Tone Loc denies being too much of a wild thing.

The rapper pleaded not guilty today to felony possession of an assault weapon and domestic violence stemming from his June 18 arrest, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.

Tone Loc, born Anthony Terrell Smith, was busted after allegedly roughing up the mother of his child at her apartment in Burbank. While investigating, officers say they also found an unregistered Colt AR-15 Sporter rifle in his possession.

He was formally charged yesterday and a preliminary hearing has been set for July 28.
