The worst part is the fact his killer still out there living free.
wow really damn i wonder if he was a fan of his music and if he was did he regret it
Cyprus 100 well he kinda murdered him so something makes me think he wasn’t a fan
@@TheBeigeRaider it was because of that he was killed for his crip affiliation
The guy that accused him of stealing the car set him up ,,,,,u guys gotta look it up
killers*
Nobody deserves to go out like that. Only 20. He had the world’s at his hands. RIP Pop Smoke
Lmao feeling sorry for a gang member tht was possibly a killer himself u are pathetic get a fvckin grip he chose tht life thts what happens
@@phillybuswanker242 he didn't kill noone tho, the guy was tryna make it out the hood
philly bus wanker a loss of life is sad, regardless of the individuals actions
@@sabini7354 idk about that my G
Extra Magnus imagine passing away and as soon as you do people are saying “why feel sorry for him he PROBABLY deserved it”
One of the most clear 'made to be a rapper' voices I've ever heard.
Along with skies
Bruh was rapping at 4 RUclips it
Literally no one talked ab this guy before he passed
@@Justin-nm8lc I was arguing with some girl on youtube a few days ago she was saying he was star and famous around the world, and people used his music to get tru hard times,
Lil Used condom can’t speak for everyone or how much into hip hop you actually are, but dude was definitely skyrockets my in popularity along the east coast especially his home state. Obviously some people are gonna jump on the bandwagon after his death, but that happens with every artist that passes.
Pop.. was literally writing down what fifty was saying.... that's extremely genuine

You cannot say Pop and forget the Smoke
Why I do this too don't make me a genius
I believe the word was Genuine…. lol
@@marcusward1676 LMAO!
It’s inspiring to know he was humiliated as a kid and he flipped back HARD!!!
Right
feel like no one knows bout that
inspiring to losers
I love watchin him beat that bullys ass in the 7-11🤣🤣🤣

@Eragon thank you dude who is named after a children's book
Hell yeah great vid rip pop man he will be missed what a waste of life and amazing talent gone way too soon I cried for this man.. Only 20 wow and the circumstances were so damn flaw some of which kinda of make it seem it was those that were closest to him set him up. So sorry pop but he is in a better place I hope and pray
He survived the hood but died in Beverly hills. Sounds fishy to me.
It was a set up. No way a person especially considering a respected famous individual can just get popped in Beverley hills, in a house full of people. How tf did his killer just walk out ? Especially a 2 story. Set up.
Vsudha Cali is a no go since break ins are major, he would’ve lived if he never went to that shitty state
Tim W nah bro but you’re not understanding, tell me how pop gets killed in the master bedroom which is upstairs. How did his killer walk back downstairs and walk out ?
Tim W I’m saying it’s a set up because nobody else got killed or atleast encountered his killer ?
@@MIFROMDA2 Pop Smoke got his smoke popped
"Gangsta ASMR voice" accurate way to describe Pop Smoke's voice 😂😂
What does ASMR mean? Sorry if this sounds like a crazy question
Here after they arrested 5 people during his investigation R.I.P Big Woo
He finna get justice trust, it’s a shame some of the folks involved were just kids tho.
@@enzob.7394 I hope so too man but thats the path those kids chose to take
Mans went out like a gangsta and shot back at 5 armed niggas mad respect rip W💫💫
Now he can finally rest. RIP the woo
I also heard that 1 or 2 (I don't remember how many) killers that shot pop are getting the death penalty.
Pop Smoke, Nipsey, X....man all of them were about to peak
Juice wrld too
rontavius snipes the industry felt threatened so they had to go!!! RIP THE WOO, NIPSEY, X, JUICE WRLD
@james chavis He Wasnt Good, He Was LEGENDARY. Better Than Yo Top 5 If Anything. Ofcourse White People Like You Never Heard Of Him Til He Died. If You Not From SOUTH CENTRAL LA, You Wouldn't Understand.
X didn’t peak only famous cuz he died yet isn’t talented at all just because of riot doesn’t mean he’s overall talented takes more than boring trash love music and a dumb nowhere sending “message” in rap
@@ur.normalRU Honestly,i think x is better than pop smoke,especially when it comes to "singing"
He was going to be the mainstream to bridge drill with the US rap scene. RIP Big Woo.
No cap I felt like drill was gonna take over the 2020s when he first stepped on the scene
US producers are starting to catch on though. I've been seeing a lot of big producers trying to make drill beats recently.
Drill was 2013?!
Sam Ziebarth I made one too check it out on my channel

zujikou damn bro you’re a real tough guy talking hot on the internet. Real manly and mature. I’m sure ya mothers proud dickhead
@@22BiIIdogg your doing the same thing 😂
He really was bringing the UK sound to the States, now everyone in NY is using these Axel and 808 type beats. But he was gonna bring in a new wave/vibe we havent seen in drill.
People have been using Axl beats in BK since early 2017. 22gz, Sheff G, Fivio, Drizzy Juliano etc.
Justlooking all tha is tru besides 22gz
DDP Santiago definitely, but he wouldn’t have been using them if it wasn’t for Sheff. MPR was a remix to Panic.
Sm H04 Suburban was an axl beat wasn’t it?
Justlooking the first one yea but tha was was 2 yrs after sheff made no suburban made by axl he was put on by his opps but he ighttt but like naw yenno
it was mad refreshing to hear somebody the same age as me being so real. they don’t lie when they say the good die young. RIPPOP
Bro I don’t mean to be negative but how do we know he a good person?? From his music he was talking about killing niggas and doing hits and causing pain in his community
@@youngcity4241 😂
@@youngcity4241 did he have a choice???
@@user-dp5rt4jl4t Yes everybody have a choice don't be so dumb he chose that life nobody forced him into a gang lifestyle smh

@@kabukicho3009 lmaoo
@@Sebastian-wh7fq Pop smoke have none and plus was only known in NY before his death nice try thou RIP the real X
When he said that he wanted his mom at the award show I was about to tear up every son just wants to make their mother proud
It doesn’t matter that he was gang-affiliated and stuff, nobody deserves to die that young
This comment makes no sense lol. Gang affiliated people die hella young bro it ain’t nothing new
@@JeeeeeZ289 I didn't say it was new, I said that nobody deserves to die that young, gang-affiliated or not.
This is the dumbest comment ever how do we know he didn’t give pain to someone else family and it was just karma coming back to him....I can’t feel sorry for gangbangers you signed up for that life
young city it’s definitely possible but he’s still so young so it’s a tragedy
@@youngcity4241 I feel like saying "oh well he signed up for that life" is like blaming a drug addict for their addiction. Like yes that drug addict at one point chose to do drugs, but after that they could want to stop and leave that life, but they just can't. Gang shit works the same way really, once you're in it's really hard to get out even if you want to, and just because you made a bad choice once to get into that life doesn't mean you should be condemned to die like that.
it still bothers me that his killing was so clearly an assassination. Nothing taken, they came in and went straight for pop, they came soley for him. The forums been talkin some wild theories 👀
Forums?
What forums??
@@wtfsamusidk7574 reddit hip hop forums on NY drill scene. now we know it was just a bunch of hoovers that beef w/ all crip sets
@@MN-zg7fi oh yeah
It was all a set up
He passed 2 years after graduating from high school ........think about that
Fuck man, sad as fuck
He died before being old enough to legally buy alcohol.
Pissing me off, he was TOO young
No no think about this he became really successful 2 years after he graduated secondary school
So Sad 😭
I never really listened to Pop but when you showed 50's insta with him saying that he thought the man was sidetracked during their 1 on 1, but Pop was actually taking down notes....that shit made me tear up. You dont hear shit like that in the world in general and to have it being represented in hip hop today. Bro.
I first listened to him like 14 days before his death. I was hyping him to all my friends. One day i wake up and see a text from my friend saying pop was dead... So much potential wasted. RIP ❤️
I heard his music the day before he passed. 🥺
@@sarahokwuolu9381 fuck that hurts
Deadass too I started listening to him 2 weeks before his death and he became my fav rapper on the spot but then he died RIP
His music makes me feel like he is still alive. R.I.P Pop Smoke
Popsmoke deffo 50’s long lost son you already know the groupie love back then was crazy 🤣
He is truly the definition of an Old soul!
"I ain't a pretty boy but I ain't ugly " 🔥🔥🔥
Imma just hit it raw that's my element
He brought that energy to NY hip hop that it didnt had in years.
EXACTLY, a proper representation not 69
xavier lopez lol, y’all woulda said the same thing about pop passing if 69 passed away after day69 mixtape.. truth is we never appreciate people when they are here until they are gone...
So I guess Joey Bada$$ not around?
@@gidi2498 69 is still shit lol
@@BlameItOnGio everyone’s entitled to their opinion, however I disagree with your statement. Nonetheless music taste is subjective
The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long....
that dont change anything, he clearly got set up bro. 7 niggas in the house and he is the only one that got shot
Baller101 he might have been set up but the reason he was the only one shot was because he was the only one armed and shot one of em once and after he got shot twice rip W💫💫
@@hbradley7857 the person i responded to deleted their comment lol. But yea you speaking facts brodie

He was a gang member smh

May your legacy's live on forever.
Everyday I wake up wondering what people gained from killing pop smoke 😞
Bro I feel you
Not a thing
They gained guilt that’s what they gained did when they older it’s gonna hit them back harder than a broomstick
@@popflair7428 Nah they gained money you fool you think they cared about pop nope they living their best lives right now laughing at his fans cry about his death
@@crazyworld1268 they in prison now lol and they only got 2,000$ from the robery. If you ask me that’s a huge L for them and all of us.

@@kabukicho3009 come on, pop spmke Is so trash, listen his music and lyrics, it is so trash. He is known because of his dead. Nobody will remeber his. Just facts
Sebastián bro mans was already big in all of New York and Cali and was being discovered everywhere else when meet the Woo 2 came out wym stop being ignorant his passing helped people find him but that’s normal when an artist passes he was on the verge of greatness
Pop smoke reminds of speaker Knockerz, a pretty short career but heavily influenced the game
also both of their deaths dodgy af, Pop died in a house full of people, and SK just...vanished
Word!
except speaker Knockerz was a good artist.
@@WaseemTroy SK od'd, his parents just don't want to admit it
@@freidarhealness5216 shots y u feel like that
I will always miss pop smokes V12 engine of a voice. At least he will be remembered at the top of his game. RIP to the legend
Watching this made me cry just like I did when I first heard the news...thank you for this video it made my parents respect him even more 🕊😔
I became aware of him last year. Bumping a spotify playlist, and dior played, I was hooked immediately... damn shame. This young man ain't deserve that shit.
At the time he died I had no clue who this was. Then I saw his name n started listening to his music. I immediately loved it. He was special. May he rest in peace.
Pop was a young legend
Damn I just finished the video. You did all the research, you really showed you cared. We love you ross never stop
Pop smiling in heaven for this
I have the chills listening to you break Pop Smoke’s story down. This broke my heart, So so sad! Great job on the video!
First time trap lore Ross didn’t use satire in one of his videos. Just shows how Ross respected pop as well and genuinely wanted to see more out of him. Maybe even gotten an interview from him.
Trap Lore Ross went to Oxford University.. His research is crazy
First heard Pop Smoke on that Jack Boys album and I was like who tf is THIS guy. Been jamming all his shit ever since. Can’t wait for his solo album. Long Live Woo. 🤘🏼
Same here man. R.I.P. to Pop Smoke.
@No knows Noles nice why'd you click the vid
nobody cares
After hearing Dior and Flexxing back in December, saw Pop Smoke on the Artist Feature list for JACKBOYS and I was like 💫Woo, my nigga made it on a Travis joint.
I was hella hyped after Meet the Woo 2 and what was coming next.
The only Celebrity Death I actually was sad for.
Rest in Peace Smoke 💫
Same
Idk man this got me in my feelings. It’s hard to get "attached” to those rappers like that just to see them pass. It’s just another mans where I’m like ,,wish I could’ve gone to one of his concerts and see him”. RIP and thanks ross.
TLR is one of the most underrated commentators, DONT GET ON THE BANDWAGON
Stg I hope he appears on tv or radio fr man
Pop also had started a charity gonna "Shoot for the stars" to help kids in low-income schools
Dior Went Platinum, don’t you worry King 👑🙏🏻🕊
I know my heart sank when i found out he passed. ill be real. welcome to the party became something that honestly helped my relationship with my coworkers. it really brought everyone together and i cant thank him enough. Rest easy pop smoke, you're with the kings now.
At first I didn’t like Pop Smoke at all , I was like oh nah , but around the time Meet The Woo 2 released and I watched his interview with Angie I started to get it , and I was putting everyone I knew onto him , the day I heard he died I literally couldn’t get it out my head for weeks , it hurt knowing we wouldn’t see his rise and have his art his voice , but He’s become my favorite rapper of this generation and his music is on constant repeat 🙏🏾✨. Welcome To The Party
Exact same for me bro can’t help it lol
“ I was like oh nah” was my exact first reaction to pop smoke as well😭
you only didnt like him the first time because you didnt listen to his music
Fam pop smoke was like the young 50 cent, so much potential RIP
Rez _ True
Facts
Imagine he gets nominated at the grammys and wins and his mom accepted the award for him
2020 Feel like a paradox we living in I really seen all that happening🤦🏾♂️
This really hit me in the feels towards the end, I'm hurting about it all over again, bless that man , rest in power pop 🙏
I haven't seen 50 like too many artist..
Only Em, Pop Smoke and Chief Keef
And takashi 69 🤣
He wanted ASAP rocky to
He loves Kendrick and Schoolboy Q too..
Fredo Santana
He dissapointed in Chief keef though. Chief did not appear in his own song in Hate Being Sober
He was only two days away from me in age. That shit hit me so hard, I'm going forward trying to bring some Pop Smoke into my life.
DM’d Ross on IG and asked him for this. He delivered!
Great video on a legend. RIP
I’m not really a fan of UK or NY drill so I was late to pop smoke, but there’s something about his music and vibe that made me a fan of his real quick. Legit one of my favorite artists in any genre.
Still can’t believe he’s gone, woo in peace 💙
Nah man... having a hard time watching this video without feeling sad...
Just thinking about how his potential and future was taken away just like that is pissing me off
talented and had something to offer to both Hip Hop and his community. Damn shame
maybe if he hadnt fucked with the wrong person(s) he would still be here funny how someone like 69 is still here (bless up) but pop smoke got popped and smoked hmmmmm makes you think and proves that being a snitch is a good thing then being a wannabe gang leader..ok
Serg Flores mans was tryna get away from that life, how you gonna criticize him for that
it’s the potential that bothers me.
smh not many recently had as much potential as he did.
it’s like dang. him of all of them. the one with the most potential.
Too easy bro, too fuckin easy.
This man single handedly brought the UK Drill sound to the mainstream. Do remember that when welcome to the party first came out it was the uk that brought him to the spotlight. Rip to the woo 💫
He was so special because he is a human just like us
That don’t make sense
Brendon Maximus it does bro dude was relatable and cool you don’t get a lot of people like pop smoke in the industry
"hated being interviewed because it reminded him being questioned by cops" real g right there hah. rip
WOO WEDNESDAY
CANNOT SAY POP AND FORGET THE SMOKE
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nah, it's only Wu Wednesday, nun else.
Tombstone Jones shut up 💯
WOOOO
*WE LOST A BIG SUPERSTAR, I SWEAR POP WAS SPECIAL, HE WOULDVE BEEN ON A CRAZY LEVEL BY NEXT YEAR.*
I got into his music after his passing, unfortunately. But he’s definitely the number one non-living artist that I wish was still alive today. I love his tone, his flows, beats, and lyrics bc they all complimented each other so well. It sucks for us fans bc he’s gone and we won’t hear anything new, but I can’t imagine how his friends and family still feel today. Pop Smoke and Doom are my favorite rappers, and we lost them both in the same year.
It’s worse cause I was listening to him like 8 months before he died so he really became my favorite artist
I swear he was talented asf..I hate that he was taken from the world..
I highly recommend y'all see that vid of him giving that dude the business in that store. It was for everybody that ever wanted to get somebody back for effin with them. Trust, that was a jolly good kicking
Yeah that was cathartic 😈
Much respect for this Trap Lord. Pop is a legend. RIP to the WOO!
It's 02:10 am in South Africa. Trap Lore Gang for life. Keep doing your thing, respect bruh. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯
It made me so sad when he died. I followed everything he was doing. I literally had just gotten over juice and every other artist weve lost and then I liked this young 20 year old, just to find out he got killed weeks later. He was a kid. Long live pop smoke. Long live the woo💫💫
It’s so sad because if Pop Smoke didn’t die I wouldn’t be listening to his music everyday.💫💫💫
I appreciate you for making this 30 minutes video about the Legendary Pop Smoke 🙌🏾 R.I.P Young King 🤴🏾 woo 💫🕊️🙏🏽
This should be good, I don't know much about Pop Smoke and Ross always delivers great info..
Never seen a Pop Smoke interview, but every clip you used made him seem like the most personable person in the game. RIP.
Edit: holy shit the mom shit broke my heart, he's definitely going to win some awards but I really hope his mom is the one to claim it for him.
50cent talks:
POP SMOKE: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!
It's 2024 and I'm still mourning the death of this legend rip pop smoke🕊️💫
Long live smoke, got me teary eyed n upset yet I’m so happy for what he had done in the short time he was here. This is an incredible video doing the most justice for the woo
he had so much potential. miss him so much😔
At the protests in NYC at least 75% of all music being played was Pop Smoke, he was really for the people and is loved by ny. 🕊 RIP W💫💫 🕊
this is really really well done, went thru looking up all the references, really excellent work here to document a true LEGEND, RIP POP SMOKE !!
Those jealous friends he hung with was hating cause he was a BEAST and they knew they would never be!!!
yep!most deff!
That was his bro. He had nothin to do wit his death. It was a robbery gone bad.
The worst part is that it was a hit. So pretty much the professional killer or killers didn't leave any traces,to get caught and justice can be served.
Honestly whoever killed him deserves the worst possible punishment. Depriving the world of hearing his future hits I's truly a crime against humanity
Over a mfking watch
I remember showing my mates at uni pop smoke, they were impressed, I showed them this king, I'm on the bus one day listening to mtw2 and he messages me that pop is dead, when I tell you my heart sank I wouldn't be lying, rip to the woo, rest in power king
the goat of drill pop smoke
Your channel is so good, man. Three minutes in and you've already hooked me with your intro to Pop's incredible, short career and how he affected you personally by popularizing the UK Drill sound. Your passion really shows in your content, brother.
I loved this vid and would love to see one about nipsey hussle
“Woo is a secret society” - Pop Smoke
I never used to listen to him but his death was still a big impact on the rap community after that it opened my eyes to listen to his music
Video reccomendations;
The newyork drill beef u mentioned , maybe old 50 cent stories, maybe more UK drill stories?
Shit man, he passed away 2 days before my birthday, i found out his music like right after Juice’s death and finding out he passed away was devastating. Woo forever man
Here 30 mins after were 5 people were arrested inn connection with his murder. Long live the Woo ❤️
W💫💫
Baby change that heart to a blue one, he was a crip 💙 lets not forget that
He had that same aura 50 had in 03... he wasn’t the most lyrical rapper but he had a great style and a perfect voice for rap sad he lost his life so damn young smfh
This entire story is wonderful and heartbreaking 😢.
He genuinely was so special even down to his iconic voice. So sad he had to pass when he did. He was only just at his peak and it happened😞 I miss him already
Journalistically, this has to be one of the best video reports I’ve seen in a long time.
Who tf cutting onions 😤
