Geraldo Rivera segment on Big Lurch
While watching the above video, please take a moment to laugh at the fear mongering claims of the federal bureaucrat, and the Fox News piece as a whole, that decriminalized marijuana is somehow leading to a rise in PCP use.
You'll have to excuse me if this is old news to some of you, but as I don't follow the Texas underground rap scene too closely I only recently became aware of the story of Antron Singleton, a rapper better known by his stage name of Big Lurch. Lurch is currently serving a life sentence for murder, a point of note that wouldn't be all that remarkable, let alone Halloween related, if it weren't for the details surrounding the murder. I'll let Wikipedia take it from here:
"On April 10, 2002, 25-year-old Singleton murdered Tynisha Ysais in her Los Angeles, California, apartment. Her boyfriend Thomas Moore testified that he and Singleton spent the evening prior to the murder smoking PCP.
The victim was found in her apartment by her friend Alisa Allen. Her chest had been torn open and a three-inch blade was found broken off in her shoulder blade. Tooth marks were found on her face and on her lungs, which had been torn from her chest. Eyewitnesses reported that when Singleton was picked up by police, he was naked, covered in blood, standing in the middle of the street and screaming at the sky. A medical examination performed shortly after his capture found human flesh in his stomach which was not his own."
After the PCP wore off, Singleton told investigators that he believed Ysais was the Devil and that by killing (and eating) her he was preventing the end of the world. Witnesses claimed that at the time of his arrest Lurch was still chewing the dead woman's flesh. A bizarre story, no doubt, but it lends a macabre air of authenticity to his brand of horrorcore rap.
Here's one of the songs that Lurch recorded before the murder, which in light of the events that would follow puts anything The Gravediggaz ever put out seem quite comical in comparison. Stress Free Entertainment, in a rather blatant attempt to cash in on the publicity, released this song a couple of years after the murder as part of an album full of unreleased Lurch songs:
