I smell another gangsta movie
If you haven't heard by now...Beanie Sigel is in the news again. This time not for anything that he did (as far as we know), this time it's family related. If you don't know the story....here it is:
Moody Found Safe After Kidnapping
Derry Died Of Multiple Gunshot Wounds

PHILADELPHIA -- Wallace Moody, a man allegedly kidnapped who had ties to a rap star's stepfather, has been released by his captors and is now back home.
Moody is a friend of rapper Beanie Sigel's stepfather, Sam Derry, who found shot to death with his body set on fire about 4 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Moody told police he was released late last night. He was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries and spoke with police before he was cleared to go back home.
Police had no comment about Moody's abduction, his release and the search for suspects.
On Wednesday, police said Moody was taken as he was leaving his North Third Street home.
Police said that just before 6 a.m. Wednesday, two dark-colored sedans pulled up to Moody's house. As Moody was walking out of his home, three men, who were wearing gray hooded shirts, approached Moody at gunpoint, forced him into one of the sedans and headed toward Cheltenham Avenue.
Late Wednesday afternoon, police towed away Moody's car and took a smashed cell phone in for evidence.
Derry's family members told NBC 10 News that they are offended by reports that his death had anything to do with Sigel's recent acquittal on attempted homicide charges.
Wednesday morning, police impounded a car found on the 1200 block of Sydney Street that is believed to be owned by Derry. It was not immediately known if Derry had driven the car just prior to his death. Investigators believe that Derry was killed somewhere else and then dumped in the Forrest Avenue alley.
Sigel remained inside his mother's home Wednesday, refusing to talk about the brutal killing of his 46-year-old stepfather.
"I can say Bennie, as well as the entire family, is devastated. There is hope whoever committed this crime is brought to justice," said Sigel's attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr.
Perri, who represented the rapper during last month's retrial on attempted homicide charges, said that he has heard speculation that Derry's killing could be some sort of retaliation against his client, but he doesn't think those rumors are true.
"There is nothing I'm aware of that Bennie has done or been through that would link him to this tragic situation," Perri said.
Police are continuing to look for a white van or sport utility vehicle that witnesses reported seeing near the scene at 8100 Forrest Ave., where Derry's body was dumped and set on fire.
A witness on Tuesday told NBC 10 News that she saw several men dump Derry's body in a secluded driveway.
"I (saw) a van drive up. I saw two people dragging something, three people just dragging something into the trash," said Denise Calhoun.
"I heard a whoosh, a big whoosh and then all of a sudden it was this fire. I said, 'Oh, they're putting the trash on fire back here.' But I said, 'Oh, my goodness, that's no trash, that's a body,'" Calhoun said. Calhoun said she saw a leg or an arm and called 911.
The body was so badly burned that authorities, at first, were not even sure of the victim's race.
In late September, Sigel (right)was acquitted on charges he shot and nearly killed a man two years ago on a crowded Philadelphia street.
That trial began only a few weeks after his release from federal prison on a federal weapons charge that stemmed from a 2002 traffic stop in Philadelphia. He faces yet another city trial for allegedly breaking a man's eye socket during a January 2003 argument.
The 31-year-old rapper, born Dwight Grant, has a long arrest record that dates to his youth in south Philadelphia. His three albums -- "The Truth" in 2000, "The Reason" in 2001 and "The B. Coming" -- each hit the top five on the Billboard album chart. Many of Sigel's songs depict guns, drugs and violence.

If you live in Phila or the surrounding areas, you've already heard the story and most likely all the hype surrounding Beanie Sigel. I hear people saying "You know it's bout to be a war up in philly now!" or "You know Beanie gonna get back at dem niggaz!" Now I'm not to say whether he is or isn't, cause I honestly don't care. But I personally think Beanie has enough legal problems right now...but then again, more court cases=more record sales. Which is why I'm positively sure that there will be a "Based on a true story" movie coming out in which the whole situation is explained. He can call this one "STATE PROPERTY: INDITED"

i just wanna know why u are dumb?
u must just not b able to help ur self!
it is sad tho hev...it must suck to have a family member burned to death...don't u think. it's sad to be famous and have money and still be living a life of crime and violence.
I feel for Beanie, and it ain't just cause he's sexy as hellllll! :)
Please Dame! no more movies!!
Yea it is sad to have a family member burned to death, but like I was telling Khalif...if you live that lifestyle you can't really expect anything else.
Think about it, when was the last time you heard about drug dealers dying of natural causes. They live violently they die the same way. And believe it or not...in the hood it's accepted.
I know a drug dealer who died of a heart attack and his family was more upset because he died of a heart attack rather than somebody killing him. I guess the logic is at least if somebody kills you, your family will at least have somebody to blame.
Oh yea! and I really can't help being dumb. lol.
Too funny!
I don't think labels throwing millions of dollars at criminals to create junk-rap makes them stop their deviant behavior. It just makes them rich and famous criminals.
Why is rap the only genre of music that has "artists" in the news weekly for getting out of or going to jail? It was such a releif to see Kanye making headlines for his rant on Mr. Bush...which was, at the very least, thought provoking.
I think the reason that rap is the only genre of music where the artist stay in the headlines for criminal behavior is because that is what's selling their albums.
Think of it like this...if you had a country singer who had 10 albums out and the majority of the songs on the album were about how he loved his wife and kids, you might buy it because you can relate. But then if you constantly here about him cheating on his wife and neglecting his children you're gonna think "He just sings those songs to make money". But on the other hand if he is constantly in the media for taking his wife and kids on extravigant vaccations, and showering them with gifts and attention...you're gonna be like "Damn, he really is the type of person he sings about"
It's all about upholding a reputation. Some of the rappers haven't even had a criminal record until the started makeing music (for the record...I doubt Beanie was one of them). But when it comes to rap music, once you say you will, would or have done some form of criminal behavior you have to find some way to back that up. It's just the way it is.
hey hev use a sexy lil mama i kno u kno that so i hope u let me holla at u dez mike so whuz up?
