Some escape artist he turned out to be.

That is some lazy, mean and cheap headline writing right there!

What the hell is wrong with the media these days?

reply

[–] TalkinPikchorBox (2250) 4 years ago

Agreed. Even for me that’s really bad taste and disrespectful to his family.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77381) 4 years ago

Yes
Whatever he may have been up to (and I have no clue) at least show some respect... the kid is dead

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56671) 4 years ago

And it's not even accurate. He didn't vanish.

Well it made me laugh out loud!

Take a ridiculous name, get a ridiculous epitath.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77381) 4 years ago

I'm not a huge rap fan and know very little about the dude but laughing at the shooting death of a 21 year old seems a bit much

He probably has kin and I'd imagine they are not laughing just now

I'm guessing it's a tabloid.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56671) 4 years ago

It's not tabloid, but they're not great journalists. They can't resist stupid covers.

a notch above

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I guess I'm the only one who laughed then.

I love a good Dad joke.

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 4 years ago

You're more charitable than me then. I just like it when rappers get treated with the contempt they deserve.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56671) 4 years ago

Apparently they said he had a gun too. There's footage of the shooting and you see a kid who was in their line of fire who quickly had to run out of the way while their mom looked on and couldn't help.

Wannabe gangsters too many of them. I have no time for them or their "music".

[–] samoanjoes (56671) 4 years ago

There's always time for Baby Got Back though.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56671) 4 years ago

Not on a newspaper cover about a man who died.

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Yeah, too soon definitely. Still, I'm removed because I've never heard of this guy and kind of desensitized to hearing about rappers being shot. Or anyone being shot in the US, really.

No offence intended. It's sad he died so young.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56671) 4 years ago

I'm not offended by your comment. This is a forum, you can find it funny. I find it offensive if it was on the front page of a paper.

You guys still get the sun in Toronto ?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56671) 4 years ago

Throughout Canada.

reply

[–] captainbucky (15252) 4 years ago

In Calgary we do but it’s harder to find

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56671) 4 years ago

I know Ottawa has one and I believe Winnipeg.

reply

[–] captainbucky (15252) 4 years ago

I used to love having the sun dropped off at my house

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

It takes a genuine sociopath to write that kind of shit. Journalism my ass.

[–] JDogNight (108) 4 years ago

Geez, that's laugh-under-my-breath funny though lol

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56671) 4 years ago

I found it kind of obvious.
