Three 6 Mafia Settles Three-Year Dispute

Posted by John Branston on Mon, Dec 4, 2006 at 4:00 AM

Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia has finally reached a settlement — the details of which have not been disclosed to the public — in the case of a fan who was supposedly beaten during a particularly rowdy rendition of "Let's Start a Riot" at a club in Pittsburgh in 2003. The Associated Press reported late last week that Ramone Williams was financially compensated by the rappers for the toe-up compilation of injuries that allegedly resulted from lyric-to-action-driven fans at the concert. Williams' physical damage from the incident includes a broken jaw from a foot in the face.

The rappers will now presumably tell fans not to take the song literally before performing it live.

  • NYT's Ode to Midtown Memphis

    Didja see the long piece on "indie" Memphis in The New York Times' travel section today?

    Here's a taste: "This is indie Memphis, a long way from the tourist crush of Beale Street and Graceland, in spirit if not in actual distance. Midtown, just a short drive from a downtown famous for its blues, jazz and barbecue hounds, is its hipster epicenter. a diverse area that is now home to posh cocktail bars as well as divey rock clubs and longstanding juke joints. It parties late, very late, and stays friendly through the night."
