Rapper Shot / Arrested

hecklerspray reports: It's been ages since a rapper got shot, we were beginning to wonder what was up with them all. It's been reported, though, that Fabolous is in hospital after being shot in the thigh last night.

News is coming in that Fabolous is in a stable condition after an unknown gunman shot him in the thigh outside a garage in New York in the early hours of this morning. However, Fabolous and three friends have also been arrested for having two apparently unlicensed guns in their possession, but that's unimportant - we're just so glad that the rapper shooting drought has ended that we're willing to overlook the arrests, and also the fact that we don't have a bleeding clue who Fabolous actually is.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Happy Birthday Chuck

AP reports: As he turns 80 Wednesday, Chuck Berry could leave the hard work of great music to younger souls, and rest comfortably as the rock `n' roll legend who first made his mark in the 1950s.
