might be overthinking it...but could it possibly be someone from say..a church group behind this after a few of his lyrics ?

Nah, I think it's the Bloods like Frankie Cutlass said. It makes the most sense.

Disappointing to see his mural get messed with like that

But hood politics are on some other shyt everywhere

 

[H.S.]

Apparently, it's Bloods that's doing it since they had beef with Prodigy. Might be cause Prodigy was beefing with Worm, and Worm is a high ranking OG Blood in SMM.

What was on that Instagram Fresh? Looks like it got taken down.

Frankie Cutlass posted it and took it down, then Cain from Money and Violence put it up and he took it down

Who knows why this is done but if P did something to you or one of your fam back in the day...did you or a fam member real dirty back before the fame...and you never got justice and saw the dude just get bigger and bigger as time went on...i mean throwing paint is some bytch shyt - but just because he was P and was a celeb and a rap icon doesn't mean he's immune to people not liking him. he seemed like a real gutter type of dude and for some people the dirt you did or the slights against people you made just doesn't disappear when you die. sometimes bells can't be un-rung for some people. im sure there are more than a few dudes in queens who are celebrating the guy's death as bad as that sounds for all of us fans

i can't see the landlord doing something like this because that wasn't a little throw up mural that shyt took time and money so im sure the landlord gave the dude permission


I want to touch on some things re: the area around QB ... especially to the dude who posted above who works in real estate (long post ahead)

i think the gentrification in NYC is more or less disgusting but that area is different. there was literally nothing in that area in LIC where all these new condos are being built. it's not like mad people got displaced for these buildings to go up. it was industrial or better yet post-industrial...a shytload of empty/ran down warehouses with a few row-homes sandwiched in-between (and the value of those has increased like 10x) ...and the queens bridge P's right there along side of it. It was no-mans-land and these developers basically created a new neighborhood. From what I hear a lot of QB residents aren't really mad at it because it brought a lot of new services to the neighborhood. QB has calmed down matter of fact they went a full 365 days without a murder (recently broken) and they have a crazy active and efficient tenants association. QB is one of, if not the oldest, housing project in America and definitely the biggest. NYCHA sunk a shytload of money into doing renovations the past few years. Those people aren't going anywhere and the work the tenants association, city counsel members, and QB community activists have done to turn that place around one day will be held up a model for successful public housing in america

If anyone is familiar with the area they know the crazy amount of apartment buildings that went up or are in the process of being built...these "luxury" high rises. an insane amount of supply. well...there really isn't going to be people to fill them. Even in Manhattan where all of the types of people who would live in these buildings, these out of towners, there is a crazy amount of "luxury" supply. To the dude above who works real estate...im sure you already know this. How are you gonna convince out of towners to pay $3,000 a month to live in Queens?? These places in LIC are gonna either sit empty for mad long or the landlords are going to have firesale prices to get people in the door. I remember about 10 or 11 years ago a new "luxury" building went up in East Harlem to ostensibly attract white people...well...the shyt sat empty for so long the owner entered the LINC program and started accepting vouchers for homeless people.

On top of that to take advantage of tax breaks and credits most of them are offering 20% affordable units with different ranges based on income. There's a huge building coming up on Jackson Ave (I think it's the development where 5 Points was) and one of the 2 towers is completely affordable units based on income. I'm not defending it...matter of fact I don't see how it's possible to add like 20,000 people to an area and think everything is gonna be gucci with the current infrastructure which is old and shytty. But the LIC situation is much different than what has happened or is currently happening to neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I think NYC is on it's last leg of gentrification. NYC's bubble has just grown more and more and it's bound to pop. Wait until they start taxing HEAVY on foreigners who warehouse luxury real estate in NY for an investment, on top of the death of retail stores and all those commercial spaces with balloon mortgages...the bubble will pop...and it probably won't be pretty. If anyone lives in NYC and makes under $120k a year and plans on staying here I suggest applying to every affordable housing lottery there is under your name and every one of your relatives names

That is what I have been saying at the NYC gentrification thread in the root(you should post this there). They are building mad condos in downtown Brooklyn but those same condos lay empty. At some point the investors want to see a return of their investments. This construction and condo boom is similar to what the city went through during the depression up until the 1960s. This isn't sustainable. There is alot of supply but no demand for these high rise condos in Manhattan,Queens and Brooklyn. I see all these condos in Brooklyn but no one is living in them. And retail stores everywhere are closing like crazy. In my neighborhood there is a mini mainstream on 9th Ave in Sunset park. So many Bodegas,bakeries,delis get closed and open and close again. The cost of operating retail stores is hurt name brand ones too. I think it was on Crown Heights or East Flatbush that a Starbucks got closed down. I agree the gentrification bubble will burst.
