In case you didn’t know, June was Black Music Month. Therefore, it’s rather fitting that we have two BACS honorable mentions from the world of hip-hop that were collared last month for DWI.

Many rappers are known for wearing lots of showy jewelry. Thanks to the po-po, Mrs. Snoop Dogg and Young Jeezy got to wear some additional gleamin’ bling on their wrists after each of them were arrested for driving while crunk.

Representing the West Coast was 32-year-old Shante Broadus, wife of Grammy-nominated rap icon and former little league football coach Snoop Dogg. According to police in Fullerton, California, Broadus was stopped just past midnight on June 14.

Five-O slapped the cuffs on D-O-Double G’s boo and took her ass downtown. After being booked on suspicion of driving under the influence, Broadus was issued a citation to appear in court and released.

As for the rest of the details of her arrest, there’s not much else to tell. It seems that authorities are keeping the case on the down low.

A few days later, up in the ATL, multi-platinum-selling rapper Young Jeezy was bagged up by Atlanta police after being pulled over for speeding on the Buford Highway near Interstate 85. After stopping the 30-year-old, hip-hop star (whose real name is Jay Jenkins) around 2:30 a.m. on June 18, the arresting officer noticed his white Corvette had no license plate. Of course, maybe the cop just didn’t see it on account of Jeezy’s ride be shining like the mutha-f–kin’ sun … even at 2:30 in the morning.

Along with DUI, the self-acclaimed “Go Getta” was charged with speeding, reckless driving, missing tags, driving with no proof of insurance, and driving with an open container. Jeezy was taken in, booked at a nearby station, and released on bail several hours later.

His July 17 court date should do nothing but help him move more copies of his new album, The Recession, which drops in August. After all, nothing sells rap records like incarceration.

In honor of these two prominent figures from hip-hop nation, we’ve given each of the top ten BACS contestants a rap identity. Keep in mind that all of these are real stage names. Trust us: We’re not that creative.

As for the artists whose names we use, we know some of y’all are some hardcore thugs. Please remember, it’s just jokes, bro-ham. A’ight? No, seriously, a’ight?

Our top ten contestants were arrested and booked for suspicion of driving while intoxicated according to The Advocate reports from May 26 – June 22, 2008.

10. Johnny Derand F., 45, 4587 Cadillac St., 1^st-offense DWI, speeding 95 mph in a 50 mph zone, and reckless operation.

With that type of speed, Johnny is DJ Quik, who had the hit album Under tha Influence. Since he’s a Cadillac Street resident, he also qualified to be a member of the Kadalack Boyz.

9. Tray W., 25, 1^st-offense DWI, domestic abuse battery, driver’s license not in possession, and expired license plate.

Since he likes to hit things, Tray’s rap identity is MC Hammer. He may not hang out with Primetime like the parachute-panted one, but he’s definitely “Too Legit to Quit” beating the crap out of his woman. Don’t hurt ‘em, Hammer. Oh well, too late. If his defense attorney fails to keep him out of jail, will he become a “serving” Tray?

8. Jimmie B., 39, 1^st-offense DWI, seat-belt violation, disobeying a red light, open-container violation, possession of cocaine, and bringing contraband into a penal institution.

Thanks to his love for “sugar,” Jimmie’s rap name is none other than that of a member of the renowned Juice Crew, Big Daddy Kane.

7. Taisean Demetrius O., 32, 3^rd-offense DWI, improper lane usage, and failure to or improper signal.

Taisean is local hip-hop star Lil’ Boosie’s crunk alter ego, Lil’ Boozie. Some mornings, he wakes up a lil’ woozie in bed with a lil’ floozie, but it’s all good, cuz he’s not even a lil’ choozie.

6. Bradley S., 21, 3^rd-offense DWI, reckless operation, and failure to signal.

Due to his penchant for wearing bling and watching Dukes of Hazzardreruns, Bradley is duly dubbed Roscoe P. Coldchain. His driving skills also make him eligible to become a member of Wreckx-n-Effect.

5. Robert B., 33, 3^rd-offense DWI, headlights required, improper lane usage, reckless operation, attempted simple escape, and resisting an officer.

Because he’s an aspiring escape artist, Robert’s hip-hop alter ego is Whodini.

4. Jesse Randall E., 22, 3^rd-offense DWI, improper lane usage, hit and run, driver’s license suspended or revoked, possession of Schedule II drugs, and possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance.

Jesse is Tek, half of the hardcore rap duo Smif-n-Wessun, which had a huge hit (and run) entitled “Wrekonize.”

3. Anthony H., 43, 4^th-offense DWI, disobeying a red light, and open-container violation.

In addition to being a huge fan of the late Jim Backus, Anthony reportedly also constantly has a drink within reach (thus, the open-container charge). Fittingly, his rap persona is Thirstin Howl III, whose most notable release was the 2002 album Skilligan’s Island.

2. Francisco Ramirez, 57, of Walker, 4^th-offense DWI, careless operation, no driver’s license on person, and failure to change address.

Francisco prefers to imbibe mixed drinks and has a nasty gastrointestinal problem. That’s why he’s Sir Mix-A-Lot, who, along with “Baby Got Back,” also recorded the single “Rippin’.”

1. Johnny W., 50, 4^th-offense DWI, driver’s license suspended or revoked, speeding, tail lamps required, and possession of Schedule I drugs.

It’s been said Johnny’s drunk driving is like poetry in motion. Therefore, his “nom de rhyme” is Edgar Allen Floe.

Congratulations, Johnny. You’ve won this installment of the Blood Alcohol Championship. We’ll all be looking out for you on the roads. To claim your trophy, simply pick up a copy of Red Shtick and cut it out. Just be careful not to cut your finger in the process.
