After Oakland female rapper Mina Mack was beaten in the doorway of an Oakland recording studio on Monday night, according to CBS 5, "a friend told her that video of the punching and kicking was posted on the Internet via YouTube and then circulated over Twitter." Two women and two men jumped the Mack as she was leaving the studio.

Failed musicians KiWi Da Beast and Shady Nate were identified as two of her assailants.

"I'm like what?" Mack told CBS 5's Simon Perez. "You know I didn't even know it was videotaped. I didn't see anyone with a video tape. So that let me further know it was a set up, it was all planned out." She goes on to tell ABC 7's Dan Noyes, "I knew if I would have fought back, it would have just got worse, and it would have kept going, so I just sat there and I took it, covering my face waiting for them to stop."

Horrifying, yes. But according to Oakland Police Officer Jeff Thomason, naifs who have brain cell count low enough to post their crimes on the internet, it seems, it a good thing. "It's evidence and anytime you have a beating that takes place and people are brave enough to post it on the Internet - even though the incident is tragic - but that is a good thing for the police."

Check out the full report. Not that it matters, but the beating was over some sort of recording deal gone sour. (Also, said beating clip, which you can view above, is jarring. You've been warned.)
