Eighteen year old Joseph Coleman, aka "Lil' JoJo", a local Chicago rapper, was gunned down Tuesday evening near 69th and Princeton. Lil' JoJo was riding on the back of someone else's bike around 7:30 PM when a car pulled up and someone fired six or seven shots. Lil' JoJo was hit in the back but was still able to run to a nearby home where he later died outside as witnesses screamed his name.
Sad , I know, but why is this news relevant to hip hop? Well it's not just because he was a local rapper. If we did stories on every local rapper who gets killed or dies on the streets our blog would never stop running, so, no. Apparently, however, Lil' JoJo was mixed in with beef from another more widely known rapper who goes by the name of Chief Keef.
Police are investigating a possible gang connection between Chief Keef to the Black Disciples and how that may tie into the killing of Lil' JoJo through gang related activities and violence.
For anyone who follows Chief Keef on Twitter, you may have noticed that he will often tweet with a "#300" hash tag. Police have recognized that as a reference to the Black Disciples and have also compiled possible evidence of Lil' JoJo being affiliated with the Gangster Disciples, a known rival gang of the Black Disciples.
Chief Keef also tweeted a reference to Lil' JoJo's death stating:
"It's Sad Cuz Dat N*gga Jojo Wanted To Be Just Like Us *LMAO."
Later, Chief Keef proclaimed that his Twitter was hacked, but that still has yet to be confirmed.
This news is nothing new. People beef and kill and die everyday. It's a sad and harsh reality we live in and yes, whomever is responsible should pay no matter what Lil' JoJo might have said or done or whomever he might have disrespected. NO MAN has the right to decide whether or not another man gets to live their life.
My problem in this situation is, why is there a such thing as "gang related tweets"?!?!!! GANGSTAS DON'T TWEET MY NIGGA!!! Gagsters don't have time to sit in the house and be on the internet and they BARELY have it to be on the phone. The only phones a gangster should have should always be disposable and meant for one purpose and one purpose only, to take the call, and get back to the money. So why is there internet evidence of possible wrong doing? I say if Chief Keef did have anything to do with this and is in turn, dumb enough to tweet about it, then he deserves the coldest darkest smallest cell under the worst prison in the world!
COLD BLOODED KILLERS / THAT THAT SH*T I DON'T LIKE!
*Update*: Could this be the reason Lil' JoJo got killed? He posted this video just hours before he was shot and killed and you can hear the person yelling "Imma KILL YOU!"
