    It feels strange that this mans death just passes through the media cycle like nothing. I cant seem to exactly put it into words but its just a weird feeling seeing drake and 21 make jokes on fake howard stern interviews merely days after the tragedy.

    dont get me wrong, i get it, its business. they dropping an album so they've already planned out the promo but something about how we experience news and tragedy doesnt rly give us time to grieve and process when we constantly move on to the next new thing. we get desensitized to these stories and dont rly grasp the full implications of whats happening. i just hope we dont lose our empathy in the name of spectacle smh.

    You see how you literally turn these men from people into just criminals?
    These are just people with backgrounds similar to the Migos (poor and crime-susceptible). If Offset/Quavo/Takeoff didn’t rap, would you also just disregard him as simple a criminal in around other criminals?

    Them niggas was criminals stop it slime

    I've been thinking/feeling the same. Altthough it was a good distraction, the whole thing just doesn't feel right. I think it was fairly obvious that the rollout was supposed to be one "fake" roullout clip a day, but this disrupted it and delayed it only 48 HOURS. they both addressed it on IG and then crammed everything in on Wednesday.

    The fact that two days is enough for everyone to get over something this tragic is eerie. It really did feel like this hit everyone hard, but like you said, everyone's too desensitized now, so here we are 5 days later and it's already lived it's full media life. Unfortunately, no one with power and a following gives a f*** now, they got their clicks off of it and now it's time to move on. It's just sad.

    inaccurate and unnecessary i feel like, in terms of this thread. this comes across as you minimizing something because other things are still happening. people grieve and still do what they have to do day in and day out. RIP Take.

    not how i meant it to come across and i apologize if it did, but i felt like i was doing the opposite of minimizing the situation. I don't think anyone's in the wrong for how they grieve, i was only shedding light on the fact that these corporations and personalities got their impressions and will now move to the next topic, which shouldn't be the case. This is so much bigger than music.

    RIP Take.

    I appreciate your response. I think and hope @GODFLOW's post wasn't to focus on the music that dropped this weekend. there are plenty other things happening and that will continue to happen. really, it's sad but, only our personal worlds can stop when tragic things happen, so to speak. the world itself has to keep its movement. if that makes any sense at all. not tryna dissuade you from your view or anything, just a different perspective. be easy fam.

    i think we're on the same page, just semantics. it's the sad reality of these tragedies - i think @GODFLOW was focusing on the desensitization of the world, not the music. as i was too, the world has to (and will) continue, i'm just hoping there's some positive change on the horizon

    I wish they gave Takeoff his flowers. Not even after his death they do. As part of Migos, he was one of the most influential rappers in the 2010s.
    Migos, Travis, Future, Thug influenced the whole world to make trap music. From Mexico to Europe to the Middle East, everyone tried to make trap music.

    Even crazier is the change in subject matter from drake and the Houston shoutouts in such a short time after lol

    Not saying he should have changed it but just a weird sequence of events

    And if the shooter really is killed this short after and it’s the yellow hoodie nigga that’s in pics with j prince. They about to have hella eyes on them and that adds a whole nother twist to drake being affiliated so hard lol

    All because of one crash dummy

    Looked him up.

    Only 16.
    I’m so so tired of this s*** man.

    Now police gonna ask quavo’s camp more questions/might implicate they had something to do with this.

    This was the most unfortunate (yet somewhat predictable) sequence of events to follow.

    Now this s*** is deadass getting me depressed. I’m outty.
