damn. do i really wanna be in the rap game???
Cash if Pac, Big, JMJ, Freaky Tah, Chamaflauge, Soulja Slim, & Proof’s shooting deaths ain’t discourage you by now…dont this one either. Yeah nobody wants to be a target, but if we let the dumb things people do stop us from doin what we dream off….well you get the point fam. Keepin grindin, FuKk that.
shit. the way i see it. if you rap. sooner or later you’re gonna get busted at. whether its haters or just niggas lookin for fame off your name…. crawfish in a bucket.
aint discouraged…imma just wear my jetson blue bulletproof vest. lol like a metro’ed out ’50 cent…. jess call me 27 cents…:)
WOW, wasn’t expecting this one at all, his album didn’t even see the light of day either.
I’m pretty sure it isn’t JUST the “rap game”, you just don’t get shot for no reason.
yeah, that RIGHT THERE is deeper than rappin. Besides, cats in LA will get it in on you over the SLIGHTEST THING yo. An I’m not JUST sayin that, I know cats from there that will tell you that.

you do get shot for no reason. if you just chillin and you get merc’d shiid what can you do???
I doubt this was a random act of violence. I even doubt that it was out of jealousy. This is MY OPINION but didn’t Akon and Suge Knight have beef earlier this year? Didn’t Akon’s people beat up Suge at the W Hotel in Arizona for the NBA All Star game this past February? Sounds like retaliation to me. Its sad man, R.I.P.
but hell what this lil nigga do? aint even never heard of him? why sacrifice him…?
It wouldn’t be a sacrifice at all, it’d be a blow to his label & his money. Like they’d almost be saying “I got you, what you gonna do now?”
black on black crime always sickens me
But here’s the problem fellas. We so caught up on street cred! That’s why folks made such a big deal out of Ricky Ross! DAMN THAT!!!!! I usually don’t cuss (when I link my real name to stuff) But this is crazy! Just about everybody who is successful had some kind of struggle. I bet you that Colin Powell probably used to sell waters at the Subway. (“GAMBLE”) But real talk, I just want Cash to be careful and say a little prayer for himself and the homies. He should be alright. I just hate to see black on black violence. I hate it!
You are absolutely right Zach! We are too caught up in the street cred/stop snitching thing. Where did this come from? This has got to stop. If we don’t stop it now more people will lose their precious lives and it won’t just be celebrities. I will say this though, a lot of men these days are scared. They’re scared to get an ass whuppin so they keep the heat on them. If push comes to shove and you need to protect yourself then I understand why someone would own a gun. But if you’re someone from the street and only use a gun to show your toughness then you’re just a pussy. Plain and simple. I don’t care who you are.
My bad homie….I meant to spell your name right Zack!!! LOL!!!!
Don’t worry B.E.B. Zack is short for Zachariah. (Aw man. Now I told my real name and it’s coming up in the search engines)
Watch out for the haters, they might post gay pics and say its you! Lol just kidding!
I couldn’t agree more, very valid point B.E.B.!
