Yung Joc On His Arrest

yungjoc4.jpg

Five days after he was arrested at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport for having a loaded handgun, Grammy-nominated Atlanta rapper Yung Joc (born Jasiel Robinson) has issued a statement, through his attorney, Stanley Jackson Jr., about the incident:

“I have the utmost respect for the laws of this country and would never deliberately commit an act that would jeopardize my freedom, my family or my career. I’ve worked very hard to achieve my goals, and it’s unfortunate that this current situation has garnered more attention that the many donations I’ve made and the charitable work I’ve done with various organizations.

“I’m proud to be a citizen of America, where we are taught to believe that every person is afforded the presumption of innocence. That being said, I have full respect for the judicial system and its due process. I look forward to resolving this situation and moving forward to a positive and prosperous 2008. Best wishes to you and your families in the new year. Thank you.”

Throughout the week Joc has enjoyed support from local radio station personalities such as Hot-107.9’s Akini “The Black Mack” (whose weekly talent show at the Royal Peacock served as a launching pad for Joc) and V-103’s Frank Ski.

Ski actually insinuated on the air that Joc may have wanted protection as it was near Cincinnati, in May of last year, that Atlanta rapper-actor T.I.’s longtime friend Philant Johnson was killed in a drive-by shooting. Joc was opening for T.I. .

Are you in agreement with Ski? Did this arrest seem out of character to you, considering Joc’s general persona as a fun-loving rapper? Or is this just further evidence, in your opinion, of celebs out of control?

It’s further evidence of (c)rappers out of control … and further evidence of the ludicrous tendency of people like Ski to rush to these cretins’ defense, just because of their race … and further evidence of an ominous, and growing, incompatibility between black hip-hop “culture” and mainstream America. The inevitable backlash may not be pretty.

WHY ON EARTHare you blacks so messed up? I am pretty sure I would know if I had a LOADED GUN in my bag. Then, even though he did it, the thug loving radio stations SUPPORT him. Unreal! Just like the Vick thing. I hope his as(s) sits in jail for a long time but as we all know, the thugs get special treatment in court. Keep killing each other though and the world will be a better place someday.

Yup, there are messed up white people for sure. However how many black presidents have we had? Of all the famous actors what percent are black? 5%? How many black doctors do you ever see? How many black CEO’s do you see? How many black head coaches and team owners do you see? Simply stated, the thugs are just uneducated morons for the most part. Look at downtown Atlanta from the 20’s to the 60’s. Safe, fun, white. Now look at it. Thanks thugs!

Currently YOU CAN NOT TAKE GUNS ON PLANES..that’s the law. If you need bodyguards you hire them. Being an entertainer is the same as being a police officer, you are paid to entertain. No entertainer is above the law (black or white) If you have concerns about where you may do a show then maybe you should not do that show in that city. This is not rocket science……
T.I (God Bless him) had guns and accessories(silencers)that the average person would not be able to buy legally Let’s be very realistic here

Alex,

The main reason there has NEVER been a black president and there are few black coaches and no black owners is because of folks like you and your family members…with that klan-like mentality. This will continue until the end of time because the “klan-like” mentality is taught from generation to generation, but BELIEVE ME, you and your kind will suffer in the END!! Karma is undefeated, ask Arthur Blank!! But that’s nothing compared to what folks like you will receive in the End…the very near future.

FYI: Myself and most black people I know have black family doctors and dentists…stop watching FOX news and listening to “Klan” radio shows..lol

Why, when there are so many talented rappers in Atlanta, do no-talent morons like Yung Joc and Soulja Boy get so much coverage from this paper?

Hip hop is a positive culture… unfortunately the mainstream media chooses to report on the talentless morons who are corrupting this culture with their behavior both inside and outside of the studio.

Let me say to everyone who’s commented that all of you are forgetting about the bigger issues here. The fact of the matter is that “stars” have gotten in trouble in all genres of music from rap to rock and roll. The color doesn’t matter here. We should really take a look at the music industry as a whole and the lack of variety in the music period that has created these false images of rock stars and thugs. Wake up ALL!!!

You Americans should worry about illegal immigration, outsourcing and terrorism. The haters of America don’t care about race. A black American and white American may be working for a Chinese company. Also, black and white Americans are losing construction jobs to illegals. Finally, the rich and wealthy love to divide the masses and keep them occupied with stupid race stuff.

Blacks are quick to play the race card. If a black man commits a crime, he was a scapegoat. If a white person commits that same crime, Al Sharptongue wants him to serve the maximum time behind bars. Tell me THAT isn’t racism!!! I’m sick of blacks and their entitlement attitudes. If you don’t like the way you are treated, I’ll pay for your one-way ticket back to Africa, where you claim to be from.

The white folks here are right… white kids have great role models to look up to in the musical community. Just look at Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Britney Spears, Courtney Love, etc. If only rappers could behave themselves like these pillars of society.

Of course none of this changes the fact that Yung Joc is a pathetic talentless excuse for a rapper who only sells because the (mostly white) marketing directors at record labels and radio stations want him to sell.

Troy,

Why don't you bring your black ass to a public place without a gun or your posse, and I'll say everything you wanna hear straight to your face. I'll even say it to you and your posse. You just seem to think your whole race is so big and bad. How about you drop the weapons and fight like a man, instead of a quick pull of the trigger. Your race does nothing but spike crime rates and ruin property value. It's Oprah and Barrack Obama that keep the "we people" mentality. No wonder there hasn't been a black president, cause you won't take care of the whole, just your poor sorry race. Act more like Bill Cosby and realize your faults and make a positive change on society, and THEN you might see a mutual respect for your whole race. And what about the black girl that basically ruined the lives of those three Duke lacross players? Don't see white people bitching about that and wanting things they don't deserve. She should be in jail for what she did. Just like 90% of the "patheitc leaches of society" black race. How about ya'll EARN something instead of wanting it given to you.

That cat from Ireland was 100% on point. We (America) are under attack. We (America) need to figure out what is important. Let’s solve our own personal incompetence’s. Entertainers are not the leaders of our country. They are only as popular and powerful as we make them. They are human, sometimes very stupid like us all. The only difference is their mistakes are broadcast 24 hours a day. This young man has made a terrible mistake, very similar to the young ladies in Hollywood bouncing cars off each other with illegal substances in their possession. The young ladies robbing banks made a terrible choice just as the young men do in many urban environments do. I could care less what Joc, Lohan, Kelly, Hilton, Benoit, Vick or Heatley do, they are entertainers. If you break the law, you face the consequences. Just make sure it’s an equal playing field.

So of u people are crazy for your comments. I work in the music business and i’ve seen plenty of rock acts and pop acts do crazy stuff and no one said nothing. I know joc and he is far from a thug. Lets me put it this way (for those that look at tv) Joc made 10 million this year, now how many artist roc pop r&b country u seen on tv packing their own sh%t to go do a show, none of them they all have asst / helper that its their job to pack and load the stuff. He made it to ohio fine with problem. He could truely not have knew it was there and the help put it there. Think T.I had the help set him up, it always take a inside person to set up something to bring someone down. Joc being that stupid to do that is like saying I seen Ludacris in a middle school with 3 guns and a long black coat. Dumb right. Give that guys is fair chance b4 u go feeding him to the wolfs. Im a lover of all music i love john myer to death but if it would have been him with a gun in his bag, we may have not heard about it, or it would have been Oh it was the wrong bag, him and another person got the same bags he picked up the wrong bag, let him go. And the person that said they’re all thugs is ignorant half of them went to college, never really stayed in the hood but rap about what that white label owner pay them to write about. Again i love john myer, james blunt, justin, toby keith, country , hip hop, and pop but they want bash them, unless they have to much hip hop feel to their music. So i guess, justin, robin thicke, kid rock, EM, fergie, brintey, gwinn, and other white acts with hip-hop in their music are thugs also with high price cars. Do get mad cause u don’t have the talent and u ride marta or drive a ford focus

The intelligence demonstrated in the actions of Yung Joc and those on this blog are the reasons Atlanta is going down the toilet.

Nobody wants to locate a business or live in a crime-ridden town where drive-by shootings and bank robberies are the town’s claim to fame.

True donations and charitable work are not done to garner attention and cannot be used as a GET OUT OF JAIL CARD when needed Since Mr. Joc brought it up that is evidence in and of itself that those deeds were not charitable, but to be used when needed.

Oh the poor black man gets done wrong again. Blame all the problems in his pathetic little life on white people. I’m sure the NAACP will jump to his defense soon enough. What a frekin joke. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for yourselves. If you messed up, admit it pay the price, and move on. It makes me sick to my stomach that a group of people(“African” Americans) rely on the government for housing, food, education,transportation,(I could go on and on) yet when they don’t get what they want or get into trouble, it’s because the “white” man did not treat them fairly. The funny thing about this blog is the people defending young joke. I bet they are sitting at a library using a government computer, right up the road from their government apartment, waiting on the government bus to bring their kids home from the government school. The black man that has chose to be responsible for his on life, and worked hard to better himself, he is as embarrassed as white georgians that we have to claim sorry bas-tards like this. Now put that in your blunt and smoke on it for a while. The truth shall make you free.

The black man that has chose to be responsible for his on life, and worked hard to better himself, he is as embarrassed as white georgians that we have to claim sorry bas-tards like this. Now put that in your blunt and smoke on it for a while. The truth shall make you free.

From what I read, this blog was about someone bringing a weapon on a plane and radio stations supporting him. It has broken down to name calling at it’s lowest level. I’m from the North, love to visit Atlanta, and have been reading blogs from all over the country. I can say this without blinking an eye: ATLANTA, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!

Good job DD! Show that black pride! Be proud that you think white people only support blacks in sports! You puppet! Go aroung believing that sports and entertainment is the only way for “negros” to rise up! Actually I prefer blacks who choose a better way, like my childrens pediatrician. I’m sure your comments are exactly what Dr. King had in mind when he dedicated his life to better yours. I’m sure he’d be proud!!!!HAHAHA, yeah right.

P.S. white people have done things wrong for years… We just don’t have a group of whackos(NAACP) saying it wasn’t our fault. Get an education and a life.

I wonder how ridiculous we must all look in God’s eyes considering he made us all in HIS image and decided on our skin color because of the region of the earth in which we orginate from. Please understand that upon death your body or “earth suit” will be commited back to the dirt (from which it came) and all of this race crap won’t mean a thing to you. The only thing that will matter is whether your soul will be committed to heaven or hell. Let’s end all this racism crap. It’s almost 2008 and reading this blog would have one believe this is 1908.

I have read all of your comments, and they are extremely inappropriate, but I have to say one thing …Satan has most of you hooked. Most of you are calling each other names and have become irascible over one dimension—RACE. Why? Race isn’t what matters! It’s what you have made important because you refuse to look inside and concentrate on your own impurities and imperfection. I am black, but I never think of myself as that way …not because I am ashamed of my skin color (there is nothing wrong with any skin color)and not because I am married to a white man (I’ve been married to the same beautiful sweet black man for 2 years and we’ve been together for 4 years). I choose not to focus on the color of man, but the heart of man. It is our heart and our actions that will be judged. If more people were concerned about the state of their eternal lives, no one would have time to be hateful. The ability to do evil lies not within every color, but within every heart.

You are all (well, most of you) nuts! No race has a monopoly on stupidity. For every Hitler there is a Baby Doc, for every Stalin there is an Idi Amin or a Mao or a Pol Pot. Until you can admit that we are facing societal problems that go far beyond race we will never get beyond race.

Laws exist for a reason and we are all, regardless of race, expected to obey them. If Cincinnati is a city that Joc feels is too dangerous to visit, don’t go. But don’t expect to violate federal law and go unpunished. Or don’t fly if you can legally carry a weapon and want to do so.

By the way I am neither black nor white. I am an unhyphenated American. We have young men and women of every race, creed, color, and religion fighting side by side in faraway lands. And each one of them is a hero and they are all my brothers and sisters.

I agree with de - this is foolish and stupid…

however in 2008 there will be a Bill that will be introduced (in Georgia)for everyday citizens to be able to carry handguns in public places including colleges and broader settings (WOW) can you imagine every angry nut(black, white or whoever) running around here with a gun?!

This Bill will be introduced by a White male (Thug?) - who feels everyone has the right to own a fire arm and strap it to thier hip

  • Hello - this is is not a hip hop problem this is an American hypocrisy (HYPE-OCRACY) problem - you can have a gun as long as we ok it… you don’t have a problem with little Billy out in the country shooting deer, rabbits and squirrels (where’s PETA on that one?)

  • granted they’re not hunting each other but everyday there’s a kid with a gun in America - oh BTW - didn’t Dick Chaney shoot his friend and DID NOT GET ANY JAIL TIME for it?????!!!! Did I miss something? (LET SOMEBODY BLACK SHOOT THEIR FRIEND - (5 to 10 BABY!)

  • hell we all might need to strap on in a minute - hip hoppers on one side - NRA - right wing republicans on the other

and the middle class in the middle sucking our thumbs thinking that everything is going to solve itself -

WAKE UP People we live in a hedonistic - self absorbed soceity that is so messed up we would rather throw our children away in the prison industrial complex (free labor/privitized industry) than to sit down with them and guide them to be productive citizens

Why is it that everytime a black man gets in trouble, he is a thug, Ni@@#R or worse? The fact of the matter is that everyone is not alike and given this f***#& up society, no one is perfect. I can assure you can look at every race and see something stupid someone has done. When is everyone going to realize that America is a melting pot and almost everyone has some kind of other race embedded in them? This country is currently the most hated one in other parts of the world - no matter what race you are because of stupid statements people like the ones here are making. I too am a black man and proud of my race, I pay my taxes, go to church and most of all respect myself and treat everyone fair as I would expect the same from everyone else. You people (black and white) need to take a look at yourselves and see who is really the messed up one here. Everyone wants to throw stones at the other race when something goes wrong. Take a look at most newspapers, online articles and you will obviously see that EVERY RACE HAS ITS PROBLEMS and this does not make one race better than the other. One of the greatest books written states that “you do not have to catch the ball just because someone is throwing it to you” which is what you are doing. Don’t stoop to someone else’s level just because they are name calling. Let them be the dumba@@#$ here.

THE BEAUTY OF GUN TOTING AMERICANS

Angry patron shoots up Hooters

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — A customer who was upset over his tab fired several shots into a Hooters restaurant, leaving a manager and another patron in critical condition Saturday, police said.

Police were searching for the man, who left on foot just after midnight, Lt. Kenny Miller said.

Managers asked the man to leave after he refused to pay his bill, according to Miller. The man went outside and started firing shots from a .40-caliber handgun at the building, Miller said.

A customer leaving the restaurant and a manager inside were in critical condition Saturday at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

I am going to rear him to know if he works hard and is positive he can achieve REAL HAPPINESS (self respect, self worth, and confidence) which many of you bloggers don’t seem to have. Instead of pointing the finger and judging people who you don’t know…why not mentor a disadvantaged youth.

This comment is directed towards Chris who responded to the blog as “YOU BLACKS”. I think that this is a racist comment. Obviously, everybody in this world makes mistakes regardless if you are white or black. However, the judicial system is not unfair with some of the judgments that are being rendered. Yung Joc probably made a mistake..but who knows what happen in his case. The same for Mike Vick..he did a crime..so therefore he is doing time. But my comment to Chris, is that when you see these celebrities like Britney Spears not being an unfit mother, nobody sees the “hurt” in that. Paris Hilton getting locked for 48 days for DUI, or Lindsey Lohan spending all of 84 minutes in jail. Nobody sees the “hurt” in that. Please get real Chris…do some research before you start judging these “BLACKS”.

Bottom line is NOT ALL PEOPLE are racists. NOT ALL PEOPLE hate others just because they are a different color. As far as the STUPID, IGNORANT, REPETITIVE comments I read before I stopped, I realized the world isn’t in it’s shape because blacks AND whites do stupid things but because some of you behave worse than my daughter’s 1st grade class. I can’t believe the back & forth banter that goes on between people who profess to be adults. Grow up people!! We have to live in this world together. Therefore, we should do all we can to make the best of what we have. It doesn’t matter WHO OFFS WHO in races. Point is, every race should be more prideful and respectful of EVERYONE around them.

Some of you people who say they are doing this to him just because he is black, would be outraged if he were of Arab descent with an Islamic name. You’d say, “This man must go to jail! He can’t try and get on a plane with a gun.” Although this is a common mistake that a white NFL coach and Martin Lawrence did, it doesn’t mean it isn’t STUPID. If someone is going to take the risks associated with carrying a gun, they’ll have to take the consequences of the punishment associated with being irresponsible with that gun, mistake or not.

I refuse to call my wife, my mother my sister or daughter the H word or the B word. We got to learn to respect ourselves. Crime comes in all shapes and form and no one is prone from it.

Stop making it about black or white! When will people get over this color crap?! All races have ignorant people, evil people in them just like all races have good people in them. I am black/Puert Rican but that doesn’t make me ghetto, or a thug or anything negative like that. I grew up in a mostly white area and guess what? White people there did criminal acts too. I could have turned out to be a negative person but I didn’t because I made a choice NOT to be. I set my destiny because I am choosing the Right Path for my life. So Chris don’t accuse all blacks and for the others who call people like me and de house n_ you don’t even know what that means. Just because we want better lives and don’t want to be stereotyped doesn’t make us sellouts. It makes us smart.

First and foremost, Frank Ski is one of, if not the most ignorant person I ever heard speak. He is one that voices uneducated, opinionated statements and sticks by them like it was the gosepel. He’s a good DJ in the club though, lol.

As you 3 of my most fav entertainers, I really dont know what to say. I guess if I had the kind of money they have, I would be tempted to do stupid s** too. Where shall I start? I guess in the order that they get in trouble, huh. I love MV7 as an athlete. I would also love to see him back in a Falcon uniform. I also don’t have nothin against him liking dog-fighting. All I got to say is if you are a high profile person, you cannot engage in stuff that America finds intolerable. You just can’t. Especially as a black man. Which is also a testimony of the type of people he hangs around with. No one thought that since Mike was a Pro football playa that he shouldn’t be affiliated w/ that type of stuff. Dumb asses. So that’s Vick.

T.I…..I really like him as an artist. He claims to be a westside veteran, Zone 1, like myself (West Fulton HS, what u know about that). But I have to question T.I about some the the things he gets himself into. On of his songs make references to him getting into continued trouble and being in possession of handguns saying, “But you a 7 times felon, what u doing with that”. That’s what I’m saying……..What u doing bruh? I’m not trippin, if you got silencers and all dat, I don’t want you on the streets. But u still my folks. Yung joc. Dont know much about him other than when he came out he claims to not participate in illegal activities then I heard a song where he “gettin bricks for the low-low”. LOL. I dont know what to say. If having money makes you do stupid s**, then I will remain amongst the working class. BE EASY.

Another note:

These blogs can be very deceptive …

I have experienced bloggers using my name to post comments and the same blogger using another name to respond to the initial comment that HE/SHE posted, giving the appearance of a discussion when it is actually a “staged” discussion.

Moral of the story:

Don’t get pulled into the hype and the nonsense - look beyond the smokescreen.

Wow…yet another piece of ghetto trash arrested for foolishness. You blacks are so ridiculous. This city is nothing more than a cesspool of pimps, criminals, and thugs. Coons- all of you!

TruthHurts,

Don’t go back to your trailer - your mama has another black man in bed with her.

OK … I apologize for my “coon” comments. Totally out of line. I love black people.

Lastly, it kills me when white folks come in here throwing their racist 2 cents into the convo. They talk real big when its over the computer.

Whatever jungle animals! How many out of wedlock babies will your people produce in 2008? I’m sure it will be worse than 2007. Have fun on the street corner, shooting dice and each other tonight.

That’s okay, TruthHurts,

The first step to rehab is to admit that you have a problem.

Thanks Bozo,

In the spirit of the holidays, I think I am going to send a donation to the N.A.A.C.P.

No more racist comments from me!

TruthHurts,

You are such a sell-out …

You give white racists a bad name. Drink some more Jack Daniels and then we can talk.

I gotta say …

I’m white - and most of the white people that I know are racist - and ugly too.

Hey Patty Poop, Gary Dick, Peanut, and TruthHurts,

Why don’t you take your garbage to another blog - like the racist Falcons blogs?

Let’s get back on subject here … this blog is about Young Joc - a great African-American role model and scholar.

Yeah, Young Joc,

Another spear-chucking, boot-licking, nappy-headed, darkie in trouble. Who cares?
