MAN SHOT IN RAP BATTLE!
If this isn’t a sign the world is coming to an end, nothing is. Emcees can’t even battle without getting into a gun battle? Afrika Bambaataa has to be pissed! This takes “styin’ on ’em” to a whole new level.
Detroiter killed in rap battle
George Hunter / The Detroit News
DETROIT — Police are looking for a Westland man who killed a rapper this week after taking offense to something said during a rap contest.
The incident happened Monday in a home located in the 180000 block of Bradford on the city’s east side. Police say there was a rap battle, in which participants come up with insulting rhymes aimed at their competitors.
Police say 28-year-old Antoine Tramble became angry at something a 27-year-old rapper said, so he left the home and then returned with a gun. Tramble opened fire, killing the man, police said. The victim’s name has not been released.
Tramble then fled the home and escaped in a blue conversion van, investigators said.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact Detroit Police Homicide at (313) 596-2260; or the anonymous Crime Stoppers hot line at (800) SPEAK-UP.

Can the black community come together and regain the UNITY we used to have in common??? Can we stop the senseless killings?? Can we set the examples for OUR CHILDREN showing them that we don’t have to solve anything in a violent matter??? Just a quick F.Y.I. “WE (THE BLACK COMMUNITY) ARE MAKING THE KKK, ARYAN NATION AND ALL OTHER ANTI-BLACK GROUPS SO HAPPY BY KILLING ONE ANOTHER!!!!” Especially the one hitter quitter, (DOME CALLS) WE GOT ALL THESE SUPPOSEDLY ROUGH AND TOUGH THUGS, WELL IF YOU ARE ROUGH AND TOUGH, PUT THE GUNS DOWN AND SEE IF YOU’RE SCRAP GAME IS UP TO PAR!!!!!!!!! WHAT’S THE MATTER YOU SCARED TO CATCH AN “EYE JAMMY” TAKE THESE GUNS OFF OF THESE YOUNG PUNKS AND SEE IF THEY’LL SURVIVE THE REALITY OF LIFE, THAT THEY’RE NOT AS TOUGH WITHOUT THE GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLLA, IF YA HEAR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the honourable words of Jeru the Damaja:
“LEAVE YOUR NINES AT HOME AND BRING YOUR SKILLS TO THE BATTLE”
Preach!
OH YEAH!! ARE WE REALLY THIS ANGRY TO KILL ANOTHER BROTHER JUST BECAUSE OF A RAP BATTLE??? IS THIS JUSTIFIABLE??? BECAUSE SOMEONE “SHINED” ON YOU AND HERE YOU WERE WILLING TO ENTER THE BATTLE?? THE PETTY MINDS OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY ARE STARTING TO COME OUT THE WOODWORK. MOST OF US ARE SELFISH ANYWAY!! WHY IS IT THAT MOST OF US WHO HAVE KIDS DON’T STICK AROUND TO SHOW THEM THE BETTER WAY!! MEANING, WITH ALL THESE THUGS, GANGSTERS AND DRUG DEALERS, HOW COME WE DON’T MAKE OUR KIDS LIFE BETTER BY BEING THERE TO DO HOMEWORK WITH THEM, STICKING AROUND TO SEE THEM MATURE INTO YOUNG ADULTS. WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE SO MANY “SINGLE PARENT HOMES??” WHY IS IT THAT MOST OF THE NEW GENERATION IS SO ANGRY AND WANT TO KILL FOR REALLY NO REASON, OR BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST PLAIN MAD!!!! WHEN GOD COMES FOR US LETS SEE WHO GOT THE EXCUSES THEN!!!
I feel safer in compton
Just when you thought it was safe to enter a freestyle battle, this happens. Why is it that everything violent in the black community has to be associated with Hip-Hop? The beef game in Hip-Hop has taken lives to the point where it’s expected now. At first Biggie and Pac were our examples as to how far rap beef should not go, now it’s the level in which those who want to be thug MCs seek to meet or exceed. Dont get me twisted, I LOVE HIPHOP!!! Its just when you have cats like 50 saying, “this is my experience. This is how I live”. Dawg you live in a mansion now, its time to grow the hell up. All of us. ITS TIME TO GROW THE HELL UP. That young man should not have lost his life over no freestyle battle. I hope and pray they catch the fool who did it.
DAM I WONDER WHA DUDE SAID

The Dumbest shit I eva Heard in my life… I’m an aspiring rapper myself… Killin a nigga win or lose is the last thing thas should be on anybodys mind. I’m registered to carry my pistol… Maybe I should keep it handy in case I have to battle!!!
He’s a dumb muthafucka you gone kill dude because he was fucking you up in the battle of because he said something you didnt like well if you cant take insults during a battle then dont battle he should have joined a cooking class maybe that would ahave been more his speed. Now this dummy is on the run over a rap battle he’ll have alot of time to think about what he did. DUMB ASS USE YOUR BRAIN!

GOD I PRAY FOR THE WORLD
After reading this horrible story, I feel compelled to share a flow I saved a while back (some of you might have seen it already): http://www.flixgadget.com/video32385.aspx
…not sure if it’s off the nod, but it’s deep
Yet another nigga killed on the street of Detroit. I’m from the D westside brightmo, and our city is filled wit goons and goon girls. However I can’t respect a nigga killing someone over a rhyme, damn what happened to freedom of speech? Truthfully I feel for that troubled young nigga because you have to be very insecure, to let a man’s raps make you feel so bad about yourself to where you wanna kill them. I rap myself and love the art form but niggas out here are ruining it trying to be the next 50 or Game. I wish everybody in my city would put the guns down and help lift the city up, cause this is why Detroit is feared as a whole. R.I.P To the young man that was klilled.
huey, i’m pretty sure he wasn’t going off the nod. solid though.
Detroit needs real jobs for these 9 mile cats.
I don’t think this news is as strange as one might think — it is not necessarily a sign of the end of the world. Ignorance like this has been going on for a long time – we just highlight a few stories and get upset as if its all new.
Anyone paying attention to the retrials of the Liberty City Six (now seven).
…and of course the dude is not going of the nod Huey. It’s just a poem — the video starts with the quote “What are you fighting for?” — you don’t title a freestyle.
People are way to sensitive nowadays.
Thats kind of stuff that really ruins the spirit/fun/hip hop of rap battles. what a shame
