The street violence in Chicago continues to spiral out of control. On Thursday, September 19, either one or two gunmen opened fire on a group of people in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.
When the bullets stopped flying at Cornell Park, 13 people were left injured, including 3-year old Deonta “Tay-man” Howard, who was shot in the face.
The young boy's grandmother vented at the police on the scene.
"You cops can't solve sh*t," she yelled, according to the Chicago Sun Times.
Deonta's 18-year old aunt Lavada Hardeman was distraught. Her brother Jerome “J Money” Wood, a rapper affiliated with Lil Durk was killed on Labor Day.
"I can't catch a break," Hardeman said.
Deonta was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. After surgery he was listed in critical condition, but was expected to survive. He will probably need more surgery.
In addition to the 13 shot at Cornell Park, two men were killed and nine other people were injured in other gun violence throughout the city Thursday night.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel issued a statement Friday morning regarding the violence gripping The Windy City.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel
“Senseless and brazen acts of violence have no place in Chicago and betray all that we stand for. The perpetrators of this crime will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I encourage everyone in the community to step forward with any information and everyone in Chicago to continue their individual efforts to build stronger communities where violence has no place."
Police said the Cornell Park shootings were gang related.

STAR goes in on battle rapper Daylyt for making threats at Summer Madness 3, his on-going drama at the Dollar General store, the nervous McDonald's drive-through cashier, Bernard Hopkins wanting to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. and black-on-black hatred.
Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.
Considered radio pioneers by many, the Star & Buc Wild show has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."
Star & Buc Wild made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 (2000 - 2003) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.
Star & Buc Wild's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat, Shot97.com and VH1 (The Gossip Game).

Tupac Shakur left an indelible impression on the minds of anyone who listened to his music or saw him in a film. After years of waiting, a story about his life will finally be brought to the big screen.
Morgan Creek Productions and Emmett Furla Films announced today that they are in final negotiations on the biopic titled TUPAC.
Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, will executive produce the movie. It will be produced by George Furla, Randall Emmett, LT Hutton, James G. Robinson and David Robinson..
Tupac's music will be used in the film.
TUPAC centers on the life of the charismatic yet controversial artist. Rapper, poet, actor and political activist, TUPAC shot to fame with 2Pacalypse Now, lauded for its seminal underground vibe and still an inspiration for major artists today. Tupac’s politically charged lyrics, inspired by his parents’ activism as Black Panthers in the 60s & early 70s, condemned governmental intrusion in black communities. Tupac’s increased participation in the East Coast-West Coast Rap rivalry became well documented and avidly followed by his fans. On September 7, 1996 he was gunned down on a street corner in Las Vegas, where he died 6 days later. His murder was never solved.
The film is slated to have a $45 million budget. Production will begin in Atlanta in early 2014.

Damon Dash seemed to have the world in the palm of his hands at one point. As one of the founders of Roc-A-Fella Records, along with Jay Z and Kareem "Biggs" Burke, Dash was filthy rich but also brash and arrogant in some people's opinion.
Fast forward nearly a decade. Jay Z is flourishing while Burke is doing time in prison for his involvement in a drug operation and Dash is reportedly in deep financial trouble.
Super producer Just Blaze knows all three of the former partners well. He spoke recently on what he feels brought Dame crashing down.
"My take on Dame has always been he's a great guy, with a good heart, whose mouth just got in the way too much," Blaze told Vlad TV. "And that just comes from my own personal dealings with him. There were times when Dame was great to me. And then there were times when he was an absolute jerk. And I think that it's a thing where sometimes you rub enough people the wrong way you lose out on certain opportunities."

Brand Nubian emcee Lord Jamar says he has separated rap and hip hop into two different categories. He considers rap to be for the rich and gay friendly, while hip hop speaks for those still in the struggle.
He also feels like whites are only guests in the culture. While acknowledging Macklemore's talent, Jamar singles the Seattle rapper out for pushing the gay agenda with songs like "Same Love" when he shouldn't be.
"White rappers you're coming to this almost as a guest. As a matter of fact you are guests in the house of hip hop," Jamar told Vlad TV. "Just because you have a hit record doesn't give you the right as I feel to voice your opinion. You know this is a black man's thing. We started this. This is our sh*t. We've allowed you to come in and kick your sh*t, make yourself known and if you have enough respect for the culture, we f*ck with you. But don't push it too far. See making a song like [Same Love], feeling like you have the same footing as any other hip hop artist, and to me you don't. To me when people like Macklemore come out with songs like that. I know he loves hip hop and all that, but he's trying to push an agenda that him as a white man feels is acceptable."
What do you think of Lord Jamar's comments?

Pusha T's highly anticipated album My Name Is My Name drops on October 8th. The Virginia emcee sat down recently with Noisey for episode one of their "A Name I Call Myself" series to get his explanation on the project's title.
"'My Name Is My Name' is just telling you by now you should know Pusha T. You're not getting anything else from me. I've been maybe one of the most consistent in subject matter," he said.
Noisey also spoke with Tristan Mack Wilds, Anwan "Slim" Glover and Tony Lewis Jr. about the importance of a name and to get their take on the title of Pusha's album.
