Over four years after it was announced, All Eyez on Me, a big-screen biopic about the legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, will finally be released on June 16. Hopefully it doesn’t take that long until the 2pec movie. What’s that? You’re not familiar with 2pec? Well, like Tupac, he’s a rapper. Unlike Tupac, he’s a rapper… who reportedly skipped paying his dinner bill by jumping into the ocean. To be fair, there’s no way to know if Tupac didn’t do the same thing — he’s been dead (OR HAS HE) for 21 years — but it’s probably a good bet.
And even if he did, Makaveli probably didn’t eat as much seafood as 2pec.
The 33-year-old aspiring rapper, real name Terry Peck, “allegedly tucked into a $621 meal at Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant on Sunday evening, including two lobster mornays, 21 oyster shooters, baby octopus, and drinks,” according to the Guardian. Now, the last thing I’d want to do after drinking and eating that much is go for a swim, but “when it came time to pay the bill, Peck allegedly ran from staff straight into the surf at Main Beach. Lifeguards then took police out on the back of jet skis to retrieve him from the water.”
It somehow gets better.
Peck told reporters outside the court that he hadn’t enjoyed the meal, describing the lobster as overcooked. [The restaurant’s manager, Mark Hunnybun, disputed the claim about the lobster being overcooked, telling the ABC: “We cook our lobsters perfectly here.”] He also claimed that he had only left the restaurant because he needed to help a friend who was giving birth on the beach.

So, to recap: an “urban poet” (to quote the Sun) named 2pec had a $621 meal at a seaside restaurant managed by Mark Hunnybun (!), dined and dashed into the ocean, was chased by cops on jet skis, and when he was caught, claimed he was going to help a friend give birth. It’s the perfect crime, really.
Anyway, please enjoy “Ozi Ozi Ozi Oy Oy Oy” by 2pec.
