SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. – Atlanta rapper Lil Phat was gunned down in the parking lot of a Georgia hospital, police said Friday, as they hunted two men seen running from the scene.
The rapper -- real name Melvin Vernell III -- was killed about 6:40pm Thursday outside Northside Hospital in Sandy Springs north of Atlanta, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. (http://www.ajc.com/news/north-fulton/cops-seek-2-suspects-1454249.html)http://global.fncstatic.com/static/all/img/external-link.png
Vernell, 19, was found dead in a vehicle after gunfire was heard by hospital staff. A motive was not yet known.
A policeman said one of the two black men seen running away from the parking lot was short, wearing a red shirt, while the second was a tall man dressed in all black.
State Sen. Charlie Bethel (R-Dalton) was visiting a patient at the hospital at the time and was among a group of visitors corralled for two hours in an empty room.
"As we arrived, there was a disturbance in the parking lot," he told the Journal-Constitution. "Another family said that as they were beginning to leave, they heard shots and were hurried back into the hospital."
Lil Phat was best known for his appearance on the 2008 hit "Independent" by Webbie and Lil Boosie, MTV.com reported.

I can relate to count my money backwards but the never fuck without a rubber song doesn't mesh with my lifestyle. I go raw everytime.

Oh because he was a young black male who happened to be a rapper it's a joke huh? You all wanna act like because he raps he's automatically a thug or whatever. Is Denzel really a corrupt cop? Is Tobey whatever the hell his name is Spider-Man? It's called entertainment. If he was white though and sang country I bet this would be a tragedy.

You're right. I took the human element out of it, my bad.

Just tired of that rapper world, it totally sucks. So many young kids thinking that's how life is suppose to be. When in reality it's a load of bullshit. A fucking fantasy.

Fantasy? Like what? Sci Fi? Like turning on a tv and watching some bullshit show where the family lives in a huge ass house and the hardest decision about college is just picking whatever school you want to go to?

Life's hard. Life sucks. It is what it is though. Movies are fantasy, TV is fantasy, your lame ass books are fantasy. Oh, but because it's a black man talking about the life people live (black or not) and the things they want, it's a load of bullshit.

Maybe they should rap about shooting each other with laser guns and wearing dorky ass armor?

[Avante]

I agree 100%. I cannot stick up for RaZon at all. Yep, fucking imbecile!

Oh no not talking about the realities involved with young black kids. Well aware of that situation. I think it's something like 70% of them are raised fatherless. I was talking about celebrating that sad situation with music. Music that disrespects women (which is strange since most are raiised by their mom), music that does nothing positive. Why dwell on that sad situation, they need to rise above it.

[Augie]

I agree 100%. I cannot stick up for RaZon at all. Yep, fucking imbecile!

Hey dude. I got the RaZon schtick...thought it was funny for a little bit. Some personal advice from someone who doesn't have a horse in this race. Quit giving these a-holes so much to work with. It doesn't matter how serious or knowledgeable you are...they're a bunch of idiots. The more you prove your point and the more you prove them wrong, the more sillyness they will post. You could say, "Obama is the president." Provide them a link and pictures and everything. I guarantee that one of them would tell you that he's some famous slave or something.

[Trill Clinton]

avante, you're being a hypocrite lol. yes some rap music promotes violence but so do the sci-fi flicks you love so much.

wasn't the matrix the inspiration behind the columbine shooting? the movies you love so much that promote gun violence are worse than some rap music.

I appreciate the real talk, thank you!

In reality I'm a football, track, blues historian. Now retired living off a pension, SS, my savings and my football winnings. When I'm in a serious (internet) mood I post on boards about those things where there are others there like myself. This board is simple and funny, I get a kick out of it. Of course I have to play a role to maximize the silliness. I'm having fun with it which is the bottom line. This total fear of trolls/trolling totally cracks me up. It's all good:hat

Yeah, I dig the blues too. I don't have an iota of the knowledge of the history of it like you do. I just know that I like it. One of my favorite movies was Crossroads. I love the dueling guitars at the end. I tried watching it again and realized how bad it really was as far as the acting and stuff. But the Ry Cooder soundtrack still holds up.

For what it's worth, I saw a documentary about Fat Possum records and their success in recording some of the Delta blues guys. Really cool show if you ever get a chance to check it out....hold on..."You See Me Laughin". That's the name of it.

The highlight of "Crossroads" for me (other than that Cooder soundtrack) was the recreation of the famous Robert Johnson recordings in 1936. They nailed it as far as what we've been told.

They also got the Legbu thing right. Robert Johnson, Peetie Wheatstraw and Tommy Johnson who actually originated that story sold their souls to Legbu for their guitar prowess not the Devil.

I have a a lot of that Fat Possum stuff. The label also recorded The Black Keys first. R.L.Burnside, Junior Kimbourgh their big stats. Really cool how they approached the music, no bullshit, they tell it like it is. T-Model Ford another great Fat Possum artist.

In the Led Zeppelin bio, Hammer of the Gods, there is a lot of talk about Robert Johnson and speculation that Page cut a similar deal with the devil. Hmmm. I had no idea that Legbu was not the devil. Thanks for the tidbit. Although probably means I'm going to spend the next 15 minutes surfing the web instead of answering phones.

Tommy Johnson was the first to tell that Crossroads story. He like Robert was a Mississippi Delta bluesman. He did his first recordings in 1928. Robert was well aware of who Tommy was (not related). So he simply picked up on the story. Tommy was no great guitarist however while Robert was. Lonnie Johnson (another Johnson who was born in Louisiana and played out of St.Louis)) was the best of the prewar guitarists, Robert was a big fan of his.

Robert Johnson had these enormous hands and long fingers (actually freaky looking) so he could reach places on a guitar neck most couldn't. Which gave him a rather unique sound.

Legbu was a Haitian God of the crossroads.

Jimmy Page a big fan of them old blues. When the Levee Breaks is an old Memphis Mimnnie and Kansas Joe McCoy tune.

You two are dipshits. Dipshit #1...it's "Legba". And he's not a god. And he's not the "god of the crossroads". Dipshit #2...quit having conversations with Dipshit #1. Why don't you guys just get a room and take turns blowing each other while the other sings pre war blues songs.

In Haitian Vodou (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_Vodou), Papa Legba is the intermediary between the loa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loa) and humanity. He stands at a spiritual crossroads and gives (or denies) permission to speak with the spirits of Guinee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinee), and is believed to speak all human languages.

[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Papa_Legba&action=edit&section=2)] Appearance

He usually appears as an old man on a crutch or with a cane, wearing a broad brimmed straw hat and smoking a pipe, or sprinkling water. The dog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog) is sacred to him. Because of his position as "gate-keeper" between the worlds of the living and the mysteries he is often identified with Saint Peter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Peter) who holds a comparable position in Catholic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic) tradition. He is also depicted in Haiti as St. Lazarus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Lazarus),[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_Legba#cite_note-1) and St. Anthony.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_Legba#cite_note-2)

In the 1986 film Crossroads (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads_(1986_film)), blues musicians Robert Johnson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Johnson) and Willie Brown sell their souls to a "Mr. Legba" at a Mississippi crossroads. Later in the film Legba takes the name "Scratch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Scratch)".[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]

He's a spirit. The voice of god. Not a god. And even if he was, he's not god of the fucking crossroads. He may stand there but that's not what his main purpose is. He's the fucking intermediary between gods and men. And you've reduced him to "god of the crossroads".

Legba rules fate, chance, roads, doors, mirrors, crossroads, contradictions, opportunities, primordial light, and the daytime Sun as it travels across the sky. He is the patron of interpreters, travelers, and small children. Variations of his name include Elegba, Elegbara, Elegua, Eleggua, Eleggùa, and Elegguá. He is also called Lucero, and Exu or Eshu. His titles include Papa Legba, Tata Eleggua, Lord of the Road, and Opener of the Way. Kafou Legba is his dark, lunar aspect. In the New World, Legba was syncretized with St. Peter, St. Martin Calallero, the Archangel Michael, El Niño de Atocha, the Devil, St. Martin, and St. Anthony (St. Anthony of Padua, St. Anthony the Hermit).

You are so stupid it's comical.

Keep in mind this whole Sold my Soul at them Crossroads bit is from black folklore. The story they told was of Legba a god of the crossroads. It had nothing to do with the Devil. A story that is often told.

Why do you even bother, it's obvious all you are about is trying your best to prove me wrong. But know nothing yourself. That's sad little fella.

The story (riight or wrong) is about the God Legbu trading guitar prowess for souls.

Then there's..

Legba
Messenger god; Trickster; god of crossroads.
Mercury / Sun / Moon / Fire / Gemini
(African: Yoruba, Fon; Afro-Caribbean; Afro-Brazilian

The Mississippi Delta-ites saw Legba as the God of the Crossroads. That's not debatable. That's why he was mentioned, how do you sell a soul to a non God. Well?

Yes it is like the Frankenstein thing.

You're wrong. It's pretty clear that the Haitian gods didn't interact with the humans but had the loa (spirits) do this. BTW, Wikipedia confirms what I've know all along.

You get there at those crossroads at midnight with your gutiar. A big black man will show up, this will be Legba a God of the crossroads. You hand him your guitar, he will tune it, if you take it back he has your soul you have guitar unworldly guitasr prowess.

How do you sell a soul to a non God.......NOW THINK!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care who Legba was/wasn't that is the story told. The "uneducated" which they were in the Mississippi Delta in the 20's/30's thought that....................

It does help when you know the story.

Dude, do you read or have any interests? I'm serious about this. You don't appear to know anything. What are your interests? Can you give a legit response for once?

you know what they say about appearances

but yes, I read. I also like good movies, sports, music, and country line dancing. Walking through the woods on a crisp day. Sitting on the porch watching the rain. Slow dancing barefoot in the tall green grass with my lady. Cruising down the highway hopped up on a handful of pills, radio blasting Mungo Jerry, gun within reaching distance...one in the chamber. Watching reruns of Happy Days. Hot buttery rolls. Chocolate pie.

Ok lets not make light of this huge moment. No way am I going to say anything other than...BRAVO!

Who doesn't like walking on the beach at sunset?

But I guess most of your fantasies involve your eager naked butt pressed up against cold prison bars while some 6'5" mandingo fills you full of semen and bad intentions.

Christ I came to read about another wannabe thug rapper getting shot and some comical hindsights about it and all I get is yet another useless wikipedia quoting diatribe from razon.

You had it man. You were above all this silly shit. What happened?

yes, I take meds. Interestingly enough, I don't have a single prescription.

While you appear to be in one of your sane moments.

I like most people who do this are way past "yo mama". That was something people played when all this was new, it was kinda funny back then. Now it's so tired and so old...ok? Why you still bother with that...??? Trust me when I tell you it doesn't get what you are looking for. All it does is make you look retarded. Why not drop it...ok?

Don't try and talk about things you know nothing about...ok?

Since it;s very obvious I'm stuck with you, please don't be a time wasting pest...ok? Come real when dealing with me.
