I wonder if St. Peters' college will make money from the concert...

...and I'm sure the 500 pounds was only for personal...medical reasons...

It must have been a really big ziplock.

Or maybe get some good weed, buy a gun off the tour bus? Maybe you can get a discount with your concert ticket stub.

I totally agree with MikeZ. But this is the hip hop generation. You can drive through the sticks in bumblef**k and see some white kid rocking out to rap music where the rapper is lamenting about the ghetto. It's a little weird if you ask me.

So...the reason why universities sanction these events, is because quite frankly this is what the majority of youth today listens to...whether it's Jersey City or Franklin Lakes.

So in other words... stay away from SPC tonight & that area?

oh shut up

I never understood why universities sanction these things. It makes as much sense for an institute of higher learning to provide a platform to a rapper as it would for a hospital to host seminars by the Marlboro man.

Fabolous at St. Peter's tonight
Friday, October 09, 2009

Rapper Fabolous is the headliner at a concert tonight at the Yantinelli Center at St. Peter's College in Jersey City.

Fabolous will perform with Lyaz and Serani at the MetroPCS college campus concert, sponsored by 92.3 NOW FM. Another campus concert will be held at Hofstra University at the same time, where Canadian singer Justin Bieber will perform.

Fabolous grew up in Brooklyn and is regarded as one of the East Coast's most established rappers. He's most well known for his 2001 hit "Can't Deny It."

Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and tickets can be purchased today at the Yanitelli Center box office. Tickets are $19.23 and can only be bought with cash.

And just because you choose to see Fabolous doesn't meant you have to miss out on Justin Bieber. There will be a live video broadcast of the other concert playing at both events tonight.

CLAIRE MOSES

==================
From Wiki:
Personal life

In January and March 2003, Fabolous was arrested for possessing an unlicensed gun in his car. His bodyguard later showed proof of ownership for the gun.

Fabolous was shot in his right leg on the morning of October 17, 2006 in Manhattan after exiting Justin's, a restaurant owned by Diddy. The police saw the rapper and three other men accompanying him rushing through a red light and found unlicensed, loaded guns in their car leading to their arrest. After they found the weapons, Fabolous was treated at a local hospital.

NYPD linked Fabolous to a crew of robbers who targeted champion boxer Zab Judah twice. According to police reports, the Street Fam Crew is made up of 20 members, all former drug dealers from Fabolous's Brooklyn neighborhood. In 2006, three men tried to rob Judah as he stood next to his yellow Lamborghini on West 27th Street at 10th Avenue in New York City. The three men rolled up in a minivan at about 5 AM, and hopped out. One pulled a black handgun on Judah and told him to put his jewelry on the hood of his car. Judah ran instead. The muggers followed in their van, but crashed into a tree a block away. All three scattered, but one was captured by a Homeland Security agent on his way to work, and another was grabbed by a nearby cab driver. "A bunch of idiots that didn't have no control over what they were doing; they messed with the wrong guy," said Judah. Fabolous came forward to deny reports that he was involved.

On the evening of November 22, 2007, a childhood friend?Shamel McKinney?was stabbed to death inside of a New York nightclub. Police say that McKinney may have been stabbed after trying to steal jewelry off the neck of another clubgoer, Anthony Taylor (who has since the incident been arrested and has to face second-degree murder charges). The rapper further explained that despite reports, McKinney was not part of a robbery crew connected to the rapper. Fabolous stated, "On Thanksgiving, I think I came out of the house one time - to go get eggnog. And there wasn't any eggnog at Club Duvet."

On February 24, 2009 Arkansas police seized 500 pounds of marijuana from Fabolous' tour bus as it returned from the NBA All-Star Game. Fabolous was not on board the bus at the time and has not yet been charged in connection with the incident.
