    Charlamagne was 100% correct. Stop wishing things were different and live in reality. If you have, stay away from the have nots. Flexing that you're in the hood is never the correct choice.

    Angela Yee is right. A lot of times these guys in the streets arent starving or desperate. They just want to live the street life and want the clout from being known to be in the streets.
    That’s why as a culture we have to stop embracing the streets and folks in the streets so much.

They didn’t break any windows, he left his door unlocked. He says he should be able to leave his doors unlocked if he wants to because he worked hard for his stuff, but I told him, that’s true, you SHOULD be able to, but that’s not the reality we live in fam.

    As a youth, I used to live in Long Beach across the street from the milk dairy on California Street, known now as MLK, St. I currently live in The Valley/Los Angeles area. I don't wear jewelry in certain places because I want to live. PNB Rock was in a "VERY BAD" area, which is considered the Belly of the Beast. Also, I grew up in Long Beach, by Kings Park, down the street from Snoop, The Twins, and Warren G. I was never afraid of the gang members back in my day. Actually, they were a form of protection for me. But, this is a differnet world now. We have to make better decisions and strategic moves with efforts to stay safe, and that pertains to where ever you live or go. I am in agreement with Charlmagne and his PERSPECTIVE ON THIS ISSUE IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My prayers and condolences goes to his two little girls, friends, fans and family. Rest in peace, Rock. This situation is beyond pathetic and so sad. I am so tired of this. Everyone, please protect your families and continue to stay safe and healthy. God Bless, from an elder ❤🙏

      Well, unlike our community, when they leave a bad or messed up situation or environment they dip and don’t look back. They don’t feel a sense of obligation or need to “Be with their people in the hood.”.
      I remember the Game a couple years back talked about the moment that made him say “f*** this, I’m out!!!” And leave his hood. He said a drive by happened (I think he was the target even) and although he was ok, that shit hit his kid’s car seat dead in the headrest. SMH, he was hella lucky but that shouldn’t have been the reason. Mind you, this happened when the Game started poppin during “The Documentary” days…

There’s no, it shouldn’t be this and that…IT IS THIS AND THAT and that’s all one needs to know to move right. If you wanna be truly FREE, the rap lifestyle and luxuries that comes with it is not part of God’s Law and neither is jewelry. There is a grey area but it seems only artists like J.

      Like yes, a lot of things could've been avoided. But stop excusing these criminals that be doing this dumb shit. I'm glad dude called him out for that too...cause I was just saying that. He tried to hold his feet to the fire...but then Charlamagne talking about lack of opportunities....like that excuse why they killing. TF?? Then he tried to group us all in this shit...like Bruh...yes there are systematic shit going on...but that doesn't give ppl a reason to act this way dude. Cmon now. SMH!

      with this whole Black Lives Matter trend be glad in 2003 my hispanic female rap musician friend did not reveal this same information that people are using as an excuse to commit recent Anarchy.
      What does this have to do with PNB rock death?
      This society makes it seem like it is a black-on-black crime but a lot of times many shady white people and hispanic do be studying blacks who appear successful or getting by only to sabotage them.
      A friend of mine who's African American and lives in Portland, Oregon collects bottles and cans for $$$ with each can, plastic, or glass bottle costing 0.10c a piece to cash in. Since he was doing it for 10 years he's had mostly white people question him sometimes even attempted to attack him over it. He witness many whites recycle to make money and there were never any problems until he started collecting and recycling.
      Just remember the white people were the ones studying these probably black teenagers on youtube and social media shaking their asses until they came across the Twerk team and took that name and now a person shaking their ass is now a big thing. Remember blacks do not own mainstream media and Bill Cosby began suffering his troubles when he attempted to buy CBS.
      I swear people do not get it when it comes to true current racism.

This is one of the main things I struggle with in raising my children, especially in/around hip hop culture. I tried to inject them with all the principles, morals, and responsibilities of being a good, hard working, upstanding person in this world; however, IT IS IMPERATIVE that I make sure they understand not everyone thinks like this and that there is constant danger they must be aware of. We can talk until we're blue in the face about how things should be and how people should be, but if we don't acknowledge, accept, and prepare for how things are, we won't survive. So for everyone out there try to have balance and I wish you good luck.

For example, when sharing pictures of my daughter online, or even something as simple as going to the beach... I make sure she is covered up, and age appropriate... because although we say to ourselves that no one should be looking at our kids in a sexual manner, that is not the unfortunate reality. So we take certain steps to protect them. Don't simply look at things for the way we wish it could be, but how it actually is. Be PROACTIVE.

      I agree with Charla, but you're absolutely right, that 3rd caller was correct too... and Charla kinda dismissed his point. Yes, we have been put at a disadvantage systematically, but there are also plenty of opportunities that we did not have in the past that are very much so available today. We cannot simply continue blame this on the system. It's just that a lot of people don't want to work for it, and see it as easier to just take it from the next person. I know many people, raised in poverty, who overcame hurdles to make it out. It starts with education. Tell these kids the truth... not everybody can be a millionaire, live in a mansion, and have nice cars... Not everyone can be a rapper or an athlete. Kill the jealousy and envy at young... and stop the idolization of celebrities, and social media stars. This is causing the drive for them to steal what they THINK they can't have or work for. Also, a lot of mainstream rap glorifies violence, but no one wants to talk about that part. These stations will continue to play these peoples music, and they still get bookings to do shows etc. Then we have to continuously have conversations like this... surrounding X rappers death. It's a vicious cycle that won't end.

      Most corruption and crime in society is top-down. Whenever folks begin to talk about the crimes of the poor and oppressed in a society, they have to start by looking at the top and the system in which it operates. We live in a society that provokes crime (i.e. capitalism). Everything is working as it was designed. In a perfect world, all gang members and street criminals would have the spirit of our revolutionary ancestor George Jackson but that's not where we are.
      Unfortunately, Black criminality in its current state often serves two purposes: 1) Communal repression - Black predatory behavior targeted towards other oppressed people helps to prevent any type of awakening or uprising that would be otherwise targeted towards the oppressor ruling class. 2) Protective stereotyping - the true criminals (oppressors, ruling class, racists, Black misleadership class, etc.) can absolve themselves of their crimes by simply pointing at all the criminal shit going on in the poor and oppressed communities. This happens all the time which is how the "black-on-black crime" term came to be.
      Amos Wilson broke this all down in his book, Black-On-Black Violence: The Psychodynamics of Black Self-Annihilation in Service of White Domination. It's dense but it's a good read if you can get through it. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome by Joy DeGruy Leary is another good read.

    Charlamagne was on point with everything he said. If you buy flashy things, you gotta protect it, and if you can't protect it don't buy it. I also agree with DJ envy. If you work hard for what you got, you should be able to do and go wherever you want. But unfortunately things changed and people changed over time and over the years.

    Exactly! It is definitely always about what we know to be true. Nothing we want for values are ever valued by criminals. People, these folks are brutal, and never will do what you want. So, make certain that you are aware and alert from the moment that you walk out of your front door. Being flashy is not going to salvage you from criminals or protect you from harm. If you want to invest, invest in body amour, education, and give back to your neighborhoods. You can be a star, and not have to live like that. Just be yourself, and remember, the neighborhoods do not have it like that, and do want to know that you are there with it like that not contributing but thinking it's o.k. to flaunt it to those who have nothing. So, don't do it! As well, please, please, do not dress your kids like that. Just be incognito when they revisit the hood, that way, you can be and stay well. Your life is much more important than stuff. As well as the life of your family and children, so do not jeopardize them. 🤗
