LOS ANGELES--Rap mogul Marion ''Suge'' Knight was given 10 months in prison after a parole board found that he struck a Hollywood nightclub valet.

Knight, who has been jailed since June 27, faced a maximum sentence of a year in prison for the parole violation. He has been credited for time spent behind bars, said Bill Sessa, a spokesman for the Board of Prison Terms.

The parole board heard compelling testimony during a closed hearing from the arresting officer and a witness, Sessa said.

Knight's attorney, Rose Kogeman, declined to comment after the Thursday hearing. As the head of Death Row Records in the 1990s, Knight fielded a stable of rappers that included Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur.

In September 1996, he was imprisoned for five years after being videotaped, along with Shakur and others, beating a gang rival

Suge was too stupid to be out of prison.

If you gave "SUGE" a bottle of beer, a pack of smokes and a dirty movie to watch he would think he was on vacation. I would have said a dirty book, but I'm not sure that "SUGE" can read.

rappers everywhere relax for the next 10 months.

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.

"Suge was too stupid to be out of prison."

I'd change the word "stupid" to the word "dangerous".

[Charlotte Corday]

"Suge" is probably in favor of high school kids doing hard time for file swapping.

'Suge' goes back to prison skool

[AppyPappy]

I'll stand by stupid.

[Springman]

Ping!

Imus is gone to be bummed, his buddy is going back to prison.

[Warrior Nurse]

But he can look at the pictures. I saw this guy on a panel and sure enough he told the conservative brother that he was not a real brother because he was not down with hip hop. His reponse was I am not down with hip hop because of its close association with death drugs and misogyny of women and jail which obviously you are more than qualified to talk about. Suge was ready to come to blows.

Rap mogul...

Hoodlum...

[Guillermo]

You can take him out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto...

Suge should've listened to Dean Wormer, "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life."

[JustPiper]

With Suge gone, the streets and kids are a bit safer.
