Especially interesting in light of the recent furor over Emenem's song about (fantasies of) killing his wife. The media wrote it up
like that sort of thing was new and shocking in the music scene. Hell, Johnny Cash did that thirty years ago with his song "Delia's
Gone". That's actually a relatively common theme in music, esp. in Blues and Country music. And maybe rap too, although I'm not
enough of a fan of that genre to say.

The first time I shot her
I shot her in the side
It was hard to watch her suffer
But with the second shot she died

Delia's gone
One more round
Delia's gone
