[kingbean]

[DESTROYA]

Gangsta rap specifically new trend called "drill music"

So he lived and died as he rapped. Isn't that like the Spartan warriors who only value death in battle?

I'm conflicted in my feelings.

Yeah tht was the lifestyle but rip a shame so young and talented in his genre. You know these kids go rapping and perpetuating beef and conflict via rap and make so many enemies it's bound to catch up.

Yeah man, I quit listening to real hard rap like this a few years ago because it was becoming too real. Yeah we had rap beefs in the past, sure, but it was all through music and more like rivalries than outright hatred. This shit is ridiculous, man.

 

[Papa]

Another dadless young black male killed over petty bullshit.

Twitter et al: why does whiteness keep letting this happen???

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Never heard about him. What a waste to die so young. RIP.

 

[MaestroMike]

Rip

 

[EverydayBeast]

What's his greatest song to someone who hasn't heard of him? RIP of course.

You ever notice how the well off white guilt ridden types never go after hip hop artists for their questionable behavior?

But ya, super sad. From what I heard from some younger cats, it sounds like someone inadvertently doxxed Pop via snapchat/ig story.

RIP young man. Seemed to have a really bright future ahead of him. As KRS-One would say, stop the violence

 

[pennythoughts]

rip, dude was on the up and up.

He knew his dad.

 

[Papa]

He knew his dad.

Knowing who your biological father is is different to having a dad. Besides, my comment is more general criticism of endemic black fatherlessness that is the root cause of the culture he was participating in.

 

[Fushitsusha]

Why do rappers have such weird names?

 

[Diddy X]

20... that's still a kid in my eyes

RIP

 

[Afro Republican]

No one knows who this guy is, media puppet pushing Chicago syndrome across the country as usual.

Yeah we had rap beefs in the past, sure, but it was all through music and more like rivalries than outright hatred.

Are you talking about the 80's because that's the only time period where this statement works lol.
