Apparently he was jacked up on PCP when he did this. I don't know what it is about that stuff that compells people to commit acts of extreme violence while naked.

Well, apparently CSI either did a lil ripped from the headlines, or PCP-heads do a lot of flesh eating. Sunday nights show involved one story line about a highschool guy and girl high on PCP, where the girl attacked the guy's girlfriend, and well she beat her down and did the same thing as this rapper. coincidence maybe.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD never have i heard in all my years listening to rap a song or even a lyric about eating people. What kind of retard would blame a record label for this crap?

Ever listened to Insane Clown Posse?

No...but ICP is not rap.
 
I'm not having any luck finding any of the original articles, but I remember when this was reported a year ago. IIRC, he wasn't trying to "hone his 'Gangsta' image"; he and friend were fscked up on PCP and attacked the victim. I can't be positive, but I'm pretty sure this story was the inspiration for an episode of CSI that ran sometime last fall (two students smoked a PCP-laced joint, and then attacked a third, tearing open her chest and eating some of her organs).
 
It's a a terrible thing indeed, but I find it absolutely ridiculous to believe that this was done in the name of selling records. This is an act of obvious mental disorder, how could anyone even think of claiming this was a marketing ploy?
Antron Singleton's mother, apparently.

Upon closer reading, it appears she's claiming the record company provided her son with mind-altering drugs, urging/hoping that would lead him to engage in risky/criminal behavior.

I wouldn't be surprised if record labels hook their artists up with illegal substances, etc... but for the purpose of encouraging the artists "to encourage (them) to act out in an extreme violent manner so as to make them more marketable as 'Gansta Rap' artists"?

Hmm.

So this is probably an attempt on the mother's part to pass the blame. It's never anyone's fault, it's always someone else's.
 
That is disgusting. Regardless of what celebrity status he obtains from this, he should be held accountable and punished accordingly. The record label will probably end up profiting from it though.

exactly, like i said above, that episode just happened to reair last night. it was really disturbing too, i can't believe it really happened though, that's even worse. (of course in CSI they added that the victim had ecoli, and therefore so did the attackers)

I missed that one.
 
Old news, but still extremely bizzare.

Here's a old article from BET. Link Apparently the girls boyfriend and Lurch were doing PCP.
