It's Probation Time for Busta Rhymes

Posted: 2008-01-23 16:43:50
NEW YORK (Jan. 23) - A Manhattan judge sentenced Busta Rhymes to three years' probation and 10 days of community service Wednesday for assaulting his former driver and a fan.

The 35-year-old rapper was also fined $1,250, plus court costs, for driving while intoxicated and with a suspended license.

He pleaded guilty to the charges - related to four separate incidents - in Manhattan Criminal Court. Rhymes, whose real name is Trevor Smith, must also enroll in a DWI program.

Trouble finds DMX again. He's arrested for failing to appear in court, after recent arrests for a drug and having no valid driver's license. He was also arrested twice in May and awaits trial on animal cruelty charges.

B Seals S, are you a saint? Didn't think so. Have you ever heard, "Judge not lest ye be judged?" You don't have a frickin' clue. We don't have freedom anymore, it went out the window a long time ago. Police brutality, death by pistols or tazers, Are you one of those jerks who gets off on wathing somebody writhe to their death? We have a lot of sick morons in this country.

Another rap loser!!

They tell me many youngsters find these people appealing. Everyone is so worried about a 16 year old singer getting pregnant and being a 'bad role model' for the young ones. Not a good thing, but is it better to have these thugs for heroes? I think the morals in this country have flown out the window and so has common sense. Our court system is many cases is the cause. The only reason an attorney would defend one of them is for the money. But wait! That's no surprise, is it?

WOW............HIS WRISTS MUST REALLY HURT FROM THE SLAPS THEY ABSORBED. SOME PUNISHMENT. GUESS THATS WHY I WAS NOT A COP. IN MY OPINION, THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPORTED HIM. HE WAS ALMOST THERE ANYWAY.

JUST ANOTHER STATISTIC

Tsily1979 04:29:57 PM Jan 23 2008

I liked Busta a lot, so I hope he gets himself together and remembers who he is. I called a lot of rappers thugs over the years and couldn't bring myself to say the same about him. So, I really hope he pulls through and remembers it was fans who got him the fame.
