Hehe. Howie Carr says, before reading such a story:
"Try not to let this story break your faith in the Rap Community. 'Rapper [insert name] shot to death...'"

One less rapper? Oh darn, there goes my day.
If only he was in the NBA, then he would have only gotten a beating.
There was a band in the DFW area, John Nitizinger who played a song "Rap Is Crap".
My sentiments exactly.

Colorado Springs is not normally a city people associate with libs. Denver or Boulder would have been more fitting as the scene of the crime.

It sucks getting your street cred dying young. Life in the rap world is hazardous.

In other news, water found to be wet, grass green. Film at eleven.
Seriously, I feel bad for this guy, and his family. But can anyone honestly say that this is a surprise?
