"I'll do you with my brother's shotgun, bitch"
Saint Paul hipped me to this blog "Complicated Fun" which features an entertaining account of rapper Lil' Flip's recent show at the Quest nightclub in downtown Minneapolis where two people were shot.
The writer of this account, Peter Sholtes makes the important correction that:
Contrary to Sunday's WCCO report, which was picked up by MTV, the double-shooting did not take place while Lil' Flip was performing, and it didn't take place inside the club. (The Quest has metal detectors.)
Not a terribly important detail there Peter, but so noted.
He does go on to say that there were various melees breaking out all over in the club while Lil was performing:
But a number of indoor scuffles preceded the shooting. Flip stopped his Pac-Man-sampling hit "Game Over" mid-song to quell the fight that gashed the wobbly man's head. He tried to follow with "Turn It Up," but it was no use. "F@*% it," he said, cutting the music short at the second chorus.
Flip's DJ turned to the crowd, disgusted. "That s*&%@ is 1980s," he said. "N$#^^*, we in the 2000s. Nobody's fighting in the clubs no more. Come on, Minneapolis!"
That must be the first time I've ever heard someone say that violence should be stopped because it's no longer fashionable. I think this message needs to be spread a little wider to the rap community: "What is that a beat-down? Hah, that is SOO 1996!"
So all in all just another example of the wonderful culture that us lame, non-urban living types miss out on. I'm not sure if any of the various promoters of the joy of urban life actually attended this important cultural event, but I'm sure they were there in spirit.
Who would want to miss out on a scene like this:
A pool of blood gathers on the floor. A woman cradles a man's head, weeping. Another woman threatens another man in front of the coat-check line. "I'll do you with my brother's shotgun, bitch," she yells. "Shotgun, bitch!" she taunts, over and over. "Shotgun, bitch!"
Complicated fun indeed.
