more artists needa move like waka flocka make that paper then pull out and invest elsewhere ain't no longevity in hip hop no more without all the bullshit
These dudes is talented…. but how do expect to attract positivity, when all you rap about is negativity. Killing, glorifying money, thots, drug selling and using,etc…..come on wake up Jesus is on his way…..repent..
Some people may say its the content of the music that's responsible for so many young artist demise. I have to say that that is pure nonsense. There is violent content in games, TV series and movies. No one points the finger at those hubs of entertainment. However, when it comes to our music….it gets the blame. Always has always will. No, it isn't the music. Its the street culture itself, the negative application used as an excuse to not elevate so the streets life hustling and killing becomes the norm in our communties. And the community itself becomes the majority enablers. Because as the streets the community follows the same code. Therefore giving the rights of license to kill. By which the community itself becomes a safe haven for murderers and an unsafe and deadly environnent. This trickles down to society as a whole. The crabs in a barrel mentality. The envy the next mans success to the point you will take his life for your selfish appeasement. To whats not yours because its easier than going out and getting your own. We are OUR OWN WORSE ENEMY. And this has nothing to do with musical content. We've been killing eachother in these streets before HIP-HOP. Now that HIP-HOP is here it has become that body to which we can do what we always do. Use as an excuse to point the finger at. Wake the fukup!!!!. We are far beyond blaming "THE WHITE MAN" its time to start taking the responsibilty of ourselves. And hold ourselves accountable.
A lot of ignorance in black culture and in Hip-Hop. They are killing each other. Why isn't there an outrage for change? It almost seems like it's the norm now a days.. go ahead let the internet bullies come out and bash me for this.. I'm ready!
Yeah i feel u jadakiss but yall play a part in a lot of things i remember my self reaching out to u in harlem n u did nt really understand u said whats up dough but i ask u for weed to get familiar with you i had my radio on me n they played a biggie song i turned it all the way up left u n i know you heard it then next thing later u drop the letter to big n u did nt just call me back n ask yooo u rap are nothing like that may be i did nt say nothing right like i like u since. I was a kid n i want to do n this that n the third blah blah stuff so i cant through that you but i sure could tell u this i ask so many others to put me on but they said no i feel u for doing that song about big i respect it dough when i was a kid i was locked up n i predicted what was going to happen to him when he went to la it was crazy i liked both artist tupac n biggie it was the best era at that time to me tupac was out spoken had. A lot of heart n a lot of different type of talent dough but big was real ill with the flow but the point i am trying to say if yall really care about the music industry as artists n stuff yall will help people get on but also teach the do s n dont set the bar even higher n lead by exsamble things cause you never really help the person that need help way before time so he could help those who need help the next time while yall could have your own with out worrying about the industry having another bad history the next time n what i am saying applys to all basically even the people in the hood if we really want to change cause it believe it not if u a hip hop lover like i was it was would bother u too but to be hip hop shouldnt mean u cant tell the people the truth about life dough is what i am saying r.i.p to all the fallen shouldier. S i feel it more to the story on why rappers die coming. In to the game its more to it like how it happens you rich n every body gets away n this happen in differrent states n every thing is it a group of people that get together n. target u when u famous are something its crazy i feel like the people that killed tupac n big really messed up hip hop period cause a lot people was affected n died later n still is these day s for real n yall cant just follow trends are something n what i dint understand is how much hip hop is really own by a different color are some shh right n yall getting paid all that money not to be rascist but they ant really doing they jjobs right if all these things could happen need more training plus i wacthed every thing coming up we supposee to all have a freedom of speech n its. Something else killing us thats a little bars right there
I was delivering to shop around corner where xxxtencion was killed Why didn't he hit the gas and spin the car. He could have hurt and killed the shooter We heard gunshots but no one in the area will do anything till the shooting stops. The niggas are jealous and crazy
It's the only genre of music where people are showing off their jewellery and riches constantly. Along with dissing people.
self hate is real

But it is even more crazy how he made it out his hood and still died to street violence

Black people are their own racist and oppressors smh

A lot more will die if the following generation of rappers continue focusing on glorifying lyrical bullshit instead of lyrical empowerment.

Somebody was Jealous….that is all

The Most Respected on EVERY level need to lecture the word Respect… – b. Easy…
