Rap artist Busta Rhymes, seen here in June 2006, was arrested and
charged with misdemeanor assault in New York City after a man said the
recording star beat him up, police said on Thursday.
NEW YORK - Rapper Busta Rhymes was arrested after a man complained that
the hip-hop star had beaten him up in a dispute over money, police said.
Rhymes, 34, turned himself in and was booked on a misdemeanor assault
charge at a Manhattan police station Wednesday night, police Lt. John
Grimpel said. The rapper was to be taken to court Thursday, Grimpel
said.
One of Rhymes' lawyers, Scott Leemon, declined to comment.
Representatives of the Manhattan district attorney's office did not
immediately return telephone messages left at after-hours numbers.
Grimpel said a man told police that Rhymes had punched and kicked him
numerous times in a confrontation outside a lower Manhattan building on
Dec. 26. The man, whose name was not released, was treated at a hospital
after the incident, Grimpel said.
A message left Wednesday night at the New York office of Rhymes'
manager, Violator Management, was not immediately returned.
Rhymes, who was born Trevor Smith, was charged with assault after an
Aug. 12 performance at the AmsterJam Music Festival on Randalls Island.
He was ticketed in November after police said he was seen talking on his
cell phone while driving past a Manhattan police station.
Police have also sought to question Rhymes as a potential witness in the
shooting death of his bodyguard Israel Ramirez last February.
Rhymes' hits include "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See,"
"Dangerous" and "Touch It." He has also appeared in films, including
2000's "Shaft" and "Finding Forrester.""
    @Vindris: "it's rap, so of course i don't listen to it. But i tear down and twist
the knife in their backs whenever i get the chance."
    @Vindris: "some asshole will call you a racist. but i hate white rappers and i bet
you wouldn't piss on that eminem creep if he was on fire either."   
don't get me wrong, i love soul music and funk. Blues and all that, but
i can't stand to see black music's legacy perverted and suborned by rap
"music"."

    @Vindris: ""rap was fun when it was kids making tapes and doing it themselves.
magnus johnston had the first rap show in boston and it was fun. the
studio would be full of kids making funny noises and working out the
words.....but then, as always, the music companies got the idea they
could make money. 
rap went corporate, got perverted by the "gangsta" lifestyle and racism.
now it's hate music for big money. i may be guilty of being white, but i
never owned slaves or persecuted any ethnic group. but i'm hated for
being white. rap now makes me sad."
I resent being held accountable for white man's "crimes" against
non-white peoples by members of said non white peoples of the earth. I
do not see myself as "guilty" of being white. All races and ethnicites
have, in their history or their present, practiced some kind of racism,
persecution or atrocity on some other group. I have never owned slaves
or persecuted any ethnic group, myself. I detest the PC asshole
apologists that bend over backwards to "right the wrongs the white race
did to non whites in America"."
    @Vindris: ""obviously i was being sarcastic, i do not feel guilty about that. it
was also a pun. there's a good punk song called guilty of being white. 
the pc idiots are trying to homogenize and make there no differences
when the american country has always been strengthened by diversity.
stupid, stupid. but you have the essence vin...we are being attacked by
needless guilt tripping retards."
Sarcasm. Heh. Sometimes it is hard to convey or interpret more subtle
nuances when communicating by the written word. 
Not to mention it is hard for me to distinguish between serious talk and
mock serious talk that is really levity. That inability has gotten me
into serious situations sometimes, so i err on the side of caution."
    @Vindris: ""ok, i'll wave the sarcasm or joke flag as neccessary. but don't sell
yourself short. you don't miss much."   
Don't worry about it. i am actually a big fan of sarcasm and irony. your
posts, especially dealing with ufftards and the like, are enjoyable
reading."
