Good lord! The VIBE drama is thick. There are so many rumors going around, we don’t know where to begin. We can’t say it all, because we don’t want people to get nabbed by 5-0. Lets just say, when Dr. Dre was sucker punched, he didn’t roll over and cry. We heard Dre straight started bombin’ at the dude! And after that, we heard a couple rap dudes (that crew from Queens) were warring for Dre and that dude that hit him left in a manner consistent with a mauling by a raging bull. Word is a young Compton rapper was really going at it for his mentor. Somebody tried to run out of the venue and was chased by a mob. Somebody ws removed bloody - that might have been the stabbed person or the person that attacked Dre...we don't know.

Now some reports said that Suge Knight said “F**k G-Unit,” but those reports disappeared so we don’t know if that is true or if the rumor has assumed a life of its own. Anyway, the night was crazy and it’s all on tape so best believe we’ll hear and see more of this

[Sikotic™]

Am I the only one that found Russel Simmon's running out crying like a baby hysterical?

And someone please stop inviting Suge's big headed ass to award shows. He has no business there anyways.

[MarshColin]

LMAO.  You guys are acting like G-Unit and Aftermath are all hardcore because of this.  There was like 20 of them fighting one average sized dude who appeared to be by himself as far as back.  That's gangsta?  Please.  You know if the numbers were even on both sides this wouldn't have went down like that.  Quit riding jocks and see it like it is.

yea right, one big ass fight with chairs flying around and a person stabbed, all because of 1 single averaged sized man.
musta be a kinda suicidal person.

[eS El Duque]

well, its dumb for that dude to attack dre by himself..what were g-unit suppossed to do? stand there? I mean, dre is a big reason why 50 got famous...so ofc everyone from g-unit will jump on the guy!

[Don Seer]

hmm lookin more and more like the guy in the two tone was Dre ?

i thought it was at first.. but i was like naaaaaaah.. lol





Bad Vibes at Vibe: Lee Baily Gives Ultimate Breakdown

BAD VIBES ALL AROUND: Fight breaks
out during last night's Vibe Awards; one
man stabbed.

*After last night, urban award
shows may be a thing of the past -
something to tell our grandkids about
one day in the distant future. It's
unfortunate that a crew of knuckleheads
in the audience of last night's Vibe
Awards in Santa Monica, CA have
unwittingly cast a pall over future
attempts to acknowledge our own. And
judging from the way show publicists
bent over backwards not to have us
report on the melee, or ask any of the
artists to comment on the situation,
you probably won't be seeing this on
tonight's telecast, which is scheduled
to run from 8 to 10 p.m. on UPN.
The footage of the fight was all
over the local 10 and 11 o'clock
newscasts within hours of the taping.
The reason for the fight, however,
became a thing of rumor, conjecture,
speculation, assumption and down right
hearsay.
Here's what we know for sure.
Snoop Dogg and "Vibe" magazine founder
Quincy Jones were on stage in the midst
of presenting a special Vibe Legend
Award to Dr. Dre when the fight broke
out. Cameras caught fools throwing
punches, kicking and hitting people
with white plastic chairs.
Q, who was already on crutches,
watched helplessly alongside a startled
Snoop from behind the podium.
"Y'all gonna mess up my rap, man,"
Quincy joked to the audience before the
skirmish turned into the Fistfight at
the OK Corral.
Meanwhile, in the press tent,
Kevin Lyttle was at the podium being
interviewed when the TV monitors -
showing the telecast while muted -
began beaming footage of the fight.
Reporters, sensing a bigger story than
anything poor Kevin Lyttle could ever
say, began furiously dialing cell phones
while watching the monitors in complete
shock. A few journalists even started
packing up, intending to get out of
dodge.
Cameras abruptly switched back to
Snoop and Q at the podium, just in time
to see both make a swift exit - Snoop
stage right, Q stage left. Suddenly, the
camera swings back toward the crowd,
capturing the very footage that ended
up on local newscasts within hours.
A 26-year-old man was stabbed
during the incident and taken to a
hospital. He was listed in stable
condition.
No one was arrested, but according
to a Vibe official, one person "was
removed from the venue."
UPN cut off the press room feed of
the auditorium, and that's when rumors
of the fight's origin first began to
sprout. Not even two minutes after the
monitors went dark, a brother came
running back fresh from the stage with
an eyewitness account, claiming that 50
Cent and Lloyd Banks were involved.
"I seen 50 Cent come from the
backstage where the performers are,"
said an excitable Kevin Washington, who
was at the event doing interviews for
Living it Up Productions on LA's Fox
affiliate, KTLA. Washington said he saw
50 flanked by bodyguards and breathing
hard.
"I didn't know if they had came
down from a performance or what, but
him and a bunch of bodyguards walked
over to a designated area where we
couldn't get through, because you have
to have the proper wristbands and
passes. Then something fell. It sounded
like a pot broke, and everybody just
started running around backstage. Then
all of a sudden, everybody ran to the
stage and a bunch of bodyguards were
fighting. I'm pretty sure I seen Lloyd
Banks on the monitor that was right
next to me backstage. I'm not sure if
it was 50, but I do know it was a
bunch of bodyguards on stage, and I
seen Lloyd Banks up there throwing
blows. Then I ran out because somebody
yelled mase, and a lot of security
started running. I didn't want to get
hit with no mase, so I ran off the
stage."
Meanwhile, witness Frank
Williams was telling 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."
In the press room, a shift had
occurred in everyone's order of
business. Reporters were as
determined to get to the bottom of
this fight as the show's publicists
were in keeping it from us.
For example, Common was the
first artist to enter the press area
following the melee. When EUR's Lee
Bailey tried to ask him what happened,
two publicists immediately barked,
"No questions about that! Just about
the show!"
"Well this IS about the show,"
Bailey snapped. One of the publicists
took the microphone from him and
headed toward someone else with
a more benign question about
Common's new album.
Then, veteran entertainment
journalist Ron Brewington shouted,
"Censorship! To take the mic away
from him is censorship! Don't do that!"
Common diffused the situation,
stating: "I can't talk about something
I don't know about, really. So that's
what it is, sir. We're gonna leave the
drama behind, ya dig?"
Soon, Suge Knight's name was
tossed into the rumor mill. Folks
were saying that "his people" had
sucker-punched Dr. Dre right before he
was to take the stage and accept his
award, prompting G-Unit to jump in and
get Dre's back.
To appease the journalists, UPN
sent back the president of "Vibe,"
Kenard Gibbs, to give a statement
about the disruption.
"There was a disturbance within
the venue," he said. "Nothing major,
but it very quickly erupted into
various people moving. We were able
to contain the individual who was
responsible for causing this disruption,
we had him removed from the venue. We
did go blank on the monitors until we
got things under control."
After a half-hour delay, the show
started up again, picking up with Snoop
and Quincy back at the podium - AS IF
NOTHING HAPPENED. Dre took the stage
and accepted his award, seeming very
disgruntled and agitated while reading
a prepared "thank you" speech.
By this point, Alicia Keys had
left the building, probably fearing for
her life, and TV reporters were
scrambling to interview anyone coming
into the press tent who claimed to have
witnessed anything.
In presenting Keys with the final
award of the night, presenter Rosario
Dawson was forced to say, "Unfortunately,
Alicia Keys had to leave early, so I'd
like to accept this award on her behalf."
The taping had been over for about
10 minutes when Suge Knight and his new
artist Petey Pablo just sauntered into
the press tent, unannounced. They had
driven to the venue themselves during a
break from recording. The press tent
suddenly became the setting for a new
Fox reality show, "When Reporters
Attack."
In the blink of an eye, news
cameras, boom mikes and reporters
with notepads had surrounded the two.
While Suge toked on a cigar, and the
publicists tried desperately to get
the mogul and the rapper away from
us, Pablo just started talking:
"Don't blame my homeboy, you
understand what I'm saying? We on
a new thing, we on non-violence this
year and forever more. All the media
might portray him as a monster, but
this is the coolest dude I ever met in
my life. Don't blame my homeboy."
Ultimately, the publicists
succeeded in their quest to kick us
all out of the tent. The interview
scrum, including Suge and Petey,
simply moved into the parking lot,
where reporters continued firing
questions in the cool night air.
Surrounded by a semi-circle of
Santa Monica policemen, and some in
a police helicopter overhead, Suge said
that he had absolutely nothing to do
with the fight.
"When I do something wrong,
blame me for it," he said. "One thing
about me, if I do something, I'm gonna
claim it no matter what it is. I'm not
the type of guy that's just gonna wanna
start stuff. I'm not an idiot. I'm in
the music business. I feel that Death
Row is the label that really made
gangsta rap popular to be able to move
forward for everyone. So I'm not here
to tear down, I'm here to support and
build it back up. And it's an honor
for me to even see guys that used to
be on my label getting an award or
performing, because that means I did
my job by teaching them how to do it."
Suge was calm, pleasant and
jovial with reporters, answering
every question asked, and even
stating how great it is that Dre is
being honored - by Quincy Jones,
no less. His parting words before
etting back to the recording studio
with Petey: "I'm on parole! Leave me
alone!"

Im not saying they're bitches for jumping in on the guy and beating his ass.  Hell ya that should have happened that dude got his ass beat.  I dont got a problem with that. What Im saying is you shouldnt treat them like super gangstas because of this.  And as far as the stabbing goes, we dont even know who was stabbed and over what.

[Don Seer]

aint anyone saying that... why u so upset?

[MarshColin]

Crazy shit, good to see peeps aint all talk though.  50 and dem could of easily backed the fuck down and let the police deal with shit, but they threw their fists up and stepped up, good shit.  Bad shit that somebody got stabbed and shit but I'm just saying its good to see that these guys aint actually all mouth, when it came down to it they was down to brawl.

so far Im proud of the aftermath camp proving that they are no plain fakes... as far as shit is true that's been told

20 against 1 is no brawl and it proves nothing.  Thats what im trying to say.
