This appears to be a recurring pattern: a famous rapper dies, and their relatives demand justice. It’s disheartening that we often show concern only after their death, rather than while they are alive. Allowing individuals to foresee their own demise within the context of the streets and gangsta lifestyle is deeply troubling. As a community, we must strive to do better.

Playing devil’s advocate, one might ask: where was Julio Foolio’s mother before he decided to hit the streets and become a gangsta rapper? Why wasn’t she there to guide him in distinguishing right from wrong? It’s understood that she does work and that the area they come from isn’t even in the hood. Why, then, did she allow her son to embark on a path of self-destruction?

It is often said that such messages come too late, but perhaps someone out there will heed this warning and change their ways. The streets are not meant for anyone, and now Julio Foolio’s mother must bear the loss of her son. It is deeply saddening to witness what has become of our community. Despite this, there are still individuals who willingly spread harmful influences to our youth. The claim that rap music is dead seems more accurate with each passing day.
