Because It's Only Right And Fair, Here's "My Shit Bang" By "Kash Da Kid," Who Apparently Sings For The Other Side In Dangerous Musical Controversy Over Death Of Tyrone "Ty Crack" Washington...


YouTube embed, blog post by John Hoff

This blog has reported, extensively, a controversy over music videos by rapper Mental Mid ("Kobe Diss" and "No Competition") which have (it is quite fair to say) given severe offense to friends and allies of slain gang leader Tyrone "Ty Crack" Washington and put Minneapolis police on a state of alert which caused the cancellation of a much-anticipated concert by "Young Dro."

JNS blog has urged both sides to NOT kill each other and instead to continue making music airing their grievances. I have also been on the record stating I'll give public prominence to the music of both sides in the controversy, if that music is brought to my attention...



Of course, trying to understand the "sides" to this murderous controversy ("Taliban" street gang allied with "YNT" versus "19 Dipset," that much I do grasp) is not easy.

Some players in the controversy have three names...

A street name. A Facebook name. And a legal name.

And then there are gang names. And coded words and phrases which allude to gang names and street names and threats and/or criminal actions actual or alleged. In the midst of this dangerous urban madness, music is being produced which smashes the line between art and evidence, like the Dada art movement smashed the line between art and ordinary everyday function. (After saying "Dada art movement" it is of course necessary to point out Dada was just as much an anti-movement, and it's almost impossible to explain Dada; one must be like the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and merely POINT by way of explanation)  

I am TOLD by somebody whose opinion I am inclined to trust (on this topic but god knows if there's any trust with many other topics) this particular music video, above, is from somebody who is on the opposite side of the musical dispute swirling around the death of Tyrone "Ty Crack" Washington.

Also, AGAIN TO BE TOTALLY FAIR, it is important to point out the death of Washington may have been revenge for the death of a rival gang member. But which one? THAT is not entirely clear to me, but it's important to make clear Washington wasn't killed without some kind of CONTEXT and PRELUDE.

The hottest thread in the history of this blog started out just like this one; asking aloud, "Does this video contain important clues or information about the warring sides?"

If this is not the best music video to represent the other side (am I supposed to perform some kind of hand gesture thingy when I say "represent?" Or is it okay to do it without? I mean, like I KNOW this sort of thing, WTF) then kindly bring better and more representative videos to my attention and I will air those, fairly and squarely as part of commentary on "matter(s) of public concern."

I am also interested, down the line, in doing my kind-of, sort-of reviews of these music videos after they've had some play and discussion.

Hey.

God knows Mental Mid likes my reviews. Check out what he posted on his Facebook.


And mind you...

That's currently his PROFILE PICUTURE!

Time for Johnny to release his own rap video. He got a flow like Jim McMahon in the Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle (1985). http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NxIRJp14_cM

From Dictionary.com "Music: an art form consisting of sequences of sounds in time, esp tones of definite pitch organized melodically, harmonically, rhythmically and according to tone colour./any sequence of sounds perceived as pleasing or harmonious." Rap is not music.Gangsta rap is extremely offensive to civilized humans. Same goes with low down pants. They enjoy offending civilized people. It's their way of paying us back for slavery which Minnesota had no part in except to abolish. Uncivilized people should be segregated so we can live in relative peace. Thank-you in advance,Johnny for letting me vent & give my opinion without being a facebook member.

Johnny you're an idiot. This video has nothing to do with Ty. This dude is tre tre not 1 9 Dipset. And to say you use your hands to "represent" is racist and it shows how simple minded you are.

Well, if you know the sides then put their music in front of me along with a convincing argument of their affiliation, and I'll consider giving it some play. Otherwise I'll continue to assume the person who told me about this is correct and you, anonymous troll writing without an urban dialect, are actually the one who knows nothing.

If Kash Da Kid contacts me in a way that I can identify that it's him and says he's neutral, I will make corrections accordingly. But I need to hear it from somebody besides an anonymous commenter.

I draw to everybody's attention the following comment left on my blog on another thread:

To which my source says the following:

No dumb ass...it says Tra, Tra Crips have just jumped into the ring and was coming after young n thuggin that the young dro concert...You just brought a whole nother NS gang into the mix......

To which I say: I didn't bring nobody into anything. Some folks are just using this forum to communicate. But to the degree this info is worth anything, it would tend to show that "Tre Tre Crips" have a stake in this dispute.

Kenneth Lee Dillard (8/18/81) or would that be Kenneth Jashian Dillard (8/17/90).

Neither of them has a particularly noteworthy police record.

Dillard should be listed with your notorious families. Eddie and Freddie, twin terrors, been pimpin' and robbin' for years...and then along comes a young buck named Kenny...hey, wasn't a Dillard involved in the shooting of a girl in nomi? Shot coming out of a party? Dillard...no?

I received a communication from somebody who stated that Kash Da Kid is not affiliated with "Taliban" or "19 Dipset." I am looking into this communication.
