“A shadow shall fall over the universe, and evil will grow in its path, and death will come from the skies.” -Heavy Metal (1981) Sometimes, I wish I was blissfully ignorant like the rest of the herd, devouring celebrity gossip and waiting on new Nikes like the second coming of Jesus.  Then I wouldn’t pay […]

Freddie Gibbs was right, it’s time to bring hoe-bashin’ back to rap.  The radio is full of Captain Save-A-Hoes down on bended knee, croonin’ to broads who don’t deserve it and crying a river on records.  They’re more tender than slow-cooked pot roast. N.W.A. ain’t give a fuck.  They had no mercy on these hoes.  […]

Rappers love to say, “My life is a movie.”  Those lames have absolutely nothing on Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer suspected in three killings, which include the death of a police officer.  There’s a serious manhunt for Dorner right now and this ongoing story, filled with the plot twists and bloodshed of […]

A guilty pleasure of mine is Investigative Discovery Channel, nicknamed ID.  I prefer to call it “The Murder Channel” since that’s pretty much all they broadcast in different variations.  They even have a lineup of reality shows exclusively about femme fatales.  Deadly Women, Pretty Bad Girls and the awesomely-titled Wives With Knives teach a singular […]

Recently, chickens have come home to roost for some of the world’s most brutal drug lords.  Infamous “Cocaine Godmother” Griselda Blanco was gunned down in her native Colombia last month… a long overdue slaying.  Gotta respect a woman who claws her way to the top of a male-dominated coke game but if anyone deserved those […]

The Jekyll & Hyde image above, shot in sunny Acapulco, pretty much sums up the drug violence in Mexico.  Happy tourists enjoy a day at the beach, totally oblivious to the bloody corpse laying behind a wall, several feet away.  Not only is this a microcosm of Mexico’s clashing lifestyles; it also reflects the duality […]

Maybe if the police broke protocol and searched vehicles driven by white folks every now and then, they’d discover more shit like this. The mugshot pretty much seals this guy’s guilt for me.  I don’t wanna sound like a bigot but in my humble opinion, 66-year old big rig trucker Robert Ben Rhoades fits the […]

Wow.  The most feared drug gang in Mexico, Cartel Los Zetas, finally buckled under pressure.  But it wasn’t law enforcement, the military or rival gangsters that made the violent Zetas bow to threats… it was a gang of computer geeks. A few days ago, the hacking collective known as Anonymous threatened to expose the identities […]

This morning, when I heard that the police beat another innocent civilian to death, I figured the victim was the usual unarmed black or Latino dude… then I shrugged it off and brewed a cup of coffee.  Ho-hum, another nigga dead…. what’s the weather gonna be like today? Imagine my utter shock when it was […]

TREATMENT WRITTEN BY DETECTIVE WILLIAM COURTNEY A can of worms was opened last week when prison inmate Dexter Issac, an associate of hip-hop mogul/gangster James “Jimmy Henchmen” Rosemon, claimed he was paid by Henchmen to rob Tupac at Quad Studios in 1994. There is currently a nationwide manhunt for Jimmy Henchmen, who is wanted by […]

WORDS BY PACINO718 American drug dealers “pimp” their rides to look fly and impress the hoes.  In Mexico, however, drug dealers customize their rides into souped-up war machines of mass destruction. As if the beheading and disembowelment of rivals wasn’t crazy enough, feuding drug cartels are now doing battle in armor-plated, Terminator-like vehicles dubbed “Los […]
