OT - Takeoff, youngest member of rap group, Migos, shot dead in Houston at age of 28.
Only post this because Migos were basically honorary Michigan fans. R.I.P.

Very sad, too young, and strangely relevant to Michigan football...

I forgot about that video, but in a similar vein, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the headline was someone on the board way back in the day explaining that the *eating* celebration that Denard (among others) did was popularized by Migos...

Tragic.

This is just so sad. Quavo (Takeoffs actual Uncle) had to watch his nephew be shot and killed. So senseless and it just keeps happening. Anyone can get touched out there in the streets. Security, security, security. Should they have to have it? No. Do they absolutely need it? YES!!!! RIP Takeoff, most underrated member of Migos in my opinion.

Had no idea he was Quavo's nephew. That's gotta be scarring.

RIP. Altercation over dice. Insane. Sounds similar to what happened to Eminem's friend Proof over a game of billiards.
I can't fathom the level of inhuman psychopathy required to end a life over anything that could've gone down there.

Takeoff from all accounts was just there. Quavo was the aggressor in the situation and that caused it to escalate.
Proof was the aggressor in his situation. He pulled out his gun and pistol whipped the guy he was playing pool with. As he stood over the person that he pistol whipped with his gun pointed at him, security for the establishment shot Proof. It should also be noted that the security person who shot Proof was said to have been related to the person that Proof was standing over.
Proof had the reputation of starting stuff. And I can say from being in the building when something like that happened that Proof died by the same sword that he lived by.
Takeoff's situation is vastly different.

I shoot many games a week at various pool halls around the Space Coast, and this happens more than you would think.

That's insane. So sad.

RIP, Takeoff

So sad and senseless. RIP. Way too young.

The chemistry of prime Migos was unmatched. RIP to a legend.

RIP Takeoff. He and the rest of Migos went to the same HS as me, Berkmar, in GA. They were there a few years after I left, but they had done some fundraising events there recently. Much too young to die and it's tragic that it sounds like he was just a bystander to a fight over dice.
