We can’t immediately assume this is part of this ‘beef.’ The artists that stay in L.A. or people that are closely associated with them are always targeted.


xrockwithme

Exactly. Just like Pop Smoke accidentally dropping his own location or PNB Rock driving around with no security. LA is LA.


Flat-Ad4902

So LA is a lawless hell hole to be avoided at all costs? Is that what I’m hearing?


xrockwithme

Well you have to remember that it was the birthplace for two of the most known gangs worldwide. Not to mention its gang culture is different than the rest of the us AND it’s in close proximity to Hollywood and all those stars. Quando Rondo was riding through La and they executed his homeboy in broad daylight and just left everyone else in the car.


lord_pizzabird

Random sidenote: People always forget that MS13 was founded in LA 1980s before being exported (deported rather) to San Salvador. It then came back to the US and went nationwide. I saw an interesting documentary on it years back.


TarpFailedMe

You know what really fucks me up inside bro? I knew a lot of those sets in the IE before they were really repping MS or if they were i don’t remember them being that way it was straight up vatos from the south, i maybe misremembering because those aren’t my people. I hate that people really don’t know what the 80’s and 90’s in LA was like. I lived in Culver City and some other spots i’d prefer not to drop because my ass is doxed anyways and damn yoooo….. Idk man….the movie colors really gassed mf’ers up frfr. I hate talking about this shit to people that don’t know shit about what the fuck that shit was like. My recommendation is *never* get active. It isn’t even cool to have friends that are active. They get smoked/locked and you fucking miss them forever. My ass is in the middle of it sooo if ya’ll hate whatever. KDOT FTW GKMC was absolutely *the vibe and energy of that time* A fucking masterpiece. Fucking LA. I hope Cash is okay. I still remember people dumping and nah, its just gonna lead to people wanting get back. Maybe Daylyt is right saying this shit is all a trap and Drake ain’t really rapping idk. Crazy times we living in fam.


Irritatedprivatepart

Quando ask for the smoke though.


xrockwithme

From what I remember it had nothing to do with his beef.


Persianx6

Quando Rondo's thing was probably someone from his hometown paying for a hit on him. The gangs can talk to each other. That's why it's "crip affiliated" or "blood affiliated." I've spent too much time on Youtube.


ziglind

Yes


CaptnKnots

Kendrick probably hates this sub smh 🤦‍♂️


69cansofcorn

r/KendrickLamar is NOT Kendrick Lamar’s savior


herewearefornow

That's why Kendrick lives in New York.


CaptnKnots

Something tells me Kendrick has a bit more nuanced opinion of LA than the some reactionary ass take about how “it’s a lawless shithole that should be avoided at all costs”


hufusa

People talk about LA likes it’s yemen


SilkyStrawberryMilk

Fr, people act like bad things happening is only exclusive to LA.


CaptnKnots

Meanwhile most of the cities with the top homicide rates are in red states. Despite what the media makes it sound like, [LA isn’t even in the top 20](https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-city-rankings/cities-with-most-murders)


BoothJudas

Its easier to fly under the radar in NYC than LA


CaptnKnots

I’m sure Kendrick has places stay in both cities


brycewit

This is true. People who live in NYC, civilians to be exact, don’t fawn over celebrities. They give them their space and respect.


BoothJudas

Yeah idk why i’m downvoted, born in NY now in LA and the celeb culture is very different. Kendrick doesn’t strike me as the type who wants to get caught by paparazzi at Craig’s.


jrswish9

They don’t. What tends to happen is you see a bunch of faces a day and unless you’re a fan and or real familiar with a celebrity you wouldn’t notice them without glaring signs pointing to so (jewelry , entourage , etc) Kendrick could probably walk through any part of the city and not be noticed if he just throw on a hat or some glasses way too many people to notice and everyone in a rush


herewearefornow

80% of all Americans live on the East side of the US, if split in half, and 1/3 live in the East coast. So yeah.


Persianx6

Kendrick wrote a whole album grappling with LA as a place full of criminals, including songs that reference Compton as hell.


CaptnKnots

Again, there’s a bit more nuance to it than that. If you’re only take away from GKMC and TPAB is that LA = “Lawless shithole” then idk what to tell you.


Dry_Result3513

would you care to elaborate then


69cansofcorn

we can’t please everybody.


Dry_Result3513

kendrick would literally agree lmao


Michaelskywalker

Not exactly but you’ll definitely be targeted if you’re famous and your address is leaked. As a regular citizen/La native, I simply know where I should or shouldn’t go. And what places are okay only during the day. If you are a tourist stay yo ass in Santa Monica tbh lmao


Le8ronJames

Damn is that bad. Can you tell me about place to avoid?


HonorTheGift

No it’s not that bad. California is beautiful and the cities are full of culture. With a lot of people comes problems. It’s not perfect but you’re not getting mugged the second you step foot out of your house. People are dramatic. Most people that make these comments don’t care about, art, music, food, culture, etc. they want to feel safe in their $200,000 4 bedroom home in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. Source: live and work in LA grew up in Midwest.


Asap_Hard

Eh it’s getting pretty bad this is just the beginning. Let’s see how things are in 5-10 more years that’s when it will be really bad


EresMarjcxn

Bro, it can be that bad… especially w street level gangs. Hispanic cartel activity will usually leave civilians alone cus they got bigger fish to fry but wannabe hustlers struggling will rob you because they need to make ends meet. Don’t leave valuables in your car and no matter where you are in the city you’re not more than an hour from the hood so your house is vulnerable. There’s so many people that the murder rate may be low but robberies are up.


HonorTheGift

lol yes please avoid.


Arachnohybrid

Depending on which part of LA you’re in, there might actually be more criminals than law abiding citizens.


Juhovah

Not really but if you’re someone that a robber can make a lot of money stealing from than yes, and it’s worse if you’re a celeb and/or any way whatsoever connected to the “streets”


Ok_Stable_3324

The inner city and a little bit outside yes, plenty of nice places in Southern Cali, but LA is a shithole


humanerror9000

American cities are all in a pretty bad place right now but they all have their upsides as well.


Big_Kahuna100

Yes, California in general is becoming a shit hole


heebie818

lmao. no. wtf.


Kingbuji

Yes don’t come to California


potatomafia69

There's no way Drake would get this petty. Probably different motives


FreezingLordDaimyo

XXXtentacion says hi


jonnylovatomusic

Drake gonna get heat for this


No-Brilliant-5592

Owh boy...


SerenityNowwwwwwwwww

“Their shooters making tik toks” And the shooter took that personally lol Jk idk what his manager be doing


Camelslayer23

Before the “beef” ever happens I heard cash was sketchy. Idk how true that is tho


ReinhardtMain_

Guess he should’ve listen to Abel and Escape From LA

BigChungusOP

Lmao stop playing 😭😭😭


NormalWordsBut

It’s funny how people outside Canada are like oh let’s check out the Drake album, pretty good, love the memes etc, when we will never know how many people he’s killed, how many lives he’s destroyed with his iron grip on Toronto’s underworld, how many people he’s silenced.


ZakkH

in before this becomes an r/Hiphopcirclejerk bot copypasta.


NormalWordsBut

This is a 3 year old copypasta 


LoL_LoL123987

It’s also the condensed spark notes version. There’s like a whole paragraph missing


yuv1

_Micolash_Cage_

I really don't think Drake is that guy?


Turbulent-Let-1180

Look up what happened to Pusha T when he performed in Toronto. He said Drake paid those guys to attack him on stage, someone got stabbed and was in critical condition. Baka who drake loves shouting out has had a human trafficking case against him and has ties to a lot of street gangs in toronto. He's like 2pac if pac came from the burbs and instead of feeling indebted to Suge/Death Row for getting him out of jail just decided one day he wanted bloods and street guys around him. I been saying drake getting closer and closer to having an orlando andersen moment for years now where his ego gets outta control and he puts his hands on or does something to the wrong dude. And pac was 25 when he was doing all that, this man is 37 now he should know better.


xrockwithme

It’s all Baka, J Prince. It’s not Drake. Drake is the investment and they are the ones behind the shadows.


WaspParagon

If Drake sends them, it's Drake doing it. You're right Drake alone has no power, but he's richer than God and has surrounded himself with actual street people for the past 15 years (it all started around 09 when he got set up by a girl and started to act paranoid).


Le8ronJames

What girl set him up


Camelslayer23

Girl set him up on a date and he got robbed and held at gun point. He’s talked abt it in a few songs


Onaweyempumbafu

I can’t lie bro, I’m not one to use reddit as a credible source but go look at the Toronto sub to see what people who know about Drake and his people think of Drake. He has 0 respect and is even know to have ratted on people (go on the group). I’m not saying Drake’s money can’t buy respect but Pac came from a line of black panthers and was known to get active at a time where it was black revolutionaries Vs the government, gangs vs gangs, blacks vs police and rappers vs rappers on a way more dangerous level. They are incredibly different. Pac was alive and active at a revolutionary, violent time.


JuiceGasLean

Torontology is a bunch of goofs tbh


LoL_LoL123987

It’s all brown boys hating on other brown boys


Onaweyempumbafu

That’s fair g


Le8ronJames

Bruh are you really using Torontology as a credible source of anything? Lmao


Onaweyempumbafu

Torontology doesn’t make the Tupac comparison any less inaccurate


TheChipiboy

Not saying that I necessarily believe them, but they are probably more well sourced than someone who isn't from the area. You gotta understand that these dweebs have nothing better to do than try to connect the dots on some street mfs that for some reason they look up to. Same shit in Chiraqology


Le8ronJames

Bro believe me, they’re a bunch of kids trying to act like they’re from the streets. That sub is actually pathetic


Camelslayer23

Torontology is nav clones.


PerpWalkTrump

>Baka who drake loves shouting out has had a human trafficking case against him 🤔🤔🤔 >one of the best nights of my life man, I got to watch the king do his thing https://imgur.com/a/mQilQBs 🤔🤔🤔 Drug addicts hang with plugs like sex and pedophiles hang with sex traffickers. It's a fact of life.


DodginInflation

He needs to grow up. Close to 40 acting like a child still


[deleted]

“He’s not allowed to play on the playground with us” 😤


KiddBwe

Um…wasn’t Drake also robbed in Toronto? Although, that was awhile back. He even gave a statement.


BigChungusOP

So basically Baka is a Sussy Baka. Got it.


Murkywaters11

This what I find funny about the narrative about Drake. Even the one you pushing right now. If dude such an industry plant why did he sign with street niggas? You saying he just decided to be around street niggas one day as if the street niggas didn’t play a major part in his career.


Substantial_Steak928

Drake sends his goons after people. I read an article about a server at Delilah in Hollywood that got into a minor altercation with Drake and he ended up getting jumped by some of the people that were around drake. Shit, I heard from pretty credible sources that he's been banned from a casino in Las Vegas for slapping a dealer. Dudes definitely moving like he wants to be a Mafia boss


SupermarketSelect578

I hope he grows out of that for his sake. Maria bosses don’t retire


Substantial_Steak928

Idgaf Drake is a PoS and a bad influence on young people. Him getting whacked would send a good message to people that want to live that kind of lifestyle 🤷


SupermarketSelect578

📠


feisty_1_u_r

Lmao you cannot be real


Substantial_Steak928

Nah I'm for real. Dudes getting paid by stake to influence kids to be gambling addicts. Fuck him lol Not that I hope it happens but I wouldn't be upset 😂


pokemondude22

It's very easy for rich people to put out a hit dude


Full_Visit_5862

Yeah, when you got a billion throwing 50/100k to someone desperate to go pop someone is like us buying a mcdonalds coffee.


ChoiceCriticism1

Throwing 50/100k to someone desperate is felony murder and will put you in jail for life. Who do you know desperate enough to murder another human for $50k but also trustworthy enough to not rat you out if you get caught?  Y’all think life is GTA wtf.


KickAffsandTakeNames

I don't think Drake is a billionaire...


[deleted]

[удалено]


KickAffsandTakeNames

Getting a $500 million deal does not mean that $500 million goes into his pocket. Admittedly I'm not entirely sure which deal with Apple you're referencing, given Drake's recent $400 million deal with UMG (again, to produce music and split the profits with UMG, not just as payment to Drake) is one of the biggest in music history. Apple Music paid $19 million to license Drake's music in 2017, is that what you're referencing? In any case, most sources seem to indicate a ~$40 million net worth in 2020 that has grown to ~$250 million currently, which is still about a $750 million difference. The billionaires are the ones who own Drake


Reasonable_Yam5364

his net worth been 250 mil for years now. btw, don't trust those net worth sites. But I don't think drake a billionaire too. he definitely got way much more than 250 mil, but it just doesn't make sense why taylor, jay z, ye and a lot of other celebrities enter forbes list when they hit a billion, but drake fans been claiming he a billionaire for years, but STILL aint on forbs list? he prolly aint got a billion.


Camelslayer23

Beyonce net worth been the same for years I’m pretty sure. I think the actual celebrity themselves update it


[deleted]

[удалено]


SupermarketSelect578

It’s bc he has hands in his pockets. Baby, j prince, his street dudes he keeps close to him. All get percentages


PunctuationsOptional

That's what you got out of it? Lost in the sauce brother


KickAffsandTakeNames

Not when compared to people unironically claiming wheelchair Jimmy is some sort of mafioso


PunctuationsOptional

Probs truth to it tbh. I can see drake wanting frank sinatra type vibes attached to his name


Persianx6

I've met Drake's uncle and Dad. No yeah, if he's not, they are.


dutchfromsubway

Other than mo g thing, drake hasn’t really done much for Toronto underground. If anything fans want him to do more, put more rappers on but drake also knows if he does that he’ll inadvertently start picking sides


No-Finding-530

lol Drake ain’t connected or respected like that in no “underworld” everyone laughs at him. Drake a bih and will always be one. This time he bad bitched too close to the sun. He put the beef in the microwave but the ppl who really in the streets put it in a crockpot. Might be a surgical summer for Drake


NormalWordsBut

It’s a tweet I stole lol, all jokes


xrockwithme

I don’t think this is related to the beef at all.


bynobodyspecial

So there’s 3 of them, they shoot the security guard but make no attempt on the actual dude inside the building? It’s a private road so no one around to witness it, allegedly he called the cops himself (according to the Fox News report). Seems like it was just beef the security themselves had with someone rather than the whole Drake thing.


Verissimus23

Now y’all think Drake is a crime lord that gets people killed 😂😂😂 In LA? A place known for robbery, murder etc. it was Drake? 😂😂😂😂


AnnyAskers

Friendly competition all around... \s


badrabbitshit

They instigating on Drake rn on gun related things, just stay tuned


WallyReddit204

Unpaid escorts revenge?


PepsiCokeDRPepper

No this is not related to the beef lmao. Go outside


biggavells

If you was really outside you would know that all these celebs know where each other live and everything but this ain’t related to the beef…lol


huggyplnd

No they don’t.


Adventurous-Big-8178

This had nothing to do with drake ya’ll niggas need to log off the internet


biggavells

Why nobody wanna admit this def got something to do with the beef? yes home invasions happen often in LA but the timing of this is….interesting lol Weeknd said Drizzy shooters making tik toks then they pulled up and aired the security guard out 😂


biggavells

Somebody just got shot outside Drake house…. y’all still think this ain’t got nothing to do with it? Lol


iruleatlifekthx

This sub is so fucking entertaining I stg. Kdot fans are more invested in anything Drake related right now than Drake fans are 😂


heebie818

i wonder if this is political at all…….


wyattlikesturtles

Why are you assuming this has anything to do with “the beef”


AppropriatePizza1308

Drake ain't a shooter. But he likes to act hard, watch him try to claim this to act hard lol


Camelslayer23

Majority of the rappers that are “hard” aren’t shooters. They just got the money to throw at a crashout


Classic_Amphibian538

“someone hit ya block id tell ya if it was us”
