RIP.

Sad day for hiphop.

Los Angeles Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff said Sunday night that he and Police Chief Michael Moore had been scheduled to meet with Hussle and representatives of Roc Nation, Jay-Z's entertainment agency and production company, on Monday to "talk about ways he could help stop gang violence and help us help kids."

To hit him like that in front of his store that is gang neutral and they shot him in front of his daughter too. It seems like a demonstration.

5 to the body and 1 to the head is a work of a real hitman.

It is just sad because the guy gave back to the community. He was one of the few rappers that came from the bottom and when he became successful he really tried to uplift people.

No one should be surprised.

It seems several times a year a rapper is being shot and killed. Something to do with their lifestyle, their music, their message, their associates, or what?

Here, this will confirm how dumb my statement is:

Over forty rappers shot and killed since 1987. Hmm, there's a message in there.

Then you give me a link of only 40 rappers that were shot and killed since 1987. 32 years and approximately 40 rappers. So an average of 1 rapper a year.

So you think there are only 40 rappers in all of hip-hop?

Not only was your statement dumb, you seem to lack knowledge on the topic.

Let's start with this one:
So you think there are only 40 rappers in all of hip-hop? . I assume you are referring to the 43 rappers that I mentioned above.
Well ADRiiAN, I feel safe assuming there are still some rappers alive which means there must have been more than 40 rappers in all of hip-hop. Right?
And now this one:
So an average of 1 rapper a year. No, it's more like 1.34 rappers. And if you look at 2019 stats, WOW, three already this year. That's well over the 1.34 average. Care to guess how many more rappers will die this year, or will it be just those three? Either way, 2019 blows the yearly average out of the water.
And finally:
Not only was your statement dumb, you seem to lack knowledge on the topic.
No, my statement was referring to FACTS ADRiiAN. We all know rappers are favourite targets when it comes to shooting practice. If anything is dumb, it's their lifestyle. And knowledge, hey, I just asked my friend GOOGLE.

There are thousands of rappers out there. Not all of them speak about gang violence. But that must be a very hard thing for you to comprehend, isn't it?

I guess if I said "All rockstars die of drugs". You understand the stupidity.
