An argument broke out on the premises of an Atlanta recording studio on Memorial Drive, during a photo and video shoot, which ended in Hamilton being shot in the chest. He was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital. The argument was over candy, of all things, which is a sad, but telling tale, regarding the state of the entertainment industry worldwide, especially where black artists are concerned.

Yes, white entertainment industry members, such as Phil Spector, have committed murder, while a few others who have commission the killings or attempted slayings of others have not yet been brought to justice, on the whole, black artists in certain genres get into trouble more often.
Label it what you will, but rap, dance hall and R&B artists are consistently in the midst of serious legal trouble for acts of violence. Some artists in the aforementioned genres have made violence a staple in their music, then try to live it out in real life, forgetting the side effects of doing such things, known as the consequences. They are throwing their lives away and that of their contemporaries and innocent members of society in doing so.

Really, what's so hard about being overcompensated for performing a couple hours work a few days a week as an artist. Why can't these genres behave. You have people struggling to make minimum wage, doing actual grueling work, yet ungrateful artists are engaging in violence and sabotaging their lives, freedom and careers, while jeopardy public safety. Anyone that does this does not deserve to be famous. Anyone that does this deserves to be put in prison.

Another case of life imitating art has surfaced in the arrest and conviction of famed music manager, Jimmy Henchman, real name James Rosemond, who was indicted on massive cocaine charges. Henchman has represented music stars such as Brandy, Akon, Game, Gucci Mane and Shyne, to name a few.
It is alleged Henchman used his management company and recording studio, to traffic large quantities of narcotics in and around America, then distributed the cash proceeds, via an elaborate scheme involving Fedex and rented mail boxes. Money was shipped through the mail, vacuum sealed and coated in mustard, to throw off dogs that sniff mail packages. Henchman's arrest is said to be part of a larger drug probe into rap music.
The entertainment industry is no stranger to entertainers being involved with organized crime. The late Notorious B.I.G. was a drug dealer, who got involved with the Genovese mafia, as confirmed by FBI reports. Former Sony CEO, Tommy Mottola, who was married to singer Mariah Carey, after she broke up his 20-year marriage, bragged of his mafia ties in Vanity Fair.
Rapper 50 Cent was also a drug dealer. Rapper, Jay-Z, another drug dealer, continues to boasts about his debauched life in profane songs. Lastly, pop singer Madonna, has financial ties to the mafia, even dated a member of it as well. In closing, many people in the entertainment industry are always looking to make a fast buck, which often entails breaking the law. What a horrible example to set.

Details Emerge In Jimmy Henchman’s Cocaine Indictment; Mogul To Be Sentenced Next Month
May 17, 2011 - Details are emerging in the federal cocaine conspiracy case against music mogul James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond, who is accused of distributing drugs along with several co-defendants. Rosemond is accused of being involved in a drug organization that regularly shipped cocaine in via overnight delivery services and later, road cases used for holding equipment, to recording studios in New York.
Millions of proceeds in cash was then sent back to Los Angeles, using Federal Express and other overnight delivery services as well. The proceeds were then sent back to various mailboxes on the West coast, coated in mustard and vacuum sealed, in order to throw off drug sniffing dogs looking for illegal currency...
Cocaine Probe Targets Rap Music Figures
MAY 17--The Drug Enforcement Administration probe that has ensnared a well-known rap music manager is focusing on the shipment of kilos of cocaine from Los Angeles to New York by a narcotics ring that stashed the drug in “road cases” delivered to recording studios, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Payment for the cocaine was sent back to the West Coast in vacuum-sealed packages that were coated with mustard, the pungent smell of which was intended to conceal from drug-sniffing dogs the scent of narcotics on the currency. To date, the ongoing investigation--which is being overseen by prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn--has resulted in felony charges against about six defendants, several of whom are connected to the rap music industry...

Gucci Mane
Mentally ill rapper, Gucci Mane, real name, Radric Davis, has been arrested in Atlanta, Georgia for not only violating his probation, but assaulting a defenseless woman as the offense. Mane saw the 36-year-old woman outside South Dekalb Mall in Georgia and asked her to accompany him to breakfast.
She agreed and entered his white Hummer, which was not a good idea. Mane then offered her $150 to cancel breakfast and go to a hotel with him to engage in sexual intercourse. When she refused and asked him to take her back to the mall, it is alleged he opened the door of the Hummer and pushed her several times, until she fell out of the moving vehicle.
Mane's conduct is very cruel and inappropriate. The victim could have died had she landed on the ground at an angle that placed her in line with the vehicle's tires. This abusiveness towards women needs to stop. Women also need to be careful, as just because you see someone on television does not mean they will not hurt you.

Gucci Mane in one of his more tame moments
Atlanta rapper and ex-convict, Gucci Mane, real name, Radric Davis, has been committed to an insane asylum by a judge, after violating his probation once again. He is being held on a mental health hold, much like what happened to Britney Spears...twice (yes, she's crazy like that). Clearly something happened in the case to lead the judge to believe, Gucci Mane isn't playing with all his marbles. But what could it be:
Why was a irrational man like Gucci Mane placed in a mental facility:
He has such an alert expression. Why did the judge commit him. I just don't get it:
What could it be that made the judge think he is crazy:
It just isn't obvious:
In closing, just because a man looks like a runaway slave does not mean you should commit him to a mental institution (LOL). I'm just teasing. Get well soon.
