[sharpshooter718]

TROY AVE IS TRASH, HE HAS SOME OK MELODIES BUT THOSE ARE ALL 50 CENT TYPE JOINTS... 

i know people that grew up with son, he a real street dude but rapping aint his passion, he do it for lulz and money... 

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

[Sir San Diego]

Damn. I'd hate to see him or Troy Ave lose their careers over this. What's the origin of the so called beef?

 

[illphillip]

Well, somebody already lost their life over it.

 

[Sir San Diego]

True. Free my *****... oh wait, he killed someone. My bad.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Nonesense. Tax ranting saying Troy ain't real.

 

[a blinkin]

Nonesense. Tax ranting saying Troy ain't real.

And that's the most disappointing part of it all. Two brothers out here who had decent opportunities running the risk of losing everything over some complete nonsense.

Agreed. Why not work together? Dumb. Unless it was over something real.

Definitely one of those when keeping it real goes wrong situations.

Was tax still kinda avoiding NYC this whole time? I see they caught him in Texas lol.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Either way it's a damn shame, man.

As much as Tax brings this type of **** on himself, he was really making headway and becoming a real voice for the community. I thought he seemed to be growing a bit lately, and was hopeful dude would be able to fully grow up and use his platform the way it needed to be used.

More black men lost over nonsense.

 

[sneakaprince]

If you think about it Tax started growing more after all this popped off. I'm sure he knew there was a chance this could still come back to bite him in the ***.

That Chicago **** he had the other week was dumb though.

 

[a blinkin]

Yeah. Dude toned it down after Irving plaza. Seems like he made it a point to focus on growing his brand. But ultimately, he tried to build a mansion on top of a shaky foundation. Dude built his persona off talking **** to dudes who felt like they've got stuff to prove. Sucks to say, but I can fully grasp why/how this could go downhill for this dude. It's cool he was trying to transition, but... I get it.

 

[illphillip]

Dude was just out here calling Wack100 an "old *****" and telling him to suck his **** all over IG

 

[heliumclinton]

Everybody RT'ing all his problematic tweets

Damn man

Fair point.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

And that rant about Chicago street _'s


Dude toned it down a lil bit over the summer then went right back to character.





"I'll spit in your eye"





But Wack is the only clown...

 

[wavycrocket]

idk why dudes expect Tax to carry himself like Malcolm X or something.

Dude is/was growing....and that's positive no matter how you slice it. I think it's genuine. It's two sides to all of us. Tax relapse into his old self time and time again is natural. Dude is OD with the rants though.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Don't think anybody said he should act like a NOI memeber.



Just chill on the corny ****. He wouldn't be in this situation if he did.

 

[Sir San Diego]

While I was listening to that Tax/Tariq interview I was wondering why they did it at Tariq's house... homie really been on the run, huh?

 

[Magic33]

Nonesense. Tax ranting saying Troy ain't real.

That's the crazy part. It was over Troy talking about his bricks, and Tax saying he didn't know him. If he was lying or exaggerating, who cares. That's most of these dudes rapping.

And that's the most disappointing part of it all. Two brothers out here who had decent opportunities running the risk of losing everything over some complete nonsense.

The sad part is that Tax had numerous people who know Troy, including Lito and it escalated instead of de-escalating.

I think that song Troy did was the end. Tax laughed it off, but was probably steaming inside.

I think him running to California spoke volumes, much less no longer saying Troy's name after speaking him every chance he could.

We see how he is with Wack.

More than few people changing they tune on Tax today

I asked a bunch of times was he even in NY anymore after the shooting. They took months to get to him he may have thought he was good, cause he going off his rants ain't gonna play to nice in court.

Either way that gun charge might be what gets him. In Cali they have a law that if your felony leads to another you get both charges, like if he brought the gun in and that's the gun that killed Troys man, he to the murder charge. Is NY like that?

I think he's been bi-coastal. I think him not having the guest shows a lot haven't been from New York. The Meek one was in Atlanta.

Wack mentioned it in one of his rants.

In New York having a gun is a charge. Him being a predicate felon with a gun would have him locked for 15 to 25. That's not even use of it.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

in the grand scheme of things it's Nonsense of course

But doing certain things might get you called out

Fabricating about your come up and how much you hustle before Rap is something people cared about dumb or not even more so when that's your selling point and you always push that like Troy do

Lying about how big your buzz in the city was & Hating on others artists

Taking a other rapper song ?

Getting mad at Makonnen because he didn't like you rapping on his song was Nonsense also

Which led to your friend running up on him at his show over what really ? but it to all because it was Makonnen

 

[flyny]

Tax is looking at 20-25 years just off the alleged gun possession charge.
If he cooperates, they might drop it to 15-18, but that's still a long time
