I think the whole story is really sad. I mean how was it self defence im mean he was shot in the back! And there were ppl with dolla. And the man flee the area. So I don’t know why they really think there going to get alway with ths. I just get sad when some one who is getting there life 2ether. And they get there dreams up and moving and they die over some bullshyt! To add he was only 21 yrs old . He was 2 young to die

ALL OF THIS IS SOME BILL SHYT HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT IT WAS SELF DEFENSE AND YOU FLEE RITE AFTA IT HAPPEN IF YOU SAY IT WAS SELF DEFENSE YOU WOULD HAD STAY THERE AND WAITED TILL THE COPS OR ANYBODY HEPL GET THERE AND at that HE GOT SHOT IN THE DAMN HEAD!!!!!!!! naw you did the crime now he going to pay the tyme anit no if and’s but’s about that. Dolla just started his lyfe the way he wonted to be was he mad cause he wasnt like hym or something? that is some real bullshyt.

how is it self defense when he followed rod to the mall. let the asxhole get life

Et is really some shit

Man no one deseves to die in such a way this young man did.I am reading all these statments and it like you know him personal. If he was such a good guy why is he still living the same gang life, why is he starting trouble in the public jumping his killer one week befor over some mocho man stuff but your life has changed. The killer a young man who has just graduated college never been in any trouble live an excellent life.

shouldn’t have been talking sh*t.

This was clearly not self defense. And it wasn’t a coincedence that they were both at the same restaurant at the same time. I’m not buying it. Roderick was shot several times in the back. How was he defending himself from a person with their back towards him? And why was he carrying a gun? Plus Roderick was un armed. Things are not adding up. He’s just trying to save his azz.

How typical. Probably even left his drivers license at the crime scene too. What idiots. Boo Hoo. This whole BS image is getting really old. This picture makes him look like a retard too. Your a rapper, your sell drugs, you pimp hos, you’ve got dope rymes,your hard, yawn. Did I miss anything? What’s so special? BY the way, real gangsters don’t rap. They usually appear out of nowhere and don’t get caught at the airport with a gun stupid

fukk what all yall say…we kno what really happen.

free my Cousin Aubrey Berry!

u haters don’t deserve to breave, like dolla don’t deserve to leave, u rather hate on her and he, u cowards probably murder me. u third degree haters, hate us first degree players. probably got it from yo daddy u aint worth the seed that made ya. the reason why there’s no peace, and war on earth wont cease, so after life you burn while my people walk on gold streets…. tymebomb1 Hawthorne cali. macc life

Do you like fishsticks?

Wow Marques. I don’t think I have heard the english language slaughtered like that. Seriously.. you don’t deserve to breave..hilarious.

Who in the holy hell is Dolla?

Who in the holy hell is Dolla? I mean WAS Dolla?

er I mean, WAS Dolla?

All Dolla needs is a pair of Ray-Bans and he’d look just like Humpty Hump in that photo.

There’s some really special people in this comment thread. Nikki, are you extra awesome because you use the letter Y instead of the letter I? And Marquese, that’s a very touching soliloquy, whatever it meant.

Anyone that walks around w/a gun is expecting trouble. “Can’t we all just get along!”

This murder rap is so tired.

Dolla was a straight out thug and crip member affiliated with mansfield crips. So, you see the three fingers Dolla is throwing up in the picture? That is the sign for M standing for mansfield. And he was authentic and that is why he had the recoding contract. But non the less, he was a gangster. Go over to Bossip.com and catch the video of Dolla talking about some incident and at the end some fat kid next to him says something with mansfield in it and Dolla leans back, cups his hands over his mouth and hollas something about mansfield crip or what ever and all his boys join in the chorus. Disgusting!

To Anonymous You right we don’t know the whole story but, we all know why mr Burton was in L.A why was Mr Berry. Than you say shouldn’t been talk s… That was someone son. What is something happen to Mr berry while in jail? I wonder if you would feel the same way than.

He was to young to die but he wasn’t to young to be cripin..It was self defense I know Aubrey and he don’t fuck wit nobody..he don’t walk around tryin to be some fake ass gangstar…that he knows he not. What do you get when u have a wanna be ganster Crip bully and and a innocent kid who has NEVER been in trouble for anything. Well you do the math…Aubrey isn’t the one with tear drops tatted on his face…AND we all know what that stands for…Karma really is a bitch…..

Why do people join gangs to begin with? It’s such a stupid way to throw your life away… yeah, Dolla got a record deal for being a “legit” gangster, but look where that got him. Hip-hop needs to stop glorifying music that makes this lifestyle sound like a good thing. Too many people are dying.

There is an old saying ” you live by the sword, you die by the sword”. You people blogging about this guy like he was an an innocent man. Look at that picture. The guy was relatively successful, traveled the world (being a Sean John model and all) and still chose to live that ignorant a** life. C’mon folks wake up, this is a vicious cycle with the youth today. Rap music promoting that BS “gansta” mentality for our youth to listen to. This guy has a tattoo of a tear drop on his face…. I traveled the world with USN as a young person and I know that life is more than this “gansta” BS. Wake up folks. It is sad that a life was lost, but let his death be a wake up call for so called “gansta rap”. Peace

I went through your blog, and I found it really good thanks for your advices about self defense. I agree with these advice and look forward to more such advices.

good, one more gun toting wanna be gangster is dead, now the streets are safer… why is there so much concern for a “thug” who lives a life of criminality, I hope the rest of you “thugs” take this in…

All of you haters need to STFU. You didn’t know Dolla, YOu only assume he was a Thug or Gangster…I knew him since his was a baby and there was no thug in him. He was humble and quite shy at times so if you didn’t know him STFU…all that hate you have in you will kill you one day so get ready for it if you don’t change your thought pattern…Just because he had Tats and was a rapper doenst make him a thug or gangster…it is the style now…its the kids being kids expressing themselves…the kid never shot or owened a gun…All you haters need to realize that he had a mother and sisters and the shyt you are talking affects them so just STFU if you don’t know what you are talking about….

there are a lot of comments here that show how senseless crime can take place everyday. so many people are so cruel and heartless. my heart and prayers to all of those going through or dealing with the tragic blows life deals us on a constant basis. they all deserve a prayer and a tear. even the man that took this man’s life. because of this life altering decision countless lives have been irrevicably changed. his mother has also lost her son, but she can still see and talk to him. also… why anyone would choose to spread poison on a site for fans to express their hurt on the tragic loss of life is beyond me. if you don’t like him or his music, move on. this site isn’t for you.
Roddy was a man. so much more than just what you see or hear about “DOLLA” in the media. that is such a small part of him.
someone asked about the tattoo tear… it is a reference/ tribute to the daily pain felt at the loss of his father.
someone says he’s in hell… he was very secure in his spirituality and love of/ for God. some of the more serious lyrics in songs that many havent yet heard and almost all of his tattoos attest to that fact- angel’s wings on his back, an angel kneeling and praying on his neck, a necklace with a cross, “no weapon formed against thee shall prosper”.
not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but a good kid. very young and doing what he thought was best to get by and make things happen for his family.
the words we speak have power and the way you portray yourself to be becomes what people think you are.
but don’t judge what you don’t know. especially not based on such a small part of who a person is/ was.

R.I.P DOLLA

R.I.P DOLLA ,,just fuking good rapper

yo i dont know if this accurate or not but this what aubrey berry cousin his own family wrote it might be legit yo…….

Aubrey Berry deserves what he’s about to get, the Death Penalty. Even though that’s the easy way out. As his cousin, I must say that Aubrey was a smalltime drug dealer, that’s some knowledge that I’ve gained recently. He just lost face during a strip club fight. Dolla’s entourage didn’t gang up on him, Aubrey was getting a lap dance from this one stripper, his time with the stripper was about to expire, when Dolla stepped on the scene and the stripper along with others went over to him; leaving AB unpleasant because he didn’t get his all of his time w/ the stripper. From what I’ve heard a couple of days afterwards, the whole thing started when AB gave Dolla a men mug, one of Dolla’s friend asked him did he has a problem, and Aubrey started cussing him out. So it seemed like cuzzo started the whole thing, he should’ve just let it go. But he’s known to just hold on to things, he just won’t let things slide. I can’t really believe he went this far tho. Dolla was unarmed, and even if Dolla was talking mess to him, he didn’t deserve to get killed, and his other friends shot at. NONE of his friends were armed, there’s nothing that could’ve provoked him to KILL somebody. There’s no coming back from that. He pulled a coward move, now he deserves what’s coming to him. You Reap What You Sow. Hey Aubrey, or Aunt Aundrea, if either are reading this, I’m sorry for not supporting you all, but I’m just siding with what’s right, I’m not gonna be the devil’s advocate and say “AB was provoked” or “He’s Innocent” when that is not the case. I’m just being as real as I can be, he deserves either life in prison or the death penalty. I won’t wish a final destination on anybody. That’s for GOD to judge. It DOESN’T MATTER WHETHER OR NOT IF HE WAS A MANSFIELD CRIP, GANG MEMBER, OR WHATEVER, there where NO GANG MEMBERS IN THE VICINITY. Nobody deserves to be killed that wasn’t trying to kill you in the first place. If he was acting in self-defense, then he would’ve shot him once in the leg.
