V. Barbarino Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Police spokesman: 'It was somewhat chaotic in there'Tuesday, November 16, 2004 Posted: 7:58 AM EST (1258 GMT)SANTA MONICA, California (AP) -- A fight broke out near the stage at the Vibe awards ceremony as rapper Snoop Dogg and producer Quincy Jones were preparing to honor Dr. Dre., and one person was stabbed, authorities and witnesses said.Dozens of people sitting near the stage Monday inside a hangar at the Santa Monica Municipal Airport began shoving each other as the show wound down about 7:30 p.m., a photographer who covered the event for The Associated Press said.News video showed chairs being thrown, punches flying, people chasing one another and some being restrained.It was unclear if the stabbing preceded or followed the fight. The victim, a 26-year-old man, was taken to a hospital and was listed in stable condition.No arrests were made.Witness Frank Williams told KCAL-TV that Dr. Dre was involved in the brawl."I saw Dr. Dre fighting somebody," Williams said. "I don't know if he was fighting back. But there was a guy taken out basically bloodied."Andrea Ferguson, employed by a public relations firm that worked with Vibe for the awards ceremony, called the incident a "disruption" but declined to provide details. She added the show was allowed to continue but it was halted for about five minutes.Dr. Dre, who was scheduled to receive a Vibe Legend Award for his lifetime contributions to hip-hop, had not come on stage yet when the fight erupted. Jones and Snoop Dogg stood on stage without saying anything."My understanding is that it was somewhat chaotic in there," police Lt. Frank Fabrega said in a press conference following the fight.About 1,000 people attended the event; some scurried for the exits when melee began."It's really important that we don't take a negative incident like this and do away with the awards," Suge Knight told reporters.The show was taped Monday and was expected to be broadcast Tuesday. R&B singer Usher led the awards with five nominations, followed by Alicia Keys, who has four nominations.Vibe magazine focuses on urban culture and entertainment. The awards are voted on by music journalists and "regional tastemakers." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyTrendy Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 I have a feeling his career is beginning its decline. Don't like "just lose it" at all. He's just not writing about shit like he did on Marshall Mathers LP or Eminem Show.. Toy Soliders, Yellow Brick Road, and Mocking Bird are dooooope.. track #2 I like and I like encore #20.. Lost it is eh, okay. The skit he does - Eminem calls Paul.. LMFAO.. his conversation to paul is done by using michael jackson song titles.

Don't like "just lose it" at all. The real issue is that hip hop clubs don't close from stabbings or shootings. They call these happenings 'Disruptions' and these clubs get away with hell.Of course if someone overdoses on self inflicted drugs at a electronic music venue, the place will get raided and potentialy clossed down, like limelight or twilo on NY.Why the discrepency?I beleive that there are hidden groups of conservatives influencing the music industry in the US to shut down electronic clubs because they draw mostly wealthy white americans. . . but of course, let all the brothers kill each other in hip hop clubs.What Bullshit!

Guest web_norah Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 you know, you can continue to knock rappers down but they sure as hell climbed to the mainstage of music industry, their albums actually sell and they are (for the most part), all doing not so bad. Jay Z owns a b-ball teamP Diddy diversified his empireDre owns a labelRussell SimmonsNellyLudacrisUsher is on top his game nowthat doesnt sound too dumb to me, business wise, they're selling their thug lifestyle and there are enough fools out there buying it.

Guest jbit Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 and there are enough fools out there buying it.You hit the nail on the head, 95% of the US population are little white sheep that would listen to someone play accordian if Carson Dailey said it was cool. People need there culture spoon fed to them. As far as Im concerned, keep it that way. I'll stick to the underground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JMT Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 there have been countless shootings lately in palm beach county that were results of "earlier altercations" at hip hop clubs. some dude who wasnt even the person they were looking for got capped a few months back. to see this as some freak incident is preposterous.

240turbo Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 Now, don't get me wrong, I've been an Underground Hip-hop fan for as long as I can remember. But incidents like these are the reason why I listen to hip-hop in my car and I never go to these gatherings or events. Because these idiots, better yet porch monkeys that they call hip hoppers, simply do not know how to conduct themselves in public. You put them together and these hypersensitive jackasses get mad at some other guy making fun of their sneakers and that's it, here come the uppercuts, knives and guns. When I heard about this, I was beyond frustrated. It angers me that in 2004 these animals still can't behave. I think next Vibe awards should be held in a state prison, where it belongs.LOL.
