Police break up 2000 Source Awards

This link explains in detail about the event, and I agree it can be viewed as a reflection of Hip Hop instead of a few individuals starting trouble. 

 DJ Quik fight at Source Awards

This link is ashame and embarrasing to watch, especially for the Hip Hop culture! Someone actually video taped the fight DJ Quik was trying to breakup, but he was arrested by the police. [Video provided by Youtube.com]

Prior to the 2000 Source Awards show, there was an incident with the East Coast & West Coast rivalries between P. Diddy &  Suge Knight. This incident should have indicated the need for more security. Instead of banning the Source Awards from Pasadena as the end result.

The bad publicity caused TV networks to pull the Source Awards shows from the air. The following year it was held in Miami, Florida, but it is uncertain if TV networks will continue to air the show.

Another example of a Poor Event Management Incident occurred at The 2004 Vibe Awards, when Hip-Hop Super Producer Dr. Dre was assaulted on stage and then defended by members of his entourage.
