held. According to reports, the incident occurred Friday (Dec. 15) during a Mobb
Deep performance in Belgium. The fan began fighting with security after being
kicked out of the VIP area of the club. According to sources, a the fan returned
to the venue with friends after leaving the club and the collective sprayed the
VIP area with bottles, injuring G-Unit member 40 Glocc. The rapper received a
cut on his hand after one of the bottles ricocheted off the wall, hitting him.

Brooklyn record store Beat Street has officially closed its doors, citing a downturn
in record sales. According to reports, the legendary store, which was opened in
1995 on Fulton Street, could not compete with the Internet, a trend that has also
forced the shutdown of numerous mom and pop stores and majors like Tower Records,
which will close all stores by the end of 2006.
