Folks vilified tmz for the nasty biz, Ak and those like him should be held to the same scrutiny

 

[Magic33]

When y’all ****** use words like “monetize” I know y’all just regurgitating some **** y’all heard somebody else say, that’s one of them internet buzz words

No, it's real

Someone dies and they look for interviews or to find out more about the person.

Reposting old vids is an effort to profit off their death. You're bumping what you already had posted prior.

 

[sneakaprince]

Once again, he’s a reporter. It’s his job, he get paid off whatever he posts I’m guessing. He not supposed to do his job?

I think people are alluding to it being blood money or profiteering off of death and destruction of communities you A. Don't racially/ culturally identify with B. Don't give back to after making said profit.


I could be mis-reading tho.

Checking in and knowing people is real.

and also moving dolo or with your chick. Posting your location.

Walking around with a bunch of jewelry like Sauce. Dudes when they see you if you don't stand out they're going to be like, is that him. They aren't going to know it's you.

All the white people in LA who have money, they blend in.

There's plenty of ways to move smarter.

Checking in is not real, not in the way that it’s framed. There’s no boogeyman gang member that all rappers have to check in with here in LA. As long as you aren’t a gang member or portraying to be one then you’re fine in that regard

****** are robbing and killing. It takes next to nothing to see someone (rapper or not) driving a nice car or wearing nice jewelry, and boom. Potential lick. Has nothing to do with posting a location.

Should he have been moving with security? I suppose so, and maybe that’s how he could have been moving differently and even so, you’re gonna have security 24/7? I can’t even eat my lunch?

****** having weapons and feeling emboldened to steal and kill and why that is is the bigger issue, I think

He just interviewed PNB last week, I watched it

 

[P C H]

Moving with security is the solution. And staying out of places you don’t need to be.

Unfortunate but it is what it is.

Yeah he could have had security for sure

But what happens when he doesn’t? They’re gonna be there 24/7? They robbed and killed him in broad daylight

Idk just sucks

 

[P C H]

**** like this really nasty work for real. Soon as some **** like this happen he drop this exact clip

To be fair to Ak (in this particular instance) he’s been rolling out the PnB interview over the last week or two. Likely pieces of the interview would have been coming regardless this week

 

[sneakaprince]

****** having weapons and feeling emboldened to steal and kill and why that is is the bigger issue, I think

****** not valuing the life of blacks in the same way they do the lives of other races is also an issue.

Celebs of other races don't have these issues....

How you shoot a famous person IN an iconic location during the day and not feel like there won't be at least a somewhat thorough investigation of what went down.

It's almost like rappers get killed or robbed and the perpetrators think ppl ain't gonna even bother looking into it.

"Just another ***** dead"

How is it different than a reporter on channel 7 reporting it? Ak and the like make money off everything they post period, that don’t mean they shouldn’t report something just because a ***** died. I don’t think it’s done strictly for profit, they informing their audience

 

[letsgetit22]

Man... ...This **** is sad
Why is shooting him even necessary? You already robbing him.
Damn. You should never be on Main and Manchester if you are not from there. Especially if you if you look like money.

Nah, checking in also gives you a lay out of the land and where and where no to go, and you can also have people go with you. What people to interact with. Who's trouble. And people might not go after you, if they know who else they have to worry about.

There's nothing but nice cars in LA.

Alright Vlad

 

[Magic33]

He just interviewed PNB last week, I watched it

and PNB is still somebodies friend and family member.

He should know that after XXX.

Just like Sauce Walka and dude who was killed. They found out their friend and family member was dead from dude talking ****, while their friend was laying on the ground with a sheet over him.

You can't brag about your money and how much you have(Ak) and then try to profit off dead artist. That's vulture ****.

 

[Magic33]

Damn. You should never be on Main and Manchester if you are not from there. Especially if you if you look like money.

He might didn't want to give it up.

 

[TURBO UNO]

PNB was wearing all that ice. Nice chains etc.

Better chances hitting the Roscoes on Sunset or Pico. He Really shouldnt be anywhere near Manchester

Yeah, I used to live near the area back in the 80s. Figueroa and 90th street, it was bad back then. Can’t imagine wearing all that jewelry on those blocks.

Rest In Peace

 

[ahat]

Damn RIP to dude

Cant say his girl was to blame, but posting your location isnt the smartest thing. Who knows if they even recognized him, more so just saw a guy who looked like he had a lot of money. I hate when they take it from robbery to murder tho, not cosigning robbery but man why take his life too just ruined multiple lives.

I think "checking in" is a good thing as far as talking to someone local and knowing what are places to check out, visit but also areas to possibly avoid or at least be more careful thab you normally would. I did that when i was in LA couple yrs ago, granted im not a rapper/celeb or even a flashy guy but still wanted a heads up on the good and the bad. One OG LA NTer was giving me the scoop, big shoutout to him, dont think he posts here anymore. I remember i matched with some chick off one of the apps and she told me link up with her after some concert. I hit dude up asking what that area she told me to come to was like

 

[ill steelo]

Damn RIP

I think some dudes (especially from a city like Philly) be having LA confused sometimes.

Where PNB is from (Pastorious & Baynton) looks a whole lot different than Manchester & Main. But it’s still the same environment.

Probably thinking Roscoe’s off of name recognition and the area seemingly being “ok” (relatively speaking).

But you would not see PNB in North Philly at a hood restaurant, on a date with his girl with ice on and a clean whip. He’d kno better.

Craziest thing about LA. Had me tripping on my first visit. Beautiful weather any time of year, the “rough” parts don’t look particularly bad compared to something you’d see in the south/east coast.

Wild disorienting.

 

[P C H]

I still don’t know how PnB Rock ended up at that Roscoes

Pretty bizarre when there’s the one on Pico, the one in Inglewood, the one in Hollywood, even the one in LB,

A famous rapper ending up there is crazy

 

[P C H]

Who’s he checking in with? He’s not a gang member (to my knowledge)

Plenty of rappers come here and don’t check in and are fine

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

The bad parts of LA look nice too, unless youre from here you wouldnt even know.

Stuff goes down at all those Roscoe locations too, the issue was dude was iced out in public, in LA after 2020 thats asking for it these days.

People should be allowed to move freely and floss, but they cant anymore without risk, its just what it is now.

A lot of these crimes dont get solved and when they do, the perp get released on bail immediately, its just what the current DA is on.

 

[Magic33]

She did him dirty.

Be careful who you mess with.

Can’t say that for sure. She probably didn’t even know.

Yeah, she's a bone head. The need for the publics validation has people making questionable decisions. I sometimes share stuff, but you will never know when and where.

People need to stop being so quick to blame her. She just lost her childs dad and partner. That's also an issue with social media without knowing any details, blame someone.

It could have just been being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

[letsgetit22]

He might didn't want to give it up.

I figured that, but didn't want to say he was probably not wanting to give it up.
Although they still popping dudes out here who are willing to give it up.
