22-year-old M-Bone, whose real name was Montae Talbert, was shot and killed during a drive-by in front of an Inglewood, California liquor store late Sunday night.

M-Bone, a member of the group Cali Swag District, was sitting in a parked car at Airport Liquor and Groceries, 420 North La Brea Avenue, when someone pulled up in another car and opened fire. News reports indicate the 22-year-old man was shot twice at close range.

The Teach Me How to Dougie rapper was taken to Harbor UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

The song Teach Me How To Dougie was recently thrust back into the spotlight when First Lady Michelle Obama was filmed doing the Dougie (a dance) at a Let's Move event aimed at the prevention of childhood obesity.

I'm sure I'll be branded racist, but I really hate rap/thug culture. It's mindless, just about violence and bling and money. There's no melody or talent involved in the bulk of it. The only rapper I like is mc chris, He just raps about Star Wars and cough syrup and other geeky things, I ignore his other songs that adhere to basic rap topics.
