As a father to a six year old boy,, the end had me in tears!.. I can't imagine mine having to face this cruel world without me there to have their backs. 😢 R.i.P Dolph
My biggest fear is leaving my child to fend for himself in this crazy ass world, raise your kids or the world will.
As a black father you are responsible for all of your children’s well being. He should’ve moved his entire family out of Memphis and never looked back. After surviving that first shootout he should’ve doubled his security.
@@amazonglamazon6633 100 shots happened in Charlotte not Memphis tho. Plus he was home trying to make a difference. He never rapped about killing people in his music from my knowledge. Whether you leave the hood or not, Young Black Men deserve to grow old. 💯
The last part got me too 😪💔 REST In Power DOLPH
I have a 4 year old son" i feel the sameway bro🙏🙏
For a news channel this was put together very well. R I P DOLPH 🐬🐬🐬

I hope the current big name guys see what's going on with all the jealousy and envy and follow the foot steps of Jay z, drake, slim thug and many others who never spoke it or gave up the gangster stuff and just got or still getting the money and fame... I wouldn't know but the transition over has to be simple when you've basically made it already
Church!
My father was killed and it took me almost 20 years to be able to say or even hear his name without crying. He was my best friend. Thinking about all the kids losing their parents… their best friends makes me sad. Thinking about how sad I was makes me sad. I’m praying the family gets grief counseling and heals.
I’m so sorry💔.

Why was he killed, if I may ask?
Sorry bro....
Till this day I still can’t believe Dolph isn’t on the earth anymore but his music will live on won’t be forgotten .. long live Dolph ☹️🙏🏼
How does that happen
His murder got me so mad. I'm so tired of the violence 🤦🏽♀️. RIP KING OF MEMPHIS
He wants war he got war stop it
DJ Paul is the king of memphis
@Bobs & Vagana don't cry it's ok soft boy
@Bobs & Vagana Yea
@Bobs & Vagana you way to soft go to the army you're a loser in life
That baby is ALREADY walking in his father's shoes. First by trying to support his mother and little sister like he knows his father would. Praying for these babies, his wife, his family. Only GOD can give them the strength they need to BREATHE everyday without Dolph in their lives. Sending so much love to Memphis from Texas 💋❤️

It just shows he raised him right. I hope he doesn’t let this turn him callous to the world though.

My brother was shot and killed on7/4/2021 He has two kids and I’m gonna do my best to show them all the love I have. What’s crazy is about 7 years ago my brother had me listening to Young Dolph I’ve been a fan since day one
Keep ya head for them kids fam
Condolences about your brother. May he Rest In Peace.
Stay strong
Yall forget it's the south......
The south artist will die more ....
The gunplay in the south creepy man
....go to the pawn shops in the south and we can talk differently
❤️🏁
Please don't let his babies follow the same career it's okay to be something else besides a rapper
@MobBarley
He actually says in an interview he did that he does not want his son to be in the music industry. He made it clear he would rather see him in a totally different lane such as real estate. So sad they took him away from his children. We can only hope they honor his wishes and vision for his children. RIP Adolph Thornton Jr
He already said he didn't want his son to follow in his footsteps and become a rapper
@@sashawalker2602 thank you 🙏
@@courtneyb6953 thank God 🙏
Another thing he always said about his kids was for every birthday his kids had he'd buy them some type of real estate he wanted the best for them besides being a rapper 🙏
His little boy is already years ahead of his time. Dolph would be proud🙌
Jealous and envy. When u make it even a little famous, u have to leave the area where you are from and never go back. You have to love from a distance. Also the gang stuff is worst then ever. One of those dudes had a chopper thats ridiculous..
sad to say, but damn near EVERYONE IN MEMPHIS, has MULTIPLE GUNS….it’s OPEN SEASON here in Memphis 😔
Ppl say he shouldn’t of went back, yes he should.....Dolph was all about being smart and using what u got to lift someone else out the mud. Dolph was Memphis, he wasn’t the king 👑 bc of how popular he was, he was the king because of how many lives he impacted. LLD
If someone wants you dead, you can get killed anywhere.
@Free T 🙄🥴🥴You are pathetic indeed. Girl bye
I have never seen no news channel that was so happy to catch a murderer suspect And broadcast it these people love dolph for real And not only that young Dolph put God in all his music this ain’t nothing but the Lord returning his favor
Man...his son speaking of his dad and the lessons Dolph taught him on how to be a good man, that just broke my heart right there. You can tell Dolph was a good dad by those words that kid spoke. He is going to miss his dad more than anything, but he will always remember the lessons learned. That will be more valuable than anything else Dolph could have given him. Look forward to this young man growing up to be President one day...or maybe something far greater than any of us could imagine. His options will be unlimited thanks to the doors his father has opened for him. All of the hip hop industry will be behind this family...because not only was Dolph a good man, but he was trying to help others and allow them to do good as well. This piece really did illustrate how Dolph was out there in the community trying to promote peace and allowing the young to grow old and stop acting as if life doesn't matter. He was trying to teach these kids the value of life, and he became another casualty of the war he was trying to end.
Black on black violence is a whole other type of evil. They really don't want to see anyone doing better than them...jealousy is an ugly thing. I know Dolph would've helped Johnson do his thing, as he wasn't really a bad rapper (yeah, he sounded like Sheisty, as many have noted).
These 2 men are just demons who don't know the value of life...which makes sense, as Dolph was worth 100 of them combined (likely more than that).
RIP Adolph...and no worries, the world will look out for your children and family. No one would ever allow harm to come to them, of that I am sure.
The world may be ugly, but there is beauty sprinkled throughout.

Go sit your trolling ass down somewhere.

Bye troll
@@thisgame2 the beef was between Elton John’s butt cheeks, what’s your point?
F-in weirdo.
I hope so. Hes only 6 so hes going to spend the majority of his formative years fatherless. And has suffered more trauma due to his murder than many of us will experience in our entire lives which unfortunately does not result in a stable adulthood. He's the sweetest little boy though and I wish him so much success in life. RIP Dolph. I'm born and raised in Memphis. We all were so proud of him and especially proud how he chose to give back to the extremely impoverished and struggling community that is our city. 🐬🙏🏻💙
I hope they realize what a horrible thing they did. Rest in Peace Young Dolph!
They don't care
They can’t understand/process sympathy or empathy

Maybe this is the exposure we need to tell us we have a culture issue, let’s not be afraid to keep the conversation going.
Your right it's a Culture problem. Nothing but a bunch of niggas who wasnt raised right.

You can just tell how good a father/person dolph was by his sons words at the stand. 💯👌🏼 R.I.P Dolph Gabbana!

Amazing how jazz, R&B, country, rock, classical, and blues artists don't killed at the insane rate that rap stars do..... It couldn't be all the drugs, guns, gangs, and money issues they get invovled in, rap about, or associate with. Overall just a really sad situation but totally avoidable.
Who gave it to us?
Yeah, I'm done with hip hop...
@@destinixshakur sorry don’t understand your question, what was given? And who is us?
NOT a sad situation. A dead rapper is a good rapper. They literally destroy the youth with their influence. "But he donated a turkey and some money".... who cares! He preaches disgusting lyrics that manipulate the youth. Ain't no love for a hypocrite
His son gone grow up looking for blood
They may have to re visit this story cause it's about 2 get a lot deeper than that LLD 🐬💔
@Bobs & Vagana what do u mean
So sad to see that young child at the end, stand strong knowing he will never see Dad again.😪 My heart breaks for you!🙏🏾💜

Nobody has no right to shoot anybody. These young rappers have the right to enjoy their success
Wow that’s a dumb statement
@@REV-1 lol
This generation of young men is lost. Mostly raised in a single mother household. Turned 2 rappers 4 male guidance. Its out of control we need more leaders in the community.
Aww!! That just touched my heart. Keeping Dolph's family in my prayers. Rest in power King! I wish I could have met you. You the definition of real. You're the realist.
I'm glad the media is covering actual news once again, people have to stop hurting 1 another, rip 🐬

One suspect is 23 the other 32 and caught 55 days later
numbers have been weird a lot lately.
Senseless killing in our community particularly to young men who could benefit and uplift us. We have to quit biting our nose to spite our face.
I remember when I told my sister about Young Dolph's death. She was very devastated
Good to see him get his recognition. By main stream media. R.I.P. you are loved and missed my brother.

is all about jealousy

Thank you for the update abc
Glad to see major news networks covering this
Ikrr🥺
Mankind is showing his insanity
They get what they preach ... Its sad
Damn bro sound like pooh shiesty!!!
Seeing his family brought tears to my eyes
I stopped listening to Rap music few years ago, the majority of it, just tired of the violence, culture, hate, you take out the beats, the message is crazy, you listen to it over and over and over, you think its true, endless circle, around around and around
I can't stand seeing people say ignorant ish like that. Hell, r&b singers even have violent songs. Don't just call out one genre call em all out. So you must've started listening only to gospel because majority of this bullshit being put out is on some domestic abuse or some type of violence.
Rap is garbage now...
Sure Jan 🤣
Probably because it's not music.

Been listening to everything dolph dropped since 2016. He had my flowers… while he was here and now that he’s gone. Rest In Peace young dolph 🐬
1st let me get this out the way, the melanated sister in the opening of the segment is beautiful. 2nd I would like to know how that detective gonna try and trick us with, darkening his beard mid segment?🤷♂️🤣🤯 3rd Young Dolph was thee Prince and, hero of his City. The people who ended his, life won't rest easy in their lives because they destroyed everything that man had built.The world loved Dolph! And last but not least, his son is going to be a beast when he becomes a man because, he was raised by a warrior and a Queen with great wisdom. 💯♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Rih Young Dolph!
I bet he didn't marry his mother.
One thing about it....if u innocent....Y U RUN...SMMFH....🙏🏿🙏🏿LONG LIVE DOLPH🙏🏿
Wow that young man was able to speak so loving about his father without breaking down. Many Prays to Dolphs' loved ones and children.
My Condolences To The Families And My Prayers Are With You
Rest In Peace Young Dolph 🌹🌹🌸🌸🌼🌼🌺🌺💐💐🌷🌷🎶🦋🌈🦋
32yo shooter +23yo shooter = captured 55days later
People are blind if they can’t see these set-ups. And reading through the comments most of you really believe this was just a random violent act
RIP Young Dolph, We Love You International.
We love you Dolph glad your getting justice 🙏
Heart Breaking, I Hate that happened to my Man, DOLPH!
“Promising” makes it sound like he was a new rapper on the up and up, dolph was already a legend
Im so tired of this senseless violence. Black Folks We Gotta Do Better. And for you killers youll need God in Your lives Get it tf together Smfh
I'm sick of hearing violent music it gives out bad energy
If you watch the trackhawk video its a confession. The bass prop shop image at the beginning of the video. The video taking place at a solo gas station which is the last place dolph was seen alive. And in the lyrics he mentions 50 shots in 20 seconds. The music can change. But the record labels have to change whats acceptable. The social media platforms have to change whats acceptable. Right now the people who go viral and get the most views and get the record contracts are the ones who commit murders and rap about it. Billions of dollars are being made off of young black men killing each other and then snitching on themselves and speaking on the dead. These record labels and social media platforms know that most likely these lyrics and the content are linked to actual murders. But they promote it. If you're a talented rapper with no body count and no gang affiliation, you will not make it in this genre of music. The reason our favorite rappers are dying, is because most of our favorite rappers are known killers and gang members. Give them a stage and a mic and a social media platform and now their enemies know exactly where they are at all times. It's not rocket science. The real question is when do the owners of these major labels or platforms start getting sued, imprisoned and held accountable? We cant change anything if young men growing up in poor communities see people commit murders, rap about it, go viral, get record deals, make millions. Thats literally the hip hop industry the past 5 to 7 years. We even created a sub Genre to it. Called Drill Music aka Murder Music. These rich execs don't know that? The rappers barely make 10 percent of the market share. The other 90 percent is made by the music execs. In my opinion the real killers are the record labels. The social media platforms that allow them to go viral and live while engaging in criminal activity. If we can cut the leader of criminal enterprise off ( Donald Trump ) from the world why can't we do that to drill rappers. There is literally a rapper getting killed almost every day in America. Some of them known. Some unknown or aspiring. Either way something has to be done. I love hip hop. I was raised in hip hop. It inspired me. It was my voice. My life. It spoke about the trials and tribulations of living in the ghetto, and dreams to get out. Buy momma a house. Leave the hood. Do better. It doesn't do that anymore. Hip hop told the world the oppression we were experiencing in our communities. How did we go from being the ones oppressed to also being our own oppressors. As a black man, the worst crime you can commit is taking the life of another black man. We have to fight literally everyone for everything we want or need in life. We should not have to fight ourselves too. Where do i go for peace? A break? Why can't I be in the presence of other black men without keeping my head on a swivel? It's a sad existence. It's tiring. And its OUR fault!!!! We CHOOSE to accept this as the norm. I refuse to! I refuse to be afraid of my own people. I refuse to not feel safe in any poor black community in America. I refuse to take the life of another black man for 5 minutes of fame. When we change the industry changes. When we say enough is enough our neighborhoods change. But beyond the ghettos are downtown execs making decisions on what gets air play. What goes viral. And who the next big artist is. In my opinion......if you knowingly gave a multi million dollar record contract to a known gang member and a known killer, you deserve just as much time as they do!!! Because your actions will lead to the death of other people and clearly that artist himself. And if they don't own their masters.........then it's a real payday aint it? They are paying our kids to kill each other for a check. Its as simple as that. So i'm happy they got the shooters. But I need them to get the real shooters. The boardroom shooters!
Exactly!!!
Why is everyone playing stupid? We all know we know.... No one is fooled
It’s not putting it on hip hop, it’s putting it on rap. There’s a difference. These writers need to sit down.
Best part of that whole video was at the end when his son said he's going to be the best person u will ever see !! That was priceless....
Hearing dolph's son speak brought tears to my eyes
Dolph knew he was loved, 1 thing we know is he knew that......."I finally realized that I done turned myself into a mfn self made millionaire EVERYBODY LOVES ME........." - "In my city I'm more important than the mfn MAYOR" - "For the past 10yrs I been telling these young niggas what wear and what to smoke" Dolph knew his role in hiphop he carved it out and stayed in it that's why he was major he created a lane filled it now that he's gone theres a void I plan to fill like his son he taught me well.
Stop the VIOLENCE especially in a time when we should ultimately be a united in light of Covid. It doesn’t discriminate what race or status we happen to be. Such a sad state of affairs! I pray for everyone in these troubled times to guide us through & come together as one regardless of who or what we are. Humanity has become so engrossed in self preservation it’s forgotten about what it means to be simply HUMAN! God bless & watch over all! R.I.P. 🪦
Great coverage of such tragic story. Memphis stand up!
We miss dolph 😪 and we ❤ love him 😢 💔 wow what a loss rip dolph 🙏
If y'all only knew of the people who are amazing people working behind scenes to bring these guys forth before it gets to the news shout out to paperwork party!!!!!!!!
This is just sad 😞, especially when the son was talking , tears in my eyes 😢
I miss the days of peaceful, unity inspired hip hop. We knew how to settle beefs with a microphone not a gun. I understand many of you are young and violence is all you've ever known but read a little. You'd be amazed at what you learn. Not all information/data is on the internet.
And when was this!?
When?
When? What about Pac and Biggie? Both artists were killed by people in their inner circle.
@@EscapeRanger The early years. 1980's and 90's.
@@christineperez7562 Hip hop existed BEFORE Tupac and Biggie.
This isn't a 2000s thing. Rappers have been dying since Scott Larock in the 80's.
Hip Hop is the music of Urban Communities. Whatever issues exist in America will be reflected in the music and take place.
Look at America, gun violence is crazy. Rappers aren't immune because they come from and still are present in these areas.
No other form of music is as closely intertwined with the issues of the poor urban centers as hip hop.
Thank you ABC for posting and giving the attention of these incidents on your media platform hopefully more media do the same and give the real reason of why we losing black lives more and more
Live by the sword die the sword. It's that simple. You can't live that lifestyle and expect to get a pass in any hood even if it's your own. Someone always out to get you.
True but everybody want to pretend like it happens for no reason
I love you dolph my heart goes out to all his loved ones.❤️❤️❤️😭
Jealousy is no joke I had a friend that I thought was a friend and here she is giving out my address to men I didn't know showing up at my door and my phone number it's a dangerous World out here and denied it with the hate coming from her I had to pack up and move to another apartment my heart and prayers goes out to the family.
Praise God they got caught !!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Way too much jealousy in our community. Crabs in a pot mentality seems to never subside.🌹
Long live Dolph
This is still sad and will for ever be sad I lost my father it’s about 22 years now I’m still in tears from time to time its sad 😞 how u can just put an gun in your hand and kill someone his kids gotta live without him that’s wrong on all level bless their hearts god protect them 🙏🏾

I've never heard this guy never listen to his music until he was killed. I don't know anything about these young rappers I'm from the old school. But it's a damn shame.
No bail for violent crimes. Assault rape murder NO BAIL!!!
I really don't know what's wrong with our young people today. All the jealousy and hatred towards each other. They have to stop trying to live up to this false image of bravado which was put out there by these corporations. Rest In Peace young king. Condolences to the family.

So glad they've been arrested.. Sending love and peace to his wife and children💫🕊️💕 I believe what his son said too. Can't wait to see what you do little man.

Dolph and nipsey are on their own lane. They are different from a king von who beat a murder case, gets put on a record deal, goes and gets another murder case 1000 miles away then gets himself smoked 🔫
I don’t agree with Derrick because it happens outside of hip hop it’s just amplifies when famous people are involve.
False
I think his point is that rappers are the only one's getting killed. R&b, pop and country singers aren't being killed, its always the rappers🤔
@@ultramag0343 he's 💯% correct and only the ignorant think otherwise! These kids worship and wanna be just like the drill rappers they love and listen too. It "pays" very well to actually live the street life and rap about it! Social media, radio, and record companies will reward you tremendously for being a criminal! That's what the people wanna hear and what makes the big bucks. The direction "rap" music has taken is definitely part of the problem.
Rip to my favorite rapper 🙏🏽 it's DOLPH!!! 🐬🐬🐬
