Antron Singleton aka "Big Lurch," an up-and-coming rapper from Texas, was charged with murdering a Los Angeles woman in April, after a detective's report showed there were teeth marks on her face and lungs, which were torn from her chest, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Due to the extreme nature of the crime, Singleton was being held without bail until his arraignment on June 13.
A medical examination conducted shortly after his arrest, found flesh in Singleton's stomach that wasn't his own.
In Compton Superior Court Wednesday, Los Angeles Detective Raymond Jankowski said he found the body of the Tynisha Ysais, 21, Singleton's alleged victim, in her apartment with her chest torn open. Jankowski also reported that he found a three-inch blade broken off in the victim's shoulder blade and her lungs appeared to be chewed and torn.
"Her chest was open, exposing internal organs," Jankowski told the Los Angeles Times.
A friend of Ysais, Alisa Allen, reported that she saw Singleton naked in the street, covered in blood, staring at the sky. After contacting the police, who arrested Singleton, Allen then discovered Ysais lying dead in her apartment.
According to reports, Ysais' boyfriend admitted that he and Singleton were smoking PCP the night before the murder.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), PCP is a white powdery drug that generally causes abusers to become disturbed, delusional, violent, paranoid and fearful when it is sniffed, smoked, or eaten.
Davey D, a hip-hip activist of www.daveyd.com, said he got to know Singleton when he worked as a personality at California radio station KMEL 106.1. He said the crime that Singleton is accused of doesn't fit his personality nor is it indicative of hip-hop music. "I don't think this fits anyone's rap persona. PCP is capable of taking anyone out of their mind. This is bigger then hip-hop," he told BET.Com.
"It begs to question what is going on that so many people feel they got to take a mind altering substance to remove them from their natural mind state," he queried. "At times the world is a crazy place and this situation with Big Lurch proves that."
As Big Lurch, Singleton has rapped with popular rappers like Jive Records' artist Mystikal and E-40 of California.
How would you know what it tasted like? :P
Now the 99 percentile probably can digest this material as entertainment however reinforced by video games etc Im sure there are certain minds that believe all this crap,in this case it may be something as simple as pcps motivating a pre-existant Tyson style ganster mindset,but that 'thought' had to be pre-programmed somewhere if you look at this mans ilk their video clips all entertain violence,suicide,revenge,anger,frustration with liberal sprinklings of dark basements filled with cockroaches,Kurgan style body decorations,scantilly clad sluts which ever increasingly morph into demons or like a clip this morning I saw on tv at gym riding the bike,'Little Miss Satan' worse,even Janet jackson in one clip today has some guy on a cross and shes stroking his crotch area.
Input-Output these sorts of crimes are only going to become more common,the first amendment allows free speech but as a Bush representative said last week the government will even use Swat teams now to prevent journalists doing their job,real free speech is dead,in its place is the right to record and market mental illness in all its forms-
June 13 2003?
This is confusing. What was not his own, the stomach or the flesh. If it was the flesh I would think it was not his own
I don't think listening to any kind of music would cause someone to do this, it was the PCP.

Witness "gallows humor", the sardonic humor of the old Soviet Union's publication Krokodile (sp?), etc.
Hell, I've had my co-religionists tell me concentration camp/pogrom jokes that were actually funny! (Yes, I lost family in the Nazi genocide.)
Besides, "rap" is the signature "art" of black urban America - a CORE DEMOCRATIC constituency if ever there was one. We may joke about this idiocy, but FReepers ain't commiting the atrocities.
Yes, he did. The entire video (the whole fight, plus at least an hour of very boring court proceedings) was available at my local video store for a time. He took 2 hits from a Taser, and barely flinched. Rodney is also a very physically BIG man. IMO that is why the cops got so wound up to stop him.

Not much of a man this boyfriend of the deceased. He allowed this guy to do this to his girlfriend?
