Okay Camjo, I felt so bad for you that I decided to do some digging. You said you werent sure if Foxx actually wrote the mail. This post doesnt 100% prove that Dred Foxx wrote that threat mail, but I tried to analyze its writing style with some of his previous posts, and did some Googling
Again, it doesnt prove anything, but it kinda looks like it:
Exhibit A: Tsk
The mail started with Tsk..tsk..tsk... Quite commonly used in English (I think), and Dred has used that before. It wasn't to computer generated, where it would have pixeled out the original looks, sounds/voices, and perceptions that made us PlayStation All Stars in the first place, unlike the CARTOON NETWORKS' version of PaRappa The Rapper...tsk tsk tsk! (Dualshocknexus.com interview:
http://www.dualshocknexus.com/2013/03/dred-foxx-interview.html) Not a strong argument, but still.
Exhibit B: the email address
knappi.knotz@yahoodotcom doesnt really give a lot of hits on Google. It shows its
the email for Dreds bookings on Facebook. Knappi Knotz isnt an agency found on Google, and probably refers to his label Kabenoiz. Searching for that, you can find
http://www.reverbnation.com/lukandoutdawzmandredfoxx, a page with all the info about Dreds music. Interestingly, it says Knappi Knotz under his sounds like about-item.
Now, lets look at the grammar in the threat mail:
Exhibit C: The double dot.
The main reason I wanted to post this. Look closely at the mail and notice there are several uses of .. instead of a normal dot.
"I tried to contain this situation..you fucked up bad."
"who takes no shit from pussy ass punks..you'll probably get stabbed"
"THIS IS NO THREAT..SERIOUS."
"THEY wanna teach you a lesson..you fucking with gangbangers..your time here is up..I feel sorry for your parents."
"o I have all your info..unless you move..you loose." And so on.
This double dot (without a space following it) is seen a LOT in his previous communications:
This is not even all of it, but it clearly shows that Dred likes using .. and apparently, so does the writer of the threat mail.
To end this post, as the email states, the name of the author is John Simpson, who is in fact Dred Foxx. But since the title states THIS IS NOT A THREAT FROM DRED FOXX, I just wanted to share this for what its worth.
