The "Hip Hop Voice Of The Street Pirate" Lifestyle Takes The Life Of Another "Artist Imitating Life" On Stage

Atlanta Rapper "Slim Dunkin" Fatally Shot On Memorial Drive

From the AJC article:


Atlanta police are still investigating the shooting death Friday of rapper Slim Dunkin, who was gunned down in a Memorial Drive recording studio after getting into an argument before shooting a music video.
Dunkin, whose real name is Mario Hamilton, 24, was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Atlanta Police Major Keith Meadows said Saturday there have been no arrests and “we’re still talking to people but the truth is we don’t know exactly what happened.” Meadow said  13 to 20 people were in the building when the shooting occurred, around 5:30 p.m.
Investigators still piecing together the sequence of events.  Meadows said that Hamilton got into a "verbal altercation"  before the video shoot and the person he was arguing with pulled out a pistol and shot Hamilton once in the chest. Meadows said Saturday it's not clear whether the argument was over the video.
"Right now we're just trying to....identify who may have seen what, really just trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together," Meadows said. "It seems everybody witnessed something very different. We're just trying to go back and make sense of everything." Police have not recovered the handgun that was used.
Hamilton, who lives in metro Atlanta, was an emerging rap star with growing connections in the industry. Music news website HipHopDX reported Saturday Dunkin was a childhood friend of Waka Flocka Flame and appeared on Gucci Mane and Waka's "Ferrari Boyz" album released over the summer.
Another industy website, TheBoomBox, reported that the Brick Squad affiliate was to appear in the "Push Ups" video for Mane and V-Nasty when he was shot.
Fans posted a memorial Facebook page, “Rest In Peace Slim Dunkin,” where comments were posted Saturday morning. “Life is so cruel, people don't give a dam about no one not even themselves, you got people crying, because people are dying," read one. Read another: " “It shows you that you can't trust a soul on this planet one min you with that person next you at there funeral."

I have an audio report to post at some future time in which those forces that claim that "Black life is cheap" - as they attempt to spare the life of Mumia "Killa Mu" Abu Jamal from this RACIST system.  They (Prof Mark Lamont Hill) make the case that "the death penalty" is unChristian or immoral (of you are not a Christian).  What they can't seem to do is to compel those who are in their charge to be made to respect the value of Black life.  With this as the case they choose to "occupy" in front of the state government, compelling it to stop committing "state sponsored homicide", knowing that they are impotent in convincing Street Pirates to respect life.
