Mal has never been this open about losing his brother and how that affected his family. Thank yall for opening up this conversation. Rest in Heaven Takeoff, praying for his family's peace 💖🕊
Yeah from what I remember , that was very devastating to Biggs back then, that’s who I only knew about back in those Roc-A-Fella days. Parts of Lucifer off black album was about Bob their brother.
Who is mal’s brother??
Mal has a great point about “Checking In” and to push the conversation forward. Imagine being territorial over a spot you don’t own. Why do I have to check in with you? Shouldn’t I reach out to your landlord?
you dont need to check in, but celebrities get extorted (mainly knowing they are) for the trade of safety from the gangsters with connections so they dont get robbed in the city. its a sick culture but its all over hip hop culture and it doesnt seem to have an end.
Only 28...rest in peace Takeoff. No-one should die that young. Prayers to his family.
Like Mal I lost my little brother to gun violence 5yrs later lost my older brother to gun violence both to random drive by shootings here in Chicago neither were into that life my little brother was a honor roll student played basketball and football in 10th grade had scouts coming to games my big brother was in college and was home on spring break my point is not of poor me but one of when the wrong person is taken away it hurts a whole different way then when 1 is out causing troubles its been 16yrs since I lost my baby brother and almost 22 for my big brother every birthday still hurts every holiday never feels the same it dont ever go away it only ever gets a little easier and still someday a little harder the death of Takeoff will always hurt the world and culture even tho time moves on memories stay forever RIP Kirshnik Khari Ball to my brother's Kenny and Michael I'm still missing you everyday
My condolences 🙏🏾🙏🏾

It’s just crazy to me cause Takeoff was the guy in the corner, just the quiet guy who just vibed. That’s why he’s been my favourite since a kid, he just reminded me of myself. Obviously I didn’t know him personally but that shit hit. RIP Take 🙏🏾
I think that's one of the other things that makes the situation unthinkable. He was the quiet guy just vibing
Mal & Rory both had two really important points. Ego & Impulse
Rory’s take on ads and the overall monetization of pain reallyyy resonates man, thank you for giving a voice to something I’ve been feeling for a while.
While they promote their tour 😂
@@davidc3268 Right, but he addressed that…which I really respected. You could tell he was being very genuine in that moment.
They could have also demonetized this video lol
@@davidc3268 Thats definitely a solid point.
At the end of the day it’s still news ya know.. and they are in the business of news, so business doesn’t stop just because the news happens to be a sensitive topic such as this
@@knightcantrap so their hypocrites is what im saying
It’s disgusting how when a tragedy happens, everyone is quick to whip out their phones and record so they can post on social media for clout or to sell it instead of trying to help. I don’t think it’s all trauma but also think that it’s people who mating to have lines or say “I was there, look, here’s the video I recorded”
This is the society we live in, sadly.
I hate it! I agree with you 100 percent.
Yet it's those same videos that help investigations though.
In this case it’s helped weed out the false stories and shed light on the truth.
Rory’s conviction about how this shouldn’t be monitored was dope. He was for real about his stance. But I feel like it’s okay for a leader in the community to speak on a loss when they are sincere and respectful. It was also great to learn more about Mal. I can understand a lil more about him now. Rip Takeoff.
I’ve been listening to the Migos since I was 14 years old. I’m 24 now. Finding out he was 28 made it hit for me in a way I could never imagine
Same here.. 24 now and it's just sad man how stuff goes ..
We still haven’t realized how big of a loss Takeoff is. RIP Takeoff and may God have mercy on all of us.
TIMESTAMPS
May TakeOff Rest In Peace.
( I'm going on vacation so i'm not gonna be doing the timestamps for a lil bit. To Solo Oat Kid, Nia Lee, and everyone else who always taps in through the comments, I hope you and yall loved ones stay safe and have a blessed November )
0:00:34 Rest In Peace TakeOff. Rory & Mal talk about the situation, the rapper lifestyle, how TakeOff was a laid back guy from what they saw and how he didn't really do anything wrong.
0:21:31 Why is it only in hip-hop that we have to check in with other people when going to another state?
0:26:43 Mal says this whole situation is beyond traumatic. For TakeOff's loved ones, life will never be the same. Mal talks about his perspective as someone who has lost a sibling to gun violence (May he Rest In Peace). We must come together as a culture and prevent this from happening
0:33:19 Eddin brings up a good point about social media. Why does social media share violence and visuals? These types of things aren't normal at all, and it warps how we as a society view these things, and programs us to become desensitized to things we shouldn't be desensitized to. Rory talks about how people put ads to make money off of these horrific videos, but then acknowledges that he does the same and is a hypocrite and isn't sure how much longer he can do it for. How would it look if Rory & Mal just don't talk about it? But if they talk about it, ads are going to be there, because thats how they make money off of the pod
0:39:10 Talks about the the changes we can make as a culture. Would anything actually change at all? When is this going to stop happening? Thank you TakeOff for everything you've contributed to the world, may you Rest In Peace
Thank you for this!
Thank you! Enjoy some time off. Grace and peace to you.
My Nigga (Head Nod) - Denzel -- hahah had to use the right account
Dude… thank you 🙏🏽
Mal is a deep thinker for sure .. its good to hear him expound when he gets going
Is he really now? What did he say that was in anyway “deep”? 😂
@@westside9493 I appreciated him discussing potential ways a lost like this can affect people. (based off his personal experience)
@@westside9493 😂 people say anything.
@@kaynoow95 first off a “loss”. Let’s start here
And mal’s a trump guy too so think about that when your voting!
Mal preaching in this one on that subconscious take... That's real shit
And mal’s a republican..! Think about that next time your voting
@@reggiepyrtle8473 that was slick....but no. one random republican made a comment about the subconscious effects of witnessing murder and seeing things, that does not mean vote republican
The tragedy of Takeoff is beyond measure… that young, talented, beautiful soul was taken from this world for nothing… there’s no logical reason why that situation ended up in gunfire… this is one of the most unnecessary event that didn’t and shouldn’t have to happen like why did this happen to someone that didn’t deserve it… so so so so so sad this broke my heart too.
This conversation was A1. Like clearly we all had a connection to Takeoff’s spirit. He was just a beautiful soul like this hurts.
It’s absolutely the lyrics and the culture. I know y’all like to say “no it’s not the music”. I’m here to say it that it absolutely is.
💯
the culture yes.. idk about lyrics that seems like a reach
@@kale7209 well the culture isn’t quite rapping about butterflies and rainbows. Don’t know what you’re tryna salvage but my statement still stands
@@doublev2958 i mean lyrics and culture reflect off each other so not to say there’s no impact but i think there’s issues that contribute way more than music
Rappers have been saying the same things for generations. Only this generation has gun violence been this prevalent
This was a beautiful episode and I HATE that it was produced from such a tragic murder. It’s just not fair! Prayers for Take Off’s family.
Damn 116 episodes. You guys have come a long way keep up the good work.
That Young Man shouldn't have lost his life at all. Long Live TAKEOFF💔
We need to stop all the negative music and get back to the positive side of music fam-bam 💯
Okay. But what does that have to do with this situation?
@@kaynoow95 everythiing
Thats real deal
@@kaynoow95 everything. You have to be slow or something
@@quilluntouchableentity2034 You are advocating for stopping negative music but come on here and spew negative talk. 🤦🏾♀️😂 My point was that I don’t think his lyrics caused his death (as far as I know at this point).
wowww y’all are the first to dedicate a full episode to this..finally
Rory kept it grand. 💯 I have a new level or respect for Rory
"You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far" -Biggie
So I listened to this yesterday at work on Spotify.
What I love best about this episode is they really gave it up to takeooff. They took their time, no jokes were made really. Sad to say I can hear the pain in mals voice.
And on the app when it was time to cut to the ads. They didn’t insert any. So I could be wrong but they didn’t monetize off of this episode.
Good shit guys. One love 🤞🏾✨✨✨💎💎💎
I feel like everyone else talked on it real fast just cause everyone was talking about it. But the guys here talked about it cause they’re hurt and tired of the same stuff happening. They had no other subjects to take away from this one. Etc… just great job guys.
Takeoff’s death definitely rocked the world not just the Industry.. Shit was senseless and I’m sure this “Mobties” shit over with after this.. Houston gotta hold this L for life
Great conversation today guys and R.I.P Take 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Agree. When I saw that guy and his friends just walking away while Quavo wailed in pain and Takeoff was laying there... it was the most callous thing I've seen.
No it didn’t. Just the “Hip Hop” world. I talked to people who don’t even know who Take Off is..l
@@raemiller2752 that’s your business.. I SAID WHAT I SAID MOVE ON
this was an important convo. keep having it.even though these situations dont end, you also dont know how many potential deaths these convos have stopped. Keep having them. more listen than you think
My guys keep me uplifted and motivated
Great episode and good for for dedicating an episode to it. One thing To add tho: ENVY. Look at the financial times we’ve been in and are still in. People are hungry and now more than ever, people are looking over at what the next person has. During covid all we did was sit on IG for months by ourselves looking at ppl doing better than you etc. in my personal life, Ive noticed the envy and ppl watching others getting worse so i cant discount that that has something to do with this stuff too. Its sad and a byproduct of the structure of our society.
So these people are hungry and they see someone who they think is better than them and that they think thinks theyre better than them (bc of music and their own fragile ego), so they don’t hesitate to pull the trigger bc it makes them feel powerful for a moment. Very sad and sick world we live in.
I agree 100% with Rory! It sucks that artists deaths are monetized but also as soon as I saw the news about Takeoff I was looking on TH-cam to see Rory & Mal’s perspective, so I’m glad they went ahead and did this clip. Y’all boys are important to us !
Beautiful episode. I think we often don’t humanize you guys because the podcast is entertaining. But the conviction and integrity speaks volume. Something needs to change y’all got my support. Your integrity shines through.
You guys really handled this so well as always. Y’all are the good guys. Really appreciate everything y’all said. Sending much love and good energy to the whole crew 🙏🏼
This is why the lyrical content on Drake x 21’s new project seem a bit eerie. Especially when we keep saying “things need to change”. Drake is almost 40, at some point the frequency of the message needs to change.
I stg when I go I want Mal to do my eulogy fr. I remember when he was on the other podcast and he spoke on Nip's passing it moved me as well. He did his thing with this one.
I think there's a huge difference between having a conversation about this (like what you guys do) versus posting stuff quick for clicks and fast money. You guys have always been very genuine with wanting to have these conversations versus what other people do.
I love you so much Mal. Your words always give us comfort in the most difficult of times. God bless you, your family and of course the same to all who loved offset. RIPOffset
Takeoff
Offset?? Bruh 🤣🤣🤣
I almost skipped this episode because its so sad to keep hearing about it and I hate that yall had to do this episode but I appreciate it at the same time. I can only imagine it's never easy reporting/discussing a tragic event of this magnitude but I appreciate the perspective and honesty along with Mal sharing his experiences and even Eddin giving his perspective on the importance for still sharing your voice on it through yall platform. RIP Takeoff
Appreciate you guys being humble✨
"The #wound is the place where the #Light enters you." - Rumi
Through the wounding of our brotha the light(enlightenment) is entering some of us; his & our wounding is not in vain. RIP TAKEOFF 🙏🏾 ✨️
blessings and light to all 🙏💔
loss is never easy, and it can bring up a lot of difficult memories for those of us who have lost loved ones, especially in this sad unfortunate way. take care of yourselves and check on your brothers and sisters xo
Profound conversation great points an energy condolences to the one's that we've lost very powerful episode
Rip takeoff😔🕊️ can’t get over this. His talent he left us will live on forever
I get sad thinking he’s gone. Rip takeoff
Rip Edot baby as well. Young artist out of Harlem / Bronx
I totally agree with Mal when it comes to checking in. Only hip hop does this and I’ll never understand it.
Crazy that we only talk about peace when a rapper is killed...the community has been going through it. Activists and community leaders have been talking about it for years. It's sad that WE are losing these young people at an alarming rate. I pray for peace for ALL.
Yes the news of Takeoff was a big tragedy and was extremely shocking
Rory you are a part of hip hop culture...you can speak on this...
This was a more honest side of both Rory and Mal. You can sense a level of vulnerability that came off as very honest and authentic. People need to realize that it is the music and the words that we speak over ourselves and to others. Our favorite deceased rappers speak on their own demises on a good beat and we buy into it! We see it every single day! Things have to change in order for things to start to make sense. Living only 28 years and losing your life over bullshit IS bullshit.
Glad I'm hearing Mal talk like this cos a year or so ago he didn't really express this take. He was giving the music less weight in the negativity. It is simple, the saying is deeper than people realise... you are what you eat. Ie. You are what you read, your are what you listen to, you are what you chose to watch, you are what you absorb. Let's become cognizant of this!
Realest convo. Rest in Peace Take
What's going on with today's youth? All the negative energy, all the hate... it's just depressing. I'm 37 and all of this just makes my heart heavy.
I appreciate this episode. It was hard hearing about Takeoff. I had the same stance as Mal, must be a joke. Then you wake up and see it’s not. It hit me hard. 😔 It’s another sad day in our community. I pray for our community to become whole. We are missing so much as a people, I feel most of us are lost. I appreciate Mal, Rory and Edin giving their take. I’m sure you guys echo most of our sentiments. Thank you Mal for being so transparent. It really touched my heart. And you’re right, one day you wake up and you realize you didn’t cry today. ❤
It's always the people with the greatest nature. RIP 🕊️
The problem isn’t so much the Rappers or the Rap culture but more of the people who come from the same struggles seeing these guys succeed and feel they feel a type of way about it and their first instinct is to bring this guy down a level, weather it be jumping them or killing them and that is near impossible to change sadly!
From my perspective (I'm french) there's two reasons from all those deadly shootings in Rap : American culture about cash and guns, let me explain
In France we've got the same lyrics, rappers talking bout moving bricks, guns, gangbanging, killing oops ... But we've never seen something like because you can't find guns that easily (I'm from the hood and I've seen a gun held by somebody that's not a cop or from the military maybe once or twice In my life) and because rappers don't walk around with 500k+ in jewelry in cash, in France we ain't got a cash culture, we're never moving with cash except if you're a plug or working unlicensed and your boss pays you under the jacket, so there's no reason to shoot somebody and it's not easy to find a gun in the first place. Lyrics don't kill people, guns do, and if you're a celebrity and you're moving with a mili on you you're just a moving target , you'll never see Cole or Kendrick get smoked at a party, rappers need to move smarter , RIP takeoff tho 🙏
Y’all didn’t need this episode.
Really didn’t need to hear this.
RIP x Take care everyone
One of theirmost powerful episodes…we must find a solution.
Great words Mal fr fam R.I.P Takeoff
NO MORE CHECK IN !!!
Tell J Prince JR ...KICK ROCKS BRAW
We’ll just have to admit that the culture is extremely toxic, and the hood workarounds are NOT foolproof. “Checking in” is extortion, and you never know when you’ll have a Brutus in your crew.
The death in our community is devastating and leaves lasting marks forever….::I want celebrities to get back to being celebrities , when seeing them was rare and unexpected. The problem is the labels push them to be more accessible via social media and that’s part of the problem. They worked way too hard to get where they are to be amongst regular people who harbor hate and jealousy because they didn’t get where they wanted to go. SIP to Take off and everyone lost to senseless gun violence 🙏🏾😇
Bro started wit his bros and changed rap culture AT 17!! God I’m so mad man
I love how they did their own thing keep grinding ❤
" *These violent delights have violent ends* , And in their triumph die like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness, And in the taste confounds the appetite." - William Shakespeare
Y’all might feel like your input in this is useless, but I’m sure some people clicked so we can all mourn together rather than alone. That might be super trivial but in this culture - this life we’re all riding this timeline for the next 50-100 years and after that, no one alive today will be alive then.. so let’s just spread joy and camaraderie between each other til it’s over.
And and and it's its its umm prayers and condolences healing - mal
Many valid points made. This has been a sad week man
I really think rappers getting together to come up with an idea, laying down a foundation on how to move around anywhere and everywhere would be a step in the right direction to stop or minimize this from happening as often as it is because we can’t control what others do. Crazies will always roam around, but as a culture we can come together and look out for one another. If someone starts that conversation and takes charge, I think we’ll be getting to better days soon.
Unfortunately it never will. These guys don’t wanna stop with the sly gun references and bars for the hits to be bangers. “Hit him with the schtiiick”. It’s a deep conditioning on our culture that needs to be dispelled. Starts with the mind first, and most are lost..
@@alexandershabazzi8890 I think there’s a small change someone will come along who is accepted without all that comes with the culture and build up from scratch on it. Thing is there’s already rappers like Kendrick who arguably already went through the “glamorizing violence” phase while educating his listeners what comes with that, he already popped off…if he went out of his way to pave the way for the next generation of rappers there’s hope. Not him necessarily but someone like him, there’s a few here and there that can start making moves towards that. We can contribute in that movement, but in order for it to jumpstart it has to be someone with power to get that going.
Just speculating, I know there’s a thousand reasons why this won’t happen but it’s just an idea.
We keep losing rappers every year from gun violence. Last year, over 250 of them died and at least 80-90 percent of them were killed by guns. I was ANGRY when I found out what happened to Takeoff because I listened to Migos a lot in my college years Having another one lost before their time is so upsetting....
RIP Take 🚀 Tired of these conspiracies. WE don’t want to accept the fact that we’re killing each other daily over absolutely nothing. Taking away our legends for what?! RIP man..
Thank you for this. But the 1 thing you all did not discuss is HOUSTON. I been living in Houston for 10 years and it’s a problem
Rory making a lot of sense...Nobody is in a position of power to change this..this is how america was designed
We guna rock yall snot box and turn your TV 📺 OFF over here in England!
We need to normalize therapy and self-healing. We need to normalize humility and wisdom. We need to normalize being sober-minded so you can think. We need to normalize being leaders, not followers. We need to normalize letting mindsets, behavior, and people go that lead to nothing but destruction. We have to love ourselves enough to want better for ourselves and to not wish harm upon anyone else.
Something did happen. Speachs are for campaign. Now is the time for action. We all know what we need to do. Now just put it into motion. Grind it out every day and we will see results
Takeoff was the youngster that looked up to his uncle to his cousin. On videos and stories when things popped off he jumped in. This was no different, his uncle backed off he jumped in.
The reason for checking in is rappers make a living talking about the pain of street life. Many of the rappers are borrowing the image and likeness of real people. The rapper unknowingly may go to a place where the image they portrait is that of a real life perceived enemy or target to certain people.
I agree man I'm 50yrs old I was in my 20s when Pac and Biggie was killed and I remember the shock and sadness that went across the world with them deaths it felt like we were robbed of a part of are then present and future losing them 2 and it wasn't normal to feel that way we never had before and then some years went by during that time more were lost but alot of that was a bigger loss to there local fans then Nip went and it was big because he was are 2nd Pac in a way he had a positive message for the world like Pac I know a lot have been taken but imo it's different when u lose the ones that touch the world and not just the neighborhoods with this culture a lot talents reach the hoods but very few reach the world when they here like Pac Big Nip Takeoff and few others did a lot the others touch the world after they gone that's why they say give me my flowers while I'm here sorry for the long reply just my personal thought on the matter why some hit so hard like this RIP Kirshnik Khari Ball Aka Takeoff and all the many others that been lost we will continue to miss u Rest Easy
I say we boycott music that promotes gun violence and degradation of music, stop getting caught up in how good the beat is and learn how to discern the difference between the two....but until then all this is eh. We are what we perpetuate. Conversations like these are a step forward but we have to really mean what we say.
It basically comes down to those type of people who just walk around thinking that they can take what they want, do what they want. Even when being a known figure in rap/hiphop there’s always that one or two people that feel that they deserve what you got or what you have. And it becomes normal… hittin a lick off someone, poppin off at the Ops. Robbing someone or robbing and killing someone, or just killing someone just becuz he looked at you wrong. Like it has become normal, not just in music but in real life. It’s a crazy world we live in. I just feel like it’s deeper than rap. It’s the people, to me.
(In my opinion of course)
RIP Takeoff. He was calm, collective, and quiet, who was nothing but positive
Wasnt he a criminal?
Mal trying to solve the human condition. God bless em.
This one hit deep….RIH Takeoff 🕊️🕊️
Not dismissing TakeOffs passing but shit like this is gonna continue if we don’t do better as a community, plain and simple. It’s not even about the music- we can make positive music all we want, people still gonna hate. 😕
The music does play a part kids grow up hearing murder murder kill music and wanna grow into that life. It’s not like with video games where we can say it’s ridiculous situations. Especially when the dudes are real killers
I hate when people say community as if women are involved in this. Female rappers are not dying this way
It’s the environment itself. These folks are growing up in impoverished neighborhoods, and when you live in an impoverished neighborhood it’s probably also difficult to find well paying jobs so you have to get multiple jobs and because you have multiple jobs it’s hard to actually raise your kids. Because there are no after school problems kids are just left to figure it the fuck out in an impoverished, negative environment which leads to terrible outcomes. It’s not a “we need to do better”, not totally anyway. You can ask a impoverished community to just make itself better. It requires investment, instead of bailing out corporations maybe help build that hood up.
@@TaylorNicole_ Female rappers aren’t involved in this but women reinforce toxic masculinity just like everyone else.
@@Deemo202 Toxic masculinity is one thing, but how do you get from that to gun violence? Toxic masculinity is reinforced by men and women in communities where gun violence isn't prevalent so I don't think it's a contributing factor.
Rip takeoff.. mal you said this does not happen in other cultures or genres... also those cultures are not spinning the block and making it a jingle that's easy to stick with you🙏
Exactly that. It’s especially more melodic than ever, so the causality in the content of such is even more verbalized without any conscious effort.
They do be overdosing
On drink champs they started talking about rapping about death. I think they spoke about it a little too long he said he wanted his flowers before he died. He gets his flowers and then..... Here we are ..words ARE spells!
That CHECK IN shit started with Detroit. That was the first time I ever heard it "Publicized" and others picked up and ran with it.
If the programming doesn't change nothing else will
This conversation is far bigger than Takeoff . RIP. He is caught up in the same web that everyone else is. Rapper or a typical kid from the ghetto . Rappers are not dying . BLACK MEN ARE DYING
Well said man. Our People are dying over nothing. That has to stop!
Whose killing them 🤔
@@pegobrown9204 Right! Like wtf. All I ever hear is BM are dying but it’s YA’LL killing each other right along with BW and children #accountability
Who killed pop smoke? King von? XXX? PnB? Nipsey? Slim400? Takeoff is currently unsolved but who do you reckon killed him the evil ✡️ that kanye an kyrie got the whole world focused on or ...
@@pegobrown9204 People tend to orget that we all have to be potty trained. We are animals. And most of us, are not bright. Will follow and normalize anything. ANYTHING. Even walking the streets, believing that life is just smashing chicks, getting money by any means, shooting anybody that you have a confrontation with or shooting anybody that your group of fellow dumb followers consider to be "opps" If you tell and show a dumb young boy that it's just life to shoot and take a life like it's nothing. He will start to do it like it's nothing. The streets have dumb ways. And if your parents and community is dumb..or your dad is a bum and your mom is letting ig and rap videos raise you, because she's too busy taking selfies or looking for her next baby daddy, you will not be able to get through any type of tension with another man without trying to kill him. Unfortunately nothing will change.
I feel like checkin in always been a thing! Especially when different coast were not really rockin wit each other. Rappers just really started making money like that, but the genre came from the streets and the streets never left!!! I agree it doesn't belong in hip hop and if u gonna do it to our own it better be happening to everybody!! But that ain't the case!!
can we stop blaming hiphip as a genre? and start putting more focus on the street culture linked to it? rappers like russ or g-eazy or chance are not chilling w street dudes in certain areas and bing in position for danger. certain rappers wanna link w street dudes and think its sweet until things go left. hire real security and not homie security.
RIP TAKE 🚀🚀TRULY A LEGEND🙏🏾
Legends never really die man. Even as someone who wasn't a big Migos fan I saw how they changed and influenced hip hop after they dropped. And mad respect for being such an amazing group in a time of solo artists.
00:12:56 Rory……STOP DOING/SAYING THAT!!!!! To those friends, fans and family who fuck wit you…we don’t care that YOUR SKIN is white. You’re not an allly, you’re OUR BROTHER. So it IS your place to talk about the culture. It’s as much your culture as mine bro. We love you and we are honored you fuck with us the right way!!!
This is a result of the bar being set so low artistically. Street cats started getting into the game and brought their street ways, now the streets and hip hop are synonymous
Facts
Why can't a dude from the streets be truly artistically talented? What should really be addressed is "street" culture in the first place. Instead of dividing talent and street.
“We need to stop this” in response to rappers getting killed is odd to me. Let me explain.
Like Rory said, every case of a rapper getting killed had been different. Whether they be robbery, fight gone wrong, an act of jealousy, drug overdose - whatever. I believe Take was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don’t think Nipsey deserved to die either. Also, wrong place at the wrong time. These cases are not monolithic. I love Mal but saying “we gotta stop this” or “something’s gotta change” is crazy because the streets have been the streets since the beginning. Granted rap music is violent, it’s not always the reason young brothers are dying. Jealousy, hate, anger and trauma among other things are the reasons that people choose to pull that trigger.
R.I.P TAKEOFF ❤
I’m tired of people BLAMING victims for getting killed. That shit is disgusting. Takeoff was a rich hood Nigga who should be able to go bowl with other rich hood niggas. Again, thank you RORY. Mal….. STOP. Take off did everything right
The problem is ...... WE WILL NOT HOLD EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE....
R.I.P Takeoff 🚀🙏🏾
