It's sad to think that all of this could've been avoided. And even more sad, this shyt isn't over

In addition to Spencer’s remarks, the service included the reading of a letter of condolence said to be from President Joe Biden and the Biden family. Yo Gotti is part owner of the Major League Soccer Team DC United and had met first lady Jill Biden in conjunction with a youth soccer program in Washington last year. Gotti also attended a White House holiday event in December.
I had no idea Gotti was tapped in like that...
Once he got with Jay and Roc Nation, his whole career arc changed and bent toward that kind of high level networking. It's stunning how far he came.
So many of my boys just loves Dolph for being a "regular guy" (which I kinda read as stunted sometimes) ) but what they miss is how much a) that contributed to his death, and B) why Gotti keeps moving further up. They kind of revel in that, and I get it. Real street shyt and all that.
As much as he mirrors Jay in business and in kind of ideology, this is that classic Streets is Watching moment, "If I shoot you..." There's no more second chances, no club shootouts, no more shooting up vans and beating the case, no shyt you just get away with for being young and lucky. The thing is Gotti has been rapping about this moment his whole career, when he would be back in Memphis in handcuffs.
Gotti has so much to live for now, so much to enjoy, to work for, to work towards. Out in LA, at events in DC, running in powerful circles, houses in the Hollywood Hills, and now his brother executed in Memphis, in the classic movie/rap/real life third act development, of streets pulling you back in. That Carlitos Way, Godfather 3.
he now has to either take that hit, his own brother, killed pretty much in front of him --and just move forward, or he finds himself in that YSL territory where you are passing messages to third parties and trying to get someone dropped, with federal and local law enforcement looking right at you. it's a fukking wild scenario, and I'm sure he has good counsel on it. But, I'm not sure what I would do. Would my brother want me to risk everything I have and my family for a tit for tat killing? Could I live with myself if I fumble this now? Can I live with myself if I don't? and have all these nobodies in Memphis calling me p*ssy. He has to have a lot on his shoulders.

Brooklyn the planet...
Oh wow me Jook and Beyonce have the same bday
Leave it behind.
Sad to say but his brothers death could signify the end of that era.
It’s time to leave the streets alone and elevate
At the end of the day, there are real street nikkas on one side, and snitches with guns on the other side. There's nowhere the beef can go to for the real side to come out on top, because the other side will just tell whenever they take a loss.
Nice, did they ask you to give the Eulogy?

Memphis has always been rough but it was never as bad as it is now...
Memphis is averaging 316/year this decade-to-date, homicide rate average of 50.45. That's awful...
By comparison:
San Diego 54/3.89
Raleigh 34/7.19
Sacramento 48/9.17
Memphis has more than twice as many homicides on average as these 3 cities combined...
Knew a sista from Memphis through a EDM group I was in . Best friend was murdered by her ex boyfriend. Believe this was it .
Memphis man convicted for fatally stabbing teen ex and dumping her body on street
fukked her all up . Like a slow, steady death mentally years later.
