Rappers tend to have short lives. Except for Coolio.

Yeah, Coolio was a true Methusalem - died at 59.

Regards,

Your grammar lesson reminds me of the old joke where the gentleman with ED finally found a witch doctor that could cure it.

“Drink this herbal tea each day, and then when the moment comes you say 1,2,3 and you will have satisfaction as long as you like. Then say 1,2,3,4 to end it - and you will need to wait 24 hours between events.

The following day he drinks his tea, and tells his wife that he has found the cure, so get ready for a night of romance.

He climbs under the covers and says 1,2,3.

His wife says “What’s the 1,2,3 for?”

And all he was left with was a dangling participle.

Indeed. Seems imprudent to “f with” the major LA gangs.

Remember back in the day when Robert Plant of Zep did a drive-by on Deep Purple, seriously wounding half the band? How about when Neil Young popped Elton John with a “9” for “disrespecting” him? How about the time when the lads in Jethro Tull crashed a party attended by Pink Floyd members and beat the crap out of them with flutes because Roger Waters stole one of their “bitches?”

“”...Half Ounce is survived by two brothers, Baggie and Kilo, and a sister, Street Value.””

And for some reason all of his cousins are named Eight Ball. It is rumored that they are the life of the party, and get little sleep.

Standard 45 caliber slug = 230 grains (14.9 grams).

In Europe they call him 14 Grams.

Rappers like to pump up the "volume", so he might be known as "15 Milliliters" in Europe. ;-)

14.9 grams = 0.526 ounces so apparently this dumbass was killed with his own bodyweight.

Half Ounce had three children
Half Ounce, whose real name is Latauriisha O’Brien, was a father of three children, a nine-month-old son, a two-year-old son, and an eight-year-old daughter. The rapper’s family told NBC4 that he and his wife were expecting their fourth child, who is due in March.

According to ABC7, the Inglewood native was not only a rising singer, but also worked for UPS.

4 children and worked for UPS. Rapping didn’t pay The Bills

cRap is dead. At least for this dead dude. Sometimes I go to YouTube to see what a rapper-in-the-news has produced. It is always gawd awful rubbish. I get why blacks like rap. Why would any white person? It’s a sickness.

Since he was shot, we need to convert his name from ounces to grains.

1/2 ounce = 218.75 grains

The British Bureau of Standards and Measurements flew their flag at half-staff today. All measurements across Britain will be a half-ounce short in remembrance.

Was he shot by pennyweight or hogshead?
Drug weight reference, half ounce of weed,etc.
So, his shooter was more likely Full Key or Eight Ball....

A columnist said when the rapper 50 Cent was being yelled at by his estranged girlfriend “she sat down her half dollar and told him off.”

I always liked that line.

There is a book by Lynne Truss called Eats, Shoots and Leaves. Cover shows a Panda working to add the comma after eats.
