Well, I guess that's better than driving all the way to Chicago to get shot.

Well let’s see....Billy Joe Shaver shot someone, and so did Johnny Paycheck. No death in either case, though. And Dr. John threatened to shoot Lloyd Price, thankfully that didn’t happen.

That’s kind of like dying of natural causes for a rapper.

FR article history for Young Dolph...(he’s been shot before)

https://freerepublic.com/tag/youngdolph/index

[2019] Rapper Young Dolph’s car was broken into while he ate at a metro Atlanta Cracker Barrel last week, and thieves made off with roughly $500,000 of jewelry and other belongings. The Memphis artist, born Adolph Thornton, told police the thieves smashed the window of his custom camouflage Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV in the restaurant’s parking lot on Wednesday.

They made off with a Richard Mille watch worth $230,000, a Patek Phillipe watch costing approximately $85,000 and two diamond chains worth a respective $57,000 and $27,000. Police told WSB-TV that the case was “unusual in a number of ways,” because surveillance footage shows the thieves approaching Thornton’s car...

[2017] Rapper Young Dolph was shot several times Tuesday next to the Loews Hotel in Hollywood, just steps away from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a bustling tourist district. The shooting occurred about 1:15 p.m. between a shoe store and the hotel on Highland Avenue, just north of Hollywood Boulevard.

Dolph, 32, whose real name is Adolph Thornton Jr., was in critical condition when rushed to a hospital. He is now in stable condition, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Not good for your street cred legacy to go out in a cookie shop buying cookies.

It is if you're in a Lamborghini.

"Young Dolph was there just a week ago, spreading love and promoting the businesses."

How is the drive-by not 'spreading love' too? Surely the rival crappers who shot Duhlph have had 'spreading love' articles written about them too, by no less than Fox13! How dare Fox13 discriminate against them! Racism! Spread the 'love'!
