[News] Toronto Young Jeezy Show at Sound Academy Shot Up!

I should have known how this night was gonna end when I went through the far too shoddy and cursory ‘security check.’ That being said, against my better judgement I proceeded to go in anyway and endured an hour of wack opening acts before 5 shots, which I at first thought were firecrackers, went off, scattering the crowd and shutting down the show before Jeezy ever hit the stage.

F-ck you T.dot knuckleheads for ruining everyone’s night and possibly (but I pray not) worse with this idiocy. Lived 17 years in NYC and never (to the best of my recollection) had the misfortune to experience a shooting in a club (although there was one time in Miami at a Luke party during a How Can I Be Down conference in the late 90s…) but come home to this??! Life’s too short as is, I’m not trying to unnecessarily make it any shorter….
