Drakeo the Ruler has been stabbed and he has died as a result of injuries from the assault.  My kneejerk reaction was, "Live in a world of violence, pushing violence, and it's not a surprise that you die of violence."

But then I thought to myself, "Why do you immediately jump to such a conclusion, Mike?"

Well, first thing is that it isn't an altogether surprising conclusion of which to jump.  The rap industry is rife with violence and exists in a microcosm that canonizes violent offenders and felonious criminals.  Just take a look at the men who are deified by BLM in particular and the black American citizenry in general (e.g. George Floyd, a criminal that was found guilty of home invasion and spent 5 years in prison, a man who had been arrested 9 times for drug and theft charges, a man who resisted arrest when high on two different kind of drugs while trying to pass counterfeit money and died as a result, is considered a martyr and held in high esteem by the black community).

So my kneejerk reaction is based on the reality of the black community to gravitate towards violent and criminal behavior, finding such antics to be acceptable (if not inevitable and, moreover, admirable).

Still, I feel that I must do a bit of investigation just to see if this Drakeo dude is different from the norm in the rap community.  That is to say, maybe, just maybe, Drakeo the Ruler is an exception and not the rule.

Well, unsurprisingly, Drakeo the Ruler is an ex-con, on probation, for gang conspiracy and shooting from a vehicle.  Gee, another deified criminal.  Of course, Snoop Dogshit (who was there at the time of Drakeo's stabbing) is offering words of condolence to the family, even in the face of the fact that Snoop Dogshit is just as responsible for this violence, violence that he advocates in his every waking breath (and, just like the rest of his liberal brethren, blames upon anyone and everyone other than himself and his likeminded cronies).

My kneejerk reaction was 100% correct.  I am not surprised.  Goodbye Drakeo, you died precisely the way that you lived.
