New details on Pop Smoke murder :pacspit:

[tuckgod]

@tuckdog Anti-NY bias showing nothing new

Nope, just speaking truth.

Y'all nikkas crying over him like he was a choirboy.

That’s the life he signed up for.

 

[Big Boss]

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...

because they will look “soft”

Rather look "soft" than dead

nikkas in here are cold blooded, Pop did not deserve to die like that.

[khross415]

it amazes me when peopke make exuses for nikkas like Von & Pop Smoke. nikkas rap and talk shyt like they wit it but get caught lacking and its supposed to be tears and feeling sorry for them. Pop smoke shoulda left the otha shyt out and be just been a rapper gangsta , was tested and got bodied

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Think someone let them know to come since Pop was in the shower?

Nobody’s asking: who let them in?

There was a female there, that’s who should be questioned. There is no mention of security.

nikkas on the coli are quite literally walking L’s

Imagine being a tough little mini keyboard warrior and talking this tough to get a reaction...

but not realizing that your horrendous personality is something people irl have to suffer through, people close to you. Real loser shyt.

[drugxglory]

Reminds me of when rappers say they take the strap even in the shower

 

[UpAndComing]

I think cost plays a big factor, probably even more than image. Family and friends will do it for either free or very little money comparatively, while professional/high quality security detail will put a significant debt in your budget. Especially someone like Pop Smoke, who I'm sure was making very good money, but he's nowhere near pop star money or even top tier rapper money.

That's the cost of doing business

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Everyone involved in this deserves the chamber. They should put the jewels

in fact put those shiny rocks that they killed for in the chamber with them so they can see what they’re dying for

You ain't gotta be a street expert.

I ain't want nothing to happen to either of those young men. But unless we just gonna say they were both 100% lying in their raps, they have participated/contributed to the downfall of someone that looked just like them, directly or indirectly. How they ended up is about as surprising as the crocodile hunter getting killed by wildlife.

Doesn't mean you can't mourn him, but shyt needs to be put in proper perspective, especially in regards to this rap shyt because there is a large supply of young black men that can continue being run through this experiment.
