I went to Ice Cube on Monday night at HOB. I walked in about 9:35pm, bought a drink at the bar, and meandered my way to the floor BEFORE the show had even started! I had taken two or three sips and stopped in a spot where a woman immediately signaled to a security guard pal of hers (conjecture and speculation) and gestured that I needed to be removed! Miss Lady Security swooped in with two men behind her, and immediately pushed me spilled my drink and told me I needed to leave. I had told her I had done nothing wrong. When she grabbed me again, I protested by going limp. She had to carry my 90lb 5' self out of the club. There, the indifferent manager didn't offer any condolence that I had just spent over $150 + the drinks. The security guard asked if I'd like to be escorted by West Hollywoods Finest, who happened to be right there, ready! I don't know if this happened to anyone else at Ice Cube, but maybe it was just a warm-up for Three Six Mafia.

"How the hell did a fight break out last night after Three 6 Mafia's show at the House of Blues in West Hollywood?" This happens quite frequently at rap concerts. I recall a 50 Cent and someother rap concert (local act) ended the same way in the past couple years (only someone was stabbed and shot)... I'd say once an accident, twice a coincidence and thrice - there might be something to be said about the attendees....

You can take a person out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of the person.

Yes, we're in a police state... which means more and more police are needed to intimidate the sheep

Now I haven't been to a HOB in about 5 years, and never in LA, and that's a good thing. From what I can remember their security was always overly heavy handed, even within the roid-rage bouncer/security guard world.
