Alright, so, you wanna know about this PnB Rock fella and his, uh, whatchamacallit, viewing or funeral in Los Angeles? Well, lemme tell ya what I heard, pieced together like a patchwork quilt. It ain’t pretty, mind you, but it’s the truth as far as I can gather.
This poor young man, PnB Rock, they say he was a rapper. Don’t know much about that rappin’ stuff myself, but seems like he was popular with the young’uns. Real tragedy, it was. Heard tell he was just eatin’ lunch at some chicken place in South Los Angeles, Roscoe’s they call it, when some bad folks tried to rob him. And wouldn’t ya know it, they shot him. Killed him dead, right there. Awful, just awful.
- They say it happened on September 12th. Just a regular day, folks goin’ about their business, and then, bam! Life’s gone in a flash.
- This Roscoe’s place, it’s on Manchester Avenue. Heard it’s a busy street, lots of folks around. Still, those robbers, they didn’t care. Just shows ya, danger can be anywhere.
Now, about this viewing or funeral in Los Angeles… that’s where things get a bit murky. See, most of what I heard talks about a funeral service, but it wasn’t in Los Angeles. Nope, they took him back home to Philadelphia, where he came from.
From what I gather, they had a Muslim funeral service for him. Don’t know what that entails exactly, but I reckon it’s their way of saying goodbye and sendin’ him off to the next world. They held it at some place called the Khadijah Alderman Funeral Home. Sounds fancy, but I bet it was a sad, sad day for his family and friends.
This funeral, they say it was on Wednesday, September 21st. So, about a week after he passed. Quick, wasn’t it? Guess they wanted to lay him to rest soon as they could. Can’t blame ’em for that. Grieving takes its toll, you know?
Now, I ain’t heard nothin’ about a viewing or a separate funeral in Los Angeles. Could be they had somethin’ small, private-like, for folks who couldn’t make it to Philadelphia. But mostly, the news is all about that Philly service. Seems like that’s where his people are, where he belonged.
They also say he changed his name to PnB Rock, somethin’ to do with a street corner where he grew up and some musicians he liked. Pastorius and Baynton, they were called. Never heard of ’em myself, but sounds like they meant somethin’ to him. It’s like he was carryin’ a piece of home with him wherever he went, even when he was makin’ it big in the rappin’ world.
And now, all that’s left is sadness and memories. Folks mournin’ him, rememberin’ the good times. His family, his friends, his fans… they’re all hurtin’. It’s a shame, such a young life cut short. Makes you think, don’t it? About how precious life is, and how quickly it can be taken away.
So, to answer your question, as far as I can tell, there wasn’t no big public viewing or funeral for PnB Rock in Los Angeles. The main service, the one everyone’s talkin’ about, was in Philadelphia. That’s where he was laid to rest, back home where he belonged. It’s a sad story, but that’s the way it is sometimes. Life ain’t always fair, and sometimes, the good ones go too soon. Makes you wanna hold your loved ones close, you know? ‘Cause you never know when it’ll be your time to say goodbye.
Anyways, that’s the gist of it. Hope that answers your question, even if it ain’t the news you were expectin’. Just a sad tale about a young man gone too soon, and a family left heartbroken. Lord have mercy on ’em all.
