  • Busta Rhymes Busts His Rump: What Made The Rapper Fall Off Stage?

    Busta Rhymes made a guest appearance on stage during a performance by his protege O.T. Genasis.

    The surprise cameo happened at Webster Hall in New York on Friday.

    42-year-old Busta Rhymes was clearly enthusiastic about the event…perhaps a little too enthusiastic.

    Rhymes bounced a little too hard while getting the crowd pumped for Genasis’s song “CoCo” and accidentally took a tumble into the audience.

    In a video posted by WorldStarHipHop, you can see the embarrassing incident play out in its entirety.

    It’s worth noting that Busta Rhymes was holding a bottle of liquor before he fell off stage.

    Was gravity to blame, or perhaps a little too much alcohol?

    In the images shared by TMZ, you can see that Busta Rhymes suffered some minor injuries as a result of his fall.

    He reportedly was taken backstage to get cleaned up.

    Perhaps to prevent himself from experiencing any further humiliation (or with the knowledge he wouldn’t live it down), Busta Rhymes opted not to go back on stage, reportedly staying in the audience for the rest of the show.

    Later, Busta hopped on Twitter to explain what happened and to assure his fans that he was okay.

    “When [you’re] passionate about winning, you go hard,” said Rhymes.

    He explained that he’s very passionate about the music and sometimes when you feel passionate about your craft, things can get a little crazy.

    Apparently it’s not the first time Busta Rhymes busted the wrong kind of move.

    He mentions that similar problems have happened in the past to himself and other artists.

    “We stay on level 10,” Rhymes said, “I love it cause we live it!”

    It sounds like Busta Rhymes has no regrets about the night’s events, even though it may be some time before he lives the tumble down.

    The WSMM video of Busta Rhymes falling has already accumulated 150,000 in a matter of a couple of days.

  • Yosemite Hiker Found Dead After Cliff Fall

    A hiker who went missing on Sunday, May 5 in Yosemite National Park has been found dead.

    According to the National Park Service, the body of Kenneth Stensby was found near the bottom of Vernal Fall, a 317-foot waterfall located on the Merced River in Yosemite. Stensby’s body was found on Monday afternoon by park rangers, who have stated that it appears the 73-year-old fell from a cliff near the top of the waterfall. The body was found following a full-scale search that included California Highway Patrol helicopters.

    Stensby, who is from Edina, Minnesota, is reported to have taken daily hikes through the park while staying at a Yosemite hotel. On Sunday he left a note with hotel staff, as he always did, outlining his hiking plans. Stensby had planned to take a morning hike to the top of Vernal Fall and return by midday. Park Rangers were dispatched to look for Stensby when he had not returned that evening. His backpack was found near the guardrails at the top of Vernal Fall.

    This is not the first occasion on which a hiker has died around Vernal Fall. In 2011, three hikers crossed guardrails erected to keep hikers out of the water above the fall. They were swept over the falls by the water’s flow, which was greater than usual due to a large melting snowpack from that winter.

  • Utahns Create 17-Foot-Tall Pile of Leaves, Relive Great Childhood Pastime

    If at some point during your childhood you raked up a huge pile of fallen leaves, grabbed your dog, and dedicated a few hours to frolicking merrily – congratulations, you experienced one of the simple pleasures of being a kid. If you never had that pleasure, may I suggest that you’re never too old to finally get around to it.

    These guys know that simple pleasure, and set out to create a pile of leaves so large that they could safely jump into it from their roof. Ah, fall.

    “17 feet tall. 60 feet around. Over 1,000 bags and 1 BIG JUMP! And before all of you start commenting on how you don’t think it’s 17 feet. Obviously it got shorter with each jump,” they say on YouTube.
