      If wassi was killed by the cops for pulling a gun on them while wanted for a double homicide how can you call his death a murder? It’s inflammatory and flat out wrong! How do you not know the definition of murder? If someone pulls a gun on us here in America we’re allowed to legally defend ourselves and if we happen to kill that person that doesn’t make it a murder and it damn sure don’t make you a murderer it’s called self-defense. God you people in Europe really are out of touch. Your governments have neutered you.

    One important thing I don't think you mentioned is that it's much harder for street rappers from Toronto to make it to America because a criminal record prevents you from crossing the border. That's why Pressa is super lucky he got his charges dropped and is now living in L.A.
