Chicago's rap scene basically ended before it could get off the ground

[XThe GreatestX]

Not sure how many people here are interested in this sorta music. But Chicago i'd say in the last 10ish years or so had some interesting talent coming up. and now they are mostly all dead....pretty sad stuff. good song about some of them, but Duck himself (who was pretty decent) is also dead......silly shit what's happening out there.

Chief Keef hiding out in LA.

Probably not even safe there. Some rapper got popped in the Hollywood Hills not that long ago.

Crazy that the lunacy they’re perpetuating comes back to get them.

It's as if gang affiliations, talking shit about other gangs, guns everywhere, and drinking lean every day is a bad combination.

Let's cross our fingers they all die painful and horrible deaths, and their "music" with them.

Why? Just why? There was so much promise....

Rap is the only industry where the participants die more often than pro-wrestlers

pop smoke from NY was not built the same as chief keef and lil durk . durk confronted rapper the game at a club. pop smoke was moving like an idiot in L.A and left his address out there. freddo santana could have been huge but he died of organ failure from drugs.

It's tough to see. There's a lot of passion and energy in these guys, the ambition is undeniable. They're completely lost though and trapped in a cycle of pointless violence. It's a damn shame the gangster shit took off and "woke" rap became so niche. The old heads were trying to warn the young guns that the shit wasn't worth it and it only made it worse when it went commerical.

People who glorify gun and violence as a way of life getting killed by people who adopt guns and violence as a way of life?

Chicago need to get their priorities straight. All those tattoos and street cred but you throw like a girl?

 

[ScarfaceJr]

Gee it may have something to do with the destructive community that gets perpetuated in that area.

Oh what? You say the music they make also perpetuates destructive nonsense as well? I'm so shocked.

Blm tho right? Right?
