[PoloSec]

Police say one person was killed and four injured after a shooting at a party ahead of the BET Awards in Los Angeles.

[Eddie01]

only one?

[Moonman62]

I was going to say I’m surprised that this gets reported at all, then I see it’s British.

[Mears]

Not even newsworthy these days-—almost routine.

Pathetic.

[Ann Archy]

God bites man story.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

This happens every year at the Food Network and HGTV awards too.

Nothing to see, move along.

Lyrics to #1 Rap Song 6/29/2014

“Fancy”
(feat. Charli XCX)

[Verse 1: Iggy Azalea]
First thing’s first, I’m the realest (realest)
Drop this and let the whole world feel it (let them feel it)
And I’m still in the Murda Bizness
I could hold you down, like I’m givin’ lessons in physics (right, right)
You should want a bad bitch like this (huh?)
Drop it low and pick it up just like this (yeah)
Cup of Ace, cup of Goose, cup of Cris
High heels, somethin’ worth a half a ticket on my wrist (on my wrist)
Takin’ all the liquor straight, never chase that (never)
Rooftop like we bringin’ ‘88 back (what?)
Bring the hooks in, where the bass at?
Champagne spillin’, you should taste that

[Hook: Charli XCX]
I’m so fancy
You already know
I’m in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I’m so fancy
Can’t you taste this gold?
Remember my name
‘Bout to blow

[Verse 2: Iggy Azalea]
I said, “Baby, I do this, I thought that you knew this.”
Can’t stand no haters and honest, the truth is
And my flow retarded, each beat did depart it
Swagger on stupid, I can’t shop in no department
To get my money on time, if they not money, decline
And swear I meant that there so much that they give that line a rewind
So get my money on time, if they not money, decline
I just can’t worry ‘bout no haters, gotta stay on my grind
Now tell me, who that, who that? That do that, do that?
Put that paper over all, I thought you knew that, knew that
I be the I-G-G-Y, put my name in bold
I been working, I’m up in here with some change to throw

[Hook: Charli XCX]
I’m so fancy
You already know
I’m in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I’m so fancy
Can’t you taste this gold?
Remember my name
‘Bout to blow

[Bridge: Charli XCX]
Trash the hotel
Let’s get drunk on the mini bar
Make the phone call
Feels so good getting what I want
Yeah, keep on turning it up
Chandelier swinging, we don’t give a fuck
Film star, yeah I’m deluxe
Classic, expensive, you don’t get to touch
Ow...

[Verse 3: Iggy Azalea]
Still stunned, how you love that?
Got the whole world asking how I does that
Hot girl, hands off, don’t touch that
Look at it I bet you wishing you could clutch that
It’s just the way you like it, huh?
You so good, he’s just wishing he could bite it, huh?
Never turn down money,
Slaying these hoes, gold trigger on the gun like

[Hook: Charli XCX]
I’m so fancy
You already know
I’m in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I’m so fancy
Can’t you taste this gold?
Remember my name
‘Bout to blow

[Outro:]
Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
That do that, do that, I-I-G-G-Y
Who that, who that, I-I-I-G-G-Y
Blow

Who-who-who-who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
That do that, do that, I-I-G-G-Y
Who that, who that, I-I-I-G-G-Y
Blow

[Tennessee Nana]

hmmmmmmmmm

I guess that should be “cultural success”

[Caipirabob]

A BET gathering without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair.

[Gamecock]

That is why it is news.

[livius]

I guess shootings are BE?

Just once, I’d like to hear the honchos at BET come out and disclaim the rap culture - but since their fortunes are based on it, I guess it’s going to be a long wait.

[tumblindice]

Someone got disrespected and a shot rang out.
Clue: MC Shiznat with a Glock 19 from an Escalade?

[miss marmelstein]

There’s always a massacre when Chopped wins...

[Eddie01]

“That is why it is news.”

oops, my bad. lol

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Only event where you don’t know if you’re watching a red carpet or perp walk.

[Organic Panic]

Whitey’s fault.
