Last week, the Hip Hop community was left to mourn the death of yet another musician.
According to Houston’s ABC 13, Houston lyricist Mr. 3-2 (born Christopher Barriere) died after being shot in the head at a Houston gas station overnight on Thursday (November 10). He was 44.
Authorities revealed that the four men involved in the encounter, including the shooter, all knew one another.
After shooting the first victim in the back of the head, the suspect reportedly drove off and returned to the gas station moments later. Upon returning, he opened fire again, shooting a second victim and injuring others at the gas station who were caught in the gunfire.
“Unfortunately the shot gun blast, not all the pellets hit its intended target and continued past and struck multiple other targets including another witness who was shot in the leg,” HPD Sgt. Michael Arrington said, according to ABC 13.
Well-known in the Houston Hip Hop community, Mr. 3-2 was a member of The Convicts (alongside Big Mike) and Screwed Up Click, and had worked with the likes of UGK, 8Ball & MJG, Scarface and Snoop Dogg.
A number of rappers, including Snoop Dogg, turned to social media to express their condolences and pay tribute to Mr. 3-2.
“Rest well. O. G. He the one who told me we don’t love dem hoes in 1991. Damn cuz Convicts. Lord. 32,” Snoop Dogg wrote in an Instagram caption.

So when is #BlackLivesMatter holding a demonstration for this guy? Or do black lives only matter if the suspect is white?
Probably when white folks do a WLM for Dylan Nobles. WHO was shot by white cops and yea…white people were protesting. Set some fire to that.
Dylan’s family protested… Not white people and they did it because when white people are killed by police, which is way more often, almost double the amount, there is no national news, no protest, no convictions, no rioting just nothing… But blacks get one scratch and it’s everywhere in your face, the persons name gets drilled in your fuckin head and is brought up everytime there is any other incident big or small but not us it’s not brought up EVER! SO WHO REALLY MATTERS AND WHO DOESNT.. the reason why we bring up blm every time black people murder each other which is every second of the day is because you mf try to act as if the less than 5 percent of cops who have killed ya’ll is the problem and the 85-90 percent of black on black murders are irrelevent. but hey whatever I’m about to kick back and watch this video on how great it is to be around you mf.
As most intellectually lacking right wingers your stating incorrect statistics to promote a complete lie, nice try white fella. Respect the black community or get your ass stomped by it. Kick back to that!
Lmao the black community is only 13% of this country….caucasians are 63%+….not to mention if you look into fire arm sales 80% of those are being bought by who? So watch it with the stomping shit cause trust me thats the line the real white supremecists and people on the fence are waiting for black people to start assaulting/killing white people for a skin pigment difference cause then you can try and catch bullets while you “stomp” hell i got 3 ar 15’s 2 ak’s 1 saiga 12 and a .458 socom so come and try and stomp me for being white just tell me which clip you want me to fill you full with the 20 round or the 100 round drums?
You white boys lol, 3 AR 15s huh?? R.i.p My uncle 32 WICKED BUDDHA BAYBEE
As most intellectually lacking right wingers your stating incorrect statistics to promote a complete lie, nice try white fella. Respect the black community or get your ass stomped by it. Kick back to that! Sorry about that, That Guy
Somebody’s mad.
All wiggers on this site, who love rap..and dick ride Black ppl, but on the sneak be throwing slugs! Don’t worry Bout BLM, krackas need to get sum business..Internet mfz, catch u in traffic and open your mf head up!!
When they catch the guy who did it, but refuse to charge him, even though everyone knows he did it, then they’ll demonstrate for that too. Understand? Or will your kindergarten-level critical thinking skills not allow you to?
“And if I die or should I say if I go, bury me in Hiram Clarke next to the Kum-n-Go!” Crazy Rip Mr 3-2, Really Doe Big Baby..
RIP 3-2… i got love for the H
Black on black crime, who could have ever guessed….
Why do trolls bring up blm in every single post?
Think about it. If it weren’t brought up so much, it wouldn’t be criticized.
Rest in power blac monk lord 3-2
