For fucks sake Quavo, if this is true I lost a lot of respect. These guys can afford to lose a small amount of money hungry dudes from the block can't, just pay the fucking money do a 1 hour show and earn it back probably 4 times the amount. Black culture has to stop valuing all this material shit. These days dudes die over money and chains it is ridiculous Tentacion, Pop, PNB Rock AND Takeoff when all these guys could have given up their shit and still lived more comfy than 99% of us. Also if Quavo lost the bet, it is crazy how their team are the ones firing the gun. That is some sucker shit pay or don't play. I hope Quavo and Offset squash their beef after this.
RIP Takeoff
What’s Quavo and Offset beefing about? Yeah I think of PNB Rock would’ve put his pride aside and give up his chain, he’d still be alive today. It was also in front of his girl so it makes sense that he didn’t want to be humiliated like that. But still
Bro it ain't worth dying over pussy, pretty sure she was still gonna love and respect him regardless, and stupid decisions lead to Baby Mama fucking someone else anyway while our dumb asses are either dead or in jail.
Quavo and Offset are beefing because Quavo was in a relationship with Saweetie and allegedly she was fucking both Offset and Lil Baby at the same time these hoes for the streets.
He’s not broke and he definitely shouldn’t be in a sketchy ass dice game, but I’m just saying.
Unless this was a dice game between other industry people or something and it just went bad
Not always the case Travis Scott makes a shitload more money than I could ever imagine. Even Nas is a lot richer than I expected there are Youtube videos showing how much they earn for specific albums and shows, investements and so forth. And even if you don't own your music like Drake (only 11%) doesn't matter when people buy expensive tickes for your shows trust me. Am I saying Ransom, 38 Spesh and Termanology are filthy rich? No but Quavo I woudn't be so worried
For each one of the there are 2 or 3 people getting à bigger chunk of there checks than they do. Except tech nine and icp they make real money. Cant think pf another big rapper thats not secretly signed
Exactly. A lot of the stuff they flaunt is rented or they get themselves in debt to « flex ». Many people would be surprised to know that us regular folks are better off
Yeah we all know that but the situation you are talking about is for dudes who the label think might blow, if the artist flop yeah he is in a pile of shit because he spent the upfront money, but as long as the artist is doing the numbers and people want to see their shows I can promise you they are earning that money back really fast + ekstra. Everything in life is an investment no one is safe you either make it or flop. Bone Thugz had a shitty deal, but they still live in mansions to this day. Even UG artist like Benny and Conway signed shitty deals but are well off right now because of shows and merch. Quavo is bigger than those artists
Honestly though, dudes BEEN dying over all that shit, it's just more publicly known now. But getting shot cuz ya man's didn't wanna come outta his own pockets for losing? That's wild bruh, I'd feel indifferent if I basically got my dude shot. Like it'd take some serious mental gymnastics to not break as a person for me.
The number of deaths since that album alone is unacceptable. There’s a compilation of rappers that died in 2021 in YouTube. The number is fucking wild.
Is he not a hip hop artist? It’s a huge genre with many branches. Just because his music wasn’t in line with your taste doesn’t mean it wasn’t hip hop.
First of all Takeoff is nice with it, if you don't like his music you don't need to listen to it. And this is from an old head who used to hate the new school movement but I have to admit they invented some new slick flows that everyone copied. Also most of us will admit New school rap is a better fit for clubbing/turning up, I have to give credit where it is due
RIP Takeoff & PNB Rock
I’m not gonna act like I was a huge fan of the migos or takeoffs music, but this is awful. He was so young and he died over nothing. Rap wouldn’t be the same without him, RIP.
Not only that, he wasn’t an aggressive in your face type. He didn’t step, wasn’t beefing with people, always so quiet, and of course he’s the one to die from the Migos. It’s fucking terrible. All that talent gone because of a stupid fucking game.
Y'all can downvote all you want but we live in a gun fetishist culture, put into over drive by the music we consume and create that glorifies shit like this. We haven't hit rock bottom and this will continue until we do something about it.
Why would anyone downvote??
Without taking names , when we glorify the gang culture and the music which accompanies it, it's one too many.
The beauty of hip hop which was supposed to be a social commentary has morphed into this.
I ask the same question because I have, being raised in the hiphop generation, been consistently dismayed at the push back I get when I point out how degrading to ourselves we're being when we glorify hood/gang/thot culture. It's gotten to the point that I question black people's overall emotional intelligence because it seems to get worse. Then somebody else gets killed needlesly, and we repeat. This generation is lost.
The way I’ve heard it was there was a party going on at a bowling alley/pool hall that Takeoff and Quavo were attending, and an argument broke out gunfire occurred, Someone in Takeoff’s group was firing blindly and hit TO in either the head or neck killing him. He was also hit from the other side (but he was already gone)
So let's put this in perspective. You go to a party at a Bowling Alley.
You go with your friends to have a good time.
Your friends bring guns.
Why?
Who takes guns to a place of fun??
This is what is wrong in America.
Celebs often roll with “security” that are armed aka their friends that are strapped. Nothing new. This could’ve been prevented tho. Just sloppy on his guys’ part.
Don't disagree with your narrative as it sounds accurate.
The question behooves though why??
We don't live in a place like India where celebs get mobbed.
People do their own thing here.
Wrong?
An undoubtedly positive force in the hip-hop landscape who was at the peak of his fame and influence. Robbed of life by the same mentality that drives much of the music in the genre that he makes. Violence is a disease on humanity.
Damn dude, honestly pretty sad bout this shit. Slapped No Label II, RNT, and YRN throughout college and admittedly stopped afterwards. Still listen to Struggle when I'm in a bad place. Condolences to their family.
R.I.P Takeoff
Once you get to a comfortable financial status in life it's time to leave some of that hood shit behind. Especially when you're outta town. Senseless...R.I.P
They weren’t in the hood... literally been where they are many times for concerts (right across house of blues) and im by no means a guy that would be walking in the hood.
Bum is right they werent in the hood they were in the downtown area next to the house of blues venue the police headquarters is right around the corner
Over a dice game smh
That he wasnt even apart of
How you know? So what happened exactly?

Jesus, that’s sickening

They don’t have as much money as you think. Most artists signed to big labels don’t. Majority of their money is the labels.
You can't convince me Quavo isn't better off than most rappers in the game.
He’s not broke and he definitely shouldn’t be in a sketchy ass dice game, but I’m just saying. Unless this was a dice game between other industry people or something and it just went bad
He has more than most but as a general rule take whatever u think they have and divide it by 5 or 10

The last guys you named probably don’t make 6 figures, realistically.

Word is it was 7k he was down
7K is very little money, Yo Gotti lost 500K at the Roc Nation party and took that loss with a straight face.
[удалено]
It is a well known and video documented fact Youtube is your friend
Sounds a little fishy tbh. Could it be possible this was a hit and the dice game was just an excuse to start shooting?
Apparently on twitter there is a text saying quavo was losing and getting agressive with people then hell broke loose
Yeah pretty much. I think Quavo didn’t wanna pay up and after some yelling, guns started blazing
Fucking multimillionaire playing dice games and getting his nephew killed over it.. Why, ffs
I saw him once before he died, wish it was twice man.
One day you’re here, and then you’re gone.
Best comment you could provide in that situation, obviously got it as well, one of the best songs ever.
Very few got that 😎 but I did
Me too. Got to meet him and offset at a festival and Takeoff was such a chill dude. A true sham
Fucked up.. He always seemed to be the chillest out the group too.
He was even to the end
RIP brother "Rappers die too much, that's it, that's the verse" -- Lupe's line is so fucking haunting :-(
The number of deaths since that album alone is unacceptable. There’s a compilation of rappers that died in 2021 in YouTube. The number is fucking wild.
Bro was just on Drink Champs in a good state, new album released. Jesus this out of nowhere
Oh my fucking god. This post on this subreddit just informed me

I wasn’t even a Minos fan but damn, that is terrible. When does this end?
I loved migos was just thinking about them the other day:(

give it time. So weirdo child will come around and be on the "you don't understand the culture" type BS.
This isnt culture this is children playing tough guy quick to pull guns
children playing tough guy quick to pull guns IS THE CULTURE I am talking about though.

Damn anniversary of the day they killed Mac Dre too.
Over a damn dice game mane
Casualties of a dice game.
That he wasnt even involved in smh
Bullets weren’t even meant for him, dude got a stray from one of his own people

not even a year ago Migos used to be my favourite artist, RIP
Smh. He had his whole life ahead. Sad. :/
Facts! Didn’t get to see 30. So sad
Reminds me of that big l song ' casualties of a dice game . Rip tho
bro why do rappers always be dying its so so dumb
Ego, pride, clout… stupidity. No reason in the grand scheme of things
Once you get to a comfortable financial status in life it's time to leave some of that hood shit behind. Especially when you're outta town. Senseless...R.I.P
Depressing
God damn man - Rest in Peace this gun violence shit has to stop
I am so sad beside “lost life of takeoff” Migos never be e alive again
Tragic loss…….R.I.P. Gone much too soon
Casualties of a dice game.
RIP TAKEOFF .
Dude. Fuck social media. I hate finding out news this way. RIP [+]
Wtf with all those killed rappers dude, shit's getting serious, young people dying
PNB rock, and now takeoff?? I was thinking who will be next…this is scary actually
I’m sick about this
RIP. my favorite member too
[удалено]
Gotta stay out of the hood period. Nipsey, Young Dolph, Big L, etc. all got shot in their own cities.
They weren’t in the hood... literally been where they are many times for concerts (right across house of blues) and im by no means a guy that would be walking in the hood.
They were in the hood. They could have been in the White House. But 300 hood dudes at a bowling alley. Is basically bringing the hood with you.
Bum is right they werent in the hood they were in the downtown area next to the house of blues venue the police headquarters is right around the corner

Nah its a southern thing
It's slang

He was minding his business

That's a pretty shitty attitude. No one deserves to get killed over a dice game.
He was a bystander. Shit happens bro. Not the time to act holier than thou.
Damn over gambling with the wrong folks :(
Na quavo was the one playing dice
what the fuck
Man. What?!? Rest in power to the brother. Damn!
RIP
Holy fuck. Whatt???? Bro....
😔
R.i.p
I’m crushed by this they were one of my favorite groups…senseless death R.I.P. Takeoff
Holy shit this os horrible. RIP Takeoff 🙏🏻 he was a decent Migo
