Akon's Artist Dolla & 2 Pistols Get Into Scuffle At Pre-BET Awards Event

As the hip-hop industry descends on Los Angeles for the 2008 BET Awards, rappers from all over have made their way around the city, hitting parties and media covered events.

When rivals are in the same space, sometimes conflict arises, and did so during a media day event held at the Shrine Auditorium on Monday (June 23) a day before the ceremony.

According to reports from the artist's camp, Akon's 20-year-old artist, Dolla, got into a minor scuffle with Florida rapper 2 Pistols, which resulted in 2 Pistols -- who has been enjoying success with his hit single "She Got It" featuring T-Pain -- being knocked out.

Dolla's camp confirmed with BallerStatus.com that an altercation took place after he heard about recent public statements made by 2 Pistols claiming Dolla had "no street credibility and isn't really a rap artist from the streets."

These words stuck with Dolla. When he ran into 2 Pistols during Monday's media event, Dolla claims he confronted the rapper, which escalated into a scuffle, resulting in 2 Pistols being knocked out by "a single jab," his camp claims.

2 Pistols tells a very different story. He claims the argument was over his hit single, "She Got It" featuring T-Pain, which Dolla allegedly felt was supposed to go to him first. The Florida rapper claims the argument ended, he walked away, and then was sucker-punched. When he tried to strike back (grabbing a chair in the process), he says cops grabbed him, and Dolla and his entourage fled in the vehicles.

The "She Got It" rapper says he's got a cut on his lip, but is fine.

Dolla's camp says a YouTube video explaining the incident will be upped to the internet Tuesday (June 24).

We'll keep you updated as this develops.

2 Pistols - Death Before Dishonor
Friday, June 20, 2008 | Author: Anthony Springer

Florida has played a pivotal role in Hip Hop’s development. Way back when, Luke [click to read] and 2 Live Crew helped usher in the era that made the girls get down on the floor, and then went to battle with the government over their right to make music that made girls get down on the floor. Trick Daddy [click to read] emerged in the '90s, Slip-N-Slide crew in tow and the new millennium unleashed Rick Ross [click to read], Plies [click to read] and T-Pain on the world. It’s a new year, and it’s 2 Pistols’ [click to read] turn to rep the Sunshine State. Hailing from Tarpon Springs, his first round in the clip, Death Before Dishonor is a rollercoaster of an attempt to put his city on the Hip Hop map.

With fellow Floridian T-Pain in two, Pistols (or the more radio friendly alias, "2 P’s") scored a radio hit with “She Got It.” The only problem with the track is that P fails to craft a memorable verse, allowing Pain to outshine him with the catchy hook. No matter how much you hate the song, when you hear the beat drop and T-Pain comes in with the “I know she got cause she lookin' at me like she want it/droppin low make me wanna throw some D’s on it…” there’s nothing to be done but sing along.

Death Before Dishonor suffers the same fate as many of today’s albums: limited subject matter and poor execution of said subject matter. In what has to be one of the worst blunders in album sequencing history, “Been Throwing Money” is immediately followed by “Getting Money Mane” with the latter offering the following lyrical gems: “Young boss, I got tall money/you comin' short dog, with your midget money” and “Put a hole in ya ass like a hula hoop.”

The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League produced “Let’s Ride” is easily one of the album’s most enjoyable cuts. It’s here that the listener will find 2 P’s in his comfort zone, flowing easily over a potential summer anthem. On the flipside, “Flexx 2008” will find its way to a youngster’s “get the draws” mixtape, but will elicit cries of musical blasphemy from anyone old enough to remember the Mad Cobra original. It’s a hit and miss track, the beat hits, the lyrics miss.

Beats and hooks aren’t enough to save “Death” from becoming a disaster worthy of FEMA’s assistance. Ray J [click to read] pops up on “You Know Me” while Trey Songz lends his talents to “That’s My Word” but, in the end, it just isn’t enough. Note to rappers and label executives: all the swagger and overpowering bass in the world does not a good album make. The excesses of life are fully on display “Lookin Down On Em” and “Candy Coated Diamonds”—both of which will have unsuspecting listeners clamoring for the forward button.

To be fair, there are a couple tracks that show some promise, but with the bulk of an album full of rehashed and overdone commercial Hip Hop themes, 2 Pistols may not get a chance to have a sophomore jinx.
