Hip hop lived up to its reputation early Sunday morning when Suge Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records, was shot in the leg at a party thrown for Kanye West in Miami. Knight was in good condition after having surgery to remove the bullet and repair a fracture bone.

The Miami Herld reported late last night that there had been no arrests. A police spokesman said the investigation was being hampered by witnesses' "unwillingless to talk." NBC10 reported this morning that police had received "more information from the bartender than from the people who were with Knight." What a surprise, eh?

The headline of AP music writer Nekesa Mumbi Moody's article was "MTV Pulls Off Awards Despite Drama." Neither rain nor hurricane nor night club shooting can prevent the MTV Music Video Awards from making its appointed rounds. Such dedicated professionals.
