r&b crimes
AP headlien: "Judge gives rapper Foxy Brown 1 more chance" hmm, maybe the writer got her confused with faith evans or mary j? i just wikipedia'd that song (note: wikipedia is AWESOME for top forty crap, all the way back to the oldies) and realized she never worked with biggie.

ah. i got nothing, people. NOTHING. been transcribing all day.

my favorite news story recently, however, is how lou rawls jr. sued marvin gaye the III for like, releasing the hounds while they were chillin at marvin trey's house.

In January, 2005, "the said four large dogs attacked, bit, clawed, and physically and mentally injured the person of the Plaintiff, Lou Rawls, Jr."

According to the suit, Rawls was visiting (Gaye's) property at the time of the alleged attack. The suit claims Rawls suffered "pain, injury, loss of blood, tearing of flesh, multiple dog bite wounds, fear of disease and other and further great and considerable harm, damage, injury and loss."

i can see how this might happen. you're like, oh cool, his dad was a successful r&b singer who's dead, just like my dad. i'm sure we have a lot in common. so because of that you just forget to do the usual "is this person absolutely crazy" before you visit their house. it's understandable, but come on, lou-joo, his grandfather was a murderer, everbody knows that, so he's got the murderer gene that usually skips a generation.
