One of my boys ig handle is his hit song. I relate to that though man he really had motion at a point in time and now it was probably eating him up that he was going broke or not as on as he used to be. That’s why I wouldn’t want to be in the industry rest in power I’m already anticipating people shiťtiñ on him because he took himself out

If I had it my way, I would just enjoy getting Bandcamp funds and indie money, versus the bullshyt folks have to deal with in this demonic industry. Dude deserved more than the hell he endured.

It really hurts because mans really wanted to revolutionize the game. Dude gave us crash out tunes for the smoke against the oppressors:



fukk man....this shyt hitting me like Shock G and DOOM passing breh.


From the career side I can only imagine the feeling of always being in the mix and influencing things yet never getting credit, seeing everyone pass you then the health stuff sort of becomes the icing on the cake then who even knows how his family and relationship life was. That shyt takes a toll and then you got nobody to talk to about the issues especially today where you will just get roasted about everything, then you just start questioning if your existence is worth it.

It's easy to laugh at people when things are on the up for you but when you in that spot all the "alpha your way out" sound good but reality is different. I always kinda felt bad for dude because you can see he was talented and wanted to be liked/appreciated and that probably ate him up. Me personally I just want money fukk the fame but I still had empathy just because as a black man I know we got lieterally no where to go often times with our problems.

RIP to him if true man, I was 14 when Maco/Que/Makonnen/Rich Homie/Thug/Tracy T/Jose Guapo/Migos was popping off, I used to bump Maco and Makonnen a lot and I’m from Chicago. ATL wave was heavy in early high school

And this is exactly why you pay no mind to the gossip sites, even if they might guess something right one time in a thousand.

Message to the youth,dont ever think suicide is the answer. At least give it until your 50 or 60. Because i can promise you from 15-20,to 20-30,to 30-40 can be completely different eras for you. If your actively trying to better yourself,its almost impossible to not have a nice run in there somewhere. Hopefully you can build on that run. If not,enjoy the memories and hope another run happens. Its actually alot like the music business,many artist become filled with bitterness behind being a one hit wonder. But some of us will be granted one hit,some will have sporadic hits,some will have longevity from start to finish. Understand your lane and talent level and move accordingly. Some of you will need money aka a "machine" to find success/happiness like industry plants. Some of you will need antics to gain the attention and success you seek:respect:

It just blows me that heads think of him as the "U Guess It" guy, instead of somebody that actually was multi talented concerning the Cloud Rap steez. That's why it's important to be around those that actually five a damn about your well-being, or do things on your own because this world is getting colder by the millisecond.

I wonder if he truly had angels by his side telling him "breh just trust me, it will get better"

Like some old head saying some real shyt, but Maco scoff it off because depression is a mofo. Why this old nikka talking to me, like he don't know what I'm going through at this very minute. But here this old nikka go.

The same groundhog day experience, but too broken to even take heed on the process of life.

This is fukking me up breh :mjcry:
