REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — How dangerous is Los Angeles? 30 year old rapper PNB Rock was shot dead today in South L.A. We are told that PNB’s girlfriend publicized the location on Instagram in advance before they arrived, that the rapper was wearing expensive jewelry, may have challenged L.A. thugs in previous interview, and may have moved too slowly when a gunman demanded his jewelry. The Metropolitan South neighborhood is just about 6 miles from Downtown Los Angeles and USC. WARNING GRAPHIC VIDEOS: Robbery gone wrong? The robber may have chosen the location knowing that wealthy PNB would be there.
Some have asked why PNB would be at that location knowing that there are safer locations elsewhere. PNB has answered this question in previous interviews, in which he said, everywhere he goes, he desired to visit the hood, the more poverty-stricken, gritty neighborhoods — perhaps to be part of and embrace inner city minority culture. In interviews, PNB uses the word nigga very frequently, and spends considerable time discussing the scary atmosphere, creepy vibes and real dangers of Los Angeles. The outcome of this incident is profoundly sad. The Loft Blog expresses its sympathies to family, friends and fans of PNB. We hope word of this deeply disturbing, all-too-common tragedy initiates necessary changes that will increase the safety of Los Angeles.
