Don't you know that in today's society a thug is worth at least 2 taxi drivers and 10 innocent passengers.

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

Because they are the stupidest of the bunch? Darwin, Natural Selection, etc.

>>>>Predawn jogger Eric Lackey was on his way back to the New York-New York hotel when he snapped a cellphone photo of the blazing scene moments after the crash. Black smoke billowed from the flaming taxi, amid popping sounds from the fire.<<<

Since this violent crime occured near the replica of Bloomberg’s NYC, the tourist probably thought it was part of the show.

An apiring rapper and alleged pimp (or was it aspiring pimp and alleged rapper?) getting murdered, who would ever think such a thing could happen?

If somebody offered to me a “free” trip to Las Vegas I would turn it down. There are too many dirt bags from Oakland and Los Angeles there.

“Aspiring Rapper” is the PC way of saying “unemployed ghetto street thug with an arrest record.”

There is a highly paid rapper position open now (comes with a company provided Maserati.) I’ll post more as soon as I find out where you can apply.

I am amused by that term “aspiring rapper”.

He’s learning that words can rhyme...but he doesn’t know enough words yet. IQ presently kindergarten level.

As trailer homes are to twisters, so go rappers to speeding bullets.

Most likely.

I saw a episode of Cops on the strip just a day or two ago.
Someone rented one, had a flat tire. The Rental Comp. told them to leave it where it was with the key under the floor mat. Cops were about to haul it when the company showed up to get it. Sat on the strip Blvd. for a few hours like that.
They said 2k a day to rent it.

So someone popped a Cherry in a pimpmobile? Happens all the time.

Otherwise, yes, I do feel very, very sorry for those poor folks in the taxi.

Clutch, whose real name was Kenneth Cherry Jr., was 27 years old.

The LEGENDARY Kenny Clutch. He's just joined the 27 club.

Best career move he could make.

If Obama had a son, he’d be an aspiring rapper.

HTH could he afford to drive a Maserati?

When I heard the news I immediately thought the person in the Maserati must be wealthy and famous.
