for me Prodigy, thought he was having a resurgence in his career, that album with Alchemist is so f***ing great one of my favs from last decade
r.i.p.
But at the same time any Chicago rapper tbh. I hate when my city lose some of its talent. Imagine if Chicago from 2010 thru now actually put the gang s*** to the side and got money together. B we would be so unstoppable. We already a top city musically with everything going on, niggas need to get money together and eat and put on the next generation but sadly that’ll never happen.
Prodigy also hit hard and (while not a rapper) MJ. MJ passing away had me sick for months
Mac Miller
Nipsey n mac
Been a fan since the mixtape era
nipsey was getting his shine finally and mac was searching for peace!
Mac and XXX
Mac was such a good artist and was arguably still in his prime and seemed to be getting s*** back together during the Swimming era. Shame s*** went down the way it did. And XXX just because of how jarring it was, I wasn't even a huge fan of his music.
Lil Snupe f***ed me and my big brother up lmaoo, we bonded over his music in middle school
MO3. Dallas hasnt had a real scene or a buzzing artist until recently. MO3 had dope ass potential and he follows that boosie-gates-youngboy lineage which I'm a super-fan of. The way he died was crazy to me. Dude a hood legend. I'll never get over his death. Dallas coulda been a buzzing city like jacksonville and detroit. Sht ended up like Baton Rouge and now it's in chaos
But every single rapper death has made me sad, you don’t want to see anyone die especially so young and we’ve had so many recently man
Yams, Peep, X, Wopo, Mac, Nipsey, Juice, Pop Smoke, Duck, Von, DOOM, DMX, even just recently Lil Loaded probably so many more all within 5 years. And these are all people I followed and was a fan of in their life
Shed a few tears when Mac died, seeing the video of X dead was haunting as f*** too
It’s a lot more moments I remember too smh, hip hop has been through a lotttt
