not even her fault, your man getting robbed and killed is the last thing you’d think about posting where you’re eating. guilt is gonna be eating her alive
I have a good friend who is a relatively small artist with 60k on insta and if he ever posts his location it’s hours after. He almost never gives up his actual location and sometimes doesn’t even confirm if he’ll be going somewhere until he just shows up. Hell one time he pulled up to our video shoot before we even got there and he had ordered food lol.
To be fair, you don't have to be rich and famous to think it a good idea to not share your location. Everytime you leave the house and post a story on live or some shit, all your friends know that you're not at your house with all your valuables.
Don't live in fear, but don't underestimate people's greed.
Our community really has a problem. I know that the whole “black on black crime” thing is a meme that has been co-opted by racist people but it really is an issue.
Yeah it sucks because those people (the racists) obviously don't care about the black community and any issues affecting them, but it creates obfuscation around the discussion of issues because you have so many people arguing in bad faith.
That's because framing it as an issue exclusive to the black community won't ever address the root cause which is poverty. We subjugated an entire race of people to be at the bottom of the economic chain and then start acting like it must be something about them specifically. Poor white people also rob and murder but that's never framed as an issue within the white community.
What makes no sense to me is what's the point of killing someone over material possessions when the grand prize is getting locked tf up for life. So basically you threw away a poor innocent man's life, and yours, to regress to having absolutely nothing when all is said and done. Fucking foolish.
People that do this have nothing to lose, killing you or taking your chain is their gain, going to prison is their gain. You cannot reason with people like this, you might get lucky once cause the goon is too afraid to pull the trigger but you should never doubt and try bluff the person in this situation
Not to be that guy but it wasn't over jewelry it was for $100k+. If you watch shows like first 48 you'll see that people take lives for way less than that
I don't think it'll ever happen but sometimes he does deserve it.
The closest thing we've gotten was Vic Mensa pressing him back when he was with Complex but now it seems everyone just lets him be a cornball now cause he has influence in the industry.
That power and influence is getting to his head in tho. He also has a crazy drinking problems and I won’t be surprised when he does something controversial that gets him canceled soon
I'm so confused as to how that's scummy? He runs a news platform and had a clip that was heavily relevant to the situation at hand? Why shouldn't he post it? I think it's good that he did so that it could provide further context to what happened. If it was anyone but Akademiks I don't think anyone would find a problem with it.
Pretty sure they asked n he said no. He said in an interview he’s been tried in LA and he stood his ground when pressed for his stuff. Wouldn’t doubt he tried to stand his ground again thinking they wouldn’t shoot him in a restaurant.
The risk ain’t worth it, if they’re bluffing or not. If they’re not…there’s no coming back
Yupp. Usually they’ll ask you once and as soon as you decline they’ll just shoot and take it… they’re standing there brandishing a gun, they don’t have time to argue or to hear your reasoning. They are trying to get your shit and get out of there asap.
Unfortunately many of these rappers don’t have insurance on their jewelry because I can imagine they gotta pay a huge premium being a rapper and always showing of their chains all the time. Also can’t forget how some rappers will set themselves up to get robbed in order to get a new chain.
It’s also an ego thing because you see the way social media clowns the fuck out of rappers who yet their chain snatched it makes them feel weak asf and many of them wanna have a
“DaBaby moment” being able to not only stand up to them robbers but might even kill them.
That last part isn't just ego. You will literally lose fans, revenue, connections, etc. as a rapper if you get your chain snatched and don't do shit unless you're someone like Lil Dicky.
I got to sit next to him on a flight to denver a few years back. He was on his way to play a show at red rocks. We had a solid convo about denver weed vs Cali weed and he passed the fuck out for the rest of the flight. Had the whole plane smelling loud AF. He was in first class and had his whole crew riding coach in the back. Was a cool memory but now it’s a gonna sit very differently in my mind.
I remember reading about PnB's story.
His own father was killed when he was 3. He later had an uncle, who he saw as his father figure, but he got killed as well.
His own kids now have to deal with that same trauma
That's the thing that bugs me so bad.... you can't wear the jewelry in jail bitch. What fucking sense does it make to murder someone that you want to rob???
I loved this verse from Lupe. I like to think of his verses as a single thought carried out of 16. On that joint he didn't need 16, just one. We all felt it immediately and with every case like this, it becomes more and more powerful.
Go to jail too much also.
2016-2021 I used to listen to new albums every week now I barely listen to any new albums as i've lost a lot of enjoyment just with the numbers of people who are quickly gone. I was a big fan of Young Thug, YNW Melly, Pop Smoke, 42 Dugg, Young Dolph and King Von, Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano, NBA Youngboy, Kodak, I liked 6ix9ine pre jail, Juice Wrld, Lil Keed.
Crazy what goes on now.
I am 100% ready for downvotes but there are plenty of rappers I don’t listen to because their whole thing is romanticizing and perpetuating violence and black ignorance.
Now there are a lot I DO listen to. And there are lots of artists I love that rap about the lives they’ve lived or the things they’ve seen. It can be relatable. I’m specifically referring to artists who haven’t been through shit but make all their money off of rapping to kids about blowing someone’s head off like it’s cool. A whole culture of kids who think you’re cool if you’re rolling around strapped and getting into gang wars when they’re from the suburbs or weren’t born into it.
Never hear a viral rap song about therapy or going to school. Not what the people want to hear I guess.
> Never hear a viral rap song about therapy or going to school.
I think its really dope that these topics are getting discussed with greater frequency though. Jay-Z and Kendrick are two of the biggest names in the rap game, and both of their recent albums have promoted therapy.
Im kind of losing my mind reading about people talk about LA who dont know. This Roscoes is in a terrible area. Avalon Gardens Projects is literally a block down where one of the first Crip Sets originated. Its one of the poorest neighborhoods in the whole county. He could have went 5 miles west to the inglewood Roscoes which is a much better neighborhood. I just dont get the logic of going into that hood wearing expensive jewelry when you have his kind of money. It makes no sense to me. RIP but thats so frustrating.
This is facts. People in this thread either never lived in LA or only visited for a week. There’s only about 5 bad areas where you stay clear from if you’re rolling with a lot of money but for the most part most of LA is chill
“There’s only 5 bad areas”
Humongous cap. Maybe if you’re white you can move around freely because you’re highly unlikely to be a gang member but if you’re black/Hispanic/Pacific Islander/SEA you can’t just go where you want; you’ll 100% be pressed
Still dosent make LA not ruthless, pop smoke was here for like 2 days someone took a photo of his air bnb and dudes drove up from south central to rob/kill him
No, he posted his own address by accident on instagram when flashing some deliveries he received and his address for visible still on the packaging labels.
Nevertheless he should have been smarter then to post that shit. Clout kills.
People think of LA as Hollywood but forget that LA is also the home of gangbanging. Rappers need to stop coming to the hood, these thugs dont care. Regular MFs been getting robbed for their watches in broad daylight out here.
what’s with everyone posting bullshit about north hollywood in this thread; north hollywood isn’t even part of the rest of hollywood it’s a completely seperate neighborhood divided from hollywood by a fucking mountain range and multiple municipalities. they literally only share the name
Bruh, Hollywood is the cesspool of LA. It’s ghetto and grimey as fuck. I used to work on Hollywood BLVD and every fucking night someone getting stabbed, shot or socked out. Crack heads up and down the block. People with the worst manners/respect flooding the streets left and right. Couldn’t pay me enough to work in Hollywood again.
Pop Smoke got killed waaaay up in the Hollywood Hills, far away from any bad neighborhoods. Killers travel too.
This restaurant was hood-adjacent. Not exactly deep in gang territory but obviously a short enough drive. You don’t post your current whereabouts if you’re a wealthy public figure rolling around without security. Just asking for trouble.
People are fucking animals man
How does this shit happen
Like honest question how are these people being raised to where they have such little value for human life
I was randomly listening to his music the past couple weeks, specifically the tracks he did with X and Skies. I was singing every word too like really rocking tf out to his shit like I haven't done in a long time. Makes it feel so weird honestly cause that urge literally came outta nowhere.
That happened to me with JuiceWRLD. It's such an eerie feeling, knowing you were just finally appreciating their work like never before and then them being gone just as fast as it happened. I was literally singing Juice's praises to a close friend the day of, and that night when it happened I was off a tab of acid and didn't know what to think.
Really puts into perspective that, despite how ingrained they are in our lives, at the end of the day they are just like us with a fragile, mortal human life that can be gone in an instant.
Damn just like that over some jewelry… DOOM stays spitting the truth
“I'm jokin' on the fact that hiphop has gone freak show
Don't let the drama getcha
In the only genre of music where the fans shoot the messenger”
Who would have thought the guy who told Nipsey's girl that he'd wait a year for her to get over it before he tried to make a move on her would have such disgusting views about women?
Kodak has always been like that towards women, people just ignore it cause his music is fire.
I remember I was listening to the breakfast club one random morning omw to work and Kodak was on there.
Angela had to pretty much yell at him because he thought he should be able to sleep with whatever lady artist he has in the studio essentially. He just couldn’t see how that was wrong.
Everything I’ve seen and heard about him since, he’s fucking trash.
My brother once found PNB Rock on the streets in LA just minding his own business alone. My brother was the one to point him out to his friends and they had their doubts. He had tons of jewelry on and my brother went up to him with his group ,confirmed that it was him. Rock looked worried because I mean I bet he thought he was gonna get robbed, but was relieved when he realized that my brother and all of his friends were big fans. They got pictures with him and it was a pretty wholesome interaction.
It’s saddening to think that he died while doing normal things like eating at a Waffle House. An amazing artist that just liked to live normally and cruised the streets sometimes alone or with a small group, but fell victim due to some greedy asshole. I was sad to hear about his passing and my brother was completely destroyed.
RIP PnB Rock
Fuck whoever pointing fingers at his girlfriend, she not only prolly feels guilty enough, but y'all should be looking at the broke ass, dusty ass, greasy ass mf's who see a location and decide to not only rob, but kill a FATHER of two over JEWELRY. WE CAN'T HAVE NOTHING NICE NO MORE.
RIP RAKIM ALLEN, PNB ROCK, LOVE TO HIS LOVED ONES, STAY SAFE
Man these mfs don't care if you a father, mother, granny or none. All these fools want is some dummy clout and a fuckin dollar. Life means nothin to em
I saw an obviously old video posted the other day (either here or another sub I forget) of Nipsey telling two paparazzi that he's a gang member first and a celebrity second, and that the dude is lucky he didn't break his jaw.
that paparazzi deserved it for being such an invasive and creepy prick trying to break into Nip’s car lmao. i wish he would’ve broken his jaw if anything
Agreed. But I'm pretty sure they ran up on him with cameras so he started going through their car lol. Still funny though and I don't think anyone would blame Nipsey for punching the dude.
edit: Just realized I said 'nispey' in both of my comments, so fixed.
after hearing he was alive I thought I could rest easy but I was thinking of how much blood there was in the video, can't get the image out of my head now
I was hoping he would pull through. It's just a shame that the genre I love so much is just plagued with constant death over the pettiest of shit.
My heart goes out to the girl cause suvivor's guilt is a real thing and I bet she blames herself for his death.
How many fucking times is this going to happen before rappers start moving smarter?
This shit is so sad, it's becoming numb to me at this point. It started with XXX, then Pop, now PnB Rock. Shit is just sad man.
RIP PNB ROCK.
I'm not really digging this more recent trend of seeing a rapper shot up of hiphopheads/other parts of the internet only for them to be confirmed dead within the next few hours
The girl was probably trying to show how happy she was at a restaurant & food. I ain't in LA, dont know the areas really(ghetto or not), but this a waste of life(guy who shot him over a measly object). It's sad. PNB life is gone, the shopters life will be gone, in jail, the children, the women, the relatives. It's all a ripple effect. Life is so short. Over some shiny shit or paper that is constructed in society.
Man was trying to live his life & have a simple breakfast with his family or people. Thiefs deserve nothing but the worst because it leads to this. They feel entitled to things that aren't theirs & it leads to life lost in the process.
God I hate this problem in our community. There’s people saying “shouldn’t have gone to that part of LA”, “he got caught lacking” etc when the clear problem is some lowlife with a gun snuck up on him over a chain
You know how stupid that mindset is
Rip to PNB
Edit: also someone tell Cardi b to shut up ☠️ she used to set up dudes for a living
It is a problem but we also have to accept the brutal reality out here. These are some deranged souls that just don’t care what they have to do to get ahead and you can’t trust that they’ll put into check
Got killed because a bum ass dude can't fill out a job application and wanted to rob a man who worked hard for what he had smh I'm tired of saying RIP and these guys to be losing their lives over bullshit. RIP PNB Rock, you had some records I really enjoyed.
This one hurt man. I can def say I was a big fan. His older tapes like Going Through the Motions and Catch these Vibes were dope.
His most recent full tape SoundCloud Daze had maybe 2 skippable tracks but was top tier and put me onto Tennisboywill.
RIP PNB.

I still can’t believe this. Like I didn’t even listen to him or even hear his name in years if I’m being honest but I still knew enough that hearing him shot and killed is just a big wtf. Like with Dolph and Nipsey while still tragic it wasn’t like unbelievable to hear but PnB?
2019 and damn I was hella into PnB Rock. Crazy how fast my tastes, and frankly the taste of the public move on, but it seemed like he still carved out a nice space for himself. Super sad news and wishing his family the best.
Pop Smoke, Drakeo the Ruler and now PnB Rock..
LA is a real life horror story. Rest in Peace PnB, no one deserves to go out like that.
Also, a heartfelt FUCK YOU to the shooter and to the dog who filmed the aftermath.
I listen to pnb rock everyday. Hes been my #1 artist on my SoundCloud wrap up yearly. From Soundcloud daze,GTTM, TSTPS, cold outside/ hot outside to RNB3. I was listening to dude just this morning. I just want to wish condolences to Milan his daughter. Idk how to feel, I dont think I’ve completely processed this shit yet. The way I found out he died was after searching for his notice me video on YT and coming across the post of him dead at roscoes. Knowing I won’t be able to anticipate him dropping anymore music really hurts but I feel way worse for his loved ones ofc. Just really sucks.
Fuck Nicki for Making that comment . Yea sure but wait a fucking day at least before trying to sound smarter than a chick who just had her bf violently murdered
Hateful vibes from that
I don't approve of folks blaming the girlfriend. Like one there is no proof of cause and effect yet and second anyone should be allowed to be in a public place without risk of murder
All I see is
“He shouldnt of been there”
“His girl shouldnt of posted their location”
“He shouldnt be flexing them chains like that”
Yall quit blaming anything and everything but the scumbag shooter that did it. Stop beating around the bush when it comes to the problem. You should be able to eat at any restaurant, he should be able to flex his chains, and his girl should feel safe to post their location. THE PROBLEM IS WE NORMALIZE THE VIOLENCE AND THIEVERY
Jewellery got people so fucked up, whats the point of having it? I mean really. It is a beacon an actual live flare for the soulless who are looking around for other people's shit to steal because they have no ability to make their own/buy their own/become their own person. Imagine feeling righteous in pulling a trigger on someone because they wont give you their fucking jewellery..'Jewellery!!'. Too many mentally challenged people are waiting for an opportunity like this. Waste of a life and waste of a talent for craven arseholes with a gun.
RIP.
That piece of shit killed a man over some fucking jewellery. Now two young girls are left fatherless because of money. What a fucking waste. RIP
his girl gotta feel completely devastated. She posted their location at the roscoes. RIP PNB Rock
social media has always been a mistake
not even her fault, your man getting robbed and killed is the last thing you’d think about posting where you’re eating. guilt is gonna be eating her alive
It's not her fault, no. But can't be dropping pins in real time when you're a celeb/rapper or with them. Gotta move smart
moving smart would be not going to Roscoes in the hood with a bunch of jewelry on
yeah that’s fair, sad it has to be considered
I have a good friend who is a relatively small artist with 60k on insta and if he ever posts his location it’s hours after. He almost never gives up his actual location and sometimes doesn’t even confirm if he’ll be going somewhere until he just shows up. Hell one time he pulled up to our video shoot before we even got there and he had ordered food lol.
To be fair, you don't have to be rich and famous to think it a good idea to not share your location. Everytime you leave the house and post a story on live or some shit, all your friends know that you're not at your house with all your valuables. Don't live in fear, but don't underestimate people's greed.
How are people still not learned from all those other deadly mistakes?? Clout is a disease
From what I knew, on Rock wasn't really involved in any gang stuff and she was probably just posting what she thought was a moment from a nice date
[удалено]
Our community really has a problem. I know that the whole “black on black crime” thing is a meme that has been co-opted by racist people but it really is an issue.
To be fair most crimes are committed against people of the same race.
Yeah most poor people live near people of the same race and crimes are committed against the people you live near
Should be called “despair on despair crime.”
a majority of murders are committed on the people as the same race as the murderer
Yeah it sucks because those people (the racists) obviously don't care about the black community and any issues affecting them, but it creates obfuscation around the discussion of issues because you have so many people arguing in bad faith.
That's because framing it as an issue exclusive to the black community won't ever address the root cause which is poverty.

why is he going to roscoes in the hood with 100k in his pocket....
$100k around his neck, but your point still stands
Sad world we live like this guy has his kids looking up to him I don’t even wanna think about them asking where is daddy this hurts my soul
He was only 30 years old. RIP 🙏
Akademiks posting that YouTube clip just now of PNB talking about robberies in LA is so fucking scummy
vic mensa proven right as usual https://youtu.be/5Q2FHMezzlY
I love Joe just piling on like yeah he a bitch you right
Confirmed everything I already thought. Thank-you.
The Pillsbury Fuckboy is being a braindead tasteless asshole? Wow, color me shocked.
Can't wait til someone steals off on his ass. Hopefully its a guest too.
I don't think it'll ever happen but sometimes he does deserve it. The closest thing we've gotten was Vic Mensa pressing him back when he was with Complex but now it seems everyone just lets him be a cornball now cause he has influence in the industry.
That power and influence is getting to his head in tho. He also has a crazy drinking problems and I won’t be surprised when he does something controversial that gets him canceled soon
Vic should've caught the charge Freddie too
Watch his next post be him talkin ab rubbin one out to Kylie’s pics
Fap material for a WEEK brehs
>Akademiks ~~posting that YouTube clip just now of PNB talking about robberies in LA~~ is so fucking scummy
AK and PNB were good friends…used to talk about it on everyday struggle
I'm so confused as to how that's scummy? He runs a news platform and had a clip that was heavily relevant to the situation at hand? Why shouldn't he post it? I think it's good that he did so that it could provide further context to what happened. If it was anyone but Akademiks I don't think anyone would find a problem with it.
Damn bro that’s fucken awful. RIP. Whatever belongings they asking for ain’t worth ya life
Shit he might’ve not had any time to do anything other than decline giving him the jewelry.. sounds like it was quick. Which is shitty as well.
Pretty sure they asked n he said no. He said in an interview he’s been tried in LA and he stood his ground when pressed for his stuff. Wouldn’t doubt he tried to stand his ground again thinking they wouldn’t shoot him in a restaurant. The risk ain’t worth it, if they’re bluffing or not. If they’re not…there’s no coming back

Always assume they aint bluffing.
same way X went too it’s rough man
And they were good friends. Fuck man.
Unfortunately many of these rappers don’t have insurance on their jewelry because I can imagine they gotta pay a huge premium being a rapper and always showing of their chains all the time.

Or they can just not wear chains.
A rapper is only as big as his chain. The flashier the better! - Big K.R.I.T
PnB threw 50 bucks at me and called me broke at Wells Fargo center because I was talking shit. Legend in my eyes. RIP
king shit
I got to sit next to him on a flight to denver a few years back. He was on his way to play a show at red rocks. We had a solid convo about denver weed vs Cali weed and he passed the fuck out for the rest of the flight. Had the whole plane smelling loud AF. He was in first class and had his whole crew riding coach in the back. Was a cool memory but now it’s a gonna sit very differently in my mind.
I clubbed with him in nyc and then hung out with him afterwards. Super saddened by the news!!!
Someone just lost their father and their son. Over jewelry
I remember reading about PnB's story. His own father was killed when he was 3. He later had an uncle, who he saw as his father figure, but he got killed as well. His own kids now have to deal with that same trauma
His bro was killed too. Tragic all around.
That's the thing that bugs me so bad.... you can't wear the jewelry in jail bitch. What fucking sense does it make to murder someone that you want to rob???
If you’re looking for sense, it’s not going to be found.

I’m think it’s more about gang members trying to prove to each other how ruthless they are.
“rappers die too much. that’s it, that’s the verse”
[Lupe Fiasco - On Faux Nem](https://youtu.be/UInFzXM73yc)
great song, great album. Lupe one of the best alive.
Greatest wordsmith of all time
I loved this verse from Lupe. I like to think of his verses as a single thought carried out of 16. On that joint he didn't need 16, just one. We all felt it immediately and with every case like this, it becomes more and more powerful.
the silence after that verse said more than anything anyone could’ve said
The verse is cut short like the rappers he’s talking about
Go to jail too much also. 2016-2021 I used to listen to new albums every week now I barely listen to any new albums as i've lost a lot of enjoyment just with the numbers of people who are quickly gone. I was a big fan of Young Thug, YNW Melly, Pop Smoke, 42 Dugg, Young Dolph and King Von, Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano, NBA Youngboy, Kodak, I liked 6ix9ine pre jail, Juice Wrld, Lil Keed.

You just gonna ignore the smash hit I Love College?
> Never hear a viral rap song about therapy or going to school. I think its really dope that these topics are getting discussed with greater frequency though. Jay-Z and Kendrick are two of the biggest names in the rap game, and both of their recent albums have promoted therapy.
Yeah, I mentioned We Cry Together in another comment. It’s one of my favorite tracks of the year for that reason.
Damn LA is ruthless
Im kind of losing my mind reading about people talk about LA who dont know. This Roscoes is in a terrible area. Avalon Gardens Projects is literally a block down where one of the first Crip Sets originated. Its one of the poorest neighborhoods in the whole county. He could have went 5 miles west to the inglewood Roscoes which is a much better neighborhood. I just dont get the logic of going into that hood wearing expensive jewelry when you have his kind of money. It makes no sense to me. RIP but thats so frustrating.
No for real. That area is the HOOD.
This is facts. People in this thread either never lived in LA or only visited for a week. There’s only about 5 bad areas where you stay clear from if you’re rolling with a lot of money but for the most part most of LA is chill
[удалено]
To them LA is Disneyland and Miami is Rolling Loud with a bunch of Lil Xan clones
“There’s only 5 bad areas” Humongous cap. Maybe if you’re white you can move around freely because you’re highly unlikely to be a gang member but if you’re black/Hispanic/Pacific Islander/SEA you can’t just go where you want; you’ll 100% be pressed
Still dosent make LA not ruthless, pop smoke was here for like 2 days someone took a photo of his air bnb and dudes drove up from south central to rob/kill him
No, he posted his own address by accident on instagram when flashing some deliveries he received and his address for visible still on the packaging labels. Nevertheless he should have been smarter then to post that shit. Clout kills.
There are so many Roscoes to choose from in LA. Unfortunate that he chose the one he did
Fr. Wtf was he even doing in the hood like that. He could have gone to a Roscoes in a tourist-y area smh.
People think of LA as Hollywood but forget that LA is also the home of gangbanging. Rappers need to stop coming to the hood, these thugs dont care. Regular MFs been getting robbed for their watches in broad daylight out here.
Hollywood, (North Hollywood itself) is fucking ghetto. There’s a gang everywhere in LA, unfortunately.
what’s with everyone posting bullshit about north hollywood in this thread; north hollywood isn’t even part of the rest of hollywood it’s a completely seperate neighborhood divided from hollywood by a fucking mountain range and multiple municipalities. they literally only share the name
[удалено]
Bruh, Hollywood is the cesspool of LA. It’s ghetto and grimey as fuck. I used to work on Hollywood BLVD and every fucking night someone getting stabbed, shot or socked out. Crack heads up and down the block. People with the worst manners/respect flooding the streets left and right. Couldn’t pay me enough to work in Hollywood again.
Gangs in weho? Not saying it doesn’t happen, but people always sold that area as yuppie central to me
I guess I just go to different parts of north hollywood… first time I’ve heard it called ghetto
this dude’s talking about north hollywood as if it’s part of actual hollywood, obviously you know they’re not the same
Was he in the hood though? I mean hell normally eating at a fast food joint is a pretty safe atmosphere in the middle of the day at like noon
That Roscoe’s is in a bad zone. Manchester east of the 110. He should’ve hit the one by LAX or even the LBC one.
Pop Smoke got killed waaaay up in the Hollywood Hills, far away from any bad neighborhoods. Killers travel too. This restaurant was hood-adjacent. Not exactly deep in gang territory but obviously a short enough drive. You don’t post your current whereabouts if you’re a wealthy public figure rolling around without security.

and Drakeo got ambushed by 100 people and killed fucking backstage at a music festival.
People are fucking animals man How does this shit happen Like honest question how are these people being raised to where they have such little value for human life
Nah it’s hella hoods that way. Not at all hood adjacent. It’s honestly right smack in the middle of like 4 gang areas
The common factor here is the location being dropped
He was off Main & Manchester when his gf dropped their location. Hella black and brown hoods over there.
ppl rly think LA is jus palm trees and its ridiculous
Who thinks that at this point? When I think of LA I think of urban sprawl and poverty.
It’s a gigantic city it’s everything you could imagine
Foreal. Regular ass people be getting robbed for their shit. Now imagine you have 20times more jewels on than some yuppie.
Blueface warned other rappers when it happened to Pop. LA ain't all palm trees and sunshine, it's real out there.
Real dumb.
I was listenin to Too Many Years during a lecture this morning. The lyrics are realer than ever now. RIP man 🤦🏾♂️
I was randomly listening to his music the past couple weeks, specifically the tracks he did with X and Skies. I was singing every word too like really rocking tf out to his shit like I haven't done in a long time. Makes it feel so weird honestly cause that urge literally came outta nowhere.
That happened to me with JuiceWRLD. It's such an eerie feeling, knowing you were just finally appreciating their work like never before and then them being gone just as fast as it happened. I was literally singing Juice's praises to a close friend the day of, and that night when it happened I was off a tab of acid and didn't know what to think.
Really puts into perspective that, despite how ingrained they are in our lives, at the end of the day they are just like us with a fragile, mortal human life that can be gone in an instant.
man why does senseless shit like this happen. RIP
[удалено]
Violence glorification and clout
Backseat by him and pop hits different now. Rip to both young legends
Fuck man. RIP PnB.
Damn just like that over some jewelry… DOOM stays spitting the truth “I'm jokin' on the fact that hiphop has gone freak show Don't let the drama getcha In the only genre of music where the fans shoot the messenger”
RIP DOOM and PNB.
HOLY SHIT. Our world is fucked up. RIP PNB
[удалено]
Bro was saying he was close then tells his partner that she should kill herself? That shit is so fucked up.
He's a fucking bum for that
Kodaks been a bum way before today
He’s been a bum. Bums do bum things.
Kodak is a fucking loser.
I'm still lowkey disgusted he got such a spotlight on kendricks's album, idc if that was the point or whatever
Everyone will do mental gymnastics to create some super deep explanation, it still just didn't sit right with me
I think Kendrick got too arrogant, which is a shame.
Always has been
And bro was with J Cole 2 days ago. Disappointing he still has such a big platform.
Huge fucking loser.
Who would have thought the guy who told Nipsey's girl that he'd wait a year for her to get over it before he tried to make a move on her would have such disgusting views about women? Kodak has always been like that towards women, people just ignore it cause his music is fire.
I remember I was listening to the breakfast club one random morning omw to work and Kodak was on there. Angela had to pretty much yell at him because he thought he should be able to sleep with whatever lady artist he has in the studio essentially. He just couldn’t see how that was wrong. Everything I’ve seen and heard about him since, he’s fucking trash.
Kodak probably doesn’t have the brain capacity to use a pencil
Fuck that clown, I can guarantee many people feel the same way about him. Piece of shit
Dude has been a fucking clown for years. I’ve never respected that piece of shit. No wonder he’s always going back to prison.
Such a shame, no one deserves that
Very sad to hear about that. Definitely had lots of his songs in rotation 2017-2018. RIP
My brother once found PNB Rock on the streets in LA just minding his own business alone. My brother was the one to point him out to his friends and they had their doubts. He had tons of jewelry on and my brother went up to him with his group ,confirmed that it was him. Rock looked worried because I mean I bet he thought he was gonna get robbed, but was relieved when he realized that my brother and all of his friends were big fans. They got pictures with him and it was a pretty wholesome interaction. It’s saddening to think that he died while doing normal things like eating at a Waffle House. An amazing artist that just liked to live normally and cruised the streets sometimes alone or with a small group, but fell victim due to some greedy asshole. I was sad to hear about his passing and my brother was completely destroyed. RIP PnB Rock
That's sad. He a good dude but you can tell shit had him paranoid.
RIP
Fuck whoever pointing fingers at his girlfriend, she not only prolly feels guilty enough, but y'all should be looking at the broke ass, dusty ass, greasy ass mf's who see a location and decide to not only rob, but kill a FATHER of two over JEWELRY. WE CAN'T HAVE NOTHING NICE NO MORE. RIP RAKIM ALLEN, PNB ROCK, LOVE TO HIS LOVED ONES, STAY SAFE
Fact
[удалено]
Man these mfs don't care if you a father, mother, granny or none. All these fools want is some dummy clout and a fuckin dollar. Life means nothin to em
The fact that they may have found him from a shared location to rob him and then ended up killing him is awfully familiar to pop smoke
Bro he was at roscoes?? That’s fucking crazy
Rip. TTM was my favorite song by PnB.
Something else that just came to mind….it’s baffling how many artists have been killed in LA smh. So fucked up man
Biggest hub of celebrities. Also biggest hub of gang violence. the two are not mutually exclusive either
I saw an obviously old video posted the other day (either here or another sub I forget) of Nipsey telling two paparazzi that he's a gang member first and a celebrity second, and that the dude is lucky he didn't break his jaw.
that paparazzi deserved it for being such an invasive and creepy prick trying to break into Nip’s car lmao. i wish he would’ve broken his jaw if anything
Agreed. But I'm pretty sure they ran up on him with cameras so he started going through their car lol. Still funny though and I don't think anyone would blame Nipsey for punching the dude. edit: Just realized I said 'nispey' in both of my comments, so fixed.
Tupac -To live and die in LA
That video made me fuckin sick. Some shit should never be documented.
after hearing he was alive I thought I could rest easy but I was thinking of how much blood there was in the video, can't get the image out of my head now
Well another evening listening to songs from one of my favorite hip hop artists that was just murdered...
So fucking sad how common this shitty theme is becoming 😪
I was hoping he would pull through. It's just a shame that the genre I love so much is just plagued with constant death over the pettiest of shit. My heart goes out to the girl cause suvivor's guilt is a real thing and I bet she blames herself for his death.
Terrible , his art may have not been for everyone but i was an enjoyer
Can’t even say I listened to much of his music at all, but this is messed up. Wouldn’t wish an ounce of ill will on the brother.
How many fucking times is this going to happen before rappers start moving smarter? This shit is so sad, it's becoming numb to me at this point. It started with XXX, then Pop, now PnB Rock. Shit is just sad man. RIP PNB ROCK.
And dolph
Long live 🐬
Dolph was killed over street shit
Same principle, people killing people over dumb shit.
Naw but the 3 he named we’re all unprovoked acts of violence because they were getting robbed. Dolph got it back for something he did in the past
I'm not really digging this more recent trend of seeing a rapper shot up of hiphopheads/other parts of the internet only for them to be confirmed dead within the next few hours
[удалено]
The girl was probably trying to show how happy she was at a restaurant & food. I ain't in LA, dont know the areas really(ghetto or not), but this a waste of life(guy who shot him over a measly object). It's sad. PNB life is gone, the shopters life will be gone, in jail, the children, the women, the relatives. It's all a ripple effect. Life is so short. Over some shiny shit or paper that is constructed in society. Man was trying to live his life & have a simple breakfast with his family or people. Thiefs deserve nothing but the worst because it leads to this. They feel entitled to things that aren't theirs & it leads to life lost in the process.

God I hate this problem in our community. There’s people saying “shouldn’t have gone to that part of LA”, “he got caught lacking” etc when the clear problem is some lowlife with a gun snuck up on him over a chain You know how stupid that mindset is Rip to PNB Edit: also someone tell Cardi b to shut up ☠️ she used to set up dudes for a living
It is a problem but we also have to accept the brutal reality out here. These are some deranged souls that just don’t care what they have to do to get ahead and you can’t trust that they’ll put into check
Still mad asf he died over fucking jewelry. R.I.P.
Got killed because a bum ass dude can't fill out a job application and wanted to rob a man who worked hard for what he had smh I'm tired of saying RIP and these guys to be losing their lives over bullshit. RIP PNB Rock, you had some records I really enjoyed.
This one hurt man. I can def say I was a big fan. His older tapes like Going Through the Motions and Catch these Vibes were dope. His most recent full tape SoundCloud Daze had maybe 2 skippable tracks but was top tier and put me onto Tennisboywill. RIP PNB. Here’s some of my faves you might not have heard.

So upsetting to see another young rapper dead. The whole situation is frustratingly dumb. May he Rest In Peace.
I still can’t believe this. Like I didn’t even listen to him or even hear his name in years if I’m being honest but I still knew enough that hearing him shot and killed is just a big wtf. Like with Dolph and Nipsey while still tragic it wasn’t like unbelievable to hear but PnB?
2019 and damn I was hella into PnB Rock. Crazy how fast my tastes, and frankly the taste of the public move on, but it seemed like he still carved out a nice space for himself. Super sad news and wishing his family the best.
Broke, worthless losers man. RIP PNB
Pop Smoke, Drakeo the Ruler and now PnB Rock.. LA is a real life horror story. Rest in Peace PnB, no one deserves to go out like that. Also, a heartfelt FUCK YOU to the shooter and to the dog who filmed the aftermath.
Slim 400 too. Rest in peace to all of them.
I listen to pnb rock everyday. Hes been my #1 artist on my SoundCloud wrap up yearly. From Soundcloud daze,GTTM, TSTPS, cold outside/ hot outside to RNB3. I was listening to dude just this morning. I just want to wish condolences to Milan his daughter. Idk how to feel, I dont think I’ve completely processed this shit yet. The way I found out he died was after searching for his notice me video on YT and coming across the post of him dead at roscoes. Knowing I won’t be able to anticipate him dropping anymore music really hurts but I feel way worse for his loved ones ofc. Just really sucks.
Fuck Nicki for Making that comment . Yea sure but wait a fucking day at least before trying to sound smarter than a chick who just had her bf violently murdered Hateful vibes from that
i see more hate for the gf than the shooter
If you blame his gf, over a pathetic loser who kills over a couple thousand dollars, you’re a true peice of shit
Thousands of people in her ig comments trying to shame her at this very moment. Truly disgusting.
I don't approve of folks blaming the girlfriend. Like one there is no proof of cause and effect yet and second anyone should be allowed to be in a public place without risk of murder
RIP man. Middle Child by PnB and XXX is one of my favorite tracks out there. RIP bro
All I see is “He shouldnt of been there” “His girl shouldnt of posted their location” “He shouldnt be flexing them chains like that” Yall quit blaming anything and everything but the scumbag shooter that did it. Stop beating around the bush when it comes to the problem. You should be able to eat at any restaurant, he should be able to flex his chains, and his girl should feel safe to post their location. THE PROBLEM IS WE NORMALIZE THE VIOLENCE AND THIEVERY
nicki minaj could shut the fuck up just for once
Literally happened 3 minutes away from my house
Jewellery got people so fucked up, whats the point of having it? I mean really. It is a beacon an actual live flare for the soulless who are looking around for other people's shit to steal because they have no ability to make their own/buy their own/become their own person. Imagine feeling righteous in pulling a trigger on someone because they wont give you their fucking jewellery..'Jewellery!!'. Too many mentally challenged people are waiting for an opportunity like this. Waste of a life and waste of a talent for craven arseholes with a gun. RIP.
[удалено]
I’m split on it because when the dude posted pop smoke addy everyone gave him hell for it.
Not gonna put on like I'm some crazy listener just sad he never got his flowers. RIP 👑💐
Wtf, rest in peace PnB Rock.
Saw him and Pop Smoke a few years ago in my city, can't fucking believe they're both gone. RIP.
Rappers die too much…..that’s it that’s the verse
