Def Jam Records Rapper Lil Reese Seen
Brutally Beating Woman On Video
Warning: Video contains violence and profane language
October 27. 2012
This terrible trend of violence against women has got to stop. It is not
funny or cute. Chicago gang member Lil Reese, who has been signed to a record
deal with Def Jam and Interscope (the latter is the distributor for Glory Boys
Entertainment), is the subject of a viral video that exposes the rapper as a
woman beater. Lil Reese is seen attacking and brutally beating a young woman. As
the unprovoked attack escalates, he begins stomping on her head, in conduct that
is positively criminal.
Reese has since apologized on Twitter, after initially trying to excuse his
conduct, which is very troubling, "Everybdy makes mistakes. I
was out of charcter & ive grown sense then Dont judge me for my past i can admit
my wrongs and I apologize.#3hunna.” Reese originally stated, "The haters tryna see
a mf Dwn lol Dey gotta b broke and bored wanna upload sum s--- from years ago
damnn we winnin it’s 2 late...#3hunna.”

It's ironic that he can't see that based
on the violent video, he is the hater. The Chicago Sun Times also reported
regarding Lil Reese, "He was harshly criticized last month when a Tweet on his
account mocked the Englewood slaying of rival rapper Joseph 'Lil JoJo' Coleman,
18."
Def Jam and Interscope have become two of the sewers of the music industry,
signing thieving, profane, vicious people to record deals, who have no business
being on television or radio with that mindset. Their impact on the public,
especially pop culture, is repulsive and regrettable, but as long as the label
makes money, they simply do not care. It's a sad indictment of the music
industry and Hollywood by extension, where these artists inevitable end up and
are embraced for not listening to their conscience and routinely doing the
unthinkable.
