"Jam Master Jay", part of the pioneering rap trio Run DMC, has been shot and killed. Publicist Tracy Miller confirmed the death of the 37-year-old rapper, whose real name was Jason Mizell. A legal source said the rapper was shot in the head at a recording studio in the New York City borough of Queens. A second person was shot in the ankle and the gunman escaped.

Another case of life imitating (bad) art amongst rapper thuggery how suprising.

To be fair here, Run-DMC predated all this 'gangsta' business and never indulged in it. There isn't really any objectionable material in their music.
That's not to say that Mizell didn't cultivate the usual vices, however. But then again, blacks shoot each other all the time for ridiculous non-reasons, like "you dissed me, dawg, so I gots to reppazent". (I don't even know what I just said there, but you can bet that explains about a dozen murders a day.)

Back in the mid-80s RunDMC made upbeat teenie-bopper rap with, for the most part, upright pro-responsibility messages (anti-drug use). Gads, I saw them in concert myself in '88 (don't tell Linder). I was never a fan much past that time though. Jay's worst crime was that, living as a black rapper in a black town, he was putting himself in danger. Blacks make for volatile "communities" and I'm glad I don't have to live on the battlefield where their two feuding natures fight it out daily, man and beast.
