WHOSE HOUSE? JAY'S HOUSE!

RIP, Jam Master Jay

NEW YORK - Jam Master Jay, part of the pioneering rap trio Run DMC, was shot and killed Wednesday, the group's publicist said.

Publicist Tracy Miller confirmed the death of the 37-year-old rapper, whose real name was Jason Mizell.

A legal source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the rapper was shot in the head at a recording studio in the New York City borough of Queens. A second person was shot in the ankle and the shooter was at large, the source said. (full story)

So much violence. Damn.

Ok, Republicans, here comes another moderately high-profile memorial service. Repeat after me: "I have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to criticize the person's family regarding how they wish their loved one to be remembered"

(cynical postscript: Does this mean that Charlton Heston will be holding a rally in Queens next week?)
