there's way too many people who fall in love with these personalities. i couldn't care any less about troy ave or taxstone, let alone sit up on the internet and argue in their favor because I "like" or "dislike" one of them.
these are 2 grown 30+ year old men who let an internet beef escalate to a "who's really about that life" situation that resulted in someone dying and an innocent bystander shot. this wasn't some old street beef over drugs, turf, or any other criminal element. this started on the internet. we not talking about a couple of young and dumb 16 year olds from chicago, but 2 grown 30 year old men. if you have sense or rationale whatsoever, you have to admit how ignorant that is.
that's not honorable. they both look silly. I wish jail on no man, but i'll be damned if I express sympathy for these 2 clowns.
there's a problem if taxstone is being looked at as an influential member of the culture. you want an example of a "hood" dude that the young and impressionable should be looking to for wisdom from someone who comes from what they come from, go look up Tony Lewis Jr.
for all of the "woke" things you may believe tax may have been waking people up to, the negative energy he continuously puts out contradicts all of that.
