Starting to get a little suspicious about T.I.'s concerts. He was here in Cincinnati once and the same thing happened. Either someone is following him trying to start shit, or this shit is set up.

I doubt this had anything to do with TI.

I've never seen so many people get so annoyed at a joke before.

Well I probably have honestly. But still.

An observation many have made in GAF threads related to hip hop artists and hip hop news is for a handful of posters to ask "who" the person is or reference another celebrity/person with the same name, despite the OP usually having enough information and context clues to figure out who the person is, in addition to most of us having search engines either built into our phones or just a right click away. Since these types of questions or jokes are rarely seen in threads involving other forms of entertainment, these comments and jokes start to stick out after a while.

Yeah I get that. It's annoying, for sure. But man, that joke was so awful it didn't even need acknowledgment.

The police commisioner went for the most borderline stereotypical old white guy reason when asked why the shooting happened.
The crazy world of the so-called rap artists who are basically thugs that are basically celebrating the violence that they’ve lived all their lives — unfortunately, that violence oftentimes manifests itself during their performances, and that’s exactly what happened last evening…

This world has not reformed. It’s unfortunate, the backgrounds that a lot of these young people that are significant artists in that world, if you will… they continue hanging out with the same people they hung out with when they came out of that world of desperation, poverty, and crime…

The music unfortunately oftentimes celebrates violence, celebrates degradation of women, celebrates the drug culture. And it’s unfortunate that, as they get fame and fortune, that some of them are just not able to get out of the life, if you will.

Hey OP, if they don't know who to is I doubt a reference to blurred lines would help. You have to hit with something familiar like the black guy in antman.

To me it seems like Troy Ave was the target. Just happened to be at a T.I. concert. Troy was on XM a couple of months ago talking wreckless about how he still does dirt along with rapping and he ain't scared of anyone. He was basically daring anyone to come at him. Not saying it was related, but it seemed that he was in no hurry to live the "good life".

I feel bad for his friends/innocent bystanders.

I would go even more obscure like saying "the dude who married the weird looking one from Xscape."

NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton on Shooting at T.I. Concert: Rappers Are 'Basically Thugs'

The NYPD's top cop called rap artists "basically thugs" a day after a shooting at a hip-hop concert left one person dead and three others injured.

In an interview Thursday with WCBS radio, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton cited "the crazy world of these so-called rap artists who are basically thugs that basically celebrate violence they did all their lives."

He added, "Unfortunately, that violence often times manifests itself during their performances."

You and I both know, Texas Instrument wouldn't be doing a show. If you didn't know who TI was, a 3 second google search would show it.

Texas Instruments has done many shows.

Troy Average is fucking jackass. From slandering Kendrick and others as weirdo rappera, to his Major without a Deal album flopping something serious, to laughing at people's dead family members, to talking down on Joey Bada$$' friend who committed suicide, and now this clusterfuck in which he allegedly shot his friend. I say this respectfully, fuck Troy Average.

Based on how the people were cowering in fear before Troy walks in somebody had already started shooting. I'm willing the giving Troy the benefit of the doubt in shooting his friend but man...he's just letting off a round not giving a single fuck. If somebody shot back those people scared to death sitting at the counter could have been hit. Terrible situation all around.

Irving Plaza? I've gone to a lot of shows there. What a terrible situation. This kind of shit has no place anywhere, let alone at a show.

The only thing I know about Troy Ave is that I heard his album sold only 30 physical copies and people were clowning him. Still why the hell would he just do that.

That's exactly what that C-Murda did, that jackass is still in jail. Sad someone died though but I'm glad T.I had nothing to do with this.

I didn't screenshot them, but I read a bunch of tweets saying that Troy Ave instigated the whole thing earlier in the night.

This news pisses me off. I love Irving Plaza and this may make some venues turn down rap acts. What's the origin of the Troy Ave/Maino beef?

Troy Ave to the garbage. How can you be dumb enough to fire off in a club in Union Square. The fact that people died makes the situation all the worse.

Popular podcaster Taxstone was locked up over this

assignment-irving.jpg


Hip-hop personality Taxstone was arrested Monday in connection with last May’s fatal shooting at a T.I. concert in Irving Plaza — after cops say they found his DNA on the murder weapon.

The shooting in the third-floor green room at the East Village concert venue left three people wounded, including rapper Troy Ave, who was publicly feuding with Taxstone. Troy Ave’s bodyguard Ronald McPhatter was killed.

Taxstone, 31, whose real name is Daryl Campbell, now faces federal weapon possession charges.

He is slated to appear in federal court Tuesday.
