Family, friends and gang members on Friday bid farewell to slain teen rapper Joseph “Lil JoJo” Coleman in a gangster rap funeral that was tainted by tension and fear, and ended with cops confiscating a loaded .45-caliber pistol.
While some mourners prayed in the Jones Funeral Home parlor — others smoked weed in the parking lot.
As family members paid their final respects, a crowd of young men eager to take a last look at Lil JoJo’s body surged toward his casket, nearly knocked it to the floor and pushed family members out of the way.
The music stopped.
Lil JoJo’s mother, Robin Russell, screamed into the microphone, “Get the f*ck out.”

Minutes later, Chicago police cleared the funeral home at 79th and Kedzie in the Ashburn neighborhood.
Outside, police helicopters hovered overhead as several unmarked squad cars patrolled the streets.
Young men and women — some wearing “RIP JoJo” t-shirts and others flashing gang signs and exchanging gang handshakes — danced and sang along with Lil JoJo’s first song, “3HunnaK.”
The song taunts a violent street gang and may have lead to his murder, police say.
For John Coleman, the parking lot dance party — and even the crush of people who nearly toppled Lil JoJo’s casket — was a testament to how much his half-brother was loved in Englewood.
“Today’s a rough today for me. We grew up together. I’m not feeling right. I’m feeling crazy right now. But s--- you see all the people supporting him. He was loved,” John Coleman said. “Everyone wanted to see him. That didn’t make me mad. It makes me feel good. He was respected. He was known and appreciated.”
While the mourners sang outside, pallbearers loaded the casket into a black hearse.
Riding double
Lil JoJo was gunned down on Sept. 4 while riding double on a bike — standing on the back — when a car pulled up and someone in a car shot and killed him, witnesses said.
He had hoped to get attention from record companies by feuding with Chief Keef, Lil Durk and Lil Reese — rap rivals from the neighborhood who have landed record deals. He wrote “3HunnaK” to call them out as frauds. The song includes a reference to “BDK” — taunt that police say means “Black Disciples Killers.”
Police say Lil JoJo was affiliated with the “Brick Squad” faction of the Gangster Disciples street gang that’s in an ongoing conflict with a faction of the Black Disciples that Chief Keef and his rap associates refer to in their songs and Tweets.
Police believe the Black Disciples may have been responsible for the murder. They also are investigating possible connections between the slaying and Lil JoJo’s feud with Chief Keef, Lil Durk and Lil Reese that played out Twitter and YouTube.
Shots fired
While the funeral procession meandered south to Mt. Hope Cemetery in the Morgan Park neighborhood, police got calls of shots being fired from a white car near 115th and Kedzie. Others called to report someone waving a gun out of a car window.
At the cemetery, mourners gathered around the grave, where Pastor Corey Brooks — the “Rooftop Preacher” — prayed and again called for gang members to set aside their hurt, find God and walk away from the violent thug life that took Lil JoJo’s life.
As her son’s casket was lowered into the ground, Russell wept hard and crumbled into the arms of a friend.
Friends gathering around the grave sadly chanted, “JoJo, JoJo, JoJo.”
Family members pointed at groups of young men who lingered near the grave.
“Those people aren’t his family. They say they’re family, but they’re not,” Lil JoJo’s cousin Charles Swift said. “You see all these shirts and you think JoJo must have been a big-time gang-banger because of all the people wishing him off to rest in peace. It’s the total opposite. This was a kid who was respectful and had his family behind him.”
But Lil JoJo also was influenced by negative influences on the street, Swift said.
“He was a kid that came home and played Xbox and had to watch his brother. And then he’d sneak out of the house,” he said. “You gotta remember in Chicago there’s a lot of single mothers.
And the streets have more to offer than these mothers can. … Unfortunately, he had the influence of some neighbors and whoever was around him that made him feel like he was gonna chase this dream this way.”
‘Just lost my brother’
As the funeral crowd dispersed, police from Chicago, Cook County and Merrionette Park converged on some cars outside the cemetery, searching the people inside and the cars.
Police closed down several blocks of 115th Street near Fairfield as they searched for guns.
Chicago police gang officers, some armed with assault rifles, swarmed the Kean Oil Company filling station at 111th Street and Talman, where a gang disturbance was reported. Police searched seven cars and SUVs and frisked about 30 people, including members of Lil JoJo’s family. Police found a loaded .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol in a white car. Late Friday, two people were in custody and charges were pending, police said.
A woman who identified herself as Lil JoJo’s aunt said she’s afraid for her family.
“We’re scared. There have been threats. I can tell you that,” she said. “And no one has been arrested for killing JoJo … Maybe people feel like they have to defend themselves.”
John Coleman said he’s not going to let threats keep him from pushing his half-brother’s legacy.
“These threats have been brought up a lot by my family,” he said. “I keep telling them don’t worry … what happens will happen anyway. I just lost by brother so I have to finish this dream of his, accomplish his mission with this music. I gotta feed my family.”

Nas' Life Is Good album has been getting a lot of good reviews from critics and fans alike. His song with the late Amy Winehouse "Cherry Wine" has been picked by many as the best on the project.
The Salaam Remi-produced track is about to get an official video. For now check out the teaser to it.
The tension between Young Money and G.O.O.D. Music doesn't appear to be dying down anytime soon. The latest darts thrown between the two camps have come from Drake and Pusha T.
During the Made In America festival held over Labor Day weekend, Jay-Z brought out the G.O.O.D. Music family during his set to perform several of their songs.
During 2 Chainz's intro he was thrown off by a missed cue or due to technical difficulties. It made for an awkward moment, but the crew quickly moved past it.
The following night during Drake's performance he also brought out 2 Chainz. Their performance went off without a hitch, prompting to Drake to say this: "That's how you bring out 2 Chainz."
Rolling Stone recently caught up with Pusha T and asked him if he thought Drake was dissing G.O.O.D. Music. Check out Pusha's lengthy response below.
At the end of the day – I guess just speaking on our behalf – we don't give a fuck what Drake says. Like, we don't care. In regards to us, that shit doesn't matter. Like, if you want to talk about the G.O.O.D. Music today and 2 Chainz, we had a mishap, because we have a record that is performed by four different people every night of the week and everybody has different edits of it. Ye's verse – where the beat switches up and it's really chant-y – gets edited out of a lot of people's sets. Just to keep the momentum of the song going and just keeping the show clean and concise. None of us was told, but Chainz wasn't told that Ye wasn't doing his portion of the record [at Made in America]. It was a mishap, man! I mean, fuck! People have mishaps. But I mean, Chainz is so fuckin' charismatic, he just walks out. I personally would've just rapped his fuckin' verse, because I heard it, but I didn't want to overstep my boundaries because fans didn't know he was there. So, you know, whatever. We talked about it in the back. Chainz wasn't bitter about it. He was just like, "I could've knocked it out. It could've been crazier had I been on time with it or had I known we were doing that edit." All of this shit is off the cuff, and all of us is all over the country, and we're just coming together to do the Made in America festival. It was a thing of paying homage to this new festival. It was a great experience, it was a great look, being a part of something that Ye obviously wanted us to be a part of. It wasn't a big production thing where we practiced this shit. Even I came out off-cue! I should've laid back a little bit, but we were rocking to it. That's what the fuck we do – we don't give a fuck. So, if that was the way you should've brought 2 Chainz out [laughs], then I'm glad Drake got to do it, and I'm glad that Chainz got the look, and I'm sure people were happy. Other than the shot thing, we don't give a fuck. We definitely ain't thinking about no shots.

What was supposed to be a celebratory moment quickly turned somber as Chicago Bulls basketball star Derrick Rose was overcome with emotion at the launch of his new Adidas D Rose 3 sneaker.
Rose, who hails from the tough Englewood section of Chicago shed tears as he spoke about the violence and murders that are plaguing the city.
"It's truly a blessing with all the stuff that is going on in the city," said Rose. "A kid from Englewood's got something positive going on. That makes me feel so good. This shoe is great. All this is great, but I can't explain this... To have true fans, that means a lot to me and I know it means a lot to my family. Because we don't supposed to be here at all. But God made a way"
Rose is hoping to be back on the court by the second half of 2012-13 season. He's currently rehabbing his surgically repaired knee. He tore his ACL last April in a playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

A U.S. marine is facing a felony charge of inflicting serious bodily injury after beating a cab driver to a pulp, and the entire incident was caught on tape.
Topsail Island, NC cab driver Charles Hawkesworth picked up a marine, identified as 30-year-old Gunnery Sgt. John Adam Kinosh. The two got into a dispute when a possibly intoxicated Kinosh accused Hawkesworth of trying to steal his money after the cab driver picked up another passenger while Kinosh was still in the car.
Though Hawkesworth told Kinosh that he would take him home alone, the marine went off and repeatedly punched the cab driver in the face. A camera installed in the car recorded the brutal beating.
According to Jalopnik.com, Hawkesworth suffered multiple fractures in his face, displacing part of his skull from his sinuses to his eye socket and cheekbone. Later this week he will have reconstructive surgery. He will get a titanium plate to fix the damage.
Businesses, bars, bands, restaurants, and residents in Topsail Island, NC are raising money for Hawkesworth's medical bills and living expenses while he recovers from his attack.

50 Cent sat down with The Breakfast club crew of DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee today to talk about a subject that has the internet buzzing. That is his new boxing promotion company that he's formed with Manny Pacquiao.
50 explained that it's just business and that he and Floyd are still good friends.
"I look at Floyd like he's my younger brother," 50 said. "He earns so much that just spends it. Just run around and spend doing what he wants. So there's no urgency to anything. Look. my concept of TMT is is the fight you wanna see. It's Floyd and Manny Pacquiao. If actually building the company would keep Floyd conscious of what's good for business as opposed to the ego. Then I could sacrifice the company putting them together."
50 goes on to say that he could easily raise the $200 million that it would take to make the fight happen.
Tune in tomorrow for the full interview.
