Violence Erupts at Rap Music Event? I'm Shocked.

In Arlington, Virginia police were called out when fights erupted at the posh Crystal City Hyatt during an awards ceremony honoring rap and hip-hop performers. The brawl was captured on video which was then aired on a Fox News segment. Five people were treated for injuries by paramedics and one person had to be hospitalized. No arrests were reported.

Of course, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and the boys never had such problems. For that matter, neither did Elvis or the Beatles. But then the music they performed didn't glorify pimps, pushers or capping cops.

Sigh. The devolution of culture continues.
