DJ Megatr0n was shot dead near his home in Staten Island around 2am on Monday March 28th.  One shot to the torso of the 32 year old man from 106th and park fame.  Police have no witnesses, motive or any type of clue as to why he was shot.  Hope we don’t have another Biggie/Tupac fiasco where the killer is never found.  As sad and cynical as the song by KRS 1 is, “If you wanna get away with murder, kill a rapper,” there rings some truth to that.  Peace to Megatron, Corey McGriff, and his family.  His mother giving statements to the news was rightfully distraught.

Afeni Shakur was arrested in North Carolina for drug possession on April 16th, 2010.  Afeni Shakur famed mother of Tupac and Ex-Black Panther member was charged with felony possession of Marijuana, simple possession of a controlled substance and maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance in Lumberton, NC.  Her fight with drug use was mentioned by Tupac in the song Dear Mama.  When I first heard about this, I thought is was going to be some serious drug that she was caught with.  It was just marijuana, even though the charges sound serious, she’ll most likely get a misdemeanor charge.  Afeni is currently out on $10,000 bond and is due back in court on May 10th.  Seems the police don’t have anything better to do in NC then to arrest old ladies for marijuana possession.  I guess they should send them out to Chicago to help with the violence problem then.
