I think it's about time the job title of "rapper" knocks "New York City cab driver" off the top of the list of most dangerous occupations in America.

...was fatally shot while walking with his toddler son outside his recording studio.

How did the killer see him?

He was often seen hanging out near the recording studio, flashing gold teeth and wads of money, and driving around town in a Ford Expedition with his face and name painted on the side.

Whoa, thought I was reading my autobiography for a second there.

I always wondered about this:

Rappers/Hip Hoppers and Country Music have a lot of people who own guns.

Yet, Country fans and artists arent killing each other.

I dont see Toby Keith trying to gun down Tim McGraw ("...SOB knocked me out of #1".... LOL).....I dont see Kenny Chesney emptying his Uzi on Billy Ray Cyrus.....it just doesnt happen in country

Yet....these Hip Hoppers are killing each other left and right.

I guess add another name to the Rapper Body Count

Camoflauge's background formed the perfect "gangsta rap" resume. He grew up in Savannah's public housing projects, had a record of arrests on drug possession charges and suffered minor injuries in a shooting last year. He also spent three months in jail in 2000 charged with murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Kenneth Capers.

"He's the first person from Savannah to make it big. Not MTV big, but big for Savannah," said 16-year-old fan Sierra McCoy, who lives in one of the housing projects where Camoflauge grew up and considers the rapper an inspiration.

Wow. This is so pathetic I can't even come up with a smart-ass comment...

Many considered the rapper a role model despite his violent, profanity-laced lyrics and brushes with the law.

And what would be wrong with that sentence?

The rapper Camoflauge,... was fatally shot while walking with his toddler son outside his recording studio.

I won't be so tasteless as to ask the question if this toddler's mother and Camoflauge were married.

I fear I know the answer.

These rapper types shooting each other up is getting a bit out of control. There's got to be something to it that is not evident here...

I never recall Billy Joel trying to off Elton John, or Blue Oyster Cult going after Boston in the 70's.....

Many considered the rapper a role model despite his violent, profanity-laced lyrics and brushes with the law. Savannah high schools would invite Camoflauge to host pep rallies. In 2001, he was invited to appear at a Father's Day celebration at Savannah's Daffin Park.

A time for silence; the world has lost a great person ...

Someone out of state had to have killed him because anyone in Georgia knows about the concealed gun laws on the books in the state Georgia. Killing someone in public is close to suicide in Georgia because people WILL usually return fire.
