Having just taken two pistol rounds to the head at point-blank range, The Last Mr. Bigg was sure he was going to die. Nevertheless, as paramedics attempted to cut off his red mink coat, he pleaded with them not to ruin the jacket. He didn't realize that it was already soaked through with his own blood. The 2004 attack may sound like something out of one of his songs. Bigg, born Donald Pears Jr., is one of the biggest rap stars to come out of Mobile. He spent eight days in a coma. He lost his right eye, part of his brain and nearly his life. The eye was later replaced with a prosthetic, centered with a diamond iris.
In what looks to be the first case of an artist being jailed for making a record, California rapper C-BO was arrested Tuesday night on charges that his lyrics violate the terms of his parole. As we first reported last month (see "Rapper's Lyrics May Violate Parole"), those conditions dictated that he "not engage in any behavior which promotes the gang lifestyle, criminal behavior, and/or violence towards law enforcement." Spokespeople at the California Department of Corrections contend that the rapper's lyrics manage to violate all of those conditions, which they say the rapper agreed to upon his release from prison last summer after a weapons conviction. Authorities say that C-BO's lyrics threaten specific political leaders as well as the police in general, like on the track "Deadly Game" on which C-BO raps, "You better swing, batter, batter swing/'Cause once you get your third felony,/Yeah, 50 years you gotta bring/It's a deadly game of baseball/So when they try to pull you over/shoot 'em in the face, ya'll."
No I rather listen to talented rappers who speak from experience, instead of punks readin' lyrics tryin' to act tough.So you'd rather listen to less-talented rappers who happen to be criminals rather than talented rappers who aren't?
