Man Named Gravy Shot Outside Hot 97

I heard about this last night and thought the details must be exaggerated, but it looks like this guy Gravy really did go upstairs for his moment to shine after getting shot. He was on with Saigon and Wes Jackson's friend Joell Ortiz..

Glad nobody was seriously hurt, but sad to know that in today's hip-hop game this'll become Gravy's gravy train, and we can now expect a major label debut with the recurring theme of "hit the studio with the bullet still in me!"

This page has video of Gravy getting taken to the hospital, and here's the NY Post report.

BUTT SERIOUSLY . . . RAPPER SHOT AT HOT 97

the studios of Hot 97 last night, but was still able to sit for an interview at the station, police sources said.
Jamal Wollard, 28, who goes by the rap name Gravy, was hit by one bullet as he arrived at the notorious station at about 9:30 p.m. Wollard came with an entourage of about 30 cheering people wearing T-shirts with his name on it.

When the gunfire erupted, people began screaming and running for their lives. But Gravy calmly walked upstairs to do the interview despite his wound, the sources said.

After receiving dozens of 911 calls, cops sealed off the station, looking for any victims. When they found Wollard limping around inside, they asked him what happened, and he said he had fallen, the sources said. But officers noticed blood and he was taken to St. Vincents Hospital in stable condition...

Gravy is a not-so-good mixtape artist who will now get his big shot at the majors, pun intended.

This shit is gettin' outta hand.

Dude shows up with thirty people.
Ends up shot.

No one hears anything about a skirmish.

Prior to today, I never heard of this dude.

He's shot. Now his name's in the news.

I hope these little dudes ain't gettin' themselves shot just so they can get a little shine.

Ain't that what Killa Kam s'posed to had did?

These little dudes gettin' cornier and cornier.

I mean goddam, all you gotta do is roc the mic.

Fuck is all this extra shit for?

Damn.

who the fuck is a Gravy?! & can't Snott 97 just be shut down?! these guys are ridiculous...i hate that they represent hip-hop to the masses.

i agree, seems like a big set up. getting shot is the best promo for these "rappers". BULLSHIT!

All of this type of BS will eventually force (c)rap music to implode.

I understand that rappers may capitalize off the promotion of being shot, but set it up themselves? I don't think it's that simple. People think rappers are stupid enough to trust the aim of a fellow hommie(I guess so), but hardly any of them are marksmen. Some are hits(contract killings) some are Jackings(robbery).But somtimes a rappers kids himself into thinkin he can be all in the hood where people are doing worst than you think,wearing jewls around (starving or not)criminals. lots of people want to destroy what they can't have, so the're lookin for a reason to shoot,rob,or beat the ass of anyone they have heard talk shiz. rappers face the same problems local drug dealer faces. In some ways, the hood made them rich, and gave lots of them an education from the street,but any monster you create can turn it's fury on you. As far as Gravy, his gunshot had to hurt nomatter if he went upstairs for his interview anyway or not. He just showed how hungry he really is. so stop with the f....... he got somone to shoot him shit. That Sopranos shiz was another example of how they play almost every african out on that show, except Bokeem woodbine(but they still had him dressed lik a clownpimp. Anyway, bullets tear up things that will never be the same. so wise up yall,hellavision has got the world f..... up.Don't belive everything on tv. Sonny
