he was a one trick pony musically so im curious where he could of gon as a artist but he caught insane lighting in a bottle and was still green so who knows he might of leveled up

having said that the most likely scenerio is he gets indicted

got an uber in Barcelona and the driver was playing Von

Great rapper who should had never seen that level of fame and infamy

He got some bangers

He only rapped for 2 years, and by the end he was definitely figuring out new styles and experimenting with different type of beats

I wouldnt say he was a one trick pony he just blew up fast. He started rapping in 2018 and died in 2020

on von

Brandon Ingram put me on crazy story

a lot of ink has been spilled over how kanye changed rap, but much less has been over how in 2018/19 the streets took over again. and durk and von were at the epicenter of that.

that's why drake started making songs like Daylight and even Kanye was talking about being violent on record.

it also played a role in the commercial death of rap. you can play songs like I Don't Like or I Hate Being Sober at your frat party. you can't play durk and von songs in the same way because even 0 self awareness frat boys know it'd be a bad look.

i have a violent felony and that music is too much for me.

apple music spammed von's music. i don't hear people play it, but i hate how where i live people speak about him with such reverence. like he's some kind of hero.

ofc when i caught a charge a lot of them treated me like i had a contagious disease. but they think idolizing von makes them cool.

He’s got white people in Wales swearing “on Von” which is remarkable for a serial killer

Basically drill killed hip hop. (Ironic considering genre’s topic) Turns out the streets scare the hoes lol.

Every artist that participates in its minstrelsy either go to the grave or to the pen. Infecting every goddamn state’s scene it touches (shoutout to Atlanta no longer setting the tone after decades and now wave riding with our own “drill”)

This why the old folks loved that metro mixtape. Brought us back to when s*** was
f u n

We shoulda kept it to dance tunes

#RapAboutFruitsNigga

plenty of those involved with the scene metro was referencing met untimely ends or spent time in jail. almost all the rappers who made drill never had any hope of a happy ending, most people from that environment don't.

and that's without even thinking about what a "happy ending" looks like. many in the middle class need pharmacuetical or illegal d**** to tolerate their lives.

i kind of want to write a rambly essay on the topic, but in short maybe living self destructively is as worthwhile as any other path, and drill is just the internet shining a light on the unhappiness that will always exist in america.

Von overall made terrible music. Has like 8 good songs. Persona means a lot tho

It’s barely January and op talking about November anniversaries lmao

RIP TO MY IDOL’S IDOL (BLOODHOUND LIL JEFF)

armed and dangerous is a legendary hip hop track
