Shock Shooting!
February 6th, 2006 at 9:30 am by Preston Taylor HolmesThat’s what bodyguards are for….
Shooting on set of rap video claims the life of one of Busta Rhymes’ bodyguards.
At least a dozen bullets flew after burly bodyguard Israel Ramirez got into a scuffle during the shoot in a Greenpoint film studio that also drew Missy Elliott and Lloyd Banks, a member of 50 Cent’s G-Unit. Cops were investigating whether anyone involved in the bloodshed – and the dispute that sparked it – was a member of any of the big-name rappers’ entourages, sources said last night.
Shortly before the gunfire erupted at 12:25 a.m., video crew members tried to keep the noise level under control as they shooed extras and hangers-on out of the building. That spurred one enraged self-proclaimed ex-con to shout, “Who the f–k are you to tell me to be quiet? I’m on .parole, mother—–r!
“You don’t tell me to shut up,” added the man, who sported a G-Unit jacket, witnesses said.
Fortunately for the art world, no actual rappers were killed during the incident. We cannot afford to lose any more rappers – on that we can all agree.

It wouldn’t bother me in the least if they all killed each other.

And these idiots wonder why they aren’t invited to do the half-time show at the Super Bowl, and that’s aside from the fact that their “music” sucks. Instead, we have the displeasure of being serenaded by corpse’s that go by the band name, “The Rolling Crud”…I mean, Stones.

I can always, ALWAYS count on 6MB to bring me the freshest news that hits closest to home. I’m going to warn my bodyguard to get one of his own when we go out to the Olive Garden this weekend.
