driving his Maserati on the Las Vegas Strip was an aspiring rapper
If he was just "aspiring", HTH could he afford to drive a Maserati?

Why is this story getting so much air time, what about the innocent taxi driver and passenger that died due to this crime?

Supposedly the taxi exploded because it was fueled with propane! Al Gore strikes again.

Sad because he was going back to school, taking care of his kids, good to his momma, going to church, hanging out with a bad crowd, made a mistake, rough childhood, under the influence of bad friends, off his meds, biploar, stricken with elm blight, freezer burn, etc.

So we have two cars involved in a rolling shoot and neither had plates on them.
They came out of a valet parking lot. Somebody had a camera on them and a
DeRanged Rover is a somewhat rare car...so they should have a short list and know who the owner is shortly.

I am amused by that term “aspiring rapper”. Not really talented enough [not much talent required anyway] to be one, just a wannabe. Pathetic.

“Supposedly the taxi exploded because it was fueled with propane! Al Gore strikes again.”

This being a Vegas taxi, the meter probably survived and is still running up the fare.

Why is it that the aspiring rappers seem to have a higher mortality rate than the non-aspiring rappers?
