Florida rapper Plies has been hit with a $10 million lawsuit alleging negligence after five concert goers were injured in a 2006 shooting.
The lawsuit filed at the Alachua County civil courthouse Tuesday morning claims Plies, real name Algernod Lanier Washington, Slip-N-Slide Records, and the 238 West nightclub were negligent with the safety of concert goers by allowing weapons inside the venue.
According to the Gainesville Sun, shortly before the club was set to close on July 2, 2006, Gainesville Police reported members of the rapper's entourage pulled out guns and fired. Five people were injured during the incident involving a sold-out crowd of about 1,000 people who had gathered to see Plies and another performer.
Police arrested four people including Plies, who later pled no contest to a misdemeanor charge of possession of a concealed weapon.
In other news…
Gainesville attorney Christopher Chestnut said the five injured concert goers are seeking $10 million in damages.
Plies attorney, Robert Rush, denounced the suit against his client stating “If they're suing Mr. Washington, they're suing the wrong person. He does not have legal liability. It is not an entertainer's job to provide security for a club where the entertainer is performing.”

Damn!
Plies Ain't Got That Type Of Money.....Niggaz Really Gettin Money Crazy SMH HA HA...SCREAM AT ME,1..
...that nigga got gwap.. 10 mill is prolly all that nigga got tho.. n he aint gonna pay that.. off top its cheaper to get that nigga knocked off.. n his lawyer is right.. he dont sign nothin that say he gotta protect all them ppl.. so this shouldnt even have made any media source.
There goes all his ring tone loot!
i live in gainesville and go to uf. i remember when this shit happened, and it's crazy because a lot of people asked if i was goin to the plies concert, and i said, "hell no! i don't feel like getting shot." plies is a decent rapper for the south, but in his songs all he does is blame white people/crackers for his problems. that's too bad for Algernod, which i had to lmao after hearing that is his real name. i guess he can blame this lawsuit on crackers as well.
bitch ass fags tryin to get some money
piff, wtf did u just say?
kool and learn how spell *behalf not behave l0l get back in skool my nig l0l!
lmao^
THE NAME I GAVE A LIL TO COOL FOR U MY BAD
MUNNY
he definitely doesnt have 10 mill. but his next ten mill could be goin to them
see what niggas fail to realize, plies spits da truth even though his style aint the fuckin greatest. id rather hear a nigga with no style spit shit that actually means something than a nigga with a smooth flow spit about nothin ya dig!
^^^^so basically you'd rather listen to someone with no talent spit about some real shit. that is some ignorant shit. well why don't go talk to some homeless people. they'll tell you about some real shit goin on in the streets, and they might even rap too, but the shit is gonna suck, but i'm sure you'll like it cuz it some "real shit."

I can honestly say ive neer actualy studided Plies musc 2 kno wat da fuc k da nigga b talkin bout. But stil Its never good 2 c a nigga bout 2 lose 10 mil dat he dont have. Good luck Plies

PLIES IS NOT HIP-HOP!!!!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU CALL THAT BULLSHIT HE PUTS OUT...
""damn they love bringin hiphop artist down for bullshit!!!""
you are dumb as fuck. since when is five random people getting shot just bullshit? if that was your sister that got shot i'm sure you'd have a diff perspective. plies' bodyguards are some reckless idiots who fired indiscriminately into the crowd. sue the fuck out of em. they'll prob just settle out of court for a mill or two.
^^^^^^^^^lmao folk you crazy^^^^^^^^^^^^

All i say is listen to a nigga dont hate cuz he south my nigga. Sit back and listen and take a ride through the south cuz niggaz like this paint a good pic 4 u
Its obvious Nabahood aint never heard a Plies album or mixtapes bcuz that nigga talks about real shit. Niggas on here quick to judge anybody based off of singles...smh
If you actually listened to his music you'd understand why his singles are like that. The nigga is far from commercial, do a lil research before you make a bullshit comment like that.
YEA KING MAN THIS NIGGA MUST B ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS. NABAHOOD APPARENTLY THIS SHIT NOT FOR U ANYWAY. IF HE DONT REPRESENT U THEN HIS MUSIC CLEARLY NOT FOR U. GO LISTEN TO SOME FUCKIN CHUBB ROCK, OR PRINCE OR SOMETHIN
I feel you folk. Niggahs always hating on the SOUTH! We rap about the same shit these up north Cats rap about. Just a different accent and delivery. Since they don't understand they just HATE, but that's what they good at!.!. Peace Up
U didn't listen to his album did you dumbass. He got 3 songs like that on the album & they're all hits. The rest of the album he's on some real ass shit. You gotta do shit like that to sell records.
This nigga talked about REAL shit his whole ALBUM, which obviously you never heard. You gotta listen to his album b4 you call him commercial my nigga.
Again I say, he has 3 songs like that, & all of em were hit singles. The rest of his album is filled with real shit.
Once again, go listen to the album, then holla @ me bcuz obviously you ain't heard it.
This is bullshit ...
They get shot in '06 ... wanna sue in '08
another moron. it's takes a long time for lawsuits to build enough evidence before they go public. what, and you thought the legal system moves quickly?
looks like Piles needs a true/new/real testemeant here if he don't wanna drop the soap
SHINEST8BOY is a fuckin idiot!!!... First of all, all them gay shit is unnecessary... That just goes to show you got a bit of homo in you...
Second, Plies and damn near 90% of music that come out the south is WACK!!! Hove spoke about hustlin when he was younger cuz he was slangin when he was younger... Don't you ever bring Jay-Z and Plies up again in the same sentence you retard...
Third, Learn how to speak and write you illiterate ass, low comprehensive, remedial bafoon...
That's all... Oh and Plies will get off, ain't enough evidence to support those dumb niggaz claims...1
So what southern albums have you seriously listened to that you consider trash?
Seriously, name enough albums that would even come close to backing the statement that you made about 90% of the south being wack. I mean, that is what you judge off of, albums, not singles right? I think your smarter than that...
90%!!!! Niggah you must be smoking that shit IDIOT! So you telling me TI, Outkast, 8 Ball&MJG, UGK rip Pimp C, Scarface, Yung Jeezy, Chamillionaire and I can name alot more are TRASH? STFU you Buffoon and go listen to your Vanilla Ice greatest hits CD or MC Hammer!! If you stay upstairs in a apartment do me a favor! "Open your window and Jump Out". Peace Up
saying plies is hip hop is as stupid as saying the atlanta hawks is going to win the nba finals
lmfao. but hey, they got a shot if they make that final spot in the east. naw, they're done.
Got damn my nigga its like that, i dont see where i called nobody gay u prick, ya homeboy up top did so i was sayin why the fuck yall gotta say a nigga suck dick on every st8ment u fuck niggaz write. and my bad for just typin and not hittin the shift key, get ur panties out a bunch school boy.jay-z plies now what u gone do punch the computer, jay-z plies there it is again.the shit wack cuz u dont live it my nigga. Since yall use shit like psychological and chronological and all other ogicals shit dont make u niggaz no smarter.and the nigga just made american gangster. Plus if anybody had jay money/career im sure they'd stop 2. And 100 percent of yall shit suck cuz u niggaz keep pullin ancient albums comparing them to other shit. Stop living in the past fuckboy cuz north is irrelevant right now
First off Plies couldn't make 10 mill if he even wanted. His material is just like all them other southern rappers who think all kids want to here is about chicks with fat ass & tits, cars, his money, and partyin' ect. well Fuck that give me a real lyricist.
Another ignorant mutha fucka right here. So listen to any Plies album & tell me when you hear him talking about money, cars, clothes, & jewelry. He doesn't have a single like that, and the only song I know where he flosses a lil bit is Got Em Hatin.
I bought his album & heard a few mixtapes and he also said "I don't think it's right for somebody to put out an album talking about how much money they got & how big their house is bcuz people pay their money for this and that aint doing the people justice."
Don't speak on what you don't know my nigga.
Talkin to gunna and who eva else feel like this nigga
lol his name is Algernod...
lmao dis nigga got an ugly ass name haha. n fuck plies, hes wack..talkin all dis gangsta shit and all his songs are about bein hypnotized and shit from a girl..i never understood y niggas in da music industry make songs braggin about how they make it rain and blow money on bitches like its nothin..FUCK DA BULLSHIT, im countn my money down to da fuckin penny. aint no bitch bad enuff to make me throw all my money away lol..and dis nigga aint even bust, his body guards pulled out guns. come on nooow. we all kno plies aint got no type of money, suck to b him. at least maybe dis will make him stop rappin cuz all da frauds needa b weeded out...and im out HOLLLLAAAAA
Yo yall niggaz iz birds. Da boy plies got some hard shit on his album! U dumb fuckers only go off what u hear on the radio...n even that shit iz aight cuz itz 4 niggaz who get pussy n da bitchs that give it. He aint the best rapper but he aint wack either. Wanna hear hard shit? Listen 2 "I kept it too real" or "goons lurkin"
damn i didnt realize niggas hated plies this much... ive heard a few songs and a few verses on remixes and he sound cool to me, dudes just luv hatin though dont they
yea plies aint a real lyricist but im really feeling that song Runing my momma crazy..
"You wrote bad checks for me to have somethin' to wear
You risked ya freedom for me nowadays that's real rare
Everytime I think about the shit I wanna shed a tear
That's why I buy ya somethin' for Father's Day every year"
If u was raised by a sinlge mother u defintely can relate to those lyrics
Dat shit sound hot!
Yeah a real sloooooowww day if peoples is arguin over Plies. I dont really listen to him, or ever have for that matter. He had alright bars in "I'm so hood", but other than that I really cant name a Plies song. I think he's going to fade away in the next year or so. His catalouge so far is very unimpressive, no classic joints at all. Throw him in the same group as Hurricane Chris, Soulja Boy, Mims and Huey, The forgotten ones.
thats what im sayin, u say a nigga gone fade away and dont even listen to the man. he gone fade from up north but nigga get heavy play this way this nigga speak real shit if u want to believe it or not no its not on no political shit or nothing but shit the songs like 100 years and shit where he serious the lil nigga know what he talking about
Hurricane Chris & Plies in a totally different league than Soulja Boy, Mims, or Huey if you listen to their ALBUM.
Chris got a nice ass flow, & Plies just spit like a real ass nigga.
Why do nigga's call somebody trash if they've never heard their actual album? I was just wondering that.
Yeah I never heard Hurricane Chris album either. I hated dat A bay bay shit but I seen him on shit here and there after dat and I could tell dat he was better than what I saw on dat song
I still cant say whether he's wack or not but he do got a nice delivery!
I feel you N-Word, this might not increase your interest in the album but XXL did give Hurricane Chris' album an XL rating when it reviewed it.
yea man these niggaz be talking like these dudes the worst to ever rap when in actuality besides norths main stream rappers that aint but about 4, these so called wack south rappers still sell more than the rest of the niggax that live hip hop. damn my nigga lil boosie sold 100k and niggaz act like he need to fall off the earth it might not be that much but its way more than ur favorite rapper outside mainstream. stop downing our shit and support ur own. and north niggaz alwayz the first to write some hatin ass comment, u dont hear no southern cats callin out pap or whoever else is up there, u niggaz just be hatin gyaaaad lee
Cosign...Them niggas talk about us, but in actuality they're the ignorant ones bcuz they'r e constantly hating on shit they know nothing about.
big ups shinest8boy
thats real talk
north niggas is always the first to say some dumb shit.
i fuck wit northern rappers but really.. who hotter than the south right now???
Fuck that North South talk...I'm in Kansas!! We are right dab in the middle of it all. So I guess I'm "blessed" with the fact that I'm free to choose to who I want ot listen to. I have no bias towards any region, at all. Oh yeah Game, Jay, Em(new album soon), and Ghostface have all recorded classics in the past 3 years that would eat the south up. American Gangster has spwaned how many remix mixtapes??? And how many DJ's have remixed a Boosie, Plies or Webbie album??? Even Wayne(Yalls God) released an American Gangster mixtape. So yeah fuck Plies, and the rest I named. Just cuz its hot, for a lil bit, dosent mean it's classic or timeless. Get your mind right. Only real dudes reppin the south are 8 ball&MJG, Scarface, Outkast and Luda.
Get your mind right before you come at me^^^^
You must have never heard a Plies, Webbie, Boosie, Z-Ro, UGK, Soulja Slim, Mac, or Pastor Troy, or Playa Fly album if you think those are the only real niggas in the south.
The south got way more real niggas spitting than up north.
If you could read YounG TimothY you would see that i said i fucks wit up north rappers. I got tons of up north shit as well as west coast and even midwest. But, im sayin just quit the hatin. and bruh game is on the westcoast get YOUR mind right
Yeah I dont think Plies is no great lyricist but dat dont mean he cant make good music!
Tupac/Pimp C/50 cent
none of them are great lyricist but they are all known for having great music.
If u really pay attention you will see that a nigga wit an average flow has a better chance of makin a hit than a nigga who spits his ass off
The average listener is dense!
Tupac wasn't a great lyricist? You fuckin lost it. I like Pimp C, and 50 was hot a few years ago, but neither was, is, over ever will be in the same league as Tupac.
U dont know what chu talkin bout Homie!
U missed the whole fuckin point!
i'm just sayin that 2pac is in a whole other leauge compared to Pimp C, 50, or plies. Tupac was more then just an average lyricist.
"Allow me to introduce first, Makaveli the Don
THysterical, spiritual lyrics like the holy Qu'Ran
Niggaz get shook like 5-0
My forty-five gun's next to me when we ride, for survival
Money makin plans, pistol close at hand, swollen pockets
Let me introduce the topic, then we drop it
Expose snakes cause they breath freely, see me ride?
Located world wide like the art of graffiti
I think I'm tougher than Nitti, my attitude is shitty
Colder than a dopefiend's titty... huh
In every city you'll find me
Look for trouble right behind me
My Outlaw niggaz down to die for me, knahmean?
I hit the scene niggaz duckin from my guillotine stare
I'm right there; my every word, a fuckin nightmare"
Today's rappers can't fuck with that
b freeze u do realize theres a difference between lyricism and content? i completely agree wit you that tupac is way ahead of c n 50 but pac is great because of his messages in his music. hes not the best in the 'word play' catagory, hes just a real rapper.
