    1) He's not a rapper but an (ex?)president of a record label.
    2) He used to have members of the LAPD working for him. I wonder if they still do.

    Since I've gotten more into this, thought I heard he was a police informant.

    The problem is that many don't seem to understand the difference between fame and infamy.

    Semantics. He's still a thug.

    What's sad is that today people can *be* famous strictly for being famous -- Paris Hilton, Nicole Richey, the Kardashians. You don't need talent or a skill or even looks if you have enough money to buy publicity.

    And the flip side of that is kids who want to be Darren Clebold or Timothy McVie and be famous for doing something heinous. Even if it means a lifetime in jail or an early death.

    I only know his fury surely made these onlookers' blood freeze with pure intimidation and plain menace! Watch at own risk (and there's no way any Suge - which means "suck" in Norwegian - would ever dare go near him):

    Ha... I was painting a High school in Pasadena Ca. and this kid kind of latched onto us painters... Bugging us.

    He said... "Man thats DOG work! You never catch me doin Dog work!" So I asked him what he was going to do when he got out of High School and he said, "I'm going to be a famous soccer player"... I said, are you on the soccer team here? He said No. I asked him if he even played soccer, he said no.

    Lol. he was probably 18 already, And he was serious.
    Still alive and well...

    School budgets are tight; vocational guidance counselors are the first to go.

    And the kids don't want to get anywhere near the trades. Plumbing, painting, carpentry... No way man. Thing is, the trades are paying VERY good money these days.

    I might add that Vocational counseling should be a number one priority in high schools.

    There's a pointed reference to that incident in this incisive interview with Vanilla Ice himself.

    Regarding the Vanilla Ice incident: the story I remember hearing Ice himself tell in one interview was that he was dangled outside a hotel room window by one of Suge's bodyguards, and forced to sign over the rights to his catalog to Suge. I think Ice said that he "needed Pampers that day".

    Then in a subsequent interview, he recanted the story, saying he exaggerated what really happened, and made it seem like Suge hadn't really threatened him or anything.

    So who knows what really happened.

    Yeah, a Yes hoodie and a NEARfest cap. We could all adopt that look, but with our favorite bands. Those giant, gold Magma medallions would work too. One with the Dream Theater logo would be good.

    Forget trying to figure out how to pronounce Suge - I'll just call him by his real name: Marion.

    Thats a very good point. They are mainly neighborhood careers.
    They require some on the job apprenticeship but pay increases can come quickly with hard work. You don't really even need a high school diploma for many of them, Just a good attitude.

    Well, that's the end of that idea.
