The rapper and cartoon voice actor was arrested after a dispute with the mother of his children turned physical. Police found the Colt AR-15 Sporter when responding to that call, and now Loc is in double the trouble.
Tone Loc was the second hip-hop artist to top the pop charts (the first were the Beastie Boys) and his 1989 singles “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina” are feel-good essentials in the fabric of America’s pop canon.
