*could easily have been titled “Oh, Atlanta #239”
Surprise of the century: community concerned that a rap video by a “red-hot Atlanta rapper” going by the name “Young Thug” is promoting violence.
Who would have imagined that a rapper going by the name of Young Thug** would produce a rap video that glorified violence?
**I’m pleasantly pleased to see that it’s actually spelled “Young” and not “Yung.”
Who would have imagined that said rap video by said rapper would depict such activities like, robbing a bank?
Who would have imagined that in said bank robbery, a security guard and “at least three hostages” would get shot?
A funny thing about this article is that the East Point (where the video was shot) city spokesperson was more concerned over the fact that city logos and identifiers were included in the staged bank robbery, without appropriate permission, and not the fact that a gruesomely violently-staged bank robbery was orchestrated in East Point.
Who would have guessed that Young Thug would be the type to disregard rules about unauthorized logo and identity portrayal in a rap video??
Yeah, no shit that this is a concern over the type of image being shown for East Point.
Man, it must suck to be 2 Chainz; for every step forward he takes for South Fulton County, he’s got shitheads like Young Thug sending everything two steps back.
EDIT: While googling for an image to use with this post, I recognized a photograph which made me realize that this isn’t the first time I’ve 1.) written about Young Thug, or 2.) mused about refreshing it was about the spelling of his name. Birds of a feather!
