Rap World Mourns....Again

These two traveled twenty-eight-and-one-half-miles to meet their demise:

  • The men murdered as they left a late-night bar and restaurant in Edgewater early Saturday were a purported leader of a notorious street gang and a fellow rapper, records show.

    Rachaun “Munna Duke” Vance, 31, and Derrell “YoungginFromDaJetz” Givens, 28, were killed in a targeted hit when at least two gunmen opened fire on them as they left Porkchop, 6331 North Broadway, around 1:20 a.m Saturday, officials said. A 36-year-old man was also shot, but survived.

Must not be any good eating in the hood?

And we'll guess that the only person that will pay any price for this is....the restaurant?

  • The city has forced an Edgewater restaurant with a late-night liquor license to close following a weekend shooting that left two men dead and a third man injured outside the venue.

    Porkchop, 6341 North Broadway, and Meet & Whiskey, a business with the same address, were issued a summary closure on Sunday, Ald. Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth (48th) said.

The restaurant had been closed once before by the Department of Health for violations, but we don't see how the owners could have foreseen two gangster rappers would choose their hole-in-the-wall eatery to get killed while leaving. And in this still recovering economy, why not put another six or eight people out of work?

CWB also reports one of the dead had just had a Class X Armed Habitual charge dropped which almost assuredly led to rivals exacting some street justice. 

If only the system hadn't failed them....

Loyola owns the property and was prob looking for a reason to void the lease and tear it down. I’m sure Loyola didn’t put up to much of a fight.

Love the names.

Rap is to music as cancer is to society.

Although Porkchop and Meet & Whiskey have the same address and the same owners, Meet & Whiskey - which is advertised as a speakeasy - has a separate entrance. Patrons are advised to go through the alley just off Devon and look for the red light. The remarks on the neighborhood apps say the restaurant isn’t bad, but the speakeasy attracts an extremely rough crowd.

This place hosts private parties that attract problems. It's owned by Loyola, so they will probably close soon. The Jesuits can't have people getting killed on the border of campus.

It’s a stone’s throw from Loyola University and used to be a bar/restaurant that catered to college kids. That place closed for awhile and has seen a few rotations of places, but honestly who cares, a lot of these kids are enamored with the “hood” lifestyle and music and there was no shortage of these kids at Loyola who were on the St. George Floyd/defund the police train.

But if it’s McDonald’s on state and Chicago it stays open after a mass shooting even though the city under Lori did the same license nonsense.
The problem is the demographic. The problem is not the business. Chicago has a demographic crisis.

The obituary by "FatFat Banks, the mother of Vance’s child" [is that seriously her Government Name?] reposted by CWB is the sort of thing which would've seemed too ridiculously extreme for 'Idiocracy' back in 2006. Yet here we are in 2025, parents "communicating" via cartoons which fall short even of the nuances of hieroglyphs made... 5,000 years ago.

How many different tax-funded benefits did Vance, Givens, & "FatFat Banks" receive from over the course of their lives? [public housing in O Block or Section 8? LiHeap? EBT/food stamps? Free cellphones? Free CTA cards?]

Did Vance or Givens ever apply for a FOID or CCL?
Ever charged for not having either?
(Asking for a friend)

How many jobs have they each actually held & filed W2s for?
How many checks will FatFat collect on the child she had with Vance?


What's the over/under on that kid making it to 18 without getting shot?

Way back when, this was Hamilton's (closed 2012). It was a great college bar no major issues (at least the mid/late 80's). But, Loyola wants what it wants & did not want a bar there. Of course, in 2014, Loyola opened up Ireland's in the Damen Student Center. Had to get rid of the competition.

Speaking of north side shootings, what is happening with the Biden Open Borders illegal who shot the Orthodox Jewish guy and tried to shoot CPD officers over near Devon? The shooter is from Mauritania. How do you get to west Rogers Park from Mauritania? Fly to Paris, then fly to Mexico City, then ride or walk to the Border? An expensive trip. Who paid for and organized the travel? How did he get the gun? Hope someone on the fed side is trying to find out.

Probably some liberal religious organization. The Catholic Church is known to support illegals with money and shielding them. They take money from the parishioners to support social justice causes while having high tuition for law abiding taxpayers and paying their teachers like $hit.

I get it if you don’t know it won’t hurt you, but that restaurant is a piece of shit place. Always problems for the area from the hood, yea the hood. And the restaurant should have known it was coming as another shooting occurred a couple of weeks ago involving patrons from pork chop that went to the hookah bar afterwards. Good riddance. Close that shit hole up. Was on par to be called brothers palace deux.
