Rapper ‘Young Greatness’ killed outside New Orleans Waffle House
2018-10-30
[RT] Rapper Theodore Jones – better known as ‘Young Greatness’ – has been shot and killed outside of a Waffle House in his hometown of New Orleans, according to local media reports. He was 34-years-old.
Now known as "Young Deadness."
The shooting occurred at around 1:35 am on Monday, with first responders pronouncing Jones dead on the scene.
"He's dead, Jim!"
He was found with a single gunshot wound, according to authorities cited by media.
"Yep. Between the eyes. That'll do it!"
The Louisiana native rose to prominence after his 2015 hit “Moolah.” The song’s music video has been watched more than 30 million times on YouTube.
"[Sniff!] Watch it again, Sam!"
Jones’ car was reportedly also stolen. New Orleans police say they are currently looking for two suspects.
"We think one's the driver and one's the passenger!"
Friend and fellow rapper P Town Moe told local media that he was shocked that Jones had been the target of such violence.
"Dat's right! 'm shocked! Shocked!"
“Dude wasn't into nothing but his music and his daughter … Wasn't into nothing else man.”
"Now he's into a hole inna ground!"

#12  I'd say that New Orleans is Louisiana's Florida, but that would actually be an improvement.

These days I think of it as Nagringrad.

#8  with one bod by a bod? Words, WDTHM? Edit to taste.

And pity the newfound unease
Of two-fisted Thelma/Louise,
As, scorning to waffle,
And bowed by the awful
Dead weight of the crown he's seized, flees.

#7  Remember the differently numbered,
Our friends with one bod unencumbered!
Their brush with Young Greatness
In dreads, styled "His Lateness,"
Ends, "Siamese? Please!" as he slumbered.

#1  After watching part of the clip at the link, I'd be looking at local music critics.

I love Louisiana, but New Orleans is one messed up place.
