Many red hot and exclusive details will follow in my NEXT blog post about how last night's candlelight vigil for a North Minneapolis shooting victim (click here for Star Tribune article) quickly turned into a mob action with a shot fired, and citizens nearby hitting their lovely wood floor with not enough police able to respond to their frantic 911 calls, but first things first: 

The murder victim's identity was learned first and exclusively by JNS blog by simply looking on Facebook (click here for his Facebook profile) while our mass media provide fearful Northside citizens no further details. These mass media are apparently on a tight and voluntary official leash awaiting a "press release" or some such thing.  Stepping into the void, JNS blog can tell you the victim is a man who goes by Drew TheChef Billingsley. 

Since he is...

JNS blog has now confirmed with more specificity the reason a rap concert by "Young Dro" was cancelled yesterday at The Venue.

In the course of hot discussion about music videos released by "Da Movement" which appear to reference the murder of gang leader Tyrone "Ty Crack" Washington at Epic Nightclub, this blog has embedded videos of those songs and shared with the largest audience in this blog's history. Indeed, while abhorring the violence glorified by the songs I have been somewhat complimentary of their technical prowess, the bold First Amendment expression, and daring artistic innovation by the musicians; smashing the boundary between "what is art" and "what is evidence."

But I am certainly not taking sides, here. And I committed myself in a public way to giving equal time to any musical expression by the "other side" in the name of fair play, journalistic integrity and (good Lord!) putting the focus on music instead of KILLING EACH OTHER...

Following up on red hot discussion about a music video called "Kobe Diss" which has shattered all viewership stats for this blog, and purportedly references the murder of Tyrone "Ty Crack" Washington, I have spent some time reviewing other music videos by "Mental Mid" posted on YouTube.

Most of the videos are just rapping about hood activities, and are interesting only because street signs and landmarks such as the dreadful Wally's "inconvenience store" on Penn Ave. N. can be recognized.

However, the video embedded above, "No Competition," is clearly making reference to the Tyrone Washington murder just like the "Kobe Diss" video. In fact, at 2 minutes, 45 seconds a bracelet of some kind is displayed with...
