According to online reports, a member of the rap group Cali Swag District was shot dead in a drive by Sunday. The group is known for its lone hit “Teach Me How To Dougie”, which spawned a dance craze that swept the nation.
From The Buzz:
“The victim was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when another vehicle pulled up alongside and unloaded “at least two rounds” into the car, according to Lt. Michael Marshall. “It looks like they knew each other. It was not a traditional drive-by.”
But TMZ reports the crime “appears to be a random act of violence.”
Either way, authorities have no suspects yet and are asking for help.
MTV notes that “details have been kept brief,” but cites a police source saying the artist “sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head while sitting in his vehicle on Le Brea Avenue. M-Bone was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.”
Cali Swag District had a huge hip-hop hit last year with “Teach Me How to Dougie.”
M-Bone, also known as Montae Talbert, was 22.
damn cali still doing drive bys? smh he was so young …… hope they find the suspect
Sad.
Oh WOW…. so sad.
SMH.
Only people who do drive-bys are punks. True gangsters are like the “character” on American Gangster who shoot you for all to see and dare someone to tell. Notice I did the quotes on character. Such a sad event.
Aww that so sad! May the Almighty cover and keep his family.
Hello All. SMH. SMH. SMH. SMH. SMH. SMH. SMH. SMH. SMH. I have a permanent headache from so much killing. How long Lord, how long?
pours out some Night Train and hits my dougie for MBone
Rest In Paradise baby boy!
@ Sponge… GIRL YES CALI still has drive-bys
there was at least 6 in the beginning of this month alone where Im from.
Until the end of time?
Dang I liked how he did the dougie too…..man when will the nonsense stop! Praying for this family…as we all need to pray for each other, pray for the cities..man just pray for the USA. We suppose to kill Osama them…not each other:(
So sad!!!! Crazy how wreckless people are just shooting for no reason…..

This is so sad, RIP whoever you are
I despise the thug mentality/lifestyle, gangbanging, no-snitchin’ policy, materialism, greed, cold-hearts, and stupidity.
The sad part is that we’re almost immune to hearing stories like these. RIP.
sounds like a gang initiation.. #Wegot to do better. The devil has recruited another 1
Oh wow, such terrible news.
Sigh… whatever happened to fist fights? Big was right: this aint back in the days. Dudes are quick with the trigger finger.
Just dumb. Prayers to his fam & friends.
This is a d*amn shame may he rest in piece boi the youth of today
so sad
So sad. I was just watching a Gangland marathon this weekend and was SMH at all the senseless violence
Another young mans life cut short, dayum shame
at least the commenters on SR.com are normal. Dem over at TMZ is just plain disrespectful. Rest In Paradise to this dear young handsome man.
R.I.P just sad
A dude got killed this weekend a block away from my house. They had my whole building hemmed up because somebody said he was hiding in one of the apartments.
Very tragic…another young life taken to soon…
CFREE, you have to realize what type of people TMZ generally caters to.
R.I.P. – M-Bone!!! I pray they find the coward who killed him!
Sandra, find us something good to talk about. It’s already Monday and chit.
A damn shame. RIP M-Bone, and my condolensces to his family and friends.
R.I.P M-Bone, another young black man lost to violence.
This is really too much. If I was a young male I wouldnt even want to aspire to be rapper anymore. Its a dangerous profession!
I despise these bish niggas who are Nino Brown with a gun but Britney Spears with their hands.
I wish they would all go to some island and off each other.
RIP to the young man.
@Man…
I CONCUR !!!
Agree’s with Elove & MAN give us some good gossip type chit auntie
So sad.
I’m an Inglewood native and hearing this on our local news this morning made me so sad. The shootings have just become so absolutely ridiculous. This boy was 22 so this doesn’t apply to him but I’m trying to keep mine in the house for as long as I can.
so ridiculous. when did we stop valuing life and so non-chalant about taking the life of another person?
terrible news cant even sit in your car these days
Damn dawg…sad news…
*Does a R.I.P Dougie*
“I don’t do drive bys…i’ll walk up to you and smoke you…I was to see you die” – Diabla
Drivebys are for Punks!
RIP M-BONE ….teach St. Peter to Dougie….will be hilarious to see when i get there…
@Ace
There will be NO DOING THE STUPID AND WORLDLY DOUGIE IN HEAVEN.
This young soul had no time to repent, he was still very much apart of the materialistic world.
No repentance No salvation.
Judgment day is for SENTENCING not for second chances. And definitely NOT FOR ANYTHING HIP-HOP OR RELATED TO IT!!!!!!!
Yall really take this whole world and spirituality for a Joke…..
You better get serious, because God is not playing with us.
Everything mentioned ( which includes rewards & punishments) in the Old and New testament of the Bible WILL COME TO PASS
Keep thinking this is a joke if you want to…you will find yourself being amongst those group of souls that Christ will tell ” I never knew you “
Look at the picture of this dude above very well…..
DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN HEAVEN?????????
If he confessed his sins and admitted/acknowedged Jesus Christ dying on the cross for his sins, then he will be in Heaven. Who cares how he looks, it’s what’s in his heart.

And a nicca got every right to Hit his dougie and drop down to a Catdaddy as much as your Biblical Ass has to Sway and Speak in tongues if and when you get there….

I knew i wast going to be the only one actin a fool..when my name is called.
ACE:
Nope, you sure won’t.
It’s way too much going on in the world…this violence needs to stop.
I find it ironic when one sits in judgement of others while telling them why THEY won’t get into heaven.
I don’t believe I’m going to hell because I live my life the way YOU think I should or the way a book says I should. I believe in the Lord and I have my Lord in heart.
Wouldn’t putting so much faith into a book fall under believing in false prophets? I think the Bible should be considered words to live by. Isn’t essentially a book of very valuable pearls of wisdom. Who wrote the Bible?
Honest question.
Redeem is driving me crazy and has been for over a week now. True speak.
I live in Inglewood and here’s what they’re saying in the streets: M-Bone had just left the studio on Florence and La Brea with some chick who was driving, when the pulled up to the liquor store to buy some swishers a guy drove up and blasted. All this is suppose to be over some broad. What a waste.
R.I.P. but them niccas looked hella homo when they was on 106&park… I have never in my life seen a R&B dancing rap group… And they was dancing like females.. R.I.P tho…
I heard about this! RIP! My People, My People!
