Rapper Machine Gun Kelly's Flash Mob Closes Mall


    Ohio Rapper 'Machine Gun Kelly' or MGK, was arrested Saturday for disorderly conduct after he and his 'EST' crew organized a flash mob at a mall in Ohio.  MGK is an up and coming rapper who recently signed with Diddy's Bad Boy label and has worked with 'Drama' from Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory TV show.  He recently headlined 8 Fest, a large music festival in the mid west.
    On Friday MGK tweeted "I'm thinking about doing a flash mob at a mall or something tomorrow lol cleveland should we do one while I'm home?"  Then on Saturday he tweeted "Today we flash mob NO MATTER WHAT!  5pm at SouthPark mall in the food court, wear disguises, don't move until you hear "Cleveland" play then RAGE."  That is exactly what happened as you can see by the video.
    The video is interesting to say the least.  First of all, it seems like all the people who showed up were 15 or younger.  I guess that's what you get when you organize a flash mob at a mall.  The other thing that stood out was how close a few people were from tumbling over the railing.  This guy was lucky he didn't organize his own death by staging this flash mob.
    

P.S. - For those of you who don't know what a flash mob is, here is the definition from wikipedia.  "A flash mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, or artistic expression."  Social Media, such as Facebook and Twitter, have been instrumental in organizing flash mobs.  The video below is a flash mob in Liverpool Street Station in England.
