What’s That Smell?

Buzz Notes Quickie
- Hulking hip-hop boss Marion “Suge” Knight is considering quitting the rap game and becoming a college football coach. The Death Row Records founder, who was shot in the leg last month, says he wants to take gang youths in L.A. and turn them into athletes. “I’m at a point where probably in the next couple of years I’m gonna go coach football,” he tells contactmusic.com. “It’s something I enjoy. I don’t need a paycheck for it.” The 325-pound Knight went to University of Nevada at Las Vegas on a football scholarship and briefly played for the Oakland Raiders.

In one of the more bizarre accounts of artist/fan interactions, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s Layzie Bone almost lost a finger on Saturday when an irate fan tried to bite it off during a scuffle. According to a source close to the group, Layzie, Krayzie and Wish Bone were in Palm Springs, California, to perform at a club and before they could even get to the venue, the show was canceled. Bone’s camp said police intervened, fearing gang violence, but a spokesperson for the police said that was not the case and that if the show was canceled it was because the promoter did not obtain the proper permits from the city. In any event, Bone Thugs visited another local club, Havana, and then headed back to their hotel, a Holiday Inn Express in Cathedral City, where the madness occurred. According to the Bone camp, Layzie and his wife were in one of the rooms with some friends and invited some fans up to mingle. There was an undisclosed amount of men and women in the room when one of the men attacked Layzie, apparently disgruntled because of the show’s cancellation. The distraught man was able to bite down on one of the rapper’s fingers and pierced the skin all the way to the bone. The man was then held by Layzie’s friends until police arrived. Police said the attacker was not arrested because Layzie Bone refused to press charges or even cooperate with authorities. Bone was rushed to a hospital, where doctors were able to save his appendage. The fleet-mouthed rapper’s finger was stitched up and Layzie is said to be resting in Hawaii with his wife. Despite suffering extreme pain, Layzie is expected to meet up with his group in two weeks to continue recording a new album.

Ye was also recently interviewed by Fiona Apple. In the interview Kanye tells Ms. Apple that he holds her ‘higher than Lauryn Hill in his eyes.’ Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but thats like comparing apples and oranges. Lame pun intended.
