Howse's legal team has taken an optimistic view of the sentencing. "My client was very fortunate to have a fair-minded judge and prosecutor. The facts which were presented to the court showed a very talented individual who had a very problem-filled childhood," said lawyer Johnathan Kissell, "Stanley will continue to write music, to interact with people in the music industry, and use his creatively for others' enjoyment. He will be back in society's grasp within five years and will have learned a very valuable lesson in life."

More exclusive newz on Source Awards Incident Aug 24, 2000, 10:25 pm ET More conflciting stuff on the Source Awards from DeathRow2K.com, the first article says Bone wasn't involved while the next one just repeats what was said earlier. Most notable was when members of the Outlaws stepped to members of Bad Boy. Harsh words were exchanged and one of the Outlaws spit upon a Bad Boy artist. Boxing promoter Don King stepped in and cooled things off before things got out of hand. During The Source Awards Mack Minister managed to somehow not only show up-400 miles from home, but he also managed to get in and land a seat with all the artist who were scheduled to perform. In between takes E-40 was talking with some of the cats from Cash Money when Mack Minister made his way down the aisle and started trying to show out. In front of the Outlaws, Cash Money and numerous other crews he started berating E-40 who responded by trying to diffuse things. When he was asked to chill Minster got even more animated and tried to loud talk E-40 even more. What happened next is a bit confusing, as there are all sorts of stories. From where I sat I could see Minister trying to get up in E-40's face and 40 trying to avoid a confrontation. Those who were seated closer said that Mack Minister was clearly in the wrong and had crossed the line when he pushed at E-40 and snatched his chain. As big as E-40 is what was this kid thinking? People who had seen him earlier said Minister may have been high on something due to his erratic behavior Nevertheless, once the chain was snatched Mack Minister caught the beat down of lifetime. Because of Minister's proximity to Cash Money some folks mistakenly thought there was funk between The Click and Cash Money. That was definitely not the case. The two camps were conversing before and after the melee. There was also talk that Bones Thugs and Harmony were also involved due to the fact that they had ripped shirts. Again that was not the case. Mack Minister was eventually taken out by police but not arrested. While this was going on there's was big commotion going on back stage which prompted officials to terminate the event on the spot. About 15 to 20 guys dressed in red rushed onto the stage and made their way to the back. According to security guards it was cats claiming to be down with Death Row. The intended target was Dre and Snoop who were soon to perform. No one could see what was going down, but apparently it was enough to prompt the Pasadena police to end the event. When the order was given to end the show, this made people get upset even more. An impassioned Doug E Fresh tried to address the crowd. By then things were too far gone. Hip Hop a black mark that will take some time to erase Mo Thugs family was beatened down pretty badly especially Krayzie Bone also there was another fight which involved The Death Row family. only 3 Awards were completed for the show. More news as I get it. Exclusive: Layzie Bone, Manager Respond To Source Awards Incident Aug 23, 2000, 12:25 pm PT Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony put a call in to allstar on Wednesday (Aug. 23) to set the record straight about the violence that broke out at The Source Hip-Hop Music Awards 2000 in Pasadena, Calif. While members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony exchanged words with other members of the audience before the ruckus began, neither Krayzie or Layzie were hit in the incident, according to Layzie. "What I seen was a whole bunch of motherfuckers beating a lot of people, but it didn't have nothing to do with Layzie Bone personally," said Layzie. "What I just seen was a lot of stupid niggas and I don't know what the fuck was going on. But I know [none] of my niggas ain't got touched [sic]. I was seeing the show and shit just broke out. But me and my niggas got up out of there untouched. That's all I know. I did see some niggas get swamped on, I just don't know who the niggas was [sic]." Of course, with no injuries reported and no arrests made, we may never who was actually hit in the scuffle -- Bone Thugs or otherwise. Krayzie Bone, who was actually reported to have been "beaten pretty badly" in the incident, is expected to speak out on the incident shortly. Despite the melee, which stopped the awards show a little over halfway through, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are ready to attend if the show is rescheduled. "If they reschedule anything that has anything to do with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony being there, they gonna be there," said Bone-Thugs manager Rod J. "Whether that incident happened [or not], that ain't gonna stop the show, that ain't gonna stop nobody. If they have the Source Awards tomorrow, they gonna be there." -- Kevin Raub |
