It varies by state, and generally you have to show that (1) you didn't usee any more force than the person being attacked would have used, (2) you believed that the person attacked could have used force to defend themselves, (3) the person attacked was in danger of being hurt. But yeah if you're out with your girl and someone physically assaults her, you can legally back that ass up.

The release of Game's CD (Doctor's Advocate) has been readily embraced by the hip hop community but where is Dr. Dre? Seems the 50 cent beef has caused friction within the Aftermath family and like the father figure Game reported Dre as being, Dad is administering some tuff love. Without so much as a word from Dre, an Aftermath logo or a track from the Doctor, Game has reached deep within the bowels of self preservation to come up with a solid performance. Can Dre respect the Game, or is it truly a rap?

Oprah Winfrey has been catching attitude from Gangsta Rap Stars for not being invited to appear on her show. Ice Cube & 50 cent have both directed comments at the Queen of day time television talk show for not being allowed to plant their hip hop asses on her couch. Here's a suggestion boys, teach her how to stunt with a couch of your own.

Let us start by saying Ice Cube is a legend, ok but the streets are commenting on "Laugh Now, Cry Later" Cube's latest release and word is the once Ice Cube has become watered down. With only a few tracks worth listening too, many are starting to say maybe he no longer has the stomach for rap. E.F. Hutton had this to say "Ice Cube is a writer and all writer's need stimulation. It is our job at UAC to rekindle the flame within the lyricists, forcing all writer's to write well." Hmm, with that said maybe Laugh Now, Cry Later takes on a different meaning.

50cents has criticized the Game's writing skills, he has stated Game's new album will not be released under Aftermath and/ or G-Unit, he has went so far as to say the "Doctor's Advocate" (the title of Game's upcoming album) is a play on words in an effort to stabilize his dwindling fan base. Meanwhile Lil Eazy E has taken shots at the Game for supposedly using his pop's (the late Eazy E) likeness and credibility to launch an undeserving career. I'm sure most of us have heard the saying "Dont' hate the Game, hate the player" but what happens when their one in the same?

Ten years after the Las Vegas incident 2Pac fans are still asking the question is he dead or alive.

Whatever the case UAC would like to pay tribute to the life of 2Pac for he has touched so many of us. May your legacy live on Mr. Shakur as the fans you left behind struggle to define your absense.

The three strikes law in california is putting the lives of many innocent men & women at risk. The law requires a 25 to life prison term for a third strike offense which may otherwise be a misdeameanor if not for the consideration of prior offenses. Rather than risk life in prison, many innocent victims are plea bargaining to lesser time. Admitting to a crime not committed is considered the lesser of two evils in many cases.
