Drunk Teacher Arrested For Biting Man's Ear Off

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

A middle school teacher in Minnesota is facing jail time after police say she drunkenly attacked a man and bit off part of his ear.

Sixth grade teacher Susan Mukuhi Mwarabu was arrested Sunday after police were called by two men at a diner.

According to the Pioneer Press, Mwarabu was with friends at the diner when she approached a man that made a comment about one of them and licked the side of his face.

When the man pushed her away, she approached his friend and licked his ear. The friend “moved her back from him” but the drunken teacher moved forward again and bit off part of his ear.

The report then says that the woman and her friends were asked to leave but not before the teacher picked up the piece of the ear from the floor and put it into her mouth.

If convicted, Mwarabu could be sentenced to up to five years in prison and fined up to $10,000 or both.

Doctors told the victim that part of his ear should grow back but he may still need treatment.

WOW, how embarrassing! I wonder what her students think....

Ice Cube Preparing For War Against Fellow West Coast Rappers?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Along with Jay-Z, a lot of older rappers have been catching some flack as they keep pushing releases and new albums trying to represent for their collective states and bring them back to the prominence when they happened to be in town.

Since Ice Cube announced his album, I Am The West, the likes of Crooked I, Glasses Malone and Bishop Lamont have reportedly had some words stating that Cube needs to just let the new school handle things.

It was rumored that Crooked sent a message to Cube saying we were on to the next and just let 96 stay there and allow the 2010 artists to ride in the driver's seat.

Apparently, Cube doesn't take such words lightly, and felt as though he needed to school the new generation through his blog.

“What's up with these local MC's in L.A. who keep disrespecting me?  They're just mad cause I don't f**k with they wack-a**.  They ain't on my level, why should I waste my time (more...)

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

New York rappers, as of late, have been adapting the ideals of the South with all of the southern hospitality as they have been joining forces recently.

They must have finally figured out that all that beef is getting played out and it makes more sense to just put egos aside and work together for the greater cause.

As Juelz Santana continues to hold onto the release of The Reagan Era mixtape, he has a special surprise that will include Jadakiss, Fabolous and Lloyd Banks.

Could this be a teaser to what fans can expect?

Black Former Harvard University Student Indicted In Deadly Dorm Shooting

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Brittany Smith, a former student at Harvard University, has been indicted for her role in the shooting death of 21-year-old Cambridge University student Justin Cosby.

Smith is facing accessory charges for helping to cover-up the 2009 murder of Cosby during a botched robbery/ drug deal on the Harvard University campus.

According to police, Smith, now 22-years-old was the girlfriend of Jabrai Jordan Copney, one of three men in question for the case.

They accuse her of giving 20-year-old Copney, 19-year-old Blayn Jiggetts and 23-year-old Jason Aquino her key card for her dorm room where they planned to rob Cosby.

After things went astray and the young man was shot and killed, they say she hid the gun under her friend's bed and lied to authorities about the incident.

She appeared in a federal court room Tuesday and pled not guilty to six charges, three counts of accessory to murder, one count of illegal possession of a firearm, willfully misleading a grand jury, and willfully misleading a police officer.

Smith was not allowed to graduate from the institution in light of the case.

A second female student, Chanequa Campbell, was denied graduation for her ties to the case although she still has yet to be charged with a crime.

As previously reported Jason Aquino was cleared of murder charges and instead faces charges of accessory as well.
