Shots Fired at Hot 97, Something's Got to Give

| 808 Comments

SOHH reports: mixtape rapper Gravy was shot in the behind outside of the Shot 97 Hot 97 radio station last night. Gravy survived and seems to be doing OK, since he showed up for an interview at Hot 97 afterwards.

Now, this is the third rapper related shooting near the Hot 97 building in the last few years. I love hip-hop and everything, but if I worked in that building I would have asked for a transfer long ago.

Last year the landlord complained about the violent atmosphere Hot 97 was creating and asked to limit their number of visitors to 2 at a time. Fair deal. We all know it's the artist's huge, uncontrollable entourage that causes all the mess. Now, this detail in the story jumped out at me:

"Word is Gravy went to the station with an entourage of approximately 30 people sporting T-shirts with his moniker on it."

Why are 30 people rolling with him to an interview? I bet Gravy doesn't even know all them dudes.

Even though Hot 97 isn't directly responsible for any of the shootings, someone has to be held accountable for what's going on. I'm surprised the White folks in their neighborhood has let it go on for this long.

Why do we have 30 plus niggas wit us and yet cant police our own neighborhoods? If u combine all these NY rappers who wanna "BRING NY BACK" wit there entourages we could def police our own areas instead of havin the lowest form of government play congress on us..Matter of fact that may not be too good of an idea..reports say when the shot or shots went off they all ran cept gravy,WTF?

Betta ride wit ya fiya or stay ya ass home!!

DONT LAUGH AT ME!!!

Damn, another shooting?

Hot 97 is pretty much a shooting range that happens to play music.

When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong

My question is, if you rollin with 30 dudes, how da hell you get shot in da ass? Did homeboy sneak up on all 30 of y'all? Were all 30 of y'all too pussy 2 do somethin about it? Dat shit don't sound right to me.

But I wouldn't be surprised if Gravy was rollin with 30 cats. He don't have alot of respect in these NYC streets, and he's from my home, Brooklyn. I heard dat Jim Jones and da Goonies stripped dat nigga nekid and had him runnin out da club for talkin gangsta when he ain't dat tuff.

See, now when Hot 97 gets shut down or switches to country music (not that either would happen) watch these dumb niggas talk about a conspiracy against hip hop, and how da city and da man are tryin to stop our music. Na dumbass, da mayor just don't wanna get shot walkin down da dtreet mindin his business.

People have to understand, rappers represent their fans & the fans rep the rappers. We all represent the music. If there is a riot at a hip hop concert, the papers don't disect who started the riot and why, they just splash VIOLENCE AT RAP CONCERT across the front page. Unfortunately Hot 97 is paying da price for that, and so are the fans.

I say shut Hot 97 down.

Oh this nigga is about 2 blow up now!
might even sign 2 G-Eunich, right Shakeem?

Man that is why we east coast heads are getting turned off by this. Of course everyone know the NY is the rotten apple but the lyrics are born there but NO. You fools want to have your East coast boys in da hood. Man we need leaders not followers. You suppose to organize and innovate not self destruct off of hate. I am with this new age jazz this hip hop is tired. Everyone wants to be the 2nd coming of PAC not BIG just PAC. If I heard BIG right he just wnat to live and let live. YO dude was scared in that last interview. How is your DON shook in his on land. Man stop eating ya'll young. You can diss Laffy Taffy but them cats is having a good time and that my friend (check the science and your pockets) is how you capitalize. Yo I don't want to be 60 and have to bring the strap to high school reunion. And it ain't nothing soft over hear. But yo you got to know when you stupid yo. HOLLAR!

like that dude said how do u roll with 30 niggas and an escalade pulls up and opens fire and hits u in the ass, what a coincidence. it sounds pretty fucked up to me. this gravy nigga is garbage anyways. yoo check ma shit out

I am looking for a shooting range, do any of you recommend Hot 97?

Sounds like a publicity stunt to me, ala Treach on the Sopranos.

Think about it how much press is Gravy getting these days? Zero to none. If Gravy would've done the interview without getting shot would it be news? Hell no.

In the entertainment business there is no such thing as bad press.

skrap u are garbage anyway. Give up while u can. BLACK PEOPLE ARE APES WITH GUNS. Thats all there is to it. Thats why when it all comes down to it, Black monkey ass niggas wont EXIST in the future! THANK GOD! Keep killing each other or attempting to.

Big Smoove dumb black monkey. How is getting shot in the ass of all places a stunt? U monkeys never stop surprising me with your monkey comments.

Getting shot at hot97 is an interveiw requirment

The problem is bigger than Gravy. The media loves to glorify the negative attributes of hip hop culture, and we allow them to get away with it. Instead of sensationalizing guns, drugs, sex and violence, the media should be talking about how more young people who hustle are trying to own their own businesses and help their families overcome misery and destitution. It seems to me that a person getting shot in the ass gets more attention in the news than anything positive that he or she does. Never mind all the self-hatred that people have for each other and the proof is in the fact that there's so much beef in the hip hop culture.

There's only a small number of people who control the media, the videos that we watch, the music that we hear, and the news that we receive. It's all done on purpose and it's part of their way to program us.

Listening to a man getting shot in the ass outside of a radio station in the biggest city in the world with a crew of 30 people around him to me is gay.

We all need to look at the big picture. Take control of your lives and your reality and stop acting like you're brainwashed.

Be on the lookout for
"Dorchester Univercity"

The debut album from I.W.
The best rap group in the Bean
hands down.

^ Right!

this is the most press gravy will ever get in his life.

yo, this same thing happened on the sopranos about 2 or 3 episodes. treach played a rapper that wanted extra publicity before his album came out and he paid the mob guy to shoot him in the butt, just like what happened yesterday. now black people watch the sopranos and i'm sure it's more than a coincedence. what a wack way to get your name out.

nah niggas maino had him shot they ben beefin for a minute ...plus jim jones n purple city n all dem niggaz did bang him in the club n robbed him for wutever he had thas y dat nigga aint say nutin wen some1 aksed him bout dipset..him n maino hav been beefin so im guessin some1 from maino's crew let those shots off ight niggas hell rell is the hardest out

That nigga rap name is GRAVY.

Somebody shot him in the ass for having a dumb ass name like GRAVY.

THATS MY WORD.. IF THOSE FEILD MOB NIGGAS EVER COME TO HOT 97 I'D GO OVER THERE AND BLAM AT THEM SOUTHERN FAGGITS MYSELF.. THEY GOT SOMETHIN COMIN WATCH..

chevy g.:

You BUGGIN!!! Ha ha!!!

Album is gonna be titled 'On The Side'!!!!

Lmao @ these rappers hiring gunmen to come shoot them in the fleshy part of the ass, just for publicity.


He basically reinacted the latest Sopranos episode. Wow

Who shot him in the ass? CUPID Lol

this is Hot 97 fault
they're not responsible for each beef
but they profit from it.
Seriously everytime any rapper has beef the first thing they do is air it out in hot97. They try to play play both sides of the fence and constantly get caught in the crossfire. If Hot97 wants the shootouts to stop
stop letting artist air each other out on the radio. But the won't cause controvesy sells so they'll tell all the artist to get their act together even though they help them send their message out. I'll listen to rappers beef cause its something to talk about
but honestly when you air your dirty laundry eventually there's going to be a confrontation physical or verbal. and sometimes Hot97 is the vehicle for the confrontation. Are they to blame no but if they don't want beefs at their front door stay out of the situation. Stop letting artist air each other out at the station, stop playing the dis records and stop the gossip hour
then they'll be safe. But they won't so
POP POP POP

I don't believe that Gravy...
I feel silly just typing his name,
would have got shot 4 publicity
that's crazy 4 even the sickest joker.
Do u realize all the "shot in a$$" jokes he's gonna catch???

What the deal is, I suspect,
by how clueless he was looking after the shooting,
is that gravy is just 1 of those not-so-tough-just-tv emcees
that's rolling with way 2 many unemployed jokers looking 2 make a shout-out or get their face in a video.

I have no love 4 hot97
but u can't blame them 4 this.
When the preacher leaves the pulpit
he doesn't take the congregation with him.
This entourage garbage is played out.
Black people better become smarter than that.
If history teaches you that u don't bring a friend 2 a job interview why would it be cool 2 bring 30 heads with u to sell a record only u r on?

Hot 97-A big fuckin joke of a radio station

Smack DVDs & all these cats pullin' out heat on them-A bunch of Fuckin jokes.

All these dudes in the rap game using shit like this for publicity instead of just makin' hot records-Even more of a fuckin joke

The rap game needs a makeover.

LMAO @ the "Shot 97" reference in the story.

Personally I think the whole NYC population just needs to be blown up

Thats just my opinion.

thats what gravy gets for talking shit with jay hood on that dblock bullshit
you aint a bully no more fucker

THIS IS SOME "SOPRANOS SHIT".. HE PROBLY HIRED SOMEONE TO HIT HIM UP FOR MORE PUBLICITY...

"THIS IS SOME "SOPRANOS SHIT".. HE PROBLY HIRED SOMEONE TO HIT HIM UP FOR MORE PUBLICITY..."

Couldn't agree more. This gravy dude will never get on anymore.

But what the fuck is with all this influx of bad news? Snoop gets arrested in london, Turk goes to jail, and now this loser gets shot? What the fuck? All I have to say is that all the fun and creativity in hip-hop is slowly being killed by thugs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Lol...I somewhat agree with that statement. It's something mentally wrong with New Yorkers. Maybe just a few of the borough need to be blown up. Leave the civilized sections alone.

you can't even name all the boroughs you philly cock smoker. keep our city out your mouth

What a fool. I bet you're another New Yorker who lives in Poughkeepsie who tries to rep BK, or any other borough made famous by a rapper.

Lol @ "our city". You don't own anything in NY. You may pay a city tax, but that doesn't mean you can call it "yours".
