He ain't gon make it

I had to dive back into this shyt for a hour or so, I'm glad to see P. Rico and Recklezz still living strong I didn't even know Lil Mister got killed or maybe I just forgot

If things were different man all of these dudes would be the GOATS of their subgenre, especially since he made No Lackin'

New footage (before the shooter's SUV arrived)



Who got there first and how was Quando out there by himself before his boys pulled?

Whatever was going on behind the scenes between the two, Quando had to know it was on sight

Looks like Rondo was in a different car and went to his boys car to talk about something.

He was the one the opps even had respect for because he really wasnt on the dissin dead homies tip. He never really dissed period. Most his disses would be in general.

Yeah Fredo got the most respect because he didn't disrespect and rode for his side when needed, not just to "set trip" like all the others. Money respects money and shooters respect shooters.

Even in beefs where people are dissing a whole crew, there's almost always one head person that doesn't get dissed or mentioned because of respect (Biggs from Rocafella, Slim from Cash Money, Boz from No Limit, Fredo from 300, Adam from All Money In, etc).

Apologies in advance for this long post but I’ve really got to express my feelings on this whole issue.

When I was a teen I would’ve been :gladbron: at him jumping Rondo and saying at least a rapper lived up to his raps. In fact, as a teen I was devastated when 50 exposed Ross as me and my friends really though he ran the black underworld :mjlol: but as a black man nearly the same age as King Von this shyt is beyond sad. I didn’t even like King Von but I’ve taken a break this week from all negative rap and have just been listening mostly to neo-soul.

This issue is deeper than rap but we can’t deny rap validates and glorifies this lifestyle. Even squares like Drake have changed to a more gangster image. I was listening to NWTS a few weeks ago and he was saying basically ‘I didn’t grow up in the hood but I’ve visited a jail before’:why: like why does your blackness need to be validated by such a negative experience? Now this same Drake is saying ‘sick of these nikkas, sick of these nikkas, hire some help, get rid of these nikkas’:mjpls: and we’re just cool with it. Some of these rappers sound more like white supremacists.

I suggest every black person reads ‘post traumatic slave syndrome’ as the sister that wrote the book articulates my point better than me. Basically, we have been taught not to value our lives or other black lives. These same dudes get harassed by police every day but wouldn’t even consider shooting one yet would start beef with a brother just for looking at him the wrong way. Reason being they know there’s no consequence in killing their own and even if there was, they already see their own life as meaningless so they don’t fear any consequences.

I was watching the Malcolm X film yesterday and one part stood out for me. He wanted to be a lawyer but his racist teacher shot down his dreams and that led to him being a street hustler. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you see it since the Nation killed him) he found his purpose in jail and crucially a FATHER FIGURE to model himself after since the KKK killed his real father. But these hood dudes don’t have father figures as their dads are either dead or in jail. It’s a crazy endless cycle. This is the system white supremacy has intentionally built to keep a lot of our brothers and sisters down.

The solution is clear, the hood needs positivity and opportunities so they feel they have value and a purpose. However, it’s been a lot harder to execute and we know why :mjpls:. Finally, these rappers and labels as a whole need to stop promoting such negative music. Of course these killings were happening long before rap existed but that doesn’t mean rap is blameless.
I get what youre saying...and I used to think like this.

but imo its not even that deep.
The hood is the hood because poor people in urban areas act a certain way...
...and black folks have attached the poverty mindset to our identity.

To most of us...not accepting the poverty mindset is shunning your blackness.

I say this because the hood was the hood before black folks got there...
...and you see it in other countries like Guatemala, or in certain Eastern European countries....
...there were Italains, Jews, Irish, etc... in the hood before we moved up north.
(for example, the Italian mob generally shook down other Italians)

Attaching "white supremacy" to it makes the issue seem more complex than what it is.

Want a strong black unit?
we have to give up all the nonsense we love...and renounce the bullshyt...
...but we wont, because its apart of "being black"

I remember my dad telling me about this time in middle school where him and a bunch of other kids were fighting right on the outside of the school, and some dude at the red light yelled “AYE y’all quit fighting each other and go fight some white people” and he’s carried that with him ever since :dead:
