Just a thought, but maybe they could skip the live ammunition in their next video?

At least eight people, including a 1-year-old boy, were shot Monday night during what police said was a videotaping of a rap music video.
The child was reported in critical condition after undergoing surgery at Children's Hospital Oakland for a bullet wound to the head. An adult woman was also in critical condition with unspecified injuries, according to Oakland Police Department spokeswoman Johnna Watson. Police said the other victims were in stable condition.
Police said an Oakland rapper who goes by the name of Kafani was at the scene of the shooting, which happened at 6:08 p.m. in the 700 block of Willow Street, in the parking lot of a liquor store where dozens of people had gathered.
Watson said that at some point an argument erupted and bullets started flying. A van belonging to the rapper was riddled with gunshots, and at least 50 shell casings littered the parking lot. Watson said there was more than one shooter.

Lil Wayne is featured on "The Motto," but in a Twitter post hours before the shooting, he said he was leaving for Fiji and Australia on tour.
At Highland Hospital late Monday the mood was tense around the emergency room lobby, where a handful of family and friends had gathered awaiting news on the condition of several victims. No one wanted to speak with a reporter.
Police were looking for an older, dark-colored Buick with three teens and a man in his 30s in it. The car reportedly fled west on Seventh Street to the freeway after the shooting.

Jus sum soljah’s doin tha streets.
Hope they look at this Kawani guy for possibly being involved on purpose.
Nothing like a big shootout at your rap video to bump your street cred and help with sales.
Just a thought, but maybe they could skip the live ammunition in their next video?
My guess is that they were either Dutch or Swedes..
Well................... was the video any good?
Rap is not beneficial to anyone’s mental health.
“Police were looking for an older, dark-colored Buick with three teens and a man in his 30s in it.”
The is “public-safety-be-damned-for-PC” journalism.
I’ll be the first...Prayers for the innocent one year old...he did nothing to endure violence at such a young age..
Watch the movie “Fresh” for a good depiction of life on the streets.
What about the people? Did they flee too?
Rap music and violence? Together? You’re kidding, right?
turd world celebrating illiteracy ebonical values
Don’t be judgmental, celebrate diversity, etc. /sarcasm
Its very realistic.
Rap trivializes your mind.
C-rap music is detrimental to your health and well being. Not to mention the fact that a simpleton could produce it with about 1 minute of practice.
Cows in Berkeley?
Moooooo!
