This is not the first time Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, has been in the news in recent years in connection with a number of violent incidents.

He served a year in prison and was relased in August on a gun charge. He was aquitted of attempted murder the following month. He was also briefly jailed in November for failure to pay child support.

His three albums - The Truth in 2000, The Reason in 2001 and last year's The B. Coming -- each hit the top five on the Billboard album chart. Many of his songs depict guns, drugs and violence.

I'm shocked

"Less money but they would live longer."

There is a far better chance of removing these a$$holes from the gene pool-if they simply continue being the worthless thugs they are.

Semper Fi

Beanie Sigel ... shot at least once in the upper right arm.

Ask Bugsy Siegel, “It’s all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.”
