#Hiphop this week:

Earlier this week the community was mourning the death of Takeoff & the gun violence that snatched him away. The videos & images of the aftermath. May he RIP and may his family, friends, fans and loved ones be comforted in their time of mourning his tragic death. By Friday, a major hip-hop artist set his anger against a Black woman surviving gun violence to music.

"This bitch lie 'bout getting shot but she still a stallion"- Drake


This entire thing has been an ordeal for her. Being shot at was traumatic enough. Since then, she has had to endure harassment from people both in the hip-hop industry and outside of it.





Stop using my shooting for clout bitch ass Niggas! Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot ! You niggas especially RAP NIGGAS ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her

Hip-hop hasn't escaped the escalation of gun violence that plagues the entire rest of the United States.  From workplaces, homes, to schools where even the youngest school-aged children have been murdered on what was supposed to be a normal day of classes. 

These recent years have been deadly, with one young Black male rapper after another being senselessly murdered in cold blood.  Mostly, the community comes together in mourning & grieving. Mostly. 

Until one of the shooting victims is a woman.
Or, until people can try to create a way that a woman was "at fault" for a male rapper being murdered. 


Women and girls who are victims of crime just don't get the empathy and compassion that they deserve, whether they themselves were shot or witnessed the shooting. At this writing, it is my understanding that a young woman who was in the crowd was also shot at the same time that Takeoff was. But, little to no mention of that...of course.

Time and time again we see that money, fame, and millions of fans around the world doesn't change that.

Give some of these men money, adoring fans, & a mic and they *will* use it all to hurt women. The men who long to do the same are loving it. I wish Megan & Serena peace beyond understanding today.
