When I was in prison, I'd see the most talented ppl ever. Rapping, drawing, tattoos, jail house attorneys, basketball, etc. Crazy talented ppl up in there. It's a shame.

I love Von's honesty about how he makes his music. "People say Took Her to the O sounds exactly like Crazy Story, like yeah it is exactly like Crazy Story, a mf ain't have no beat in jail whuchu want me to do." lmfaoo. RIP Von straight legend

Over three years, I still came back to watch dude. Live Long King VON👑

2024 who’s still here?

“This man said in real life people know what’s going on” that was the most humblest threat ever 😭😭😭😭

Adam was out here interviewing a real live villain

bruh i swear all the toughest gangsters be the most chillest and respectful ppl ever

Still can't believe my favorite rapper gone. Bros energy was everything.. We won't get another story teller like this in a loooong time 😓

This was probably the best Von interview cause Adam let Von talk an didn’t cut him off like most do

King von really do be sounding like gangster Michael Jackson

He was a perfect example of raw energy, and whether you liked it, or not, or agreed with what he did or not, you cannot deny his authenticity to what he portrayed

Because Adam had no clue about Von street life and approached KV like an artist with a rough background, makes this interview one of my favorites he ever sat down to do. You can tell Von likes the questioning too and is giving a lot of insightful answers

Smart, dangerous, caring, talented, intellectual, good flows, good bars, good voice. Dude had everything needed to become the next huge mega star. He was already big when he died. Such a huge loss.

RIPVON dude had a trait that is almost extinct now a days. LOYALTY. the real ones leaving so soon. it’s heartbreaking man.

He’s not the typical gangster rapper despite his rep as being the “serial killer” rapper. He actually seems really friendly and gentle personality, which actually makes him scarier if what is said about him is true. I was expecting a way way different personality. He even has a kind face. It’s sad that in 2023 humans are still born into a life of poverty and violence. One day I hope we figure it out.

i like how he murdered a bunch of people but humans be so swooned by charismatic people they just point out all his positive traits lmao. he's so handsome and so charming. never mind that he lacks empathy, is a bully is a killer. people love psychopaths and sociopaths shits crazy.

Adam: Does your ankle monitor stay in the back of your mind sometimes?

Von: hell no it jus be tied to my ankle what you mean.

i’ve voted him every hour for xxl

Von was such a unique person….soft spoken but hard as f$ck…..a steel fist with a velvet glove…. The world is a bit less colorful without him
