Rapper to LAPD -- I Have Contempt for You!

We've learned an L.A. County Superior Court judge may hold the LAPD in contempt of court over a hostage situation -- as in holding a famous rapper's loot hostage. Show me the money!

Rapper The Game is currently facing trial on weapons charges. His lawyer claims the LAPD confiscated $44,000 of The Game's money during the criminal investigation and has wrongfully refused to release it.

The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, was in court today and was told he will face the music on Feb. 4 -- that's when his trial begins. The judge also set a hearing for Jan. 22, when he'll decide if the LAPD should be held in contempt of court for withholding the $44 grand.

The LAPD would not comment because of the ongoing investigation.

33. Just another loser! I can't wait till all these cRappers can go away! I do blame these idiot thugs for ruining society and creating this romanticized image of being a total jerk and having no respect for life. The effects of their stupidity runs throughout the world. In Germany kids are sagging their pants, beating each other for fun or trying to create this thug life that really has no rewards for anyone because of cRappers. They think it's cool because the entertainment industry condones it. In Kenya, the kids are also trying to recreate the thug life that is impressed upon them by these successful and rich American rappers, and now young men are going out and killing people to try and be like these rappers. It's scary because it's happening all around the world. These guys personify evil and the record industry amplifies it with millions upon millions of dollars, their romanticizing of the thug image has had negative impact throughout the world. These idiots are idolized, and it's disgusting.

I'm not some uptight parent, I'm a witness. I've been around the world and seen what I'm talking about.

I hope that The Game can soon be The Inmate. None of these guys do any good for anybody. I hope that his $44,000 will be donated to a victims assistance fund for victims of gang related crimes.
