Hip-Hop Awards Show Ends Abruptly news.excite.com Updated 6:50 AM ET August 23, 2000 PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - An awards show honoring the best in rap music had to be cut short when a fight broke out in the audience and scores of people tried to rush the stage. When police tried to quell the disturbance Tuesday night at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, several in the audience turned on them and began pelting officers with bottles and compact discs. No one was arrested and no one was reported hurt. The second annual The Source Hip-Hop Awards Show was being taped for broadcast on UPN next week, but network officials said the fate of that broadcast is now in doubt. Last year's awards show produced the highest ratings the network had ever drawn for a Friday night. That show also ranked No. 1 in New York and Miami and No. 1 among teen-age viewers, the network said. Among those being honored at this year's show were Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, who received lifetime achievement awards. The show was sponsored by The Source magazine.
