Im talking about the culture. Urban America. Those guys were huge from where I stand and observing the listening habits of people around me and venues and functions I frequented. I’m not talking about crossover or being pop which usually means having a massive white fanbase. I don’t even remember the last time I even heard nikkas in NY even bumping Kendrick Lamar and he’s a superstar. These guys that died were huge in the culture.

You're overinflating the importance of a few insignificant pockets of society. "The culture" as you call it is outnumbered as far as money and influence goes, unless the circles you roll in are specific to this sliver of society.

I'm def not reading the whole thread but has it been determined that he was shooting dice at 3:00am with some hood nikkas somewhere or is that false?

So nikkas was arguing over basketball and somebody swung and shots went off just like shorty in twitter said. Smh

do white killas come thru white artists set like this? or maybe all white artists check in...but we don't have an issue in the black community tho

I mean only a small percentage of blk ppl doing the killing...young blk men

In addition young blk ppl are more likely to be unemployed and impoverished compared to their non black counterparts due to systematic racism, etc

The issue is complex and I hate to introduce toxic masculinity into the convo but when we look at who is more likely to commit violence crime /school shooting stats its men across the board

So dont think it's fair to put the onus and all the blame on the entire blk community

Also worth noting that violent crime has declined across the country since the 80s, 90s, while rap/ hiphop has increased in popularity

Sad situation tho. Didnt realize Take was that young.

Many years ago, 2010, I was playing spades in the projects, one of my boys and his cousin and his cousin's girl. And me and the girl got real crazy with the wordplay, my boy had to diffuse me and his cousin from turning it into something else...

I've been on cell blocks where shyt goes left over gambling on anything, dudes get jumped or cut or robbed, all that...

I don't know if you assumed I wasn't aware of this, but I already know these situations can get hectic really fast. Extremely, extremely rare for a dust up about monopoly money and Uno to end in homicide, it doesnt happen to any measurable degree...

But it isn't rare for dice games to turn violent which is the topic that poster and I were talking about...

Got a childhood friend locked right now for point blanking somebody over dice.

Dusty Crabs in the barrel breh.....don't blame this on masculinity...this is the result of a single parent home.

Men can't control their emotions if raised by a woman...

So a dusty crab got offended and started blasting...an emotional female reaction...

Generation of crash test dummies...

Takeoff himself wasn’t but the rest is basically true.

Dumbasses use guns for any and everything now, pathetic as fukk

Cant even have an argument in the 21st century without the possibility of getting harmed by a weapon. Dont get me wrong people been killing over problems forever, but it’s damn near everyday now it feels like

the onus is on the black community to stop devaluing one another, yes, that's a collective thing, not just the killers. lack of value is learned well before someone takes a life

and you can try to conflate this to a systemic racism thing, when it's not. if we control for economics, black men are killing each other at a higher clip than poor white men. yes, black men face other systemic obstacles but trying to paint their economic position as the reason they kill as much when other groups in the same socioeconomic bracket don't as an excuse doesn't fly

that's great that violent crime has decreased, but it's still disproportionately affecting black men. homicide is the leading cause of death for black men under 44, 35% for black males under 19, 27% for 20-44....every other group it's illness or accidents...but let's celebrate the US's collective stat on crime going down (which also coincides with black incarceration rates going up) as a win

Lack of critical skills and thinking and resigned for a life sentence in prison or getting killed as payback...

If they don't value themselves, then they value nothing.

Looks like Quavo wasn’t even the one who swung first. Looks like he was running AFTER whoever swung on him and then the shots let out

This is a hip hop board though at least here it should matter
