Definitely not happy to see Tone Loc getting back in the news this way. From the $50k bond he posted, his finances are at least in decent shape. That’s more than we can say about a lot of rappers from that era. We’ll see what Loc has to say about this incident. Until then, did anyone else recall the domestic violence movie scene with Tupac when they read this news?
