<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> A little after midnight Thursday, two security guards at the Vogue made their way to the back door and people in the crowd began to stare. A few minutes later, the reason for the commotion came through the door. Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest had arrived for his first local rap performance. Decked out in all white, Artest took the stage for nearly 40 minutes, performing a number of raps he's written. The 6-7 basketball star bounced around the stage, a white hat with his record label, TruWarier, emblazoned in black letters, tilted on his head. Artest seemed as comfortable on stage as he is on the court defending an opponent's best player. "Pacers won, yeah, yeah, yeah," he said as he grabbed the mike following his introduction to a crowd estimated at 500. "They say I can't play till next year, but I'll be back next year."</div> Source There goes the neighborhood.....
