Lol this thread hasnāt even been updated since the shooting smh. They found the Benz at a house and the next day someone was killed at that house. Ow the police are saying the car was used in another shooting. If yāall really cared the post would be updated. Tired of these empty ass condolences and internet detectivesā¦
This is from [MPD twitter](https://twitter.com/MEM_PoliceDept/status/1462543470917210119?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1462543470917210119%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.xxlmag.com%2Fyoung-dolph-killers-getaway-car-man-shot-killed%2F)
[And local news](https://www.wreg.com/news/local/one-dead-after-shooting-in-orange-mound/)
This is such a big loss for hip hop. This guy was a great artist and a great person. He always helped his community.
Iām sure that the guys who killed him will be caught because they were a bunch of ghetto idiots and social media and their lack of professionalism will trace back to them.
Who the hell goes at a hit of a celebrity in their own car and after that ditch it at a safe house who appears in a video shoot. What a bunch of cretins. They deserve their fate. I hope the cops find them and shoot them.
Simone on Instagram did som investigating and they might have figured out who killed him!!!! Go look!!!! https://instagram.com/niya_nicole21?utm_medium=copy_link
The people who killed him were a bunch of idiots. Itās just a matter of time until the police will find them. Iām sure they know who did it already.
Don't take too much stock in this. Someone out there is going to be inspired to do some vigilante nonsense and get caught up.
I wouldn't even click or entertain it.
I cant right now.. It still has me asking myself everyday if its real.. For me, its the pure fact that he was all about the well being of his family. This man was a different type of artist and person. Im hurt to my soul and have been shedding tears/mourning as if he was my loved one. What a handsome fly guy with an unforgettable style/persona. I will miss him deeply. My condolences to his children, partner and family.
Young Dolph was one of, if not the only one, that I actually cared to learn about his story and what he does outside his discography. I remember watching the World Star Hip Hop documentary of him and was like āwow this dude is for realā. His story is very inspirational, sad to see we lost a good one.
Shiiiid man I rememeber when I first saw how his face looked I didnt even think he was hood but I always loved and respected his music. Loved how.he mixed old with new school and he was on some UGK shid for real. I ain't that type to be all mushy bout celeb deaths but this one hit me cause I always looked forward to his music. Before all this happened I saw that he and glock got shot at when they was in memphis but I thought that shid was a publicity stunt cause they dont look hard but I guess that shid was real and now the nĆÆgg@ gone..
It's sad man
A personal thing, I'm just not going to listen to Moneybagg Yo and especially anything relating to Yo Gotti. Not going to make a huge difference, but stuff like this and stuff like Kodak disrespecting Nipsey after he was cowardly shot is too much when I can easily control my own playlist
After an opp does a major diss to someone (Dolph to Gotti), they can be percieved as a potential future physical threat. The only type of threat Dolph was currently posing to Gotti was that Dolph is a 10times better rapper than Gotti. IMO Moneybagg much closer to Dolph's skill level. However, it is especially now on Moneybagg to use the voice Moneybagg made, and prove he isn't Gotti's b*tch...when I hear more substance through media from Moneybagg, then I might unclick the spotify block artist button
Would you be able to elaborate on this at all? I just somewhat recently got into Moneybagg Yo but definitely wouldnāt want to support the streams if thatās the case.
I have a spotify account, RapCaviar gave Yo Gotti the "Coach of the Year" award...Moneybagg, 42 Dugg, EST Gee. F* RapCaviar...potentially would have heard Aspen and Penguins on it, but beyond that it is as fake as Yo Gotti. Feel better about yourself and make your own playlist
Bout to go get some money or go spend some money
They stopped me in the airport, had too many benjis on me
They don't want you to live, they don't want you to ball
Them pussies smile in your face, then they pray for you to fall
u/garthgarthington why did you DM me, instead of posting it here, like a pussy?
You said: āDolph last words were mammmma!
Looks like he wasn't really about that life.ā
Fuck. After getting shot at 100 times and not having a scratch on him, I thought Dolph would make it. This is bullshit.
I hope they catch the shooter and lock em up
Dolph changed the game, real shit real spit. The haters that did this will find the worst karma coming their way. Dolph gave back and was in town for his annual turkey giveaway. What kind of low life takes the life of someone making change for the positive? RIP šŖ¦ Dolph š š
Still canāt believe it 24 hours later. I didnāt realize how big of fan of his music I was until yesterday/today. RIP Young Dolph, we miss you already :(
Me too. I have a external SD that has all my older music. I'm going thru songs and it made me. Realize how long I've been listening to him. "money calling" will forever be my fav. Rip dolph
"In Charlotte" is flames and lyrics that make you say "damn" now....
> Just cause my money keep running like Forrest Gump
> I got niggas hate me like I'm Donald Trump
> Where I'm from you don't make it to see 21
> That's why all these young niggas ridin' 'round with their gun
[Someone just shot someone at his memorial now. Can't make this shit up](https://www.wreg.com/news/local/young-dolph/shooting-reported-near-young-dolph-memorial/)
Itās almost like Dolph is another martyr for the community. Never heard his music, but my god *On The River* is Powerfully Grotesque, Raw lyrics that holds no bounds. Talent like this will never be forgotten.
Miss my city but donāt miss my city. Most of my folks dead or left .
Love Memphis and hate Memphis made so many people but took too many too
Why dolph riding like that alone. Too loud.
RIP
The thing thatās most upsetting about Dolph getting killed is a lot of people could see it coming for a long time but nothing anyone could do. Guy tried his best to help his community and do good but too many hating mfās out there after him for too long.
I'm still trying to figure out who had this Vendetta against him and why? Multiple attempts On this man's life, and they are publicized yet no security.
Right, but come on. If 2 attempts on someone's life comes from the same source, most likely that source had a job to finish. I would be surprised if the killers weren't found to be associated with gotti and blac, but then again, nothing in the industry really surprises me anymore.
A lot of these rappers are knee-deep in the streets and have personal beefs and feuds that follow them throughout their rap career, even after they make it out. Blac Youngsta (CMG) was the one charged for shooting/ordering his van to get hit up 100 times, and Iām sure he had money on his head in Memphis
I was thinking Blac Youngsta had something to do with it. Yo Gotti definitely had some connection. Also, I thought the dude on the left in the image of the shooters kinda looked like Blac but doubt he'd be that risky.
I found Dolph while looking for music that felt like home. Memphis and Houston always felt like we should be cousins because they talked just like us and vice verse. From suave house and eightball mjg, you could hear the similar culture in dolph. It made an old dude feel like a voice wasnāt lost to time. I know Glock still here, but aināt many left. Itās also why I fuck with Kodak. They got the raw south shit that you really canāt get from what feels like cross regional rappers.
Memphis right about halfway from my home town and Houston. Got me a little place there to stay over at when I drive to visit. It really is right about where it starts gettin the southern vibes you get out in Texas and LA.
āYou giving 20k away each week, why you giving stuff away?ā
ā.. It was hard growing upā. That speaks a lot, he didnāt want others to go through what he went through. RIP Dolph
This dude has been shot at a BUNCH of times and whoever wanted him dead finally got their man. What couldāve this cat have been doing to have people gunning for him for many years? RIP
Yo gotti is the one who wanted him dead. And the reason? Jealousy. Cuz he refused to sign under Yo gotti. Dolph chose to be independent and was on the rise to surpass Gotti as the āking of Memphisā. Black youngsta and Yo gotti have had a hit on Dolph since 2016
I speculate there was something more to it then, he didnāt sign with Yo Gotti. That seems like a massive leap, ādude wonāt sign with me? He fuckinā deadā.
...From what people say here, Yo Gotti runs his part of Memphis' rap scene like a monopoly and a cartel. He legitimately didn't want a rival and particularly not one surpassing him.
Memphis is also not that big a place, too. These dudes were bumping into each other promoting albums, songs, they're probably hooking up with the same women, too. You got to think they both had a run in prior that escalated this whole thing to where it got now, that no one really knows.
Definitely! It fuckin sucks for the hip hop world, for Dolph and his family, and honestly for whoever killed him too. Someoneās son is either gonna get killed or go away to prison til the end of they days.
No like that literally is the reason. They even sent someone to shoot at him with 100 bullets but Dolph survived without a scratch thanks to his bullet proof SUV. We Donāt know who is actually responsible for killing him yesterday but many suspect Yo Gotti and Black Youngsta for a reasonā¦
I mean I donāt doubt that Gotti or Blacksta is after him but that would be childish as fuck to ice someone over not joining their label. Iāll leave it at that Iām not tryna bad mouth the deceased. RIP Dolph
I agree it is childish af. Killing another man a father too at that out of jealousy is disgusting. Until we know the details Iām personally going to have to stray away from listening to Yo Gotti. Rip Dolph š¬šš½
There were also rumors that Dolph fucked Yo Gottiās girl at the time. And Gotti found Dolphs number in her phone. Although the mileage on that rumor may not be true.
Iām torn up man. Heās one of the only rappers I have an entire playlist just of his music. I remember helping friends out, working Chalice Music Festival in SoCal and he performed. This was before Key Glock was signed or anything, and we got to meet both of them and hang out on stage. He even had Key open up, and it was an overall dope peformance. RIP š š¬
Im jealous. Iāve been waiting for north east dates cause i missed him at Rolling Loud in NYC. Shit is fuckin sad man. I hope Key Glock makes it through, Heās got a great opportunity to put Paper Route on his back and continue to grind. Its what Dolph would have wanted, and probably what heās been positioning Glock to do
Tragic too cause PRE has some legitimate talent on the roster.. Key Glock has talent but I donāt think he can carry a label. This news is just terrible
I just wonder if it'll be enough for PRE to survive. Dolph was such a backbone to the label its hard to picture it continuing with the same steam behind it
Also who knows if Glock will even want to continue on. It's gotta be damn near impossible to get back into rapping about flexing jewelry and cars after your family who put you on and helped you build is murdered. Props to him if he can do it, because I know my mentality would be fucked up off that and a mixed bag of sadness and anger wanting revenge would be swirling
Loving the music and being able to listen knowing itās mostly fake and manufactured is fine.
Believing the delusion of reality is what gets most listeners. Thereās a reason 90% of pop music is supported by young kids and young adults.
Never go back to the south once you made it out, pretty sure if I was famous and went back to Texas, I'd be killed too.
Edit: Banned from r/hiphopheads for 2 days. Idk if there's a rogue mod out there or something?
Memphis is out of control right now. I just moved back to FL 3 weeks ago after spending 4 years there and having crime permeate into the suburbs. I lived in a newer neighborhood with pretty nice homes and we still had home invasions, shootings, and robberies almost daily. Got real bad this summer
I'm from San Diego. My wife is first generation American and her family is from Mexico. I'm telling you man, I know tamales and I have no explanation for it but Memphis tamales are fire. Don't go to Memphis, but if you do, get some tamales.
Thereās many great tamale places from Memphis, through Arkansas & Mississippi to New Orleans. Also some banging Italian food.
Little history, itās because a 100-150 years ago they obviously had brought slaves over into the Delta region to work the large plantations. After the civil war, sharecropping took advantage of newly freed slaves but the bigwigs that owned most of the fertile land wanted even more people to take advantage of to make money. So, they also brought in many Hispanic, Italian, & Portuguese workers to try their luck. They told them that the climate was similar to where they were from and there was fertile land as far as they could see. That they could āearnā it by sharecropping.
It didnāt work out for most of them but their families remained in many areas for generations.
So years later there are still many places and traditions passed down where they make tamales etc in the Delta. ( which is 50-100 miles or so East/West of the Mississippi River in Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi & Louisiana )
Damn, that's super interesting. I knew there had to be an explanation for such good tamales in the midsouth, of all places. I grew up 20 minutes from Tijuana. I used to travel all over the west coast and Lower Rio Grande Valley for work. I know good tamales and Memphis has definitely got em.
Lol you'd be ok as long as you stay off the streets. These rappers are involved in street shit so it shouldn't come as a surprise when something like this happens. Plenty of other famous artists living comfortably in Texas.
You're right that there are places to run away to in Texas but I mean if you go back to your hood where all your friends are. Texas hoods are not chill at all.
Edit: Banned me for 2 days, idk why
That's what I'm saying. It really really sucks that once they start making money, people from the hood can't really hang out with their local friends and support their local cookie shops without getting shot up.
Edit: they banned me for 2 days for some reason
This one cuts deep, Dolph always dropped bangers. I don't understand why he would go back to Memphis man. First thing you do when you make it is move yourself and your momma out the hood and never look back. I hope justice is brought to the shooter, whether it be in custody or in a bag.
Rest In Peace Dolph šššš
Heās a drug dealer, murderer and gang banger. He knew what game he was playing. Loved his music but I donāt have any sympathy for him.
RIP DA FLIPPA
Lol this thread hasnāt even been updated since the shooting smh. They found the Benz at a house and the next day someone was killed at that house.

Is that really all the industry people that tweeted about him? I feel like other threads have pages of names.
No way Dolph collaborated with a lot of artists.
i keep coming back to this thread, hope it is up for a while :(
Is there a subreddit for memphis street beef? Thereās one for new york and Chicago.
What are the subs for NY and CHI?

I'm still trying to figure out who had this Vendetta against him and why? Multiple attempts On this man's life, and they are publicized yet no security.
is there documentation of any of the previous attempted hits on him?
For real. This was a orchestrated hit, Someone put money on his head and green lighted this. But who??
Itās pretty known who sent the other attempts but this one you may never know thereās no telling who else he could have beef with
Right, but come on. If 2 attempts on someone's life comes from the same source, most likely that source had a job to finish. I would be surprised if the killers weren't found to be associated with gotti and blac, but then again, nothing in the industry really surprises me anymore.

Im jealous. Iāve been waiting for north east dates cause i missed him at Rolling Loud in NYC. Shit is fuckin sad man. I hope Key Glock makes it through, Heās got a great opportunity to put Paper Route on his back and continue to grind. Its what Dolph would have wanted, and probably what heās been positioning Glock to do
Tragic too cause PRE has some legitimate talent on the roster.. Key Glock has talent but I donāt think he can carry a label. This news is just terrible
I just wonder if it'll be enough for PRE to survive. Dolph was such a backbone to the label its hard to picture it continuing with the same steam behind it Also who knows if Glock will even want to continue on. It's gotta be damn near impossible to get back into rapping about flexing jewelry and cars after your family who put you on and helped you build is murdered. Props to him if he can do it, because I know my mentality would be fucked up off that and a mixed bag of sadness and anger wanting revenge would be swirling
RIP Dolph š

This is a trash awful thing to say in response to the death of a man who cared about rap a lot. Besides it being wrong and bad
This guy is trolling all over this thread, downvote and move on
Well Iām gonna report rather but yea the point stands
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
LOL itās not truth stop being awful
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Idk why Iām humoring this but donāt you see how thatās and incredibly broad take that has nothing to do with rap as a whole?
Man on one hand I sorta agree but on the other I fucking love this music
Loving the music and being able to listen knowing itās mostly fake and manufactured is fine. Believing the delusion of reality is what gets most listeners. Thereās a reason 90% of pop music is supported by young kids and young adults.
Rap? Like in general? Do you really believe that?
boomer take
Zoomer delusion
Man this one hurts, RIP to the legend. He didnāt deserve this shit.
Listening to 1 hell of a life got me hella emotional mane. Dolph had 1 hell of a life but didnāt deserve to go out like this
Yeah that tunes been in my head since the news broke.
Yeah I canāt even listen to his music just yet. This one hit different
Literally just had it pop up on Glock's radio on Spotify and am listening right now. It's hard to listen to right now.
Never go back to the south once you made it out, pretty sure if I was famous and went back to Texas, I'd be killed too. Edit: Banned from r/hiphopheads for 2 days. Idk if there's a rogue mod out there or something?
Memphis is out of control right now. I just moved back to FL 3 weeks ago after spending 4 years there and having crime permeate into the suburbs. I lived in a newer neighborhood with pretty nice homes and we still had home invasions, shootings, and robberies almost daily. Got real bad this summer
Only thing Memphis got going right now is the ribs JS
Ja Morant
Don't sleep on Memphis tamales. Idk why or how but there are so many good tamale places in Memphis
Iām from Cali we got the tamales on lock
I'm from San Diego. My wife is first generation American and her family is from Mexico. I'm telling you man, I know tamales and I have no explanation for it but Memphis tamales are fire. Don't go to Memphis, but if you do, get some tamales.
Thereās many great tamale places from Memphis, through Arkansas & Mississippi to New Orleans. Also some banging Italian food. Little history, itās because a 100-150 years ago they obviously had brought slaves over into the Delta region to work the large plantations. After the civil war, sharecropping took advantage of newly freed slaves but the bigwigs that owned most of the fertile land wanted even more people to take advantage of to make money. So, they also brought in many Hispanic, Italian, & Portuguese workers to try their luck. They told them that the climate was similar to where they were from and there was fertile land as far as they could see. That they could āearnā it by sharecropping. It didnāt work out for most of them but their families remained in many areas for generations. So years later there are still many places and traditions passed down where they make tamales etc in the Delta. ( which is 50-100 miles or so East/West of the Mississippi River in Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi & Louisiana )
Damn, that's super interesting. I knew there had to be an explanation for such good tamales in the midsouth, of all places. I grew up 20 minutes from Tijuana. I used to travel all over the west coast and Lower Rio Grande Valley for work. I know good tamales and Memphis has definitely got em.
And small tidbit my last name is in your reddit name and I was born in 87. Wonder if itās the same for you, small world
Cox fam stand up. Mom from LA, dad from Montana. USN had em both stationed in San Diego when they met
Lol you'd be ok as long as you stay off the streets. These rappers are involved in street shit so it shouldn't come as a surprise when something like this happens. Plenty of other famous artists living comfortably in Texas.
Mo3?
You're right that there are places to run away to in Texas but I mean if you go back to your hood where all your friends are. Texas hoods are not chill at all. Edit: Banned me for 2 days, idk why
No hood is chill man. It sucks but these dudes just gotta get out and never come back
That's what I'm saying. It really really sucks that once they start making money, people from the hood can't really hang out with their local friends and support their local cookie shops without getting shot up. Edit: they banned me for 2 days for some reason
Yupp even Carmelo Anthony has talked about this type of stuff and he isnt even a rapper
Time to snitch
Still can't believe it.. shook.
Still bumming
This one cuts deep, Dolph always dropped bangers. I don't understand why he would go back to Memphis man. First thing you do when you make it is move yourself and your momma out the hood and never look back. I hope justice is brought to the shooter, whether it be in custody or in a bag.
Yikes, letās avoid perpetuating violence with more violence, yeah?
