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.

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-Cons ution. "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.

why are you posting that like you care?
Man...Lil Phat was the .
My favorite works of his are Never Without a Rubber and Count My Money Backwards.
*goes to listen*
*comes back*
I can relate to count my money backwards but the never without a rubber song doesn't mesh with my lifestyle. I go raw everytime.
How convenient
Cool. Let all those non talented dumdasses blow each other away, who needs their music or them?
Who can't do this...
my hoe says she loves me
then she cheats
that's why I beats her up
toss her in the street
I'm a bad man
bad to the bone
don't take no from no hoe
especially in my home
What talent![]()
Damn! Not Lil Phat!!! He was my home boy!![]()
no talent aside, he was a human being. he wasn't killing anybody, he had a family and loved ones. doesn't mean he deserved to die.
Deserved got nothing to do with it.
(big Clint Eastwood)
bob welch, robin gibb and now an unknown rapper.
Two musicians and a thug.
Sad.
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 his name is Spider-Man? It's called entertainment. If he was white though and sang country I bet this would be a tragedy.
It's Tobey Maguire you mother er.
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 bull . A ing fantasy.
Yeah, young kids should go online and make aliases such as 'RaZon', you ing imbecile.
Wait...what are you calling bull ? The fact that many of these kids grow up in situations that foster the "thug life" mentality? The fact that a large % don't have fathers?
Fantasy? Like what? Sci Fi? Like turning on a tv and watching some bull 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 bull .
Maybe they should rap about shooting each other with laser guns and wearing dorky ass armor?
I agree 100%. I cannot stick up for RaZon at all. Yep, ing 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.
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.
