RAPPERS WHO'VE BEEN SHOT
BUT STAYED ALIVE
About the post:
Unlike my earlier posts in which I wrote about deceased rappers,in this post,I'm going to show you the other side.The one that didn't end up tragically.It's the list of some famous rappers,who've been shot,but fortunately,not killed.Of course,that doesn't mean I'm going to stop posting about deceased rappers.I will continue to paying a tribute to them,in my next posts,just like I did in my previous ones.But now,let's see some of this rappers who were stronger than death.
1. 50 CENT
Probably the most famous shooting in rap industry,in which the protagonist survived.
On April 24,2000,50 Cent was shot 9 times,
after visiting his grandma in South Jamaica,
Queens.Darryl ''Hommo'' Baum was alleged
shooter.50 Cent survived,but karma had come to his shooter,shortly afterwards.He was killed just three weeks after.Rumor has it that Hommo (short for homicide),was hired by former drug lord,Kenneth ''Supreme'' McGriff,because 50 Cent talked about his business in the song ''Ghetto Qu'ran''.Supreme was later allegedly connected to murders of Jam Master Jay,and E-Moneybags,about which I'm gonna write in my next posts.It's also interesting to mention that Darryl ''Hommo'' Baum was Mike Tyson's close friend and bodyguard.50 Cent also stated that Supreme had ties to Murder Inc.,which is one of the reasons why 50 Cent-Ja Rule beef has escalated.
2. LLOYD BANKS
One more G-Unit member who got shot.It happend in 2001,outside of the club in South Jamaica,Queens.He was shot once in the stomach and once in the back,but wounds were only superficial.According to Lloyd Banks himself,his shooting was act of random violence,it wasn't the part of some altercation.
3. THE GAME
I guess it was important to be shot,if you wanted to join the G-Unit,'cause The Game was shot prior to joining the group.Before he became famous,he used to sell drugs in Compton.On October 1,2001, at approximatelly 2 a.m.,while he was alone in his apartment,he heard knock on the door.Expecting a late night sale,Game opened the door and saw his regular costumer.But this time it was different,because his costumer came with 2 other men.They tried to rob him,and then the fight started.The Game tried to reach his gun,but one of the attackers shot him 5 times before he could reach it.He managed to call the ambulance,but due to the severity of his wounds,he went into a three-day coma.The Game survived and became famous,but also left the G-Unit later,because of the beef with his former group associates.
4. CAM'RON
No,he wasn't shot for wearing pink,he was the victim of carjacking.On October 23,2005,after performing in nightclub in Washington D.C.,he was driving his 2006 Lamborghini.He had to stop at the red light.Right after that,a passenger from a car that stopped next to his,started to threat Cam'ron to give up his car.Cam'ron resisted,which angered a carjacker,and he started to shoot at him.Cam'ron was shot in his right arm,whose nerve was damaged.The attacker escaped.
5. OBIE TRICE
One more rapper who had a crazy luck.On December 31,2005,while driving on the highway near Detroit,4 bullets (or 6 by other sources) were fired at Trice's Range Rover.Two of them hit Obie Trice.One of them caused a serious wound,because bullet entered his skull.Even though he had a bullet in his head,Obie Trice managed to drive off the highway,where his girlfriend alarmed the police.He was taken to the hospital,and was released later that day,but it was to risky to remove the bullet,so to this day,it's still lodged to his skull.Shooters were never found.
6. FABOLOUS
Not so spectacular shooting,like others on this list,but is notable to mention.Fabolous was shot in his right leg,on October 17,2006,after leaving Diddy's restaurant in Manhattan.He was then,treated in hospital for 8 days,after which he was released.There were some rumors about the motives of shooting,once even included NBA star Sebastian Telfair,but since they are not confirmed,it's pointless to write about them.
7. SPICE 1
A little bit forgotten rapper,who was a star of G-Funk Era in the 90's.Well known for his hit songs,''Strap on the Side'' and ''The Murda Show'',as well as for his collaborations with 2pac,Mc Eiht and Method Man.Spice 1 was shot on the morning of December 3,2007,while sitting in his Cadillac Escalade,which was parked in front of his parents' house in Hayward,California.He survived,but suffered a collapsed lung.Spice 1 stated that,this shooting was related to a simple robbery,not some sort of conflict.
8. YOUNG BUCK
How else could I end this list,than with a
G-Unit member?!I put him on the list,even though is not clear if he was injured or not.Informations which were confirmed said that,on March 4,2012,Young Buck's vehicle was hit 11 times in drive-by shooting.I remember that I was on facebook that day,and I read somewhere that Buck was injured from drive-by shooting in his hometown,Nashville.However,it's a general opinion today,that Young Buck wasn't injured at all,but his car was indeed hit 11 times,after his group had an altercation in a night club.
Notable mentions:
At the end,I have to mention 2 shootings,that ODB,and 2pac survived,before they died.ODB was shot in 1994 after an argument with another rapper,and again in 1998,after a home invasion robbery.2pac was shot on November 30,1994 in the lobby of Manhattan studio,in famous and very controversial case.Both of the rappers have survived those shootings,but unfortunately died afterwards.ODB from drug overdose,and 2pac from another shooting.
