See shyt like this is a just a lose-lose situation for street rappers like Pop. You give up the jewels and now his gangsta image gets fukked up and his career might not bounce back. He fights back and shyt like this happens.

This quote encapsulates the difference between what rappers sell, and real life. It's only a lose-lose situation in rap...

In the real world dudes are giving up their shyt. You know how often some real solid nikkas get vic'd in a robbery? This is normal in the lifestyle, yet hip hop messaging tells you that it isnt, and if you're approached in a robbery you better go out guns blazing or you're some hoe ass nikka...

Whenever the lines in hip hop became blurred and the rappers were shown to start actively portraying the streets it fukked up the young and/or gullible who are too green to know the difference. And to be honest with you, alot of these young dudes ain't been around long enough to be able to reason with the impact of what they're chasing...

In the real world if you aren't ready to die, you let them dudes take whatever they need if there's no win there. It certainly doesn't mean they won't kill you anyway but as the homie @Double Burger With Cheese said upthread, most robberies don't end in murder or even have the initial intent of murder; way, way more stick ups going on outside than actual homicides. But you let that shyt go, and if you're really cut like that you'll see them dudes down the line, but the reality is "get back" isnt always correlated with killing the dudes that robbed you, either...

All this hip hop shyt in fanatical, you don't get this education listening to "street" rappers, most those types aren't to the core cut from it anyway. This idea that you gotta either fight for some replaceable materials or you're a hoe, you're not wrong, I'm just pointing out that this is hip hop imaging, it's not an accurate reflection of what being outside is like...

I just have a real beef with the way cats discuss rappers and "street politics" at this stage of my life, and an even bigger issue with the excessive marketing of supposedly "street" rappers and their ideology...

The investigator went on to say that the woman, who was with Pop Smoke the night he was tragically killed, spoke to law enforcement following the fatal shooting incident.

"She heard a struggle coming from the shower area and heard Mr. Jackson screaming," Detective Carrasco said. "Mr. Jackson ran out of the bathroom and then she heard a loud pop and [heard] Mr. Jackson fall to the ground."

Referring to the woman's account of what happened the night of Feb. 19, 2020, the detective added, "Two other individuals began to kick him."

The investigator continued, saying the rhymer got up and ran downstairs. "She hears two more pops," he shared. "She follows Mr. Jackson, sees him on the ground and screams for Michael [Durodola] to call 911."

Actor Michael Durodola, a.k.a Mike Dee, was reportedly at the home with Pop that night as well.

Where was Michael when the attack took place?

Has he publicly commented about this?


I hope I’m wrong but some of the details in this story leads me to believe this was a set up.

Albeit true, he died in a way that reflected some of da same exact shyt he'd be kickin' in his raps about drillin' on opps, spinnin' on nikkas & other destructive shyt. Which brings me to this: if it was just another one of these rap nikkas, or hell, a civilian, would you still feel da same??? Personally, I think you and others feel as intensely about it da way that you do because y'all liked his music and he put on for da city.



Exactly. Most of these dudes are hypocrites
This is truth

“send the addy we gonna slide”


I’m not sure why they think pop wouldn’t have done This same thing with his crips in nyc if they had the drop
