I just wanna say you're a great poster; and I appreciate you......
BUT...
you stay sounding like Carlos Brigantine in the club with Benny Blanco
thats you to the T
like my man bandanna Santana once so prolifically said
"now if this aint gangsta
and that aint gangsta
then what is gangsta
"
I get it. I can't apply what shyt looks or feels like to me, to you. I just know what shyt is to me. I've been charged once with attempted murder. I've been investigated once for another attempted murder, once for a murder, not charged in either situation...
So I've been around many, many other people who were living that gunplay. My experiences shape my perspectives, that's it and that's all...
You been around enough people who have killed, dealed, robbed. To some people every single one of those people are g's or real nikkas. Every jail and prison in America has plenty of people with those charges (killing, robbing, dealing charges), I can tell you all those people don't view each other like g's...
It's one of those things that's open to interpretation, I guess...
Involving yourself in a beef unrelated to you isn't gangsta to me, regardless of what the outcome is. You kinda out yourself by putting your name in that in the first place, and I judge nikkas based on what their character shows they are, not who can pop off on something---->this is likely a characteristic developed by being around many people like this...
So if everyone can or has shot something, and a number of those guys are leaders and have hitters, do I respect them all or view them all as "real ones"? Nah and if every nikka outside respected or saluted each other, there wouldn't be beef at all...
Show me who you are and I'll go from there. The outcome only tells me how it ended...
The beef with Quando and Von didn't even involve Durk initially, right?
So even if he was roped in by association to Von, add this with the other situations people say he's gotten cats killed as a celeb, this is a guy with everything to lose, and moves as if he's a nobody in the Southside. That's gangsta to some people but there are real situations that happen----->me and you are close, but you get into a separate beef, ultimately ends in your death---->and people who recognize, or have people around them who help them realize, they shouldn't take up that issue in the moment or after your death...
I don't know dog, sounds like a lot of explaining
it's easier to identify to me than to explain, because these situations really happen. It's just alarming a guy of Durk's stature carries like this. He wouldn't live freely on the streets until age 32 moving like this if he wasn't a celebrity, that's 100% I'm certain of. Those guys have a short shelf life, he gets those football numbers much earlier or somebody goes ahead and takes him out. In the real world, No Name BD from the Southsidedoesnt have the power to flex himself outta (at least) 3 gun cases, an attempted murder, and (at least) 3 conspiracies to murder...
It's not unusual to see guys beat charges or get off cases, I've talked about cases I've beat or got away from without being charged. It is unheard of for a guy to be caught and charged with a gun 3+ times and nothing comes of it, in real life the state alerts the Feds way sooner. It's unheard of for a guy to be roped into so many different shootings and not be sat down once, ON TOP OF having possession charges...
I was told by a DA I couldnt get off scot-free on shyt because of what the reputation was, so either accept the plea or roll the dice for trial and take what comes with it. This is how I ended up with a firearm by felon conviction, and have never been caught with a gun...
But I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just giving my two cents on the whole shyt like everyone else, these are just my perspectives...
And I'm definitely not moved by nikkas arguing in a club
