The murder of Takeoff of Migos has shocked and stunned Hip-Hop fans and artists. The Atlanta rapper was killed Oct. in Houston after an argument in a bowling alley, according to reports, and notables have been sharing their thoughts on the late star. During his latest Drip Report, Harlem's Jim Jones spoke about Takeoff's legacy and spoke about his talent.

“Their contributions to Hip Hop will never be duplicated,” Jones said. “From the rap flows, to the cadence that they added to this game—and all the spices we see all the kids been trying to emulate. Takeoff was a special person out of that bunch, and you can tell from every record that he was on.”

He continued: “The great Takeoff—you will never, ever be forgotten. You left a mark that no one will ever forget, my friend.”

Born Kirshnik Khari Ball, Takeoff shot to stardom alongside Offset and Quavo as the trio Migos. The trap rappers scored hits like "Fight Night" and "Bad and Boujee" and countless guest appearances. Takeoff's killing led to widespread grief and outrage from notable rappers.

"I’m devastated…. way too young and too dope, my condolences goes out to his family I am absolutely crushed," Scarface wrote on Twitter. Ja Rule also mourned the loss, writing, "Rip Takeoff… this shit has to STOP… sending love to friends and family."

T-Mo of Goodie Mob echoed the sentiment, wondering what kind of times we're living in, and calling the killing "disgusting." "I'm just sad bro," he captioned his IG video. Master P shared his thoughts in an especially poignant video, captioning his post with "Hip-Hop is dying too young." "We gotta move differently," he said in the video, "don't be afraid to hire police details to get you home."
