Rhymes to fight
The bar had nothing to do with it. Dizzy declined to battle Bob inside Tower but wanted to do it outside. Right or wrong, that's what they were there to do. The article also quoted Rokon and DJ Unite who admitted he had possession of the card and who admitted he destroyed it. Did you miss that? Here's what we know for sure: The First Power people say that Dizzy was not even there. Wrong. Rokon's wife was taping the whole scene, the camera was taken from her and broken. The First Power people got possession of the recording card. The FP people viewed the card (which incidentally also had footage of Rokon's children) and then admittedly destroyed it. Here's the big question Scoops: Why would FP destroy the memory card unless it supported MWC's claims? Smells a little fishy don't ya think? You say there is "press interference." Just who is interfering with whom? I think breaking someone's camera and stealing someone's memory card is pretty "interfering." Both Unite and now you Scoops would much rather this article never happen in the first place. Wonder why. The article also included the fact that Rokon admitted slapping Bob's phone out of his hand. As I said before, why not pick a venue somewhere in your area (The Yard or The Tower on a night they don't have anything else booked) and instead of doing a guerilla battle which MWC tried to stage, make it official and peaceful, and video it so we can all see if MWC is as good as they claim and if stuntdouble Bob is as lame with a mic as Dizzy claims. Dizzy's opinion may be wrong. But I say he has a right to prove it. I'd been some TV news crew would show up.

As I Lay Dying in jail
The bail was reduced from $3-million to $2-million, and Mr. Lambesis was still unable to post it. As some have pointed out, how can he be worth $14-million and not come up with the 10% deposit? That is a good point. I should have pointed out that that figure came from
celebritynetworth.com
which is not exactly Forbes or Moody's, and maybe (probably?) that figure is a little high.

Rhymes to fight
Dear Mr. stitchgiver. Dizzy says he was there. Dizzy and Rokon say everything was documented and their point is proved in the video. And you admit having it and then destroying it.....hmmmmmmm. Dizzy says he is going to respond on this blog later tonight, that he was there but that he got there late. Rokon said that DJ Unite in fact contacted him, imploring him to not talk to the media about this event. I wonder why he would do that? I wonder why you would destroy the video? Unless of course, maybe that what MWC is saying is true. I suggest that MWC and First Power actually do get together for an official verbal battle at a venue. Tape it so everyone can see it on You Tube. We'll see if MWC is as good as they say they are and if stuntdouble bob is as verbally feeble as MWC says he is. How about it? It would clear the air.

As Dizzy says, the truth about the whole night was on the video card. He says if you had not destroyed it, the night's events would be there for everyone to see.

Rhymes to fight
The white rap group was a quote. Sorry if it was incorrect. The rest of the story still stands. Dizzy and Rokon say they did not diss The Tower bar since they never went in. They say beef was with Stuntdouble Bob. The fact is, the video camera was destroyed, and DJ Unite had possession of the memory card, admitted it, and in fact sent out still images from that recording. The memory card was destroyed and not returned. Is any of this not correct?

As I Lay Dying in jail
I found out after deadline that Lambesis fired L.A. attorney Anthony Salerno. No reason was given but one has to wonder if it was because of Salerno's provocative and surprising comment that suggested Lambesis may have been set up by the cops because his brother-in-law is a sheriff deputy. For a subsequent hearing May 16, where Lambesis' bail was reduced from $3-million to $2-million, he was represented by San Diego attorney Thomas Warwick. Neither attorney responded to a request for comment. On another head-scratching attorney comment, the U-T reported that new attorney Warwick stated that Lambesis may have been under the effect of steroid use. Wow. One wonders what possible good this could do. The trial hasn't even started and he is throwing out 'roid rage as a possible factor? One big takeaway from this is how successful Lambesis studios were/are. In the past few years many recording studios have folded up since it is so much easier to self record. They had successful metal bands from everywhere coming to this Escondido industrial park studio for extended recording sessions. No one from the studios, or any of the bands who recorded there who we contacted would comment.

Cantautor Latino Snubs Carlos Olmeda
Linda Zweig did respond by email after deadline. She said it was a mistake for the Fair to have guaranteed Olmeda a 3:50 performance time. She said that Olmeda was told the cutoff time to arrive atthe Special Events trailer was 2:30. Olmeda maintains he was told 2:45. Zweig offered no response or comment about Olmeda's statement that he was told he was disqualified anyway because his "mother" worked at the fair.

Embrace the Suck
Yes. It does seem like the station is sounding nothing like what Rick Jackson said was going to happen. I would interested in hearing what he said. It would be not nice if Jackson was simply telling me what he thought I wanted to hear, when he had no real plans to do that. I am at

Rhymes to fight
The bar had nothing to do with it. Dizzy declined to battle Bob inside Tower but wanted to do it outside. Right or wrong, that's what they were there to do. The article also quoted Rokon and DJ Unite who admitted he had possession of the card and who admitted he destroyed it. Did you miss that? Here's what we know for sure: The First Power people say that Dizzy was not even there. Wrong. Rokon's wife was taping the whole scene, the camera was taken from her and broken. The First Power people got possession of the recording card. The FP people viewed the card (which incidentally also had footage of Rokon's children) and then admittedly destroyed it. Here's the big question Scoops: Why would FP destroy the memory card unless it supported MWC's claims? Smells a little fishy don't ya think? You say there is "press interference." Just who is interfering with whom? I think breaking someone's camera and stealing someone's memory card is pretty "interfering." Both Unite and now you Scoops would much rather this article never happen in the first place. Wonder why. The article also included the fact that Rokon admitted slapping Bob's phone out of his hand. As I said before, why not pick a venue somewhere in your area (The Yard or The Tower on a night they don't have anything else booked) and instead of doing a guerilla battle which MWC tried to stage, make it official and peaceful, and video it so we can all see if MWC is as good as they claim and if stuntdouble Bob is as lame with a mic as Dizzy claims. Dizzy's opinion may be wrong. But I say he has a right to prove it. I'd been some TV news crew would show up.— May 23, 2013 1:02 p.m.
As I Lay Dying in jail
The bail was reduced from $3-million to $2-million, and Mr. Lambesis was still unable to post it. As some have pointed out, how can he be worth $14-million and not come up with the 10% deposit? That is a good point. I should have pointed out that that figure came from celebritynetworth.com which is not exactly Forbes or Moody's, and maybe (probably?) that figure is a little high.— May 23, 2013 11:37 a.m.

Dear Mr. stitchgiver. Dizzy says he was there. Dizzy and Rokon say everything was documented and their point is proved in the video. And you admit having it and then destroying it.....hmmmmmmm. Dizzy says he is going to respond on this blog later tonight, that he was there but that he got there late. Rokon said that DJ Unite in fact contacted him, imploring him to not talk to the media about this event. I wonder why he would do that? I wonder why you would destroy the video? Unless of course, maybe that what MWC is saying is true. I suggest that MWC and First Power actually do get together for an official verbal battle at a venue. Tape it so everyone can see it on You Tube. We'll see if MWC is as good as they say they are and if stuntdouble bob is as verbally feeble as MWC says he is. How about it? It would clear the air.— May 22, 2013 5:36 p.m.

As Dizzy says, the truth about the whole night was on the video card. He says if you had not destroyed it, the night's events would be there for everyone to see.— May 22, 2013 3:35 p.m.

The white rap group was a quote. Sorry if it was incorrect. The rest of the story still stands. Dizzy and Rokon say they did not diss The Tower bar since they never went in. They say beef was with Stuntdouble Bob. The fact is, the video camera was destroyed, and DJ Unite had possession of the memory card, admitted it, and in fact sent out still images from that recording. The memory card was destroyed and not returned. Is any of this not correct?— May 22, 2013 1:06 p.m.
As I Lay Dying in jail
I found out after deadline that Lambesis fired L.A. attorney Anthony Salerno. No reason was given but one has to wonder if it was because of Salerno's provocative and surprising comment that suggested Lambesis may have been set up by the cops because his brother-in-law is a sheriff deputy. For a subsequent hearing May 16, where Lambesis' bail was reduced from $3-million to $2-million, he was represented by San Diego attorney Thomas Warwick. Neither attorney responded to a request for comment. On another head-scratching attorney comment, the U-T reported that new attorney Warwick stated that Lambesis may have been under the effect of steroid use. Wow. One wonders what possible good this could do. The trial hasn't even started and he is throwing out 'roid rage as a possible factor? One big takeaway from this is how successful Lambesis studios were/are. In the past few years many recording studios have folded up since it is so much easier to self record. They had successful metal bands from everywhere coming to this Escondido industrial park studio for extended recording sessions. No one from the studios, or any of the bands who recorded there who we contacted would comment.— May 22, 2013 12:50 p.m.

Cantautor Latino Snubs Carlos Olmeda
Linda Zweig did respond by email after deadline. She said it was a mistake for the Fair to have guaranteed Olmeda a 3:50 performance time. She said that Olmeda was told the cutoff time to arrive atthe Special Events trailer was 2:30. Olmeda maintains he was told 2:45. Zweig offered no response or comment about Olmeda's statement that he was told he was disqualified anyway because his "mother" worked at the fair.— July 5, 2012 12:39 p.m.
Embrace the Suck
Yes. It does seem like the station is sounding nothing like what Rick Jackson said was going to happen. I would interested in hearing what he said. It would be not nice if Jackson was simply telling me what he thought I wanted to hear, when he had no real plans to do that. I am at [email protected] Thank you— July 3, 2012 2:30 p.m.
