It was far more interesting when rappers were getting shot as part of epic beefs. Or when you've ever heard of them.
Former Cash Money Records artist - which is not the most regal start to a eulogy, Renetta "Magnolia Shorty" Lowe, was thoroughly shot and killed in her native New Orleans neighborhood (described my various media as housing projects). And I say that without hyperbole, as she was shot 26 times. Also murdered while sitting in the car with her was Jerome "Jerome Hampton" Hampton. Police say barrage of gunfire came from several armed perpetrators driving by.
Following "wild speculation on Twitter", Q93.3 FM's DJ Wild Wayne broke the story. Twitter and Q93.3 - the bastions of information and rap current events, no? "If y'all haven't heard, Magnolia Shorty was killed today," Wild Wayne said. "I'm just astonished. I need to get my head together for a minute." If only the Underground Railroad and Gossip Train were still operational, then y'all would have heard! Fortunately, there was a commercial for South Bend Ford queued up and ready to play, and Wild Wayne was able to get his head together to play 40 minutes of straight up phat jamz!
Magnolia Shorty, who was given her name by the late Magnolia Slim (which must be important somehow if they mentioned it in the story I read), was called the "Queen of Bounce", so naturally her debut Monkey On Tha D$ck is considered a bounce classic. Of course, you're asking yourself if you've already heard some "bounce", but if you've heard of rappers Juvenile and Lil' Wayne, then you're in the know. Other completely unknown acts from the scene include 5th Ward Weebie, Sissy Nobby, Joe Wit Da Dreads, Nicky B., Ricky B. (no relation), and Big Nigglet.
There's a whole list of equally ridiculous and never-heard-of names here. So to recap, some Z-list rapper got annihilated, and I'm only posting it because her name reminds me of the Wanda Sykes character from Pootie Tang (more swagger than that gif here).
