May 25, 2016 You have to think twice about your security before attending Hip-Hop concerts. T.I. had a special show in New York City tonight (Wednesday) in promotion of his new single ‘Dope’ and the upcoming album The Dime Trap. According to News agencies, at least 3 people were shot at the venue when unknown person(s) fired gun shots during the show. The condition of the injured is still unknown and there’s a heavy Police deployment outside the venue right now.

"The crazy world of the so-called rap artists who are basically thugs that basically celebrate the violence they live all their lives and unfortunately that violence often manifests itself during the performances and that’s exactly what happened last evening," Bratton says. http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.38976/t...t-i-concert-shooting-on-so-called-rap-artists *update Troy Ave, of Crown Heights, accidentally shot himself during the chaos in the leg, sources said. He was charged with reckless endangerment and illegal weapons possession, according to sources. Troy, who was to perform at the show, had a beef with Maino, who had just left the stage when at least five shots rang out, sources said. “There is clear video, very graphic video. He walks right out, women all around, and starts shooting his gun,” a source said. Shooting at T.I. concert in NYC leaves one dead, three injured "It's an ongoing rap group rivalry, him and Maino." Police said they were awaiting the result of ballistics tests before charging Troy Ave with murder. It was unclear why Troy Ave allegedly gunned down Ronald “Edgar” McPhatter, who was said to be close to the rapper.
May 25, 2016 Saw this and wanted to post it but was on my phone lol. Crazy s---, hope everyone's alright.
May 26, 2016 Shame you even have to worry about your own well-being at a freaking concert. It's tragically ironic that it had to be at Tip's concert of all places, as if his name wasn't already badly associated with guns.
May 26, 2016 Went to Irving Plaza once for an Immortal Technique/Chino XL show. Really enjoyed the layout of the place, especially the balconies. I've been meaning to go again but nothing has ever materialized. It's a shame that this happened. I thought the shooting at the Fat Trel concert at SOB's was bad but this is really disturbing. This is the type of s--- that makes venues think twice about booking rappers. I don't recall if they do security checks at this spot. I know some venues are less likely to check people if it's hot outside and today it was almost 90 degrees in NYC.
May 26, 2016 Troy kinda wild in them streets and pop off at the mouth a lot, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were just aiming at him and hit someone else by accident.
