Unbelievable! Monday morning at around 3am a man is shot dead and another is wounded at Studio A during a Hip-Hop event. Of all the years I have been going to Studio A I have never felt un-safe or in any danger whatsoever. It's sad to hear that a place I frequent has had this tragedy happen. Naturally people are going to correlate the shooting with the crowd that was present, mainly the hip-hop genre. Do they have reason to make such a tie? In some respect yes, others no. Let's get things straight here on MN. This is a terrible tragedy that should never ever happen no matter what type of crowd is present. That it happened though begs for some insight.
I think it's pretty apparent that the rap genre is filled with incidents like this. The musical lyrics are inherently violent and the social caste it tailors to is pushed to violence for obvious reasons. The fact is someone is dead at a nightclub, a place where people go to have fun and escape from life's crappy deals. What also sucks is that this happened in a venue where I and many people I know have been having fun and escaping from life for years with no such incidents. The scary thing is that I could have been at Studio A when that happened. Selfish you say? Fuck right, I don't want a stray bullet in my persons ever. There are little details being provided by the police as of yet but the incident effectively just happened. People just don't shoot shit up at nightclubs for no reason. There must have been motive behind this incident and once we have more info we will be sure to tell you the deetz. As of now I am pretty perplexed that this happened at Studio A. If you were at the venue when this happened then leave us some comments to help clear up what happened.
The title would probably say: Man stabbed to death @ Studio A - if it were a rock event.
lol

Plus, it's overreaching to call hip hop culture violent-russell simons would give ya a beat down! You may want to 'target' commercial rap music-which is what's playing @ Studio A on Sundays...
in any case, this sucks.
true true true. hop-hop is definitely a fun and positive culture. the shit that passes for hip-hop on sunday nights, not so much. pardon my french fuck up.

This is obviously motivated by an individual to dense to solve their problems with words and resorted to guns. I like hip hop, rap or whatever you wanna call it. But we can't deny the fact that unfortunately, whatever the socio/economic factors that are involved, these types of events are branded as rap/hip hop motivated.
As Lackner points out in his post, there needs to be a more accurate branding of the different styles that have come out of the hip hop movement. And I also agree with CNTRL that "it's overreaching to call hip hop culture violent".
word.
this violence correlating to hip hop is as Lackner stated is a facade to evade the real issue...a culture of death.
we can't dismiss the fact that some hip hop lyrical content is violent and that it sometimes has an effect on persons which are natural violent (as keyrat said)...what I think Lackner was hinting at (though I don't want to put words in his mouth) is that their is a lack of dialog about the root of the problem-a 'culture of violence/death' that is associated with lower class black culture. It is way easier to blame the music than to blame a culture for its faults because more people belong to the larger social group-the the socio-cultural group (folks that listen to hip hop but may not be lower class black ), and that seems outright racist to assume...
political correctness will (like it always has) stifle any progress....
and one more thing : WHY WON'T THE CITY OF MIAMI POLICE/OFFICIALS/BEAURACRACY HELP KEEP THE PEACE (like in this case)-INSTEAD OF WRITING ME A TICKET FOR PARKING IN A SPACE THAT WAS CLEARLY A LEGITIMATE NON- METERED PUBLIC SPOT???? SUCH INCOMPETENCE!
Good thoughts overall.
We don't see that at rock shows, instead we have crazed fans coming with guns and killing the actual performer, himself and injuring others.
1 - I am so sorry for those that were hurt and killed on Monday morning. I wish happiness and peace to the family of Darnell Parker.
1 - As far as the clubs responsibility - we had licensed security doing a double search upon entry - with metal detector first, followed by pat down. There were 15 security inside.
This was an assassination, there was no fight, no altercation, no warning, nothing.
2 - we may have never had this problem if the city had not taken away our option of hiring police to be stationed outside our club.
3 -We have stopped hosting the Sunday night hip hop party. I will miss this party. I made some amazing friends and worked with some incredible people.
4 - in reference to mr. crosslands' original post:
"The scary thing is that I could have been at Studio A when that happened."
I must respond that if Mr. Crossland had ever found himself inside of Studio A on a Sunday night after midnight, the only way he would get hit by a bullet is if it hit him in the ass on the way out, as he would have immediately vacated the premises while stumbling, choking mildly, stifling tears of fear and praying for his mommy.
My point here is not to emasculate Brian, but to point out that Studio A is a Performance / event space - more so than any other club in Miami. We bring a very diverse portfolio of events, with very diverse crowds - so I ask that no one make any judgment of Studio A based upon one event and the actions of that event's patrons.
Thank you again for your support, miaminights.com!
And I don't even know where to start with this quote in the Herald: 'There was jewelry, earrings, on the floor,'' said Miami homicide Lt. John Buhrmaster. ``High heels -- people ran out of their shoes. The floor was covered with baggies of crack rocks, coke, marijuana.'' So people smoking crack (huh?) were so terrified they took off their shoes to run but had time to take out their earrings too? Could this be the police interpretation of the usual party residue inside every club after a usual night?
Yeah, what she said...
