Warren G was arrested for drug possession in Hollywood Sunday morning. After Warren’s friend ran a red light (!), his car was pulled over, police discovered marijuana, and the two were arrested. E! says:

Although undisclosed, the amount was sufficient to charge the rapper, along with the car’s driver, with possession of narcotics with intent to sell, an LAPD spokesman said. The rapper and the driver were released hours later on $20,000 bond apiece.

The Grammy winner is best known for his 1994 hit “Regulate,” and guest appearance on The Chronic, the classic album by his half-brother, rap legend Dr. Dre. (Source)

A rapper arrested for drug possession after being stopped for a traffic violation is so last decade. These days, if a rapper wants real street cred, he’s either got to get arrested for videotaping himself pissing on his 12-year-old girlfriend or burning down his baby momma’s house. Otherwise, he’s just going to end up being labeled a “little punk bitch” in the pen and forced to rent his jaw for two packs of cigarettes an hour — or as I like to call it: Nick Hoganed.

UPDATE: Charges dropped because of insufficient evidence to link Warren or his friend to the marijuana in the trunk (car not registered to either one of them). Let’s all get high to celebrate!
