'Suge' Knight released from Las Vegas jail

Marion "Suge" Knight has been in and out of jail, busted for carrying drugs, cops found him on top of his girlfriend with a knife beating the living daylights out of her ...... he obviously has no appreciation for the opportunities that have been garnered in his life. He keeps throwing everything away doing stupid, assine stuff as this article states. His soul is perverted and corrupt and he seriously needs some professional mental and emotional help before he ends up in prison for life.

I have no respect for someone who uses his fists against anyone smaller than himself. Marion is an abusive druggie and deserves to be in jail for the maximum time allowed for the latest crime he was busted for. He can use his fist to beat on some of his fellow inmates who are equal if not more than his large size.

Oh no - another Hip-Hop/Rap king bites the dust... Personally, I applaud it, and am thankful that the cops just happened upon the scene when the bulk, (and I use that word loosely) of the attack occurred against the poor girl he was living with for the last three years. It's not mentioned in this story, but in VH-1's account of the incident, "Suge" punched her in the face while driving down the road, and she responded by grabbing the wheel, and forced the SUV they were riding in off the road, and into a ditch, where she jumped out of the car, and ran down the street where she caught up with her, and was sitting on top of her beating face with one hand, and a knife in the other when the cops drove up.

When are people going to get it through their head that this kind of outlaw music breeds violence, and more or less provides a road map for young men of not only black, but all races, on how to treat their women? Issac Hayes, a soul pioneer whom we recently lost, and widely considered the father of modern Rap, never approved of the way the Rap community has conducted themselves musically over the years, and came down on them hard when he accepted his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in his induction speech. He eloquently begged them as a community to stop writing about violence and using offensive and aggressive language, which eventually the children of this nation all begin to listen to, and mold their attitudes toward society through as they grow into teenagers and young men. And the beat goes on...

"Suge" Knight is just another example of what the majority of guys who listen to this music amount to eventually. They have no one to blame but themselves for losing their freedoms when they act this way. They disrespect the law, their women, and society in general, and think the world owes them their respect, when really they've done nothing to gain it, except behave in a threatening, and aggressive manner towards their fellow brothers, and sisters.

I'd like someone to show me an example of something beneficial that Rap has done for society in general, (with the exception of the award winning superstar studded "Sun City" project, headed up by Little Steven Van Zandt in 1985). That album's message led to the black people of South Africa in gaining their freedom from tyrannical white rule just a few short years after it's release, and he was given an award by the head of the United Nations for his work leading to that feat. The artists on that album actually had a good reason to be angry in their words and attitudes, and it served the residents of South Africa well. I could be wrong, but I don't think I've seen anything noble, or even remotely positive come out of modern Rap music today. And certainly not from this story on "Suge" Knight...

I totally agaree with Mugsy's comments. It would be nice if rap (which is rarely *musical*...sorry, but talking with canned drums doesn't get it with me) would focus on the good in man, and not promote violence and hatred. Perhaps Mr. Knight will find out what it's like to be on the receiving end when he's incarcerated. What bites is knowing our taxes have to feed and clothe him while he's there.
