Which rappers do you think may have actually killed someone in the past?

wouldn't you do the same?!?

Criminy! I wasn't taking a shot, i just got my facts bungled.

PS: Unlike most employed writers I know, I went to a shitty state school in Florida. Go Gators!

Baby has one too.

E. Money Bags (he was a 90s rapper from Queens and made a few records with Nas, CNN/Noreaga, Kool G. Rap) killed some dude and then got killed himself, on order of Kenneth "Supreme" Mcgriff (the Queens kingpin from the Supreme Team who 50 Cent mentioned on his old track "ghetto quaran" and then got shot for "dry snitchin'" and funded Ja Rule's label Murder Inc with his drug money).

Snoop, perhaps..? Although he got away with it.

Jay Z is rumored to have killed someone.

Fat Joe hung out with some really nasty people like Charlie Rock L.D (who ending up serving 20 years or so for murder) and Tony Montana (who's now dead) so it's a possibilty.

There's the very first NYC gangsta/thug rap group Mobstyle, who consisted of the 80s Harlem drug kinpin Azie plus Gangsta Lou, Pretty Tone Capone and Whip Wop who all were known for not fucking around.

Eric B has a very real reputation too (funding early Eric B. & Rakim records via drug money, hanging with killers like Alpo and the original 50 Cent, putting Large Professor of Main Source in hospital and running Kool G. Rap out of NYC to Arizona after Eric B's crew started killing 'G Rap's crew off).

Although, any thug credentials Eric B. has may be nullified by his mock-brawling with Stone Cold Steve Austin in 1997 when he was doing security for Mike Tyson's WWF stint.

tell me more

Helpful, eh?

Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Robert Van Winkle and became Vanilla Ice. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I have told you was true . . . from a certain point of view.

back in 78/79 yo dat barry b-eze andrews was tryin to take over da xtc krew from swindon with his homo organ shiznit yo and tryin to take tha hoes and bitches

so i was talkin to c-money and i was like "we gonna kill that biatch" so i fuckin shot him after he be performing "ladies luv mah weapon" and he fuckin died

so i replaced dat biatch with dave-5000 and we be usin drums and wires and gin and juice STRAIGHT OUTTA SWINDON yo

It's generally thought that Paul C's wife had him killed so she could run away with his brother. If i remember right they both disappeared.

If you do a google you can probably turn up that Paul C article where the writer talks to Superlover Cee & Casanova Rud in detail about the murder.

"Do the james" is still one of the heaviest rap records ever. The way Paul C actually managed to improve the "impeach the president" drumbreak..Damn.

the real question is which BLOGGERS...

I think Ghostface Killa owned up to a murder in an interview in The Source - but who knows, could all be street cred junk talk.

no wai my cousin said

Sure, I just mean that recent cocaine-damaged De Le assholism isn't completely out of character as per rep. I dunno if it's necessarily worse than, say, Big Pun smashing Rocafella dudes over the head with champagne bottles and Fat Joe trying to smooth things over. Intoxicated demons, etc.

i dunno, someone mentioned thinking it would be funny to hear de la soul thug stories, and once i met a guy with a huge scar on his face he said he got from plug one-of-the-members in a bar fight. what's ridiculous exactly? for the record, i hung with this guy for like 5 days once when i was on vacation, he only got started on the stories a few days in when we discovered we worked in the same industry, and all his other stories were just realistic-detail laden stories about semi-obscure indie bands he liked coming through his club, and, like, liquor zoning laws in europe and their effect on club going demographics. it's possible the story was bullshit, but i thought he was believable. i've certainly heard the "band shows up, demands drug X, won't play till they get it" story before from friends who've worked in clubs.

goddamnit, i hate it when i kill a thread by being all reasonable, explaining myself, etc. umm, jay-z totally killed someone, but his lawyers told him not to bring it up, ever.

Which rappers do you think may have actually killed a thread in the past?

when when ?uestlove posts on okplayer, trolls shut the fuck up

i don't suppose he's ever killed anyone though.

<waits for the ?uestlove thug stories to roll in>

classic material

No-one's said Schooly D.

Classic throwaway line in Chuck Eddy's "The Accidental Evolution of Rock and Roll": "Schooly D. used to mug old ladies or study art or something..."

Q-Tip once beheaded a dude for saying a lake wasn't beautiful

C Murder appears to be out of luck.

Strange story about Q-Tip.

That sounds like dark humour. Or is there more to it ?

I think it's not happening til the next season of GoT

nah man. behind his chill demeanor, Q-Tip is a calculating sociopath. in his wake are many, many bodies.

his name is c murder because he sees murder. doesn't necessarily commit murder.― À la recherche du temps Pardew (jim in glasgow), Sunday, January 16, 2011 2:03 AM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Still LOL at this

Are we then to assume Ghostface Killer only kills ghostfaces (whathever they are), and is not, in fact, the slayer of men we previously thought?

uhhhh...

haha whoa...it feels like maybe there should be some extra quotation marks there, like he's describing the braggadocio that he doesn't do?

Muddy Waters's guitarist Pat Hare recorded a song called "I'm Gonna Murder My Baby" and then did just that.

yeah Pat Hare could drop a mean 16

Since Definitive Jux is a haven for unique underground rappers who do not fit in anywhere else, I start the interview by asking him what makes him unique in the rap game.

He is surprisingly circumspect. “A good question… I think I am probably the only rapper right now with a combover, and I think the dress code is a little bit unique. I think most of it is visual. I don’t think I have much to say that is really interesting. But I think I look cool.”

I don’t think I have much to say that is really interesting

wasn't this the name of Drake's first EP

can't believe nobody mentioned Cassidy

Despot's album is the indie rap Chinese Democracy

Max B keeled someone too

this thread makes me think about how dumb the title for the Kendrick Lamar thread is
