Street Cred
Street Cred: (Noun) Commanding a level of respect or acceptability among the urban community.Rapper Da Brat, who is best known for reality shows such as "Celebrity Fit Club" and "The Surreal Life" and lesser known for having a valid music career, was sentenced to three years in prison last week for assaulting a woman last year with a bottle of rum.
The hip-hopster and the victim, a waitress at the nightspot, apparently had an existing beef which boiled over. Police were called in after Da Brat was accused of slashing the employee's face with the glass bottle, sending her to the hospital.
Da Brat pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault in the hopes of winning a light sentence or avoiding jail time altogether. But the judge wasn't in a forgiving mood, noting that the victim suffered permanent facial scars. (Source)
On the bright side, three years is a small price to pay to not have your legacy be that you starred alongside Screech in a reality show. See? When life hands you lemons, just bash those motherfuckers in the face with a bottle of rum and hope the judge is in a pissy mood!
Slugger at some pop awards last April:
I'm still loving the "Pete Wentz eats pavement" photo from last week. Da Brat's not even on the radar.
I know, right? Once you've accomplished "genius," it's kind of hard to bounce back from that. Sigh.
You had me at "turd burglar", Stace.
am i the only one disappointed to hear that someone capable of bashing someone over the head with a bottle of rum was on a show with screech, and he walked away with exactly the same amount of brain damage with which he entered?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, so, Convict #45678934, You say you were in ..uh "entertainment"?
Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum.
