Always eerie going back and listening to interviews like this . RIP PNB!🙏

[@iamflashin]

LOVE U PNB ROCK

[@50centricher9]

it's no coincidence either

[@johncigo4081]

right he foreshadowed his own demise smh

[@905north9]

That Kodak Black hook he did is one of the best ever . RIP PNB

[@nobe412]

Horses too

[@Grow_2_Blow]

Gotta check out the song he first dropped in Philadelphia to get his name up, it's called (my city need something) I fukked wit rokk but I feel ultimately he let that dumbass street ni99a code take em out.

[@therealtonyason]

Damn that label shit crazy he definitely would be bigger if he could drop more he so underrated one of the goats fr!🔥

[@exzisd]

Man, he was working and he had the talent too which is the sad thing. I always like PNB but he didn't get the shine he deserved. He helped out a lot of artists now a lot of the artists he worked with are gone, locked up, and he's gone himself. RIP PNB Rock. He definitely had some heat left. I hope he has some records in the vault that we can listen to but it's going to be a while bc right now it's just sad. I'm normally not a big fan of singers and R&B but PNB did it in a way that got me hyped.

[@amberforestrecoreds]

He was a xxL Freshman, and he has has multiple hits with the likes of Kodak

[@exzisd]

@@amberforestrecoreds For sure I love the hits I bought his albums an all that. If it wasn't for his feature work I probably wouldn't have been a fan but him being on Smash with X and so many other tracks put me onto his music. There's artists who make similar music for sure but he was slick. He had mega hits like with YFN Lucci but just didn't ever get the shine he deserved. There's just nothing good about this. I've gone back and been listening to his 2017 music; that was just my favorite year of the 2010s and there was something in the air with music then.

[@bettylanns330]

Every thing they talked about being in LA going to a restaurant an getting rob. He literally painted a picture into existence. Wow, crazy real. Rest well young king👏🏻❤️

[@Igetsitin89]

That might have been his destiny no way around it smh

[@yarchism]

Fetty had a succesfull artists carer number wise in 10 months ...unreal impossible to replicate

[@Mello_Man_Ace]

21:25 this is the part that I can't understand why Pnb worn his jewelry. After being in a agreement with Bootleg Kev about leaving your jewelry at home. And Pnb said unless you have security which he didn't have. Rest easy pnb and ur music will live forever 💯

[@CaliTheTravelingGamer]

Fetty Wap and Pnb Rock was my fav duo back then I hate to see him gone fr shit hurts🙏💯

20:28 is eerie. PNB is discussing the violence in LA and how someone was taken out in a restaurant of all places. Sad that he was met by the exact same fate. 🙏🏾

I swear the AK interview made PnB a Target💯

[@1DAPHNEWRIGHT]

Ak didn't release his interview with Pnb until after he died

[@ForWhy83]

When you break the oath there’s a penalty…he passed with his dignity.. all the money in the world can’t buy their dignity back.. they’ve been coming for him for a few years now..the Lord was with him regardless. Rest in Peace PNB.

[@igot5onit423]

As you get older in life you're gonna realize how ridiculous that statement you just made was.. Now his kids grow up without a father Because he had to keep his dignity in check.. People be acting like they have 9 lives smh

[@ForWhy83]

@@igot5onit423 I am in no way glorifying anybodys death.. that’s that Pharisee spirit in you.. rebuke that, you’ll be better off..Matthew 7:3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brothers eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” Hate to break it to you but there is a spiritual war taking place.. the faster you figure that out.. the better off your offspring will be.. what we do has an effect on our children.. he got right with God but still fell under legalities of the game played with the Luciferians..ever wonder why those one hit wonders never got far, like Luniz whose song you identify with enough to name yourself after which glorifies drug use and dealing, let’s just say they didn’t take the oath. Anybody who rises to be a false idol has taken that oath and indoctrinate our children and generations to luciferian agendas..we all need to get right..

[@jj_hog7833]

What oath did he break.?

[@ForWhy83]

@@jj_hog7833 hidden freemasonry… not the lower level freemasonry regular people are in..when you get to different degrees you have to do certain rituals.. all the false idols/celebrities do them.. examples being men dressing like a woman for a movie/for pictures/comedy sketch, humiliation ritual like getting locked up/rape charge/drug charge, when they are in initiation they normally dye their hair blonde so in there know what time it is, a perfect example is Dennis Rodman, when you get to a certain degree, straight men have to sleep with men, a lot of them refuse at that point, what did Biggie say “money and blood don’t mix like 2 dicks with no chick”… they took him out..he became a sacrifice ritual for Puff Daddy.. Puff daddy skyrocketed after, they usually sacrifice family, look up how many celebrities lost family when they started coming up.. Jennifer Hudson took out like 3+ members, hidden freemasonry is a luciferian cult… look into it.. it will help your family not fall victim.. it gets real deep.. look for the patterns among them all.. PNB pulled out, he says in this interview he was leaving Atlantic.. why did they come for him and not take his girls stuff, her purse, her chain, she was the one they followed online they knew what she was holding..they came only for him.. it was a signal..a statement..
