Rapper Pop Smoke dead

[DJCandle]

again...i`m telling y`all we need a behind the music on this very obvious conspiracy ....

They’re never gonna give us that fam. “Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.”

Them CAC’s live and die by that.

What we REALLY need is control in the game. Our own mediums. Our own studios. Our own branding. Our own marketing, lawyers, publishing etc.

We NEED to control what WE put out.

Only then can we begin to dream of initializing change.

what?
arrested development went platinum
latifah back then on her conscious shit went platinum
xclan always went gold
and so on
the shit sold very well and then it was silenced

In my post, I said their were a “Couple” that moved units.

Let’s play a game...

The “Positive” music Arrested Development’s first album came out in 1992 and sold 4 million units.

The “Negative“ music Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic” also came out in 1992.

Can you take a guess at which one was more successful?

 

[alexw]

They may have not been moving units, but they were motivating movements of positivity, and pride in oneself.

thats false
they moved plenty of units...gold was the standard back then
that east coast west coast shit created by the media was the death of that movement

Rapper Pop Smoke Killed in Home Invasion

Up-and-coming rapper and leader in the Brooklyn drill movement, Pop Smoke, was killed Wednesday morning. According to Fox LA, the rapper, born Bashar Jackson, was in a Hollywood Hills home owned by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and her husband around 4:30 a.m. when two men wearing masks and hoodies broke into the house. Per TMZ’s law-enforcement sources, the men fired several shots, critically wounding Pop Smoke. The two suspects were seen fleeing on foot. Pop Smoke was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The suspects have not been caught or identified. It’s unclear if Pop Smoke knew who they were. He was 20 years old.
Pop Smoke’s hit “Welcome to the Party,” from his debut album Meet the Woo, achieved major success and was remixed twice with Nicki Minaj and grime artist Skepta. The Canarsie, Brooklyn native was one of the rappers on the forefront of the Brooklyn drill movement, a new version of the Chicago and London drill styles that came before it. His collaborations with U.K.-based producer 808Melo have earned praise from Nicki Minaj, Rico Nasty, and many more. Love from his collaborators, fans, and friends has already starting pouring in on social media.

the argument isnt what album sold more..thats stupid since the chronic crossed over into the mainstream
the point is that there was a market for both
so why was the other purposely destroyed when it sold well?

They “Crossed Over” too.

But that’s not the point.

Man people listen to what they like, the masses gravitated towards the negative.

I literally just showed you an example of positive rap selling 4 million and Dre selling I think 6-8 million.

The masses spoke.

yes the masses said arrested development was a huge fucking success
youre speaking like 4 million records wasnt phenomenal..especially during the early 90s
what are you talking about

 

[zod16]

niggas rap about murder and self destruction and cats get sad when they die by murder and self destruction
niggas pointing imaginary guns at the camera imagining shooting someone who look like themselves
just another white supremacist gone in my eyes
and since niggas aint nothing but the soldiers of white supremacy
its simply bye nigga!

I was damn near in college before I got this. It hit me when I realized you could say or discuss anything on a record including talking about rape and fucking corpses but the words "jew", "kike" and "cracker" would always be edited out even on the uncut version.

 

[mailboxpimp]

Never heard of him

The Chronic was a “Huge-er” success.

Exactly what is your point again?

My statement is that people like negativity and that negativity sells. Look at the some of the most glorified movies in our community, “Scarface” etc...

Before you start, yes I know “Driving Miss Daisy” was a popular movie too but that’s not the point!

Does it really matter because those are crossover numbers. What matter most is how they sold in the "hood" and their influence in the "hood"..

the album that crossed over was the chonic
it became a pop classic
whites wasnt listening to how proud it is to be black
and if anyone is of age here, we remember the reports that 80 to 90% of gansta rap was bought by whites

niggas sit in front of the idiot box all day fantasizing about a lifestyle theyll never obtain and base their behavior off of that image

The idiot box is also in the palm of their hands as cell phones with the shit they see & push constantly on social media.

It's the new idiot box on steroids that's fucking up the minds of so many of our people, young & old.
