Scott was a clearly a good dude, elevating everyone around him, RIP

damn hearing the part about him fighting for his life while his homie tried to hold his hand is sad af

[@keishabonner7309]

I always heard about Scott's death but never knew the details--thank you for educating us. This man truly was a saint. He was a pioneer of hip hop and no one ever gave him his due or memorialized him. But KRS one always acknowledged him. RIP Scott La Rock.

@@zaydagoat6952 how am I disrespecting him. Scott La rock was ahead of his time owning his business and he was tryna to get KRS to sign the deal with Warner bros the only reason why they didn’t was the money was low BUT if they sign and got the small money they would own their masters how many artists own their masters. Let alone if they sign that deal they could been doing lots of stuff.

They started off with tension that Scott believed was dead and squashed, but ppl will hold on until they see the opportunity. I don't put anything past anyone. They signed to a major label and we know how they feel about us preaching unity. They could've very well paid off K and D to get this over conscious man out their way. RIP. SCOTT

There are folks, to this day, that blame D-Nice for what happened to Scott La Rock.

[@tommystrawnarm2810]

The way I look at it, why call him if all people? Like dude had beef with people, not Scott. I would’ve called the cops to go to the scene if it’s that dyer. He lost his life showing up to help him An when they get there he ain’t around. Think about it, there wasn’t cell phones back then. You either landline call or pay phone. He’d still be alive hadn’t he called him An involved him in what he had going on. KRS did the right thing not dealing with him. Because it was that call that started it all. Rest up Scott

[@hueycotton]

This made me research if there’s a list of all the rappers who have been killed since the inception of hip hop. Although it’s impossible to document all artists, there is a pretty extensive list. There’s also stats showing that hip hop artists have anywhere from 5 to 32 times higher chances of dying from murder. 2022 is the year with the highest amount of rapper deaths at 7. Fuckin 7 in one year. Wild. I encourage y’all to do some research on it, it’s really interesting to see how the frequency of murder is increasing in the era where so much of the music is about killing. Sad, but interesting 🤷‍♂️

I saw a documentary where some people think that KRS- One set Scott up to be killed because he was jealous of his talent. I don't think so but it's a crazy theory.

[@TYBO-xl1xz]

Nobody that was around or knows them thought that. Scott was a big brother to Krs , he would never

[@tommystrawnarm2810]

I heard the same thing to. I think that before viewing this document that’s the conception I had. But now it points at D Nice an clears KRS. I can’t blame KRS for not wanting to be around him after Scott passed. A good dude passed in Scott

[@DavidKeithWilliams-hg5nm]

I saw Boogie Down Productions in concert for the first time within 8 months of Scott La Rock being murdered. Many of the people my age that love hiphop do not know the impact of Scott's death. Had he not been murdered, there would have absolutely not been any boundaries to his production abilities. Many people view Premier, Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, RZA, Kanye West, and Dilla as the greatest hiphop producers ever. I am one of those people. However, Scott would have been right there with them. Two other people that were either murdered or killed in the late 1980s and early 1990s that would have had a huge impact on hiphop were Paul C and Subrock. I often think about what hiphop would have been or would be right now had they lived. Rest in peace to Scott, Paul, and Sub. God rest their souls.
