Is this considered snitching by Bun B? UPDATE: His victim's mother speaks

[GilSho]

He's changed his image to jolly old man now but this brother earned his fame/fortune by rapping about robbing and killing other black men. Selling drugs to the community, not snitching on criminals and pimping women. The usual street shyt thousands of rappers like himself have peddled to black youth.

He's no Childish Gambino or Chance the Rapper.

And as early as 2022, only 3 years after his wife was robbed at gunpoint he didn't denounce of any the shyt he rapped about on those records.

This is him defending an alleged murderer and proud gangbanger like Young Thung

Bun B offered a passionate assessment of this practice, furthering the reality that Black art is appreciated but not legitimized. “Hip-hop is always looked at as cool like the culture is cool. It’s fun, it’s hip, it’s edgy, it’s all that, but it’s never described as art,” the “Get Throwed” rapper said

“It’s never put in that box. It’s never labeled as such. Which allows them to denigrate the culture… It allows it to label it outside everything they deem classy or worthy or of value. It’s very easy to devalue hip-hop culture by using lyrics like they put up on there to literally box everyone in under that one thing.” He punctuated his message with the resounding statement that “When YSL is on trial, hip-hop is on trial.”

Him denouncing anything criminal related wouldn't have meant shyt. People been robbing since the days of the daggers and then some. Criminality predates hip-hop and anybody acting otherwise has pudding for brains and is probably a sissy

And he's right, same as it is with black folk. Mfers love to internalize the absolute worse that cracker society and their contradictory ways bestows without any wherewithal to call it out for the bullshyt it is.

Even if what you write is true (and it isn't) how does any of this make him a snitch? How is he involved in the home invasion of his house, directly?

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

No. They never co-signed getting robbed.

Heads are romancing the idea of a then 20 something young rapper's mindset to a 40s to 50 year old in modern time. A whole difference in getting in the booth as a youngin spitting about murder, snitches, and "bytch ass nikkas", versus being settled from that lifestyle as you was an entertainer first, having to see some crash dummy put a glock to your wife's face asking for material that's outdated like the rhymes about snitching.

This "keeping it real" persona needs to fukking die because Bun been on head above the clouds timing since the Pimp died (RIP).

So what would you prefer him do?

Wasn't he working as a professor at a college

Apparently...you got to die on a rep as a wood grain, pistol packing, dope dealer, money maker because you said it on "Riding Dirty". Instead of spitting on the side for capping entertainment purposes, along with flipping burgers, pushing the woodgrain minivan, and having a productive life outside the raps

 

[FS4LFE]

This is what happens when you join the street life. People treat you like robots and expect you to be an emotionless gangster your whole life. Especially black men.The black community spends so much time glorifying counterproductive shyt like a street code. Part of the reason we can’t protect our communities is because you got civilians talking about “snitching. We’re 400+ years behind playing catch up and this is the shyt we’re worried about?

 

[Knockout_LR_Freshmart]

It's only snitching if you're ratting out someone you were committing the crimes with (or it's a misdemeanor that affects no one).

As you said in the OP, Bun's a jolly nice guy now, it would be seen different if he was perpetuating a gangsta image irl and then breaking down.

Even then, in the moment of the act, he shot the guy

This idiotic 'g-code', 'code of the streets' nonsense needs to go in the trash where it belongs. Folks can't even be regular citizens. Somebody breaks in his house and puts a gun to his wife's head, but he needs to 'let it go' because 'you should never wish jail on your worst enemy.' However, it's fine to break in peoples' houses, kill and steal though. However, it's fine to bring a pistol and drugs in your friends' car and don't claim your work if you get pulled over by the cops, but instead let your friend take your case. All of these negroes dying over some code that's going to see them underground or in a cell with their 'og' who is going to try to snatch some of them buns

With that said, I can't be mad at people going in on Bun though because he was one of those pushing 'the code' in his music.

 

[fscballin]

OP wtf?

 

[F*ckthemkids]

So lemme get this straight. Some crash dummy breaks into his home, puts a gun to his wifes head, he wings the dude, gets caught and he's not supposed to testify against him?
