[@simonmaduxx6777]

Exactly. The only thing tragic is his kids lost thier poppa + a whole crew of folks know who did it, and can give a shit that a black child has no father. I don't wish malice but whomever did it, i hope he gets buried/burned/dragged through the streets. These clowns killed hip hop and turned it into viscously trash music for gang culture. I grew up on it but man, I bop my head to alternative now. Fuck the streets, fuck this, and fuck the clown that killed this young man. Goddammit.

Sad as it is Speedy this is part of hiphop culture. It happens to often and will continue until something changes in the culture. Hiphop glorifys violence, drug dealing, drug use, sexism and many more negative elements. All these things are being pumped into our communities making these guys living legends and in the hood when you are at the top regardless who you are you are a target.

[@jerryokonkwo8449]

As someone who got the chance to see him perform at two homecomings at two of my buddies' colleges, I found him an amiable and down-to-earth individual. I met him with a friend at my friend’s college homecoming, which showed that he had a heart for his fellow students. If someone in his crew killed him, that makes it all the more difficult to understand. For anyone doing well at the moment or on their way, I offer this advice. As soon as you do well, get out of town right away! Do that for good measure.
