    Man, you talk about hate but all you've done is over-generalize and hate all over Americans yourself. I've been to Europe many times, and there have been PLENTY of unsafe neighborhoods I've walked through in Paris, Brussels, Rome, Milan, London, Barcelona, Madrid, etc. The rappers you named have NEVER promoted violence. All they've ever done is shed light on what's happening in their neighborhoods, and tried to get some positive change to happen through their music. Yes, there are rappers who glorify gang life, but honestly that culture has faded FAST in the last decade. In fact, guys like Nipsey, Kendrick, and Travis are a big reason why.

    EDIT: I'm also going to add an edit because I think it needs to be said. The vast majority of Americans are GOOD people with GOOD values. People who stereotype and use their hate to try and elevate themselves over others only further divide us, and cause us to question who we are as a people. It needs to stop.

    Did you actually live anywhere else?

    Lived 2 years in Brazil, lived one year in Netherlands.

    After all that, I knew I was American.

    If you haven't even gone there, lived there, worked there, paid taxes there, then you have no idea so you shouldn't even say anything.

    That's so sad. This photo came from when Harden won MVP. Nipsey posted this on his page and said something like "my beard was more craccin than cuz beard" lol. They were having a beard-to-beard. Praying for Harden and all those who were close to Nipsey Hussle.

    doubt this dude will last long in prison...he’ll be a definite target

    people are willing to take life for some insignificant sh*t making moves off of emotion and not strategy

    enjoy your time in prison Eric Holder...

    People need to stop pointing fingers at guns and hood culture and start pointing fingers at mental illness & ADHD meds. THOSE are the real sources of gun violence in the U.S today. You wanna solve gun violence? Stop pretending like you care about mental health and actually do something, then

    Um.. I’m pretty sure this had nothing to do with adhd meds or mental problems.. dude was just willing to kill over disrespect, streets are real out there. Those who aren’t from there wont know.

    "dude was just willing to kill over disrespect"

    What is mental illness, again? Oh yeah. Got it. Thanks for proving my point. You're quite clearly mentally ill if that's your motivation to kill.

    I don’t think that’s mentally ill.. people do stupid things when they’re upset.. in this dudes case, he just didn’t give a Fck about getting caught up/ consequences. Mass shootings, now those people are mentally ill.

    Apparently he was trying to check himself into a mental health clinic. But that could be because he knows he’s a marked man inside and out.

    I’m sorry but you can’t argue that people need to point fingers at mental health over guns. Gun control is obviously the key. You can be the craziest dude ever but you can’t shoot anyone if you don’t have easy access to a gun.

    Not saying mental health isn’t an issue either but the way people try to ignore the issue of gun laws is disgusting.

    I honestly think it’s the dumbest thing ever that guns are legal. Just my personal opinion.

    Arguing on the internet is a mental illness too

    Not sure if it's been posted, but some Nipsy/Rockets-related clips (NSFW audio) :



    Love his response to when the guy asks if the fight would give Ingram more street cred after the fight. lol.

    Cure them -> get money once

    Treat them -> get money for a lifetime

    This is nothing new within the pharmaceutical industry. Not saying it was for these reasons, just saying that you are wrong here.
