I don't get why he picked out Keef. I guess he was being Lupe (being sarcastic). But I thought it was funny becuz he told Cee-Lo that when he was little him and his boys used to pretend to be rappers and Lupe said he wanted to be BG Knocc Out (fyi: even Cee-Lo knows who he is).
I like Keef becuz he seems authentic. He doesn't seem like the mac miller type
-
i like chief because he speak his mind but his music is garbage.
-
he just needs a good team/person for Quality Control around him. And maybe an engineering/post production team

the fact chief keef got a record deal is sickening. we giving money to kids who arent talented and dont know how to act.
-
Keef is shit.
and uuh maybe Lupe became smarter with age and realizes today that people like Keef (the companies supporting him) are hurting the industry.
-
Probably cuz Keef is wack as fuck
-
Keef ight tho
-

-
Cuz he is a douche who sucks at rapping and talks shit about dead teenagers?

Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco is not letting Chief Keef's threats of physical harm worry him and has stepped forward to publicly embrace the teenage rap sensation.
Rather than throw shots back at Keef, Lupe opened his arms for the fellow Chicago emcee.
"i love u lil bruh @ChiefKeef...i really really do from the bottom of my f*cking heart. I know that street sh*t like the back of my hand.," he tweeted September 5th.
"ive seen it in every way you can possibly imagine and its nothing to be proud of @ChiefKeef it TAKES and TAKES till there is nothing left"
"i choose not to indulge becuz its lil guys that look up to me so i try and show them a better way @ChiefKeef i aint try to be BE better"
"I'm trying to DO better @ChiefKeef as we all should. We were born with no expectations to make it. born in the hood, live there die there.."
"I cant go 4 that @ChiefKeef & i cant let the people i love, including you my n*gga, go 4 that either. We kings not f*cking savages and goons" (Lupe Fiasco's Twitter)
Yesterday, Keef publicly threatened to physically assault Fiasco.
"Lupe fiasco a h*e a** n*gga And wen I see him I'ma smack him like da lil b*tch he is #300," he tweeted.
"my twitter has been hacked I think I'm making a new one dumb hating a** people #DontWannaSeeAYougN*ggaShine" (Chief Keef's Twitter)

Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco is on the verge of waving goodbye to the rap game for good after revealing his upcoming Food & Liquor 2 will likely be his last album.
Fiasco said the pains he has endured from the music industry have pushed him away from wanting to continue the career of a recording artist.
"This album will probably be my last...its been a pleasure to have all my fans provide so much love an inspiration for me and my family," he tweeted September 5th.
"but my heart is broken and i see no comfort further along this path only more pain. I cannot participate any longer in this..."
"My first true love was literature so i will return to that...lupe fiasco ends here..."
"..."
"To @ThelupENDblog and Sean the robot...Thank u brother A gift...Unfinshed...but still fitting #ATpt2"
"peace and much love 2 ya!...." (Lupe Fiasco's Twitter)

they are using cheef keif as the face of all the violence going down in the chi right now.
its exactly the same as when they villanized tupac like he was the face of "thug life" thuggin been going on since the beginning of time pac didnt invent it nor did this dumb ass kid invent the conditions in chicago but he is narcissistic as fuck and thats the outlook over there. narccistic, human life isnt valued and the ppl killing and getting killed 9 times out of ten weren't contributing to society anyways but its the innocents that get caught in the crossfires.
lil kids, single mothers walking to work...shits fucked up.
i got alot of people out there goin thru it right now.

Somethin tells me gettin locked up is gonna be some shit he dont like. This lil dumb nigga career gonna be over before it starts. I expected him to be slicker wit bodyin a nigga you dont run on the internet and brag cause popo got access to everything displayed on the WWW. If he was listening to Uncle Murda he would have known. I bet when the pigs come to scoop him he goes willingly wit no resistance too. He'll murder someone like him for a slice of pizza or some petty shit, but when the cops on you niggas bitch up n go soft with no problems. They dont make them like they used to anymore.

pretty much.

Cashout is Jo Jo's older brother.
I support Keef and his little child warrior minion Reese. Lets see how many caskets Chicago can do this year.
-
I hope there's a lot of caskets. People have literally been dying in great numbers since the beginning of time. Do u think becuz the Earth's population grew that it would stop? I wish it wasn't my niggaz in North America but somebody has to do the dirty work (play guinni pigg).
The Black Gangs in the Chi are what Black folks need to be like anyway, they just need to expand with more unity involved. The Internet is sometimes way different from real life

"parallel shit don't get yo ass lined up"

he goin' in alright....first 48 style LOL. currently the feds is investigatin' his tweets, the back and forth between his crew and lil jo jo's crew on twitter, the recent video that shows lil reese sayin': 'jo jo imma kill you', plus he may lose his deal wit interscope because of the backlash he is now gettin'....that's plenty of shit for him not to like now. street shit belong in the street not the internet people. it's not what they did but how they conducted themselves after the fact.

chief keef has stopped tweeting. LOL

Keef ain't goin nowhere lol

Lol
Don't everybody doe. I swear it's like when niggas kno they about to get locked up (no matter how long) then all of a sudden they wanna get all spiritual? I thank and pray to God all of the time. Whether its a good or bad time, even when I can't call it and I'm bored that day and it's raining outside or ain't shit to do that day.
I hope them GBE Niggaz stay free and don't change or change their music.

Drugs, Guns and Gangs: How Rapper Chief Keef Represents Bloody Chicago Culture
In the span of two weeks Chicago-based rapper Chief Keef has been demonized by a variety of media publications. They have attacked the content in his music, his negative image and even his young mother (she’s 32) for being what some have called an irresponsible parent for condoning her son’s erratic behavior.
What’s missing from the discussion that scrutinizes his every tweet is what circumstances birthed him and how he was able to massively capitalize on a murder culture while being on house arrest in America’s murder capital.
Last week Chicago police arrested 300 people and recovered 100 weapons in a 3-day gang and drug raid and March, May and August all recorded more than 50 homicides 2012 saw homicide victims in the city outnumber troops killed in Afghanistan. It is no secret that the violence in Chicago has been linked to gang activity. Last year the most frequent murder offenders were 17 and 18 years old.
The Chicago Tribune reports:
Annual Chicago police statistics show a majority of both homicide victims and offenders are young black men with criminal records…A deeper review of the numbers shows males ages 15 to 35 made up nearly three-quarters of African-American homicide victims… In communities where the cycle of violent crime — disputes, violence and retaliation — has become the norm, young people who have seen too much death develop hardened attitudes about violence startlingly early.
Over the past few years Chief Keef’s Englewood neighborhood has experienced almost 150 deaths. Being a 16-year-old kid on house arrest in this deadly community creating songs like “Bang”, while pantomiming firing a gun and reciting lyrics such as “choppas get let off, they don’t want no war, throwing clips from the 4-5 gotta go back to the store,” he makes it easy to imagine that the people who are sparking the violence in the city look similar to him and have a similar background. Lupe Fiasco touched on this last week when he was interviewed about Chicago artist by a Baltimore radio station. Fiasco stated:Chief Keef scares me. Not him, specifically but just the culture that he represents, specifically in Chicago…When you drive through Chicago, the hoodlums, I don’t want to call Chief Keef a hoodlum, but the hoodlums, the gangsta’s and the ones you see killing each other, the murder rate in Chicago is sky-rocking when you see who’s doing it and perpetrating it they all look like Chief Keef. He looks just like Chicago…he could be any kid on the street…To hear the things that he rap about specifically comparing it to you open up the news papers and there is 22 shootings this weekend, it scares me.
After hearing Lupe’s comments, Keef took to Twitter and wrote:
Lupe Fiasco a h*e a$$ ni**a and when I see him I’m a smack him like da lil b*tch he is #300.
Violence is what he knows and violence is what he is advocating and he makes no apologies for it. Lupe responded to Keef via Twitter with a touching declaration to make peace and ended his portion of the conversation by unveiling that his album Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1 , to be released September 25 via Atlantic, will probably be his last. Lupe wrote:But my heart is broken and i see no comfort further along this path only more pain. I cannot participate any longer in this … My first true love was literature so i will return to that … lupe fiasco ends here.
Violence in Chicago is not a new occurrence and neither is the imagery of violence portrayed in hip-hop. Chief Keef is not the originator of gangsta rap nor is he the first gang member to be signed to a major record label. Jimmy Iovine has proven before that he has a soft spot in his heart (or room in his bank account) for trash-talking-gang-representing-attention grabbing rappers like Snoop Dogg was in the early 90’s. What is notable about Keef’s rise to the top is that he emerged from Chicago at a time when the nation is zoomed into Chicago violence. He’s emerged as the bad guy, the face of Chicago violence and the voice of a thugged out culture.
How was he able to stand on such a pedestal? If he is really all that the critic say he is then why has he achieved so much success and why did he get a record deal? The answer is a simple one, YouTube. His original fan base is made up of young people primarily under the age of 18. While some of them don’t have laptops and computers at home, most of them have smartphones. With the ability to access his life from one destination and a mobile device, YouTube has been the most frequented destination for teens looking to find out whatever they want to know about the Chicago rapper, no blog needed, not even a search engine.
However, Chief Keef wasn’t an unknown before he started uploading his videos to Youtube, an alleged known member of the 300 Black Disciple gang hints his use of the hashtag #300 in his tweets and his popular song “3Hunnaz”, his name rang bells so to speak among Chicago youth. With the hood’ behind him and the suggestion from producer DJ Kenn to “stop saying so much” in his raps, he focused on simplifying his lyrics and was able to connect with his audience and create such a stir in hip-hop that labels were flying to Chicago to visit court him at his grandmother’s house (he was on house arrest at the time) and even swoon his close friends with deals first as a means get his attention.
It’s not a mistake that three of his closest friends and collaborators all signed deals will various labels before he signed with Interscope. Lil Durk and Lil Reese made the announcement that they both signed solo deals with Def Jam in April, Young Chop announced his signing with Warner Brothers in April also but Chief Keef did not announce his deal with Interscope until June. Label executives wanted him so bad that they were willing to put his team on to prove their loyalty, and despite his decision to sign with neither Def Jam nor Warner Brothers both labels will reap the benefits of capitalizing on the gang banging because “wild shit sells”.
Through his deal with Interscope he was able to solidify a movie deal, a Beats by Chief Keef line of headphones and his own GBE (Glory Boyz Entertainment) imprint, making him the youngest major label head in history.
True, his music speaks to the culture he was derived from but it also shows teens who are still facing similar situations of gangs, drugs and poverty that they too can reap the benefits of musical success that comes with glorying murder and violence.
In Chicago, it is not hardly about Keef’s music but about a Black Disciple being so visible in today’s musical culture and levitating above the streets, seemingly above his enemies. Call it envy or invested interest but if Keef is a member of the Black Disciples then they now have an imprint with a major label and nationwide notoriety using the outlet of Hip Hop. It’s not surprising that this would ruffle some feathers in the Chicago strees.
A vocal Joseph “JoJo” Coleman, the young man that was murdered Wednesday after an altercation with Lil Reese was barely a rapper and probably did not consider his beef with GBE a rap beef. It was personal, by creating the song “300hunna”, he inadvertently represented the 300 Black Disciple gang and that was a diss to JoJo’s set, so he released “300hunnak” a diss track where he proclaims to be a Black Disciple killer with the lyrics “these ni**as claim 300 but we BDK”.
The beef quickly took to the streets when JoJo posted on YouTube a video of him and a friend harassing Lil Reese while they drove past in a car. The altercation would eventually be taken to Twitter and hours later JoJo was shot dead while riding his bike. After learning of the murder, Chief Keef responded on Twitter by posting the message “It’s sad cuz dat ni**a JoJo wanted to be jus like us #LMAO”–LMAO stands for “laughing my ass off”. While Lil Reese had a much more direct response when he tweeted “Damn I just wke up 2da jojo sh*t f**k Em….”
Maybe over time (and with some guidance) Chief Keef will evolve into a pop culture icon, after all Snoop did. He is now far removed from the 21-year-old gang banger that was charged with murder in 1993 while signed to Interscope and Death Row Records. Keef will not be seventeen forever and perhaps one day he will be able to stand against the very machine that made him.

idk man i mean g's move in silence ya know. if he or his crew did it or not, the best thing for him to do was to keep quiet. this is prime example of what happens when these young'ns who don't have no rules, organization, or structure: chaos. back in the days them chi town gangs had order, now these young niggas killin' themselves and don't respect no one. i don't think it's anything to glorify it's sad actually. that's why we as people can't get nowhere. ps: although i'm for it carryin' guns and shootin' people don't make you a gangsta because when them pigs on ya ass and you in a cell for 25 wit an L ain't no heat in there you gotta use your hands. i feel for these niggas of today cause without heat they are helpless as a cat wit a jar stuck on it's head.

Everybody has an opinion. People have been bodying each other since before the days of Yeshua so I don't really feel any kind of way about that, I see no difference between today and yesterday. Yesterday Ed Lover & Doctor Dre were touching each other's dick with their own dick by rubbing their thighs together verses today where Lil' Wayne wearing white leopard jeggings and kissing Birdman on the lips. Yesterday we had the British Empire and today we have the North American Empire.
I be feelin like people r so self centered and greedy that they completely forget or disregard what's been happening since the beginning of time. Today we have Atomic Bombs, yesterday they had small pox and alcohol...either way you'll get the same result. Them GBE niggaz ain't no different than soldiers who killed in WWI [and that's IF they did it]

there is a difference between killin' someone for a reason and killin' because you think you can. honestly i think when you take the guns from these punks and put them in a cell they turn into bitches. if you a gangsta you tough wit or without a gun and i'm not siding wit jo jo but if dude didn't pose a threat he shouldn't have been shot. niggas don't even throw them hands no more they too shook: sissies.

Killing is so cool.

Why this nigga is even talked about is beyond me. He was signed because he promotes black on black violence which is what these crackas wanna promote and they know hes young and easy to manipulate. This is wny real gangsta rappers are shunned like my boy Uncle Murda. When they thought they could use him to make us kill each other they was happy Green Lantern, Jay-Z, 50 all suckin his nuts. As soon as that nigga started talkin about blowin cops heads off hes blackballed and nowhere to be found. Real gangstas dont last in this industry because they see thru the scheme and then are blackballed and forced to go back to the life of violence they were tryin to escape in the first place. They lovin Keef now but let him wise up and start talkin bout murderin racist cops or politicians and you wont hear nothin bout this kid ever again.

i'm glad you see it. these young niggas today is full of shuck and jive and minstrel shows i've tried to listen to keith's raps to see what was so hot and what the hype was about and i found nothin' hot at all about it. i can see jimmy iovine laughin' at the dumb nigga sayin': go on little nigger do that dance again or say that 3 hunna shit nigger boy. i'm about to find some spoofs of this nigga to watch. LMFAO

LUPE SOUNDS LIKE A BITCH
-
Let it go. But in real life being locked up isn't like that at all
-
Lupe who was 1/9 children actually grew up poor and in the hood around this shit is being called a bitch by a jewish kid from the burbs cuz he thinks promoting a negative black stereotype is bad. :o
Edit: unless you are talking about his retiring shit. He is just a diva. But when you got ppl like rick ross who never lived that life just putting out a negative stereotype, and stealing someone elses persona (freeway ricky ross) to sell, it is easy to get entirely negative about hip hop.

are u implying that growing up poor makes u less of a bitch? good job contradicting your feminist views, ya janky ass oprah wannabe.

Lupe do sound stupid but aint nothin cool wit glorifyin black on black violence. Its easy to stand on the outside as a white man n laugh n shit but niggas keep dyin everybody else prosperin we not.

Wtf? What feminist views do i have? Not to beat women? I'm pretty sure that is anti feminist because I am saying they are weaker. No having your friends die from stupid gang shit and being against it makes you less of a bitch than someone who glorifies the shit who was given everything and never lived that life.
Oprah wannabe? I believe lupe has a right to say his views without some dude say he is a bitch for not giving a wack over the top 12 year old looking rapper a pass. I also believe you shouldnt beat a girl 100 pounds lighter & a foot shorter who is begging for mercy. Ive just started doing stand up so no i dont support a woman who is against freedom of speech like oprah.
But plz tell me what views i contradict.

Lupes ego does need to be checked. I do find it wierd he decided to single out keef. It is wierd to tell someone what they can & cant rap about, but i will say to do that over the line shit same as comedy or movies it should be good, it as generic a topic in rap as possible, and to be doing it worse than ppl 20 years ago is pathetic.
-
Wow, Chief Keef fucking sucks.
-
Wow, Chief Keef fucking sucks.
Yes.
And did i read up there radioboobs saying "blacks need to be more like chi gangs"?

Chief Keef's Grandma Kills His Street Cred: "How Can He Be Doing All That Gang Stuff When He's Always Home?"
Chicago stands at the center of gangster rap revival that’s coming — “Straight Outta Englewood.”
The difference between the new breed of thuggish South Side rappers signing big-money record deals and gangster rappers that made Compton, Calif., infamous in the late ’80s could lie in the deadly details.
While the infamous rap group NWA used streetwise symbolism to rhyme based-on-a-true-story tales of the anti-police, shoot ’em up gang life in Rodney King-era Los Angeles ghettos, aspiring South Side teen rappers “diss” real, murderous street gangs in violent hip-hop anthems they hope will lead to lucrative record deals.
And Tuesday night, that may have gotten one of them killed.
Joseph “Lil JoJo” Coleman was gunned down while riding on the back of pal’s bicycle in Englewood, about a block from where Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson grew up and her family was slain in 2008.
The 18-year-old’s first-ever rap song — “3HunnaK” — was an attack on rap rival “Lil Durk” and it also called out a violent street gang.
The rap, posted on YouTube, included a line saying: “These n----- claim 300, but we BDK.”
Chicago Police say the number “300” is street slang for the Black Disciples gang. And “BDK,” meaning Black Disciple Killers, is a taunt from a rival who wants to kill members of the gang.
But Joseph Coleman’s half-brother, John Coleman, said the rap was meant to target rival rappers — not the Black Disciples.
“That BDK s--- was for the opposing rap team,” John Coleman said, referring to an emerging crew of Chicago rappers, Chief Keef, Lil Durk and their rap associates.
“The song was a Lil Durk diss. It was more music . . . killing them with rhymes.”
The YouTube video, showing Coleman and others dancing with what appear to be automatic weapons, has been watched nearly 800,000 times.
Now, Chicago Police are investigating whether the rapper’s online feud calling out a crew of more successful rappers, some that he knew from high school, and a raging Englewood gang conflict got him killed.
Hours after Coleman’s death, the Twitter account of Chief Keef, a 17-year-old South Sider who this summer signed a deal with Interscope Records, weighed in.
“Its Sad Cuz Dat N----- Jojo Wanted to Be Jus Like Us #LMAO.”
LMAO stands for “laughing my ass off.”
That mocking Tweet unleashed a backlash of online outrage against Chief Keef that could threaten the teen rapper’s record deal, sources close to Interscope told the Sun-Times.
On Saturday, several Tweets issued from Chief Keef’s account said he had nothing to do with the murder and said he was praying for Jojo’s family. They also claimed his Twitter account had been hacked and said he was going to stay off Twitter until his album dropped in late November.
“I didn’t know him but he young jus like me. i can assure everyone that i had nothin 2 do with this tragedy tho. my twitter acct was hacked,” said one Tweet from his account.
Another ended: “My prayers go out 2 Jojo’s family on their loss.”
Police have not named any suspects in Coleman’s drive-by slaying and no one was in custody late Saturday. Police also haven’t connected the “rap beef” to Coleman’s murder — or said if Coleman and his rivals are even in gangs.
But somewhere in the fractured gang turf that makes up Englewood, the thin line separating the art of gangster rap and the reality of gang life got blurred. And Lil JoJo ended up in the Cook County morgue.
Trial was pending
With rumors of a bounty on his head circulating on the street — even Coleman’s mom heard it — the tragic outcome seemed inevitable to some.
Coleman, who grew up near 69th and Parnell in Englewood, boasted in online raps of having allegiance to the Brick Squad, a faction of the Gangster Disciples.
Last year, he was arrested on a gun charge — one he was due to stand trial for in two weeks. Police say he dropped a .45 caliber pistol while running from them during a raid of a party attended by members of the Gangster Disciples, rivals to the Black Disciples.
Chief Keef also makes appareent references to gang life in his music and social media posts.
Some of Chief Keef’s songs and Tweets include references to “300” and “Lamron.” That’s Normal — as in Englewood’s Normal Avenue — spelled backward. Lamron is a reference to an Englewood faction of the Black Disciples, police say.
Chief Keef, who performed at Lollapalooza this summer, once spent time under house arrest at his grandmother’s home after he allegedly pointed a gun at a police officer late last year. It was during that time the homemade video for song “I Don’t Like” started getting national attention on YouTube. It now has nearly 14 million YouTube views.
Kanye West’s remix of the song, featuring Chief Keef, has more than 17 million views.
Coleman, trying to make a name for himself, began taunting Chief Keef’s buddies in his own raps.
Coleman knew Chief Keef’s allies — Lil Durk and Lil Reese, both signed to Def Jam Recordings — from high school. For months, Coleman taunted them in videos posted online.
On the day he was killed, Coleman made a video of what’s purported to be his street confrontation with Lil Reese. Someone on the YouTube video is heard saying, “I’m a kill you.”
In the days after Coleman’s killing, police searched for his killer, someone who fired six or seven shots from the back of a tan Ford Taurus that was riding low in the back.
They targeted known gang members, questioned potential witnesses and searched suspicious cars for guns, sources said.
“No one is telling us who did it,” a police source said.
Chief Keef’s manager, who wasn’t aware of the rapper’s Coleman-mocking Tweet until being told by the Chicago Sun-Times, said he believed it was just a mistake made by a “kid” and that did not mean “anything personally.”
Since then, Chief Keef and his manager have remained silent.
But Chief Keef’s maternal grandmother had plenty to say about the rap star who still lives at her house.
Spends a lot of time at home
Chief Keef boasts in rhyme about shooting guns, slaying rivals and silencing snitches.
But his “Granny,” Margaret Carter, paints a different picture of her gangster rapper grandbaby.
The real Chief Keef — whose given name is Keith Cozart — doesn’t leave the house much. He spends too much time on the Internet and plays his music too loud. He has too many girls in his bedroom and can’t spend a penny of his big-money record deal with Interscope without permission until he turns 21, the rapper’s grandmother told the Chicago Sun-Times.
“Let’s be real, I’m always saying, ‘Cut that down, turn that off, that’s too loud’ when he’s doing all that music,” Carter said. “And girls is his thing. Girls, girls, girls. I get sick of all them girls.”
All Chief Keef’s bad-boy bluster — and the police investigation into his gang ties regarding Coleman’s murder — “ain’t nothing but bull stuff,” Carter said.
“How can he be doing all that gang stuff when he’s always home and when he’s not at home he’s out of town with me or his uncle. . . . And where’s this gang at? In my kitchen? In my basement? Where they at? In my refrigerator where he go all the time?” Carter said, referring her grandson’s regular routine around the house.
“Look, I’m granny. That’s what they call me and I didn’t grow up with none of that mess. That don’t go in my god---- house.”
In fact, Carter said Chief Keef used his new rap star status to steer his older cousins away from a thug’s life.
“He says, ‘You don’t have to do what you doing,’ ” Carter said. “And they say, ‘My little cousin pulled me out of the street.’ ”
What rap fans hear in Chief Keef’s songs is what he sees around him — not what he does, she said.
And Granny says she’s always been tough on her grandson, who she said got kicked out of school for saying “something stupid.”
“I be on his a-- all the time. I’m on his a-- now,” she said. “I tell him, ‘Things will not go right if you don’t do it right.’”
Carter said she believes her rapper grandson learned a valuable lesson while on house arrest for the gun charge, a two-month stint when he recorded the video that ultimately led to a record deal.
“I said, ‘Look at what you done now. Now they call your life. You gotta do what they say,’ ” Carter said. “Don’t let no one call your life.”
As for the online backlash against Chief Keef and his Tweet following Coleman’s killing, “that’s just jealousy of a little dark-skinned ugly boy and how smart he was to come up with all this,” Carter said.
And the 63-year-old, who also cares for Chief Keef’s 13-year-old sister, isn’t worried about his safety.
“I ain’t worried. Maybe I should be but I’m not,” she said. “Every time he leave out that door I ask the Lord to cover him in His blood.”
Rapped what he knew
Joseph “Lil JoJo” Coleman lived the thug life he rapped about — sort of, say both his half-brother and his producer.
“Most of the stories that he was telling in his music was reality. Truth. Some about gun violence wasn’t real,” said Smylez, a rap artist and producer from Englewood. “Catch them over a stretcher, that was exaggerated. It was took from reality and painted different. It was based on a true story.”
Coleman grew up just blocks from where he was murdered. His half-brother was just two months his senior. John Coleman grew up in the suburbs but remained close to the aspiring rapper.
“We got the same dad, but he got locked up when I was 8 months. Me and JoJo called each other twins from the start, and my mom always picked him up on weekends so we could be together,” he said. “I was definitely lucky to move to the suburbs.”
Before he became Lil JoJo, Joseph Coleman spent a semester at Buffalo Grove High School last year. He thought it was boring, but liked not worrying about violence, his brother said.
“Then something happened with his family and he had to go back,” the rapper’s half-brother said.
John Coleman said he was with Lil JoJo the day he died, in the car during the videotaped confrontation with rival rappers.
“I’m f----- up, man,” he said. “That was my blood.”
Now, John Coleman said he’s getting threats on social networks, but he’s not worried for his safety.
“God’s gonna let it play out how it’s gonna go,” he said. “I’m not changing my life for that s----.”
Smyles said Lil JoJo was trying to get the fame Chief Keef and his crew have attained. And he knew that meant trying to catch the eye of a record label by “giving them what they want.”
“It was a character and just an image that he was giving, because that image is hot,” Smylez said. “We’re not from the North Side. We’re not from the nice community. We’re from the ’hood. We’re from where m------------ are hungry and ain’t got s---, and it’s a matter of whether you’re a n----- that do eat or don’t. The n------ that eat do negative things to get it. Rap is a reflection of what happens.”
But John Coleman says his half-brother was involved in street life in Englewood. He talked about seeing rival gangs drive through the neighborhood shooting warning shots from car windows.
And part of the reason he wrote “3HunnaK” was to call out the rappers getting record deals who he thought were frauds, John Coleman said. And he wanted to get rich doing it — but didn’t consider the risk of angering the Black Disciples.
Dissing street gangs in general is a bad idea, Chicago’s top cop said.
“I don’t think it’s smart,” Supt. Garry McCarthy said. “That’s all part of the problem, they go back and forth. Tit for tat. On social media and in these raps the kid does he’s talking about violence and really taunting people.”
Record deal with Dr. Dre
Sources close to Interscope Records — the label of Dr. Dre, a founding member of NWA and a gangster rap legend — say Chief Keef got his record deal because people want to hear good music.
But label bosses won’t tolerate gang-affiliation or bloodshed or another “East Coast vs. West Coast” feud blamed for taking the lives of the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur — the most famous rap feud of all.
Still, a “broad spectrum of people, white kids and Asian kids in the suburbs who don’t live in that world listen to it . . . and it resonates with them from a standpoint of perspective — kids making music with somewhat first-hand knowledge of what that life is like,” said an industry source. “In most art forms the folks who create it are very troubled. They’ve gone through strife in their lives and the expression of that strife is powerful.”
And that sells records.
But there’s comes a point where too much reality is a bad thing.
“In this case, all the sudden he signed a deal and started Tweeting about gang-related stuff and all this other stuff is going on,” the source said. “It’s like, ‘What do we really have now and what are we into?’ ”
And where does that leave Chicago.
The possible gangster rap connection to a gang-related murder makes Chicago — a city already under a brutal national spotlight for this year’s spike in shootings in murders — look even worse, McCarthy said.
“The attention is bad for Chicago,” he said. “Unfortunately, the success we have isn’t reported at the same rate as the failures. Shootings is a catchy, flashy, but not good at all impression of the city. . . . What’s being missed is we enjoy a crime rate low going back 30 years. The gangs we’re dealing with are violent, but we’re going in the right direction for the last five months.
“And what’s killing me is the perception.”

On sum trill shit tho.... when u a little kid in a city like Chicago in the part where he's at. You have to give him alot of credit for not getting killed or locked away by 17. his street smarts are paying off for him alot quicker than his book smarts are. obviously he should reach higher for the knowledge but little buddy scored an anthem, maybe even a classic (with the Remix), and he's got buzz with y'all mentioning him and associating his name with whatever u want.
how u gonna be dingy AND hating Tho?

Keef got lucky and got away with it this time but I could see where his career's headed.
