Gun Raps For Hip-Hop Brothers

FEBRUARY 1--Geez, what has the world come to when the arrest of two high-profile rappers on felony gun charges is overlooked by everyone but TSG? Master P (real name: Percy Miller) and his brother Vyshonn (rap name: Silkk the Shocker) were busted last Thursday in Los Angeles when cops discovered two handguns in a car carrying the siblings. According to a police spokesperson, the auto, driving adjacent to the UCLA campus, was pulled over because it had no license plates. During the 11:40 PM traffic stop, officers found two loaded gats in the leased Chrysler 300 and arrested the Millers (Vyshonn, 29, was driving, while Percy, 37, was in the front passenger seat). Cops saw one gun near the driver's seat and the other weapon was stashed beneath the passenger seat. Two other passengers were not charged. Hit with felony weapons possession counts, the rappers were each released on $35,000 bond after spending a few hours in the custody of the L.A. Sheriff's Department. Since the arrest report is not a public document, below you'll find booking information on the Millers (Percy is pictured at left, while Vyshonn is at right). Percy, a New Orleans native, is founder of No Limit Records and the father of pint-sized rapper Lil' Romeo, with whom he recently starred in a Nickelodeon series. Vyshonn's most recent release, 2004's 'Based on a True Story,' sold poorly, opening at only #88 on the Billboard charts. (2 pages)
