This lil rapper from my hood got killed

Trips me out because I was just talking about him recently, saying he's wild for the shit he's been saying & having the gang flags all over his video while he says it.

From that alone I was like "Damn this foo ain't gonna last long, he's tryna start wars"
& Sure enough he just got hit with multiple bullets in a targeted hit. He's dead now.

I literally just called it a couple weeks ago. MF's tryna represent the streets & forget what comes with it 🤦 I don't really feel bad I just think it's wild. Coming from that life I understand it too well. The kid was barely 19.

Nobody would like the song but I'll include it anyway 🤷

Doesn't help that the media, at least for a while, glorified street gang life. Kids really are influenced by what they see in media.

Some people think they are ready to die or maybe go to prison for what they believe in but they forget that once you are dead or incarcerated, you are useless to whatever lifestyle or movement you are trying to perpetuate.

@Punches very true. I blame the media for making kids think it's cool too. I see so many young people end up dead over gang shit & the sad thing is a lot of them were never real gang members. They just woke up one day & gave themselves a title. Heard a song & decided that's what they want too. I'd say thats what 85% of rap is too, fake gang members who simply glorify the life.

This guy was a real gang member even though he looks goofy. I also notice that his death was not reported in any media at all. Funny how the fake shit gets more attention than the real shit

Too many musicians out there are fake. When we were young though we didn't know any better.
Not until somewhere between ages 18 and 22 does reality jack slap us into the ways of the real world.

I have never had any affiliations with gangs. I wonder though, for people that did, how do they even escape that life? Once we adapt to a certain lifestyle, it can be very hard to escape.

@Punches the only way you escape is by running. You gotta separate yourself & when you do, your gang will want you dead so you spend the rest of your life running from that life even though you already left.
That's why people get stuck in it
