It's better to get something worthwhile done using deception than to fail to get something worthwhile done using truth. Besides, while all deception requires secrecy, all secrecy is not meant to deceive. The Jewelry Man.telling you that deceiving others is what the world calls romance.

In "Guess who's playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with a pistol" news, the Philadelphia po-po are still skeptical that the homey Beanie Sigel was shot twice during a failed robbery attempt.

Oh really EbenGregory.does this mean the Broad Street Bully has the Hip-Hop cops hot on his tail and while giving him some unwanted wanted attention?

Yes.

Here's the background: According to Sigel, on May 25th, five black men in two cars cornered him while he was in his vehicle. One of the men then relieved him of a watch and a chain worth $75,000 and $3,000 in cash. As a added bonus, the strong-arm robbery specialist attempted to give him a wet t-shirt.

And now.the drama.

Here's Philadelphia Detective Tracy Byard to The Philadelphia Daily News on Beanie Sigel playing games and allegedly telling lies: He told us that he that he arrived at the hospital alone shortly after 7 am wounded, but it wasn't true. There's video of him inside the hospital with another guy. You see them walking up to the emergency room and talking and then Beanie hands the guy something.

Here's more Philadelphia Detective Tracy Byard to The Philadelphia Daily News on Beanie Sigel playing games and allegedly telling lies: We knocked on at least 30 doors in that area, and no one heard a thing. No one believes him. We don't believe he was shot in South Philly. There's a million-and-one holes in his story. But because he's a rapper, he is not going to cooperate with police. It goes against everything he stands for.

Here's Beanie Sigel to a weekly hip-hop show on Sirius Satellite Radio giving his take on the shooting: I am on federal parole, so I can't get into details, but give me another nine months and I will tell y'all exactly what the deal was. I am going to get me a big pint of [cough] syrup, like a hundred xanies, I am gonna smoke me some real good weed, and I am gonna lock myself in the studio for two months and I'm gonna put out a double CD. I ain't answering questions. Wait till my album drops.

That's nice.like saying "I used to have a drug problem, but now I make enough money." And speaking of purple rain.

Here's some pawn-shop jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Beans smoking la-la-la and playing games with the po-po: Society prepares the crime, the criminal commits it.
