Today in Canarsie, Brooklyn is the funeral procession of Bashar Jackson, aka Pop Smoke, and fans from all over the area came together to celebrate the life and legacy of a New York rapper that will live forever as a legend, making the NY scene for rapping poppin.
The procession took place in Zoe Block, the area between (82nd and Flatlands), and is one of the last opportunities for fans to pay tribute to Pop. Videos on the scene show loads of fans lined behind barricades watching Pop be carried via horse and carriage within his casket, closely followed behind 50 Cent and his Lamborghini. The energy was crazy, fans telling Pop they loved him, shouting him out and throwing some woo's his way as he passed by for what to some will be the last time they see him.
You can watch just a small example of the procession below. Gives you the chills.
