AWARD-SHOW STABBING
New York Post ^ | 11/16/04 | GERSH KUNTZMAN and PAULA FROELICH

Posted on 11/16/2004 1:27:55 AM PST by kattracks

Pandemonium broke out during the taping of Vibe magazine's award show last night, when a man was stabbed during the ceremony, sending stars fleeing from the mayhem in their limos.

The violence broke out as rapper Dr. Dre rose to accept the Vibe Legend Award from presenters Quincy Jones and Snoop Dogg, a witness at the Santa Monica event told The Post.

An unidentified man sitting with Death Row Records chief Marion "Suge" Knight lunged toward Dr. Dre with a knife — but members of rapper 50 Cent's entourage intervened, the witness said.

The witness said that the production, co-hosted by supermodel Tyra Banks and rapper L.L. Cool J — was immediately shut down and celebrities were spirited out of the ceremonies, being held at Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hanger.

"It was pure panic," the witness said. "I never saw anything like it. Those cars were flying out of here. Russell Simmons ran out of here crying."

Another witness told MTV that Knight had run onto the stage, screaming obscenities at the audience of about 1,000. Several people in the crowd were pepper-sprayed, the network reported.

Perhaps I'm just cynical, but the "hip-hop lifestyle" is all about self-promotion.

Nah, ya think? ;o)

Our youngest son went to his first high school dance last weekend. He said all they played was rap music, which he doesn't like. He talked to a couple of girls after the dance, and they said they would have preferred different music as well. I told him to let the Student Activities Council know. This is an all boys school, and I'm sure they want to make sure the girls like the music and keep attending their dances. ;o)

I have never understood how parents can let their kids become like those in this picture. Why have their parents let them go so far astray? Do these boys not have fathers?

My money says this so-called "stabbing" was staged for purely for publicity purposes at the VIBE awards.

You must not know anything about Suge Knight.

These gangstas were "keepin' it real" by posing with their Chevrolet Tahoe and Honda ATV that they bought with money earned on the tough streets of Darien, Connecticut. Then they be out lookin' for hoes and bustin' caps in chumps that be dissin'.

Shortly after these photographs were taken, Geoffrey W. Pingleton, a well-known cardiologist and Susan Bradford Pingleton, general counsel for Microsoft, called their three sons on their cellular telephones and told them not to be late for dinner later that same evening .

Oh, sure. More than one, typically. :)

Arafat crews start shooting each other and now Vibe crews starts sticking each other.

They are killing each other . How can that be such a "bad thing"?

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

This is black america's vision of leadership. Its no wonder that blacks voted 90% for John Kerrry. Black America needs to start looking at themselves for why they are underachieving - nor more blaming the rest of America for their failures.

Well, the 18yr old is hell-bent on living this way, so I gave him his 'freedom' a few days ago, with a #13 petite boot to help show him the door. Let's see how cool this lifestyle is after a few months ...

Good for you. A tough love Dad?

Blessings and good luck, my prayers are with you.

Why can't these thugs do anything right? This is a disgrace. The MTV crowd at it's best(worst). When MTV camo on, blacks complained there weren't any balck videos. Now, when the DO play vids, that's pretty much all you see. The ones done by whites are done by whithe thug wannabes. Rap is the worst kind of all the kinds of B--lS--t ever! Compare this travesty of a production to the country awards shows. Absolutely NO comparrison.
