Sadat X Arrested...?!??

Huh? This just doesn't sound right, there has to be more (or less) to this story then the dumbass NY Post gave us:

Sadat X Arrested on Gun Charges
A rapper who describes himself as a "Wild Cowboy" allegedly acted like an Old West gunslinger this week when he waved a large pistol at three teens in Harlem, police said yesterday.

Hip hop star Sadat X, of the group Brand Nubian, allegedly boasted "I'm going to kill everybody" as he flashed a loaded .40-caliber black Beretta at a group of 18-year-olds at West 158th Street and Broadway Thursday, according to cops.

Police sources said X also told the youths, "I'm looking for a guy with braids." After cops from the 33rd Precinct were called to the scene, the victims pointed out X, who was still standing across the street with the pistol.

When police attempted to arrest the 37-year-old, whose real name is Derek Murphy, he ran. He was tackled quickly. He was arraigned yesterday in Manhattan Supreme Court on charges of criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment and resisting arrest.

Sadat X and Brand Nubian are most famous for the 1993 song "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down."

Well Sadat is booked (no pun intended) to come to the radio show in January, so hopefully we'll get to the bottom of all this soon.

"Sadat X and Brand Nubian are most famous for the 1993 song 'Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down.'"

And not "Slow Down"? Typical of the Post that they'd play up the gangsta angle.

1 Love to Sadat X! It's two side to every story. All I know is what I read. Someone could have slapped his mother, so I have always got both sides. Then talk! Real Talk

Kinda seems crazy
but maybe he was pushed 2 the edge
We don't know the ledge
And he hasn't made a pledge
In front of no judge
So I aint gonna budge
Till I know the truth
I want sadat back up in the booth
Spitin those vocals
Over seas and 2 the Locals
He got a voice like no otha
A brand nubian brotha
X mrarks the spot
Spot light on the stage
Thats how we do writin rhymes on a page
A hip hop ledgend we need back soon
So to this website ill remain tuned!

Lemme know what happens!
