'He knew the risks': Canadian rapper falls to his death from airplane wing in failed stunt
2018-10-24
[NationalPost] VERNON, B.C. ‐ A 34-year-old rapper who fell to his death in British Columbia while performing a stunt that involved rapping while walking on the wing of a plane was a "beacon of light to follow your dreams," his management team says.

Jon James McMurray died Saturday filming a project he had been working on for months, a statement from the team said. He trained "intensively" for the stunt, it said.

"However, as Jon got further out onto the wing of the plane, it caused the small Cessna to go into a downward spiral that the pilot couldn't correct," the statement said.

#9  And speaking of rappers...

A cat's fastest path up Parnassus is
To pander to Democrat Rastuses.
No tunes and no crooning;
Crass, comical cooning
In minstrelsy's nasty anastasis.

#8  The tragickal selfie-stick story
Of Jon "What, me worry?" McMurray:
He fell off the wing.
Angels asked, "Can ya sing?"
And the worst: All his footage was blurry.

#6  Is it just me or has Darwin been particularly busy lately?

Certainly seems Darwin might have been a musician.

#3  In a moment of levity
Took a big puff of brevity
The beacon of light
who failed his flight
Quickly said to our gravity, "no hurry."

#2  "Here, hold my spliff, man."

Until ZF arrives...

Jon James McMurray,
was always in a hurry.
Filming his dream
was less fun than it seemed,
And poor JJ ended up in a slurry.
