Four teenagers in Chicago were charged with murder after fatally beating a 16-year old honor roll student as he found himself in the middle of a brawl between two rival groups. To make matters worse, the entire incident was captured on tape while students watched and did nothing. Nas stood up and wrote a letter in response yesterday.
