting his own head to the white meat falling off stage trying to turn up with the youngstas' It was like the end of an era and the official Larry Holmes coronation where he received his honorary flattop. honestly b4 that. When he cut off his dreads, that was the beginning of him falling off then he just got all :flabbynsick: trying to still be all animated and wild with a pot belly and shyt.

Mystikal Signing with Cash Money when the the game was begging for a collab album with Mannie Fresh

The HotBoy$ breaking up

Stack Bundles dying

Max B gettin locked up

Dipset Reunion, nuff said.

Watchin DMX breakdown in tears on the breakfast club; he was in bad shape already but seeing that made me a little tight, had to fight them tears, I hate seeing dudes that had an impact on me as a kid struggling like that.

Watching Wayne's health and career deteriorate over the years, and other nikkas run with his likeness, style, etc. and fickle ass fans just moved the fukk on.
I've been a wayne fans since "Get it How U Live" days cause he was talkin some real shyt to be a little kid. That was his initial appeal to me anyways.
I like Carter 1 and 2 era Wayne but after that :snoop:. Even then the nikka had the wolrd in his palms then fell off so fukkin hard. Even if I wasnt fukkin with his music in a long time Its infuriating seeing the nikka squander his talent as other nikkas step in his lane and blatantly bite his look and the whole nine and the fans rock with them because fukk boy shyt has been acceptable every since 50 lost to Ye and Ross got a pass for being a fraud.

I'm done with the essay tho lol.

Dont forget the video of him prancin around with two AK's talmbout "gang gang!" right after the fact.
The destruction of dude's legacy is hard to digest. One of those "Life comes at you fast" type of moments
having a physical handicap was enough, but gettin exposed like that and put to sleep and not being able to do shyt but accept it. fukk that's cold.
