Cool local news story, brah.

[sleazy_j]

so word is shit popped off in VIP once Troy Ave's dudes showed up. lemme find out troy's dudes busted shots and hit troy and his girl and his homie in the process.

[drizzle]

the rumor is that his entourage was indeed responsible, but hard to say if that's what really happened or twitter just really loves slandering Troy Ave

The 'at least he finally got a hit' jokes were pretty brutal this morning

more along the same lines, the dead guy's mom is pretty pretty negative about Troy

An up and coming rapper from Brooklyn with a beef was charged Thursday with opening fire backstage at Irving Plaza during a T.I. concert, killing one and wounding two others — and himself, police sources said.

Troy Ave, of Crown Heights, was charged with reckless endangerment and illegal weapons possession, according to sources.

Troy, who was to perform at the show, had a beef with Maino, who had just left the stage when at least five shots rang out, sources said.

“There is clear video, very graphic video. He walks right out, women all around, and starts shooting his gun,” a source said.

"It's an ongoing rap group rivalry, him and Maino."

Police said they were awaiting the result of ballistics tests before charging Troy Ave with murder.

It was unclear why Troy Ave allegedly gunned down Ronald “Edgar” McPhatter, who was said to be close to the rapper.

the ultimate episode of 'When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong'

wack is outta control.

[seagrams hotsauce]

lmao at this not being an employee topic. who fucking cares? has anyone besides blastmaster actually listened to a troy ave record in the last three years?

[seagrams hotsauce]

sorry forgot drizzle actually lives in NY so this is somehow remotely relevant

[seagrams hotsauce]

let's talk about bobby shmurda's bail money again since we're talking about relevant topics. or maybe the yayo dance

[Mindbender Futurama]

lmao at this not being an employee topic. who fucking cares? has anyone besides blastmaster actually listened to a troy ave record in the last three years?

bruh, we cool and all but stop stop stop

a person was killed.
three were shot.
this concert may not matter to you or me, but those people will never forget this day, and those people are regular hip hop folks just like us.

also T.I. was there, Maino was there as well as Troy Ave. and a bunch of other people.

I don't listen to any of those people regularly (except for TI, who'se song with Common off 'King' I was bumping just yesterday) but even if not: ANY high profile shooting in hip hop still matters and still affects the culture.

One of these days, something like this is going to happen and then someone in the City of NY is gonna go "no more rap concerts" and there's gonna be people who try very hard to make that a reality, and this kind of shit will be pretty solid evidence

Troy Ave blasting into a crowd is so fucking sad. look at dude just throw his life away over some macho bullshit beef

let's take it back to 88 with this one: "I never ever ran from the Ku Klux Klan/ and I shouldn't have to run from a Black man, cause that's: SELF DESTRUCTION/ WE'RE HEADED FOR SELF DESTRUCTION"

[Employee]

It's unfortunate, but some folks, like Seagram's Hot Man Sauces, don't care about black lives. And, more disgustingly, mock situations in which blacks are the victims of crimes.

[Employee]

sorry forgot drizzle actually lives in NY so this is somehow remotely relevant

The bitch comes back to slurp upon the ring of Gloss's favorite pet.

[Mindbender Futurama]

wonder what Troy Ave is gonna say.

Troy Ave Formally Charged With Attempted Murder in Irving Plaza Shooting

The rapper Troy Ave was formally charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday evening in connection with a fatal shooting last week during a concert at Irving Plaza.

Appearing in court in a wheelchair, Troy Ave, 33, whose real name is Roland Collins, asked the judge for $50,000 bail through his lawyers, who stressed that he had no criminal record. But Judge Ushir Pandit-Durant heeded a prosecutor’s recommendation and ordered him held without bail until trial.

His lawyers, Scott E. Leemon and John Stella, said Mr. Collins was not responsible for the gunfire that erupted at 10:15 p.m. on Wednesday in a backstage green room above the club’s stage just before the rapper T.I. was to perform.

One of Mr. Collins’s bodyguards, Ronald McPhatter, was killed in the shooting. Three people were wounded, including Mr. Collins, who was shot in the leg.

“He’s the real victim here,” Mr. Leemon said in court. “McPhatter died a hero trying to protect Mr. Collins. He was not shot by Mr. Collins.” Mr. Leemon also told the court that scientific evidence would show that Mr. Collins did not shoot himself.

The criminal complaint against Mr. Collins shed little light on what happened backstage. Detective John Santiago, who swore out the complaint, charged Mr. Collins with attempted murder entirely on the strength of a security camera video that showed a man the police identified as Mr. Collins firing a weapon.

An eight-second clip of that video was released on Thursday. It shows Mr. Collins bursting through the door of a V.I.P. room on the second floor of the theater onto a balcony. Limping, he scans the room, raises a gun and fires a shot, the muzzle flashing. The complaint said the video showed that Mr. Collins fired in “the direction of other individuals.”

The police said a fistfight had broken out in one of the V.I.P. rooms a few minutes earlier, just before someone opened fire. A video from inside the room, posted by TMZ, shows a group of men trying to break up a fight. Then three shots ring out.
