YG released his new album I Got Issues on Friday, September 30, and the track "How To Rob A Rapper," featuring Mozzy and D3szn, is rubbing people the wrong way.
That has everything to do with PnB Rock being gunned down during a robbery at Roscoe's House of Chicken 'N Waffles in Los Angeles last month.
"Peep game, I’ma teach you how to rob a rapper / Catch a n*gga lackin’, he slackin’ on IG Live / He gon’ show his whereabouts on accident, he be high / He gon’ show the jewels he wearing and the car that he drive," rapped YG.
It's said that Rock was wearing a lot of jewelry when he was murdered. Moreover, his girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang posted a geotagged photo of her meal right before the killer approached the late artist. So some said the timing of the song is horrible.
We live in an age where songs can be removed from albums in real time. YG's "How To Rob A Rapper" should have been taken off considering PNB Rock

In light of PnB Rock being robbed and murdered in LA, YG dropping a song called “How to Rob a Rapper” is a lil too much.

In light of PnB’s tragic murder, it was extremely irresponsible of Def Jam to let this “How To Rob A Rapper” track on YG’s album come out so soon
