What’s killing all these young rappers: I am sure you’ve heard of such death in recent years; these young black rappers with great potential and skills died at the prime of their careers. Could this be an urban legend? It was until I did some research. As careful as it may sound, bad things happened only to these young black hip-hop artists. Drug addictions, suicides, and even accidental death, which they could not escape, have been the cause of their early deaths.
So, What’s killing all these young rappers?
The truth is that there are a lot of different factors that can contribute to young black rappers dying at an early age. One of these factors is that many of these rappers are not prepared for the fame and fortune that comes with being successful in the rap industry.
They often lack financial management skills and have not learned how to manage their money responsibly. They also make poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking and drinking excessively, which can lead to health problems.
Another factor is that many young black rappers come from families who struggle financially, so they sometimes feel like they need to sell drugs or join gangs to earn money quickly.
Young black rappers also tend to start their careers very young and enter the industry before they’ve had a chance to learn about its pitfalls or what it takes to run a business successfully. So when things go wrong in their lives (and they often do), they don’t know how to deal with them effectively because they have not been taught any valuable lessons yet.”
10 what’s/why young rappers are killed
- Lack of opportunity in the music industry.
- New technology and access to information.
- Greed from jealous people.
- They rap about real stuff, not bubblegum pop.
- They have a lot of money and are okay with spending it on cars and jewelry.
- Sometimes rappers get involved with the wrong people or have bad habits that put them in bad situations.
- Mental illness (i.e., depression).
- Drugs and Alcohol abuse.
- Bad Influences.
- Because they’re celebrities and therefore targets for kidnappers.
Lack of opportunity in the music industry.
The lack of opportunity for young black rappers in the music industry is killing them.
Young black rappers are being murdered at an alarming rate. In 2015, there were more than 100 murders of rappers under the age of 35, according to the New York Times. And those are just the ones who have been reported—there are likely many more that we don’t know about.
The problem is that these rappers must be allowed to shine in their communities or make it big on their terms. They’re stuck in a system that doesn’t care about them and won’t let them get out, so they see no other option than to turn to crime and violence as a way out. They feel they have nothing left to lose, so why not go for it?
If we want our young black men to be safe from violence and death, we need to provide opportunities so they can make money from their art without resorting to crime or violence first.
New technology and access to information.
The reality of the situation is that many young black rappers are being killed by new technology. Including GPS tracking, live streaming, and posting pictures with their addresses in them.
The first example is GPS tracking. The easiest way to explain this would be to say that when you drive your car, you have a GPS that shows you where you’re going. With this technology, law enforcement can track down and arrest people who may have committed crimes. This is true for young black rappers as well.
Another example is live streaming. Streaming something online is usually done through a site like YouTube or Instagram Live. These sites allow people to watch whatever they want without downloading anything onto their computers or phones. These sites also allow people from all over the world access quickly through just one click on their phone screen! In many instances, someone has streamed themselves committing crimes such as murder or robbery. Then the police have been able to arrest them because of these streaming sites’ accessibility online worldwide!
Finally, posting pictures with an address in them could mean trouble for anyone, regardless of whether they were rappers!
Greed from jealous people kills young black rappers.
The reason why so many young African American rappers are dying is because of greed from jealous people. Some people are from other countries and want to take over the rap game, but they need to learn how to rap. They also don’t have any money or power to get a record contract. So instead of studying and practicing their craft as most artists do. These people sit around and try to figure out ways to sabotage other people’s careers.
By sabotaging other people’s careers, these jealous individuals can get what they want without putting any work into it themselves! This is why so many young African American rappers are dying at such an alarming rate: their careers are ruined by jealous individuals who want what they have without putting in the work necessary for success.
They rap about real stuff, not bubblegum pop.
These young rappers are not killing themselves because they sing about the constant struggle to make it in the music industry or the pressure to make money and maintain relationships with family members at home. They’re not killing themselves; they’re just plain depressed because of some boy/girl drama. They’re not killing themselves for any of the reasons that rappers have been killing themselves for years.
Rappers have been dying at an alarming rate since the early 2000s. It’s not necessarily because they’ve grown up listening to Tupac or Biggie Smalls. Still, instead, they’re living in a time where there is more pressure than ever before. And it’s coming from all sides. With social media being such a massive part of our lives now (and also making it easier than ever before). We’ve seen an increased demand for entertainment and content that is easily digestible. Meaning that our favourite artists have less time to take care of themselves and rest up after long days of performing shows and working on new music. This can lead to exhaustion and depression, leading to feelings of hopelessness.
The deaths have been attributed to a new trend called “bragging” or “humble bragging.” Essentially, it’s when you brag about how great you are, but simultaneously, you’re humble about it. For example: “I’m a baller, I’m a killer/fly like an eagle, and I’ll never die.”
They have a lot of money and are okay with spending it on cars and jewelry.
Most young African American rappers have a lot of money and don’t mind spending it on cars and jewellery. Flashy materialistic things to outshine and out-flex others.
They are also prone to getting into beef with one another over petty things like women or social media beef, which leads to violence. They feel they must defend their honor by killing their enemies to prove themselves as men.
A lot of them are also addicted to drugs and alcohol, which makes them more likely to become involved in crime and violence.
Sometimes rappers get involved with the wrong people or have bad habits that put them in bad situations.
Many factors could be attributed to the deaths and bad situations of so many young African American rappers. One of the main reasons is that the wrong people often surround them. They have bad habits that put them in bad situations. For example, when someone has an addictive personality, drug dealers and users surround them. It’s easy to get involved and expose them to drugs.
Another reason is that some rappers may have grown up poor or without a father figure and desired material wealth, leading them to make bad decisions.
Mental illness (i.e., depression) could lead to death
What’s killing all these young rappers: According to a study conducted by the CDC. More than half of all suicides in the United States are committed by people with mental illness. And as the study’s authors point out, “suicidal ideation and behavior are more prevalent among persons with psychiatric disorders. Then in the general population.”
This is especially true when it comes to African American youth. In fact, according to a report from the CDC, “among racial/ethnic populations, suicide rates were highest among American Indians/Alaska Natives; Hispanics; and non-Hispanic whites.”
And while we don’t know precisely why so many young African Americans suffer from suicidal ideation. It could be because of cultural pressures or economic factors, or environmental stressors. We do know that untreated mental illness is one of the most significant risk factors for suicide. So if your teen is feeling depressed or anxious or experiencing any other mental health struggles, please don’t hesitate to seek help.
Drugs and Alcohol abuse.
The number of deaths related to drug overdoses has increased dramatically over the past several years, and it’s not just because more people are taking drugs. It’s because more people are taking laced drugs.
The rise in laced drug use has been linked to the increase in heroin use nationwide. Heroin is often laced with other substances like fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid that is up to 100 times more powerful than morphine.
Bad Influences.
A lot of young rappers are dying because of bad influences. In the music industry, there is a lot of pressure to be cool and be seen as excellent. Young artists generally want to fit in with their peers, so they will do anything to fit in and gain acceptance. Some of these actions involve experimenting with drugs, alcohol, and other substances that can be harmful if abused.
Another possible reason that some young artists may die early is that they have not yet learned how to handle the fame and fortune of being a rapper. This can lead to drug abuse, excessive partying, and other activities that can be dangerous for anyone, particularly for someone who has not yet matured into adulthood.
Because they’re celebrities and therefore targets for kidnappers
I believe that “killing” all these young African American rappers results from a new trend in the entertainment industry. This trend has been around for a long time, but it’s only recently been noticed by the public.
I think that what’s happening to these young rap stars is a form of kidnapping. The kidnappers take them into their basements and hold them captive until they agree to do things that will benefit the kidnapper. This could be as simple as posting an Instagram post saying how much you love their product, or it could be much more complex, like signing over ownership rights to your company or music catalogue. The kidnappers threaten them with violence, sometimes even sexual violence, if they don’t comply with what they want.
When this first started happening, the police weren’t sure what was going on because there were no reports of missing people who matched the description of any of these celebrities. We now know why: they were being held against their will by some criminal organization!
Conclusion: What’s killing all these young black rappers?
There are many reasons why famous rappers are being killed. The most popular reason was money or for jealous purposes. It’s sad to happen, but the rapper should have known that those people were dangerous to them. There is no excuse. The other reasons might not be as popular, but they make senseI Their influence could have been wrong on them since the rappers are primarily young and don’t know the consequences of their actions, so they run into dangerous people. At the same time, they’re in a “celebrities” position.
Mental illness doesn’t get much attention when it comes to rappers. Because we assume that if you are famous, being smart is one of the worst things that you can do. If you want to succeed in life and hip-hop (even though it’s taboo). Drug abuse is a big problem in the rap community, and it’s a hard habit to break for many people around us.
Most of these rappers were so young when they died. Which makes it hard to believe that they had already gone down that road before any of this could get them out of it. But death isn’t always the end. Maybe some of the greats’ works will help bring happiness back into people’s lives even more than before they died.
