I made a timeline of all the events that I could remember, plus used people's comments in here to find some ones I forgot or wasn't connecting. It's on page 20.

what I am seeing, is the connection between ANY of the killings of CMG/affiliates is not only weak by who was arrested, but also who was killed. Youngtaa's brother barely counts as a CMG guy. The dude's daughter barely counts. CEO Teezy barely counts a CMG.

you can easily make the case that most of them occurred for other reasons. It's mostly social media and fans hyping this whole thing up.

Not only are people's attention spans shorter, they are now wired to pick a side, which fuels all of this. There is nothing convincing linking all or most of these incidents, after 2021. There's a straight line on all the CMG/PRE incidents until 2017, and then it goes dark. It's a mystery, essentially who ordered Dolph's murder and why.
I want to connect some dots but I’m slightly afraid to do so publicly cause you never really know who’s reading…can I dm you?

right. and i can't prove a negative, that those killings weren't done for that reason, maybe they were.

but I can say that nothing else came of it, (as of now) and there is no known connection to Dolph's people for those killings. and that all those guys could be killed for anything.

Jook himself was a longtime cocaine trafficker at a fairly high level, and is now legit or semi legit, and way more on, that alone makes you a high risk victim. All those years in the game.

I know you usually on point but you missing the point

All these murders might not be connected directly ..but it's definitely the excuse those involved are willing to kill or die over

Dolph was LOVED by the young nikkas...not feared..nikkas like Jook you can tell straight out the 80s/90s...it's a badge of honor to still be seen with nikkaz on yo head...these young nikkaz fiending for your location thats they thing...old nikka died thinking he untouchable its that simple

It's not gone stop either cuz I read somewhere that funeral/repast was somebody highly respected...I'm sure they people mad somebody got killed at they funeral...Gotti might have to sit this one out...feds already watching...they not playing when they call south memphis Dolphland

Imo to bring it to the rap side its just like Durk and Thug...you can't be rich egging shyt on, funding shyt then try to play innocent rapper lol

nikkas is really catching Ricos and getting they people killed off rap it's crazy

The repast was for Big Eric Govan. Gotti and Jooks uncle by marriage. Nobody calls Memphis or South Memphis Dolphland. That’s internet bullshyt.

all good points

but the difference between random street killings done by crash outs who are already in the mix, and some kind of somewhat organized pattern of directed violence is a major one to me. And there's still only two, that are known, the daughter one is almost for sure not connected.

and killing for a personal reason, ON TOP of the whole two sides thing. sure. that's an example of what I am saying how dangerous all this social media shyt is. it's dangerous WITHOUT it.

yeah, if I was Gotti or his brother, I would be coming through Memphis like narcos, two suburbans, and 4 guys with you, two stay outside and two go in. No major public appearances.

To me everybody say Jook the gangster gotti just the rapper
I was living in Memphis in the 2002-03 school year, I was in 8th grade. I can't remember the radio station, but there used to be a morning show there called "Mike Evans In The Morning". That same radio station, during this same year, is around the time Yo Gotti debuted as a rapper...

I remember hearing Gotti on this segment they would do on Friday nights (I think it was Friday) pushing new Memphis artists. And back then there was a website called "memphisrap.com" that had a bunch of music from around the city. So I was aware of Gotti as early as 2002, right when he first started bubbling locally...

Ridgecrest where Gotti is from, is literally maybe 5 minutes from this block we went to church on:


This church used to have a different name 20+ years ago, and this was a time my mom was in a religious phase, she was the secretary at this church and (possibly, she'll never confirm it) she was in an affair with the married pastor of this church. So we were at this church and on this strip alot, the main avenue up the road called "Range Line Rd" used to be called "Hollywood Blvd" and there's a Church's Chicken we would hang out at, like it was a corner store...

We were from South Memphis, me and everyone my mom was related to or affiliated with, at this church in North Memphis. Every other kid we went to church with was from the neighborhood, including Ridgecrest. And my brother and I were 13 & 14 during this year, so we and other teens at that church were up to a bunch of sneaky shyt, not just sitting in pews, we weren't in the choir or ushers or nothing, we were just always there because our (step)mom worked there. We were tryna fukk and smoke and hang out and do a bunch of teenage shyt...

I'm giving this backdrop to illustrate that I'm familiar with not only the neighborhood Gotti from, I remember when he first started gaining attention locally, and for several years thereafter I followed his career. We knew kids that knew who he was. And he woulda been around 21-22 during the time I became aware of him...

I would say I was never a huge fan of Memphis rappers or Memphis rap in general, but Gotti was probably my favorite Memphis artist. As it stands now I haven't listened to a Gotti drop since maybe 2010. But he was my favorite local rapper for a few years of my youth, and I spent plenty of time in Memphis in years thereafter...

Gotti was a dealer from his section, I legit never even heard any assertions of him as this tough guy in any form, until the public issues with he and Dolph circa 2016-17. Nobody I knew back in the day viewed Gotti as a tough guy, but money changes people and it also changes people's perceptions of you...

He a street guy who came up dealing, was never at no major level but he wasn't a nobody. People in that Hollywood/Ridgecrest/Frayser region knew who he was...

Now I don't know anything about Jook, at the age I was around there and into Gotti I was into the rapper and the music. He may have always been the man behind the music but 13-14 year old me wasn't interested in faces behind the music and when I was a little older I was into my own shyt and not interested in anyone else's dirt. But Gotti was definitely a name in his section...
That’s just some bytch shyt

Where I’m from is small and everybody grew up with each other…when we got older, sides started forming and beefs took place…a few nikkas died…the homeboys of the deceased are currently cool with the killers/homeboys of the killers….nikkas cool with nikkas that shot them

Maybe I’m different because I’m a grudge holder and not an ass kisser, but I could never be cool or cordial with someone I was once at bloody war at…fighting is one thing…once lives get lost blood gets spilled, that’s a forever thing for me

It doesn’t have to be an eternal war, you can grow up and realize the shyt ain’t worth it, but we gonna have to agree to disagree with each other and move on…not hang out laughing and kickin it like you ain’t try to blow my head off a few years ago

Absolutely not

And this is another reason why I stay to myself and outta shyt…cause with my pride I’d crash out like a mf…I’m talkin bout going on a killing spree…I’ve visualized it…mapped out every detail in my head…numerous times

But how would my mama and kids feel with me being on death row

So I chill

But that being cool with nikkas who shot at, shot, and or killed ppl close to you is pure p*ssy shyt
I wouldn't say it's bytch shyt, shyt changes people in different ways...

So if this other dude put the hit out,then why is everyone acting like Gotti did it? I'm guessing these Memphis rappers would rather beef with a known rappers then some unknown street dude.
They are all connected :dahell:

Where are you from in the city, bro?

I don't keep up with Memphis trends, haven't been since my grandma's funeral in July 2017, and probably won't be back any time soon. I have an emotional connection to the city that just isn't easy to look over whenever I go back...

But I spent much time in the city over years, particularly in South Memphis. Westwood, Whitehaven, more specifically The Belts (Belz Blvd/S 3rd/Kansas). Lot of time in these areas in years gone by...

I'm outta touch and don't profess to be up to date on how nikkas talk now. But Memphis hoods are fairly large, I know plenty of cats fukked with Dolph but cats got they own issues and politics in different areas, I wouldn't expect the entirety of South Memphis to be behind any one person's beefs, it's way too much shyt going on at any given time 🤣...

The young dudes who killed Dolph at one point was locked in with him

It's a young nikka world.. cmg is old law brickman ruthless type nikkas..Dolph was fly weed man spread love type nikka...it's even a difference in they music

Dolph being dead is the reason

Every city got they own politics unfortunately it's being played out through the rap industry

I’m from the East (graduated Germantown, same high school as Jozzy) . Used to rap. Recorded in Traphouse (Lil Larry studio) Live in ATL now. Dolph was loved but that “Dolphland” is cap.
