This is what you started with.
I explain to you the relation.
Then you try to switch up your premise and straw-man me with these answers.
Let me take it further for you why this death has to do with Hip-Hop. Jas Prince Jr son of James Smith aka J Prince who is the CEO of MOB TIES and RapALot4Life also involved in HIP HOP was supposedly providing a safe environment for other Hip Hop artist Takeoff and Quavo. So apparently this occupation requires you to check in with local rappers when traveling. Migos needed to check in while in Houston to ensure their safety. But look what happen. Thats what his occupation had to do with his death.
See you want to side step the obvious and continue to make excuses. Its lazy thinking to see this as only a matter of personal responsibility as if thats all it takes to correct this. Then the fake ass concern with mental health (the white killers sympathy excuse)
No other music genre has to deal with “checking in” “Mob ties” constantly having to worry about their venues being shot up and being shot or killed or their fans being shot and killed. No other genre encourages violence toward those they disagree with, no other genre promotes gangbangin, and drug use as a lifestyle yet you say its has nothing to do with Hip Hop. Stop making excuses.
Hip Hop music has been trying to straddle the fence for too long trying to be in “The Life” and being entertainment.
And that's why the shit will continue. Niggas are too prideful to say "this is wrong and
we are the ones who keep doing it". It's a culture that has everything to do with deviant shit and violence and motherfuckers want to act like it's poignant and meaningful. I always use the lyrics to Knife Talk as an example because the shit is so egregiously violent:
I gotta feed the streets, my pistol gon' bleed the streets
Ski mask on my face, sometimes you got to cheat
To stay ahead in this bitch-ard (Gang), drank syrup like it's liquor
Let it bang, bang, let it bang, bang
'Til his brains hang and his mama sang
And the pastor sang and them bullets sang
And them choppers sang and the choir sang
Gang shit, that's all I'm on
Gang shit, that's all I'm on
Nigga, gang shit, that's all I'm on
Many times, plenty times, I survived
Beef is live, spoiler alert, this nigga dies
When I first listened to this song (on satellite radio), I almost had to pull over. It's utterly depressing what qualifies as "the culture" nowadays. Anyhow, I reference this because the two men who sing this were born in places
outside the US, but came to THIS country, involved themselves in a genre created by ADOS and this is their contribution..
But even if they were born in this life, why is THIS the shit that repeatedly gets written, promoted and played REPEATEDLY? Why is THIS the image that overwhelmingly represents young black men and presented to the word and most importantly, consumed by youth that's impressionable and programmed with such low vibration.
I won't even get into that checking in bullshit because I said something on that earlier, I will add that it's laughable that as a black community, we don't
exercise HAVE any collective power, don't own anything significantly, but yet feel entitled enough to have this false sense of ownership ONLY WHEN IT COMES TO OTHER BLACK PEOPLE. As someone mentioned earlier, some clown in some city didn't dare pull that shit with white artists at the same time they were spewing that checking in bullshit.
I can't see anyone in Houston or any other city telling Morgen Wallen to "check in". And that's a dude who revealed how he regard your black asses....
But I digress...
