Yung LA. I straight feel bad for the dude. He disappeared, definitely can't get any sort of job in the real world, and he is too 'famous' to move in the streets if he had to resort to that. that big ass face tattoo did him no favors. its especially sad since him and J-Money kinda birthed that whole sound and style that turned into whatever Atlanta is known for at the current moment. If he played his cards right he could have been the big homie down there by now (to some people, at least)

Not a rapper, but Vybz Kartel. Dude was one of my favorite Dancehall artists, until this happened:

And this happened:

Reggae star Vybz Kartel sentenced to life in prison for murder

I don't think people understand how much of a role Yung LA played in the role of the current sound of Atl music. After the heavy drug use, that big ass tat on his face and getting beat up on camera, I knew it was a rap for shorty

Or some shyt .. like pedophile behavior ? If u were ah African Bambaataa fan ? Lol like die hard? And the proof has been proved? .. still gettin down with the Zulu Nation? Lol

Yes if the proof is out that a person has done that Im not listening to their music.

But little shyt like oh they are disrespectful to their moms, or they got robbed, or Rick Ross lying about being a cop or Lil Kim bleaching herself to turn to a CaC etc. Stuff like that irrelevant to me when it comes to listening to their music.

Closet person that got to murder where im still listening to their music is Chris Brown tho:francis:

Even mentioning ross in this thread just shows you how dope that guy is and how high the ceiling was at his peak and potentially still is

The man can actually be argued as a top 5 all time and is still richer than most of the biggest rappers past & present.
