Life Imitating Art?

OK, I'm surprised no one has said this yet, but this shooting in the butt the other day of a rapper named Gravy outside Hot 97's studio seems very similar to an episode of The Sopranos from just a few weeks ago, where Bobby Bacala was speaking with a rapper whose work he admired. When the rapper said that he could never have the popularity that some others have gained because they were shot and survived, Bacala quietly went and shot the guy in the butt.
