by

The hip-hop world is currently reeling from the sudden, shocking, and still alleged loss of Rich Homie Quan at 34 years old, which remains a mystery at press time. As such, we encourage our readers to take these news items with a grain of salt, as we still have little indication of this story’s veracity, the circumstances behind his alleged death, and more. Regardless, Lil Woody has responded to the rapper’s passing, posting an Instagram Story featuring a picture of RHQ with former frequent collaborator Young Thug. “RIP,” he wrote. “I hate this happen I pray that God protect thug and them from this country.”

Previously, Lil Woody and Rich Homie Quan actually had differing stories about an alleged shooting, something that briefly came up in the ongoing YSL RICO trial. But the former joins a lot of other rappers, media figures, celebrities, and loved ones that are paying tribute to RHQ right now. The Atlanta rapper became one of the city’s most beloved and prolific artists over the past decade-plus, forming part of many iconic hits and moments throughout the 2010s and beyond. His legacy will forever endure.

Lil Woody’s Tribute To Rich Homie Quan

Elsewhere, Lil Woody knows quite well that his social media account is more popular than ever. This was all bolstered by his role in the YSL RICO trial, which means that a lot of people aren’t a fan of this huge spike in engagement. Nevertheless, we know that this tribute to Rich Homie Quan will reach a lot of people, and that is a much more important sentiment to spread than your own success. This is still a very early story in development, so we’ll see what else we learn in the near future.

Meanwhile, as we wait for more confirmation and official sourcing for this tragic news, we invite you to revisit some of Rich Homie Quan’s work. Most recently, he released a new collab with fellow Atlanta superstar 2 Chainz in the form of “Ah’Chi.” Once again, take all these reports with a grain of salt and await further illumination. But it seems like the hip-hop world lost another colleague this week, and for that, it’s coming together to pay their respects.

Their efforts resulted in a 25-mile procession, with roughly 20,000 people in attendance to honor Nipsey.

Blacc Sam Recalls The Moments Leading Up To Nipsey Hussle’s Death & Shares His Theory On What Happened

by

Nipsey Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam, spoke about the late rapper’s death in a rare lengthy interview with Big Boy for his Off Air Series on Friday. In doing so, he reflected on the moments leading up to the shooting and his theory for what was going through the killer’s head. Police charged Eric Holder with the shooting and he was found guilty of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter three years later. Holder is currently serving a 60-year prison sentence.

“Somebody come to the shop, they know we in the doorway,” Sam began. “When Hussle pull up, we in the doorway. You’re gonna see me with a hoodie on and I got a pistol on me. You’re gonna see one of my team members in the hoodie in the doorway with a pistol. That’s protocol when Hussle pull up. So, it’s Sunday. It’s busy in there. Why the n***a in there didn’t follow the protocol? I wasn’t there. Why they didn’t follow it? Maybe they was f*cking around, helping a customer who was doing some f*cking customer service. This is what I’m thinking, trying to transition into some legitimate, just selling clothes. But nobody was in the doorway.” From there, he walked through the steps of the killing and described it as premeditated.

Sam went on to theorize that wearing the red shirt was a “throw-off.” “I felt he was supposed to do a job or somebody sent him and he was nervous. He was supposed to hit that alley with that red shirt immediately. He didn’t do that,” he continued.

Hip-Hop Mourns The Tragic Passing Of M.O.P Affiliate, Foxx

by

Foxx, M.O.P.’s former tour manager and former member of the rap group Lethal, died on August 3 after a 15-year battle with scleroderma, an autoimmune disease. The Bronx native’s respirator was removed from her on August 2 in the hospital. She was 55. DJ Kid Capri, a childhood friend of Foxx’s, broke the news on Instagram in a heartfelt post, paying tribute and detailing the story of the last time he saw her in the hospital.

The hip-hop community best knows Foxx as the “mother figure” of the Brownsville-based duo M.O.P. She played an integral part in the duo’s successful run in the late 1990s and early 2000s. “M.O.P. wouldn’t get nowhere if it wasn’t for me. I’m like their Mother Goose,” said Foxx in a previous interview. “They don’t got no mothers, no fathers, none of that sh*t. I can put them in check, and I’m probably the only one that can do that, partly because I’m older than them.” Of course, the hip-hop community paid tribute following Capri’s announcement.

DJ Premier also shared a tribute to Foxx, accompanied by a video from 1998 of her rapping on a tour bus while she was traveling with Gang Starr. “I’m hurt in more ways than one, but your pain is gone now,” he said. “Even tho I saw you in the hospital Tuesday, it sucks to get that call. We all are gonna miss you so much but the fun times are documented in our souls. You were HardCore and Sweet at the same time. Would f*ck up anybody that fronted on us or you. My beautiful Foxx Beige sleep peacefully Queen.” Fat Joe referred to her as “family,” while The Alchemist expressed his condolences as well, calling her “the illest.”

Foxx’s death is the latest in what has been a sad last few weeks for hip-hop. Chino XL, long considered one of the most underrated rappers of his era, unexpectedly died on July 28. DJ Polo, the former Juice Crew member best known for his career-defining work with Kool G Rap, passed away the day before. The hip-hop world continues to mourn the passing of its legends. We would like to extend our condolences as well.
