Police announced Saturday that they have identified an SUV and a suspect in the shooting death of an Oakland rapper on the Las Vegas Strip, which led to a fatal car crash involving a Maserati and taxi...(A) black Range Rover SUV was found...at an apartment complex east of the Strip and has since been impounded as evidence.
Police are looking for 26-year-old Ammar Harris, who they believed fired the shots in the incident early Thursday. Harris' arrest history in Las Vegas, which is extensive and violent, according to police, includes charges of kidnapping and pandering...

Kidnapping? Pandering? We now know that Clutch was a pimp who kept his prostitutes in different apartments -- was Harris one of his "stable hands"? Maybe this was a John Gotti-style "hostile takeover."
Cherry was involved in an argument (that) police...believe to have started in the valet parking area of the Aria Resort. The shooting happened the same night that Morocco-born rapper French Montana was playing at Aria's signature nightclub, Haze.
This May, Montana is releasing his first studio album on Maybach Records, which is owned by -- wait for it!!! -- Rick Ross! For a local up-and-comer, being seen with Montana at the show (never mind being one of opening acts) would have been a big step forward in terms of getting national attention. Maybe the argument broke out because the club knew the real deal about him and refused to let him perform. (link)

No, and I can't imagine Jay-Z or Method Man or Rakim or Kendrick Lamar or KRS-1 committing one

You say pretty concretely that the ghetto traps young people. Really? All young people?

Somehow I doubt the NRA will claim this could've been prevented by arming all rappers

When I heard about the crash, I said it was probably a rapper; I was thinking back on this news:

If he was only an "up and coming" rapper, where did he get the Maserati money?

He wasn't sufficiently successful as a rapper to afford the kind of car he was driving

The temptation at this stage will be to blame the *real* victim here: the precious gun.
