On February 19, 2020, a rising rapper named Bashar Baraka Jackson, known professionally as Pop Smoke, passed away sometimes, sometimes you just want to disconnect alone now I'll address some things I've read negatively about him, some of these theories were While He Was Alive and After of his death, as you read in the title, I'm talking about Drew's sangha from the UK and his alleged

homophobia

from people who don't know much about black hip-hop culture before doing it, let me discuss some things about background of pop

smoke

July 20, 1999 Bashar Baraka Jackson was born and raised in Brooklyn New York his mother Andre Jackson is Jamaican and his father Greg Jackson is Afro-Panamanian now some people thought you were Jamaican I don't know I had to emphasize that I felt energy from what you said there, you understand me, some people thought that you were Jamaican, but I heard that you are from Panama as your heritage and that yes, tell us about the heritage, my dad is panda minion and my dad is Jamaican, I mean.

I say my puppies and my dad are a Panamanian pop sister and my mom is Jamaican, Australian. He had an older brother named Obasi when he was a teenager in a middle-class place in Karasi, Brooklyn. Jackson attended nine different schools due to his troubled past in school. He was changing schools. the best option for him while attending Rocktop Academy in Philadelphia, he had to leave after being diagnosed with a heart murmur. Jackson ended up doing candy knife activities at his home in Kanawski, Brooklyn. Pop Smoke versus UK Drill. Now Pop Smoke has never claimed to run UK Drill.

No. Drill Music in general, their UK-based producer, Eight or Eight Manual, has been credited with making the instrumentals for most of Smoke's pop music, especially his debut mixtape Meet the Womb, so you You've connected with 808 beats from here, man, you've connected with him. The smooth 808 rhythms of the UK, I mean, how did you connect with it, man? Because you know, I mean, he's a little bit off the beaten path, yeah, off YouTube, literally, off YouTube, yeah, did you enjoy the 808 drum patterns and did it remind you of when he played? african drums in his church as a child possible team 808 medal to new york to produce most meets wound one of the articles on the guardian highlighted that 808 medler was not credited for creating the party welcome instrumental and this was due to the fact that New Yorkers didn't really know who he was since he wasn't from the US, he was from the UK.

I'll be honest, I didn't know the existence of 808 metal until he worked with pop

smoke

on his debut album and I found out the year pop smoke passed away 2020. I didn't know it in me. I heard about Dior Party Workers and his other records on Meet the Room. I didn't know that he played a huge factor in the success. from smorg pop music and the fact that he is a british black man, i was shocked, that's the best way to play, i didn't even think he was a british black man, i really thought he was from the states or somewhere place, whether it's New York City or even Chicago, one thing I could say is that pop smokes before I even know he passed away, he always recognized his producer 808 mellow, he always recognized him and there are even articles about them working together and how he gives He also credited him for his success, so it wasn't just one-way street pop.

Smoke made it clear that it wasn't just him and he didn't create the sound. He always recognized it. Pop Smoke has worked with numerous UK records. producers including yoy's beats cash money ap jamaica to name a few pop smoke versus

homophobia

accusations that pop smoke is homophobic once he said he rests on earth i can't handle this because he's gay now i know some people probably no You will agree with me, but this is what I understand from the song contract when it says that this specific verse I can't handle this because it's gay, it doesn't mean it, like it's talking about men who are gay or part of the collective lgbtq.

It's possible that the press community referred to them as a colony and that they just hated him and didn't want to see him succeed, that's what I understand from the concept of the song in the next verse, pop smoke declared holding my page, suck and kick. all my comments were just yelling my name while I was in the club throwing hundreds and fifties at them as you could see hopefully in my opinion he wasn't trying to be homophobic when he uses the word gay he's using it like it's them in it . They feed, they try to get your attention and they just try to hate and yes I know it's a problematic way to think and use the word gay as a negative way to describe your enemies.

He remembers the pop smoke when he wasn't alive with his knife. he was different, he wasn't, he wasn't just your typical regular rapper who grew up in the suburbs or was middle class, he grew up on the streets and I'm not saying that's excusable because obviously pop smoke grew up in the middle. class area bed he was with the wrong people at certain times in his life and that side of the knife was different just for my young me you feel like where we come from we can't afford to slip up Don't make mistakes, you heard because they are watching and they want us to do it.

I'm saying that all eyes are on us. You know what I'm saying, he's not even alive to defend it, so he's dead and that's my problem. Where was this energy when? he was alive, why now that he's dead do people want to bring this up, especially white people, because from what I've been seeing, a lot of these white people have been trying to have this discussion about him doing this specifically with this youtuber. pipe with the screenshot that he tried to scream, make a kid for appearing on the pop song smoke for his second album. My problem is I know if he's trying to prove a point by trying to call Doom Jump or a hypocrite for trying to drop the baby but collaborating with pop but the thing is you can't compare the two because the baby is alive and the baby what he had done was problematic and once again he is alive and it was in a live setting, whenever possible, it was in the song and people start. to criticize him more now that he's dead and I'm not sure maybe people criticized him we, when it came out, so when it came out, I may never know before reading, these complaints were after his death, no why I'm not alive for me yeah it's important to get attention from celebrities but especially when something they've done is problematic but when they're dead and they can't defend themselves they try to lock them up and I'm like a bet because of any way mom is still uploading again one thing I want to say before I end this video, I want to mention that to the people on reddit who are not black and use the n word without reaping the n word or just saying it to say It's a favor, just keep it in your hearts you know what I'm saying and keep streaming keep supporting and keep it alive because there will be some people who will want to take it away from you you know what I'm saying and you know.

I just want my brother to live because you know he didn't have the life that I thought you should have so thank you so much if you made it this far in this video. I appreciate you checking out the Chew for the Stars base, specifically the marijuana smoking base. to celebrate marijuana smoke and give back to their community and Kanasi Brookman, it will be in the description if you want to check it out. Also, this video will be out a few weeks before the possible second anniversary of his death and as a fan of his work, I think that if you are a fan or if you want to become a fan you should listen to his music, of course, if you feel like you are going to be offended, don't , but I feel like we should give everyone a chance to not say if they do something that is very problematic, but what I'm saying is smoke pop, this was something bad that he did and I'm making planes because we all know that no one is the same and smoke Pop, he had the story, you know? thank you and what are you?

What do you see for yourself? What is the aspiration in five years? What is smoke pop? Look in five years yes, give it to me, break it down, sing on the throne.
