Everyone's entitled to their opinion.

Their biggest mistake is thinking anybody cares.

Related to the subject... Why is it that rappers seems to be associated with gangs and other types of criminal activity? Other musicians don't do stupid stuff like that, why do rappers? I mean, rappers have been killed in drive-by shootings, they carry weapons themselves (just recently, Eminem settled out of court a case where he beat up a guy with a (unloaded) pistol) etc. etc. It all seems so goddamn fake to me.

Hee hee - good luck! Betcha they have found a way to waste most of the millions they inherited from Biggie, and this is their way of going back to the well to make even more money off him. I hope they don't get a dime.

Somewhat related, there was an article in a recent Sports Illustrated regarding NBA stars and their entourages which sometime include people with a criminal record. It's all about staying true to your roots. They don't want be called sellouts by the people that the grew up with.

not to mention most rap labels have a president associated with a major gang. kinda hard to avoid it.

I believe the suit is with merit, and I hope they do win. I guess a lot of you dont remember the big LAPD C.R.A.S.H. unit scandal / coverup/ etc from a few years ago. The head honcho of these rogue cops orchestrated BIGs death. The LAPD was even considered to be a potential target of the RICO laws because they were acting in such an illegal manner.

Yes, the LAPD deserves to be sued. If you would watch VH1s behind the music, the LAPD covered for some dirty cops that were involved with biggie's death. When other cops started questioning the PD about it, they were ignored. I hope that biggie's mother wins the suit.

What a load of crap. What, do they want the LAPD to give everyone a f*cking police escort anywhere they go?

First off, I sincerely hope you don't turn to VH1 for all your news. Second, if the LAPD was involved in the shooting, they should be persuing criminal charges against the offending officers. Instead, they filed civil charges, revealing they are just trying to profit from his death. And don't give me any B.S. about police cover ups making it impossible to file the criminal charges, because if this were the case there would be no way to prove it in civil court, either. They are just trying to slander the cops and land themselves a big payday.

BTW, how stupid do they look by crying out that a rival gang was after B.I.G. I mean, I seriously doubt B.I.G. had his own gang to protect him.

Is Snoop in a gang?

[XMan]

They don't want be called sellouts by the people that the grew up with.

"not to mention most rap labels have a president associated with a major gang. kinda hard to avoid it. "

yeech how many times you hear of 'benefit rap concert' or 'benefit basketball game by rappers' where something goes wrong.
the rappers and their crew and those that show up to see them, some of them, just get waaay to carried away.
yeah, hey some peeps who make it big were 'questionable' before they got big, borderline shady characters, just losers that make it big and cash in from it. they needed to 'cut a record.' and once they do, then they just bathe in their wealth and flaunt it and pimp it - sooo tacky.

They know they need to get 1 cd that sells, just one, and once you get the money it's time to live large party time, do other things such as switch to the backoffice - such as open their record company and make money off the next one that wants to cut a record or get into producing or whatever. It's mind boggling how many 'indepedent' labels have sprawn up, and recording studios, in urban areas, everybody and their mother wants to be the next hot rapper.
What you don't hear from their mouths is any desire to have musical longevity and or develop and grow as people and music artists.

I do like rap, I do listen to some, not all, but I won't buy hiphop cds.

<< The suit alleges that, prior to the killing, the LAPD "knew or reasonably should have known" that an atmosphere of violence >>



Well, gee, duh. EVERYBODY knows about the atmosphere of violence. These guys are/were gangsters and thugs. They should REWARD the LAPD for letting them knock each other off.
