That's not “Buket” at the beginning of this video. That's “Evidence” of the LA hip hop group “Dilated Peoples”. He was mistakenly arrested because he appears at the beginning of this video. But he was quickly released after it was clear who he was. And that's not “Buket” who posted on your blog. I spoke with him half an hour ago and he said he's never even been on this website. And he doesn't go by “Buket” anymore. ;P
