Rappers are constantly judged by the credibility of their lyrics.
While some just make up stories for the clout,
others talk about real-life situations from the streets.
Here is a look at a few famous rap lyrics that have actually happened.
“Twelve Paramedics Couldn’t Save Your F***** Life Boy” - Who I Smoke - Spinnabenz
Yungeen Ace and his gang of ATK goons shocked the world with the track Who I Smoke,
which disrespectfully mentions a few people who they attacked and killed
in this deadly gang war.
In this bar, Spinnabenz is referring to the murder of a 22-year-old Jacksonville rapper named Rod K.
Rod K was a rapper who was associated with Foolio and his KTA gang.
He only started rapping a few months ago,
but was popping off in Jacksonville with his tracks Strap Story and Hot Boyz.
The rapper was shot and killed on November 20th, 2020 outside the Hilltop Village apartments.
Paramedics arrived on the scene around 4:30pm and found two victims in the parking lot.
Originally, they reported that the injuries were not life-threatening
but Rod would eventually pass away.
So, this is what Spinnabenz means when he raps 12 paramedics couldn’t save your life.
Rod K’s death came just a day after the murder of another KTA affiliate
who went by the name Spazz2x.
On November 19th, 2020, police arrived at the Hilltop Village Apartments,
the same place Rod K was shot,
around 7:45 pm and found Spazz dead.
So, Foolio and KTA suffered back-to-back losses of two prominent members.
Hilltop Village is an apartment complex located in the Moncrief neighborhood of Jacksonville
and many KTA affiliated rappers and shooters live there.
Foolio often refers to it as the “6” or “1646” because of its address.
That was also the spot that his younger brother Bibby was killed back in 2019.
Gun fire erupts inside a northwest side apartment complex,
it leaves this 16-year-old dead,
Neighbors say the shooting sounded like a war zone
So, Rod K was just another casualty in the ongoing war in Jacksonville.
He was just starting to get recognized for his music, which likely contributed to his death.
Several rumors are going around on the internet about what had happened to Rod K.
Some say, it was the opps evening the score after Rod went looking for Spazz’s killer.
Others say he was backdoored by his own people.
Regardless of who did it,
his opps couldn’t miss the opportunity to diss the rapper after he passed.
Spinnabenz would mock his opp on an IG Live session by asking the question
where is Rod K after he passed,
That's a good question right there, where is Rod K?
and then follow up with this savage bar on Who I Smoke.
He would also reference the dead rapper on the track Drill Time, where he raps
“I told y’all Rod K was dead before his body had got found”.
But Rod K wasn’t the only Jacksonville rapper who was referenced on Who I Smoke.
In this next bar, Fastmoney Goon raps about a shooting
that almost took out the KTA head honcho, Foolio.
“I was lurkin on his page and caught him lackin in Houston
We let off shots, he got shot and went on Live”
- Fastmoney Goon - Who I Smoke.
On July 6th, 2020, Foolio was shooting a music video in Houston, TX.
As he was leaving the scene, his car was shot up and a bullet grazed his skull.
While he was in the hospital, he went on IG Live to diss his opps
and let them know that he wasn’t fazed.
B**** ass ****** shot me but didn't kill me
He ***** stupid
He talked about the shooting in an interview and said that it wasn’t a big thing
and he wasn’t concerned about it because you could die anywhere.
He wasn’t going to give ATK the satisfaction
of knowing that he was worried about almost losing his life.
In this bar, Fastmoney Goon confirms the rumors
that they stalked his social media to get the drop on him.
They saw that he was filming a video
and went all the way out to Houston to try and catch him lackin’ but barely missed.
That’s the wild thing about this new generation of trap and drill rappers
– not only are they out here livin' the life they talk about in their music,
they’re also constantly showing their location on social media in real time,
for everyone to see, including the opps.
Just before the shooting in Houston, Foolio’s girlfriend was also shot.
She was hit but survived
and Foolio once again went on live to prove he wasn’t scared.
It shows how out of control this whole situation is, when even females aren’t safe.
But when you’re really in the streets like that, anyone around you can get hit.
When the opps can’t find you, they might go after anyone close to you that matters.
In this bar, Fastmoney Goon is clowning Foolio, by saying they're sending shots in real life
while all he does is send disses on social media.
But if you’ve been paying attention to this beef from the start,
you know that both sides have been pretty active with the payback.
But Jacksonville rappers aren’t the only ones to talk about real shootings and murders in their lyrics.
This next artist rapped about killing a dude in a Walmart in front of his daughter,
then beating the case in self-defense.
“My Daughter a G, She saw me kill a n**** in front of her before the age of two”
- Da Baby - Rockstar
In this bar, Da Baby is referencing a real-life incident where he shot and killed a man in a Walmart,
while he was shopping with his one-year-old daughter.
Even though today DaBaby is one of the biggest hip-hop stars in the world,
the rapper grew up in the mean streets of Charlotte
and has been involved in many fights and shootings.
Early on in his career,
DaBaby chased six armed men out of his home after they broke in
and tried to steal his TV and other valuables.
He ended up shooting one, but they all ran away and never got arrested.
Five or six guys run up in your house
Probably a little more than that
one of them got shot and they all escaped
mhmm
Plus, who can forget the time that DaBaby was being taunted by another rapper in the mall
and he ended up fighting him on IG live.
So despite, his superstar status, it’s well known that DaBaby does NOT play around.
Check out our previous videos on rappers ready for opps and crazy rapper fights
for more info on these situations.
But probably the craziest moment of his career yet,
was when DaBaby shot and killed a man in Walmart,
then beat the case on self-defense.
On November 5th, 2018 DaBaby was at a Walmart in Huntersville, North Carolina
with his daughter and baby mama buying clothes.
While shopping, two men ran up on him and told the rapper that he needed to check-in.
One of them was 19-year-old Domonique Craig, who was holding a gun at the time.
They tried to get the rapper to come with them outside, but it didn’t get that far.
Exactly what happened after, isn’t entirely clear.
But at some point, DaBaby pulled his own gun and fired two or three shots,
hitting Craig in the stomach and killing him.
At first, there were rumors going around
that the shooting was the result of a brawl between 4 or 5 other people in the store,
while others claimed that it was a shootout in the parking lot.
So, after being released by police,
the rapper went on Instagram to give his side of the story.
He claims that he was there with his BM and daughter when the victim ran up on him,
so he simply acted in self defense.
when my footage come out and show y'all I was in there with my 1-year-old daughter
my 5-year-old and my baby momma
on some family **** and he walked up on me, tried me
whipped out on my whole family
He also did another Live a few days later, where he sent condolences to the family
RIP me, you know, my heart still beating
you know and uh, condolences goes out to the other party
and cleared the rumors that he did it all just for album promotion.
Talking about using ****** to promote my motha****** album, mixtape, whatever
***** check the dates check the caption I was promoting this shit
***** before the weekend **** happened I was promoting this ****
as I was on my way to the Walmart, you feel me?
And Imma keep promoting
He was in the middle of promoting his album Blank Black with Stunna 4 Vegas,
which had dropped just a few days before the shooting,
and many fans though he was using the media to gain attention for his project.
He denied these rumors
but used several clips from the Walmart shooting news coverage in the intro to a music video
for a song called No Tears.
Da Baby would end up getting charged for carrying a concealed weapon,
but these charges were later dropped,
and he was eventually cleared of the crime
because his lawyers were able to prove he acted in self-defense.
After beating the charge, Da Baby was one of the hottest rappers in 2019.
He was already hustling and making moves but hadn’t broken into the mainstream yet.
All the attention from the shooting seemed to help his career
as fans would find out that he was actually a talented artist on top of being a real street dude.
But according to Da Baby, the real G is his daughter,
who witnessed her father pop a dude in Walmart.
Luckily, she was still too young to really know what was going on
cause if she was any older, she’d probably still be traumatized.
But if you thought that was crazy,
this next artist rapped about how he pulled up on the opps with three of his homies,
then ended up beating two attempted murder charges.
“Ridin four deep round where they be
In the back seat with a dirty choppa”
- NBA Youngboy Murder Business
NBA Youngboy is one of the biggest artists in the game,
and he’s also one of the wildest.
The rapper has been in and out of the legal system more times than almost any rapper,
yet he still manages to keep his position in the game.
In this bar, he’s referring to an incident where he and three of his NBA goons
pulled up on members of TBG, who he thought murdered his cousin Boozilla.
The beef between NBA and TBG or Top Boy Guerillas goes way back.
We’re talking before the rapper was even famous.
When he was in middle school,
Youngboy used to be cool with the younger brother of a local Baton Rouge rapper
named Gee Money, who was affiliated with TBG.
At first, Youngboy was cool with Gee Money and also repped TBG.
But their relationship would eventually turn sour after Gee Money slept with Youngboy’s sister.
He mad about his sister too tho
About his sister? Yeah I had **** her a long time ago.
Plus, TBG refused to pay attention to Youngboy
and focused on promoting Gee Money as the star of the group.
Check out our video on Baton Rouge’s Deadly Beef
for a more in-depth breakdown of this beef.
Youngboy also had a cousin who rapped under the name Boozilla.
Boozila was affiliated with another Baton Rouge gang called BBG,
which was also at war with TBG.
So after Youngboy split from TBG he started hanging with his cousin again
and began beefing with his former friend.
Boozilla would diss another TBG affiliated rapper named Dusa
and end up dead not long after.
Boozilla’s death would really cement the hatred in Youngboy’s heart for TBG
and his crew was ready for revenge.
Youngboy, along with three of his homies NBA Ben Ten, NBA Self-Paid
and NBA Joe went out hunting for opps.
This is the moment Youngboy was rapping about when he says
“riding four deep round where they be”
They would pull up into the territory of TBG
and let off shots at two men standing in a front yard.
They ended up missing the men, but somehow NBA Joe got shot in the neck.
He was later brought to the hospital and survived.
Youngboy was arrested by US Marshalls on November 28th, 2016,
before a concert in Austin, TX.
He was charged with two counts of attempted murder and held on a $200,000 bond.
He spent the next eight months in jail fighting the charge
and was potentially facing life in prison if convicted.
But, his lawyers ended up securing him a plea deal
that dropped the charges from attempted murder to aggravated assault with a firearm,
which carries less of a penalty.
He ended up admitting to the shooting in court
and several record label executives would show up to testify on his behalf,
to say that he had a promising career in the music industry.
Thanks to good layers and his label connections,
Youngboy was given a 10-year suspended sentence and three years of probation.
This means he won’t serve additional time,
but if he messes up again and violates probation,
a 10-year sentence is automatically triggered.
At sentencing, Youngboy apologized to the court for his crimes
and vowed to focus on his music career and leave the streets alone.
But we all know how that turned out.
Youngboy was released in August 2017 on a $50,000 post-conviction bond
and soon after dropped the track Untouchable, which became one of his hottest tracks yet.
Beating two attempted murders
only added to the rapper’s reputation as one of the wildest artists of the new generation
and his music started to really take off.
But all while he was blowing up, the rapper would continue the war with TBG.
In September 2017, the month after Youngboy was released,
Gee Money was shot and killed.
Baton Rouge police are looking into a deadly shooting
that claimed a life of a local rapper
Police say someone shot and killed 22-year-old Garrett Burton
on Dallas Street around 1:20 last night
An NBA affiliate named NBA Pap would end up getting charged for the murder
and the beef between TBG and NBA only got worse from there.
The two crews continued going after each other
with bodies dropping on each side in an ongoing war that still continues to this day.
The beef got so deadly that in February 2021,
the FBI announced that they were launching an official investigation into the NBA gang,
and were focusing on Youngboy as the ringleader.
On March 22nd, 2021, he was arrested by federal agents after a long chase,
where he tried to escape in a vehicle and then on foot.
Check out our video on Rappers Who Ran From The Cops
for more info on this wild arrest.
Overall, Youngboy’s legal situation isn’t looking great,
the rapper has faced serious charges in the past and walked away without any serious time,
so anything is possible.
Hopefully, his lawyers can work their magic and he can plead the charges down,
so he can just focus on the music.
But it seems like the Feds are tired of Youngboy, and are ready to lock him up for good.
