ATLANTA (AP) — A shooting on Interstate 85 in suburban Atlanta has claimed the life of a rising Texas rap artist, one of three interstate shootings in the metro area in two days, authorities said Saturday.
What Nashville is for country singers Atlanta has become the city for Rap music. This was another unknown trying to break into the business. The article is misleading as the rappers death is lead off but the bulk of the story is a road rage on the perimeter which is not that uncommon. The added bonus for the Rap industry here in Atlanta is the "Gangsta Rap" which has pushed up the criminal acts inside the perimeter.
I do not go inside the perimeter after dark and rarely go during daylight hours. Decades of Democrat leadership has turned Atlanta into one of the great shithole metropolitan cities decent folks want to stay away from.
My 85 year old mother moved out of ATL to a surrounding county outside 285. She drove the wrong way in to a parking lot at a local bank close to downtown. A middle aged Black woman driving a Lexus, came the correct way in, stopped her car jumped out and started screaming at my mother. The bank guard saw this on video, came out and broke it. I hate to say it, but ATL is not safe after the police shot and kiiled that guy at Wendy's.
The city is not laid out on a grid. There are 57 streets named Peachtree. 'Lanta is hell at night. The ribs and bbq is world class. Hush puppies? Yowza. Shine and grits is a staple. BTW: it is a "musta carry" zone.
T...same here. I live in a "good" part of Gwinnett County: part of the American zone. In the last two years, I now here gunshots on Friday and Saturday nights. They come from about a half mile up the road at the "transition zone" from safe to "rock out with your Glock out" areas. Work keeps us here for one more year until returning to Texas. That is a 12 year missionary trip into the Heart of Darkness.
Reading about stuff like this is like reading about the travails of Megan Markle. Does anyone REALLY give a crap that some black guy, self identifying as a singer of nonsensical songs, was killed probably by another black guy?
I'm not a fan of hiphop but this guy is educating the youngsters without a manager or label. (And pissin' off the woke folk! If you don't like his looks, just listen to the words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l6JUNFAJ9o
Thanks for the link, Rickem. That guy actually popped up on my feed the other day (gods only know how that happened) and I skipped it immediately. But it was worth listening to. So thanks.

They never freed the slaves, they realized that they don't need the chains They gave us tiny screens, we think we're free 'cause we can't see the cage They knew that race war would be the game they need to play For people to pick teams, they use the media to feed the flame [...] Censorship's an issue 'cause they choose what they erase There's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate I think Black Lives Matter was the stupidest name When the system's screwing everyone exactly the same
I just wanna spend Thanksgiving Day with food and my family Without being accused of celebrating native casualties
Three shootings on Atlanta's interstate highways (which, contrary to Tsquared's backnanded assertion is not common; road rage, yes, shootings no) in the days leading up to the NBA All-Star game being played. Hmmm, I wonder if there's a connection.

DeleteAnd Memphis is busting it's ass to be Atlanta or Saint Louis; it can't decide which.
DeleteI'm the same as Tsquared about about the 40/240 loop.

Rap? Artist? Not in the same sentence - and you left the "C" off the front of the first word . . .

ReplyDeleteIn order to be called 'rapper' you need to be murdered first, so Congratulations!
Goes with the "life". Some life styles are more hazardous than others. Choose accordingly.
ReplyDeleteMusic is like a candy bar. If you want to enjoy it the first thing you do is get rid of the rapper.
ReplyDeleteStealing that.
DeleteI'm stealing that!

DeleteA fragment of the lyrics:
Cancel culture runs the world now, the planet went crazy
Label everything we say as homophobic or racist
If you're white, then you're privileged, guilty by association
All our childhood heroes got Me-Too'd or they're rapists
They never freed the slaves, they realized that they don't need the chains
They gave us tiny screens, we think we're free 'cause we can't see the cage
They knew that race war would be the game they need to play
For people to pick teams, they use the media to feed the flame

Censorship's an issue 'cause they choose what they erase
There's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate
I think Black Lives Matter was the stupidest name

Rickem,
DeleteThank you for the introduction to Tom MacDonald!
His work is inspired.
