A rapper has been shot dead; he had a very silly name that I'm not sure how to pronounce.  All this is de rigueur of course, but what makes it a little more interesting is that his real name was also very silly and difficult to pronounce: Jahseh Onfroy.  I think he should just have stuck with that one.

I didn't know who he was until my Facebook told me I wasn't allowed to care about his death because he allegedly beat his girlfriend.  Was he any good?  (at rapping, not domestic violence)

Jimmy Wopo also shot dead at 21 last night too.

They were both talented and both were probably not joking about the crimes they rapped about. I think the feeling was with XXXT that he would eventually flourish into a major talent once he'd gotten past his ugly personal past.

I never got the impression anyone thought he was going to overcome his past and that's where like 95% of his popularity came from.

SteveDave

Never heard of him til he was killed but he sounded like an awful human so DRIP

Norton Canes

Now he can add an extra X

I imagine it's one of those memes they have nowadays. They're all basically saying "I hate this".

up_the_hampipe

I think the last one is just pointing out how thuggish the song is, which it isn't really. He sounds 11 years old.

Urinal Cake

He was pretty good- a sort of indie Drake. Not Miles Davis great as people who can look past his woman beating issues.

First time I've heard this track. Initial reaction was "Argh! It's a sample of that bloody dubstep tune that everyone used to listen to in the first year of university! Arrrrrgh!"

Never heard his music but if anything from that court transcript is true then this is no loss to the world.
