As we all know, urban America is plagued with gun violence. 8 Mile’s almighty Rocaine took a stance against gun violence yesterday by settling his beef the old fashion way — with his hands. Now understand, in no way am I glorifying or promoting violence of any kind, but my hat goes off to Ro for not resorting to gun violence to solve his problems. Now while I commend Rocaine’s attempt to resolve his issues without any guns, I am disgusted to report that Rocaine was shot after getting into a fight with another Detroit artist. Rocaine is expected to recover, however that doesn’t take away from the fact that we need to put the guns down!
Pops from the movie Friday said it best- You win some, you lose some, but you live to fight another day. Check out Rocaine unleash the force from within in his new video “Skywalkin.”
Our prayers go out to Rocaine and his family.
