Damn. Following on from the last post, allhiphop.com are reporting that KiD CuDi was involved in an altercation that resulted in him being tasered and arrested by police last night!

The “Day N Night” rapper was allegedly involved in a fight while at the Reebok party in Phoenix, Arizona where much of the music industry is celebrating the NBA’s popular All-Star weekend.

According to reports CuDi, who was booked to perform, physically and verbally confronted a pair of Reebok employees because he wanted to wear a pair of Jordon trainers which did not agree with the people of Reebok (obviously!). This then led to police to get involved after which the altercation escalated and resulted in CuDi being tasered, “a move to control his behavior”. It is presumed that the rapper was then arrested but actual charges have not been publicised.

Man, what is going on with these young artists? Lol this is madness. I mean, I can only go on what has been reported (and I know, you can’t always believe what you read) but if the information above is accurate – mans gotta chill the f*ck out? Boi. Let’s see how this one develops.

Update: KiD CuDi clarifies what went down over at his blog

Peace, Love & KiD CuDi

“Buggin’ Out 09″ features on J.Periods The [Abstract] Best mixtape < anyone who claims to be a fan of Q-Tip or Tribe and hasn’t downloaded that tape yet – you’re a phony.

I really can’t be posting every “Valentines Day Mixtape/EP/Playlist” that is sitting in my inbox – coz it’s a bit much tbh. Man. But I thought this was a pretty cool idea, so it gets a spot. The homie Diego shot over this playlist which features every R&B verse Kiss has ever spit. So, if you’re in the loved up mood (or even if you’re not but just a big Kiss fan) download it and make yourself happy init.

Peace, Love & The Last Kiss…

Jay Smooth takes a break from the madness around the Rihanna/Chris Brown drama and get’s his journalistic skills flowing, interviewing Elizabeth Mendez Berry, who wrote the well-known Vibe magazine feature “Love Hurts” about domestic violence within (and without) hip-hop…

I actually remember that Vibe article. I have it. It’s a great feature and gives a good insight into the world of domestic violence and this is a great interview. I know I posted that jokes video yesterday, but of course, this is a very real problem and should be discussed openly more…

But I must say, I have to disagree with both Jay and Elizabeth when they say that Rihanna has been receiving a lot of slack about this whole situation – I mean, I can’t speak on the situation over in the US but over here in the UK (and correct me if I’m wrong) the general consensus is that Chris Brown is the biggest pu*sy going right now? I haven’t heard one person (well, at least not in my network anyways) condone what Chris did regardless of why it may have happened…

Another great, thought provoking video from the Ill Doctrine.

Peace, Love & Love Hurts

P.s HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
