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

so apparently Tik Tokk, formerly of Christian rap group Gospel Gangstaz, was arrested for murder in 2006. now that's gotta be a hard one to explain!

J-Dee from Ice Cube's Lench Mob crew did time for murder (and thus did not appear on their second album)

RL Burnside used to claim he killed a dude. but, y'know, blues mythology...

RL Burnside, the blues guy?

oh, I get it: any black musician who commits murder (or any violent crime, really) is automatically elevated to gangsta rapper status, regardless of whether they ever actually rapped. I always forget that little rule. hollaz hollaz @ my Leadbelly, amirite?

noted gangsta rappers Vince Neil, Burzum, and Keith Moon

huh? Vince and Keith aren't even black. now I'm all confused.

i didnt want to start a new thread

let's recap: Whiney posted a short list of performers who have been confirmed to have killed somebody, NOT JUST RAPPERS. I suggested two additional people, one of whom I already cited on this thread before, and another who was not cited before because he was not a rapper.

thought this was going to be a grime zing

equating vehicular manslaughter with actual murder is a bit much too imo

i remember some old post where ethan said kind of off-handedly that he believed biggie was a killer -- not that he killed pac but that i guess when he did dirt pre-stardom

equating vehicular manslaughter with actual murder is a bit much too imo

thread title says KILLED not murdered

what drink is that on richy rich's tombstone?

lucozade

u just jealous caek

Um, Phil Spector

J-Dee from Ice Cube's Lench Mob crew did time for murder (and thus did not appear on their second album)

Isn't J-Dee still in jail?

Anyway, if we're talking about musicians who killed someone, wasn't there some relatively well known rock drummer who killed his mother? I can't remember the name right now.

And of course there's this guy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_vicious

Sid was never confirmed as having killed Nancy Spungen (died too soon to get a sentence), but I guess it seems likely he did.

Jimmy Snuka killed a bitch. And he could rap too.

Ozzy Osbourne allegedly indirectly killed a kid by writing "Suicide Solution" and causing that kid to commit suicide.

Maybe youse should do a "Death Pool" and list 15 rappers, singers, people on wikip. And the person that gets the most murderers by the end of the year, wins.

"Anyway, if we're talking about musicians who killed someone, wasn't there some relatively well known rock drummer who killed his mother? I can't remember the name right now."

The guy from Traffic?

Yeah, I think he was the one I was thinking about:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28musician%29

Hmm, I didn't know it, but apparently Jim Gordon was the drummer for Incredible Bongo Band, and he played drums on "Apache".

^^^^know the ledge

it seems like Gordon played on every great album of the time. Pet Sounds, The Notorious Byrd Brothers, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, Nilsson Schmilsson, Pretzel Logic...

Lil Boosie is suspected of up to five murders

Hammer did time as a teenager for shooting a convenience store clerk.

no way! he seems so nice

My, my, my music hits me so hard
Makes me say "Oh, my Lord"
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hype feet

It feels good, when you know you're down
A super dope homeboy from the Oak town
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

I tell you, homeboy

lol I love how long it took for someone to respond to that.

as far as I know I think Hammer's (aka STANLEY BURRELL lol) claim to thug life was scalping a football ticket when he was a kid

though he really shoulda been arrested for his performance at Universal back in 2009 cuz that shit was criminal

Jim Gordon wrote the "Layla" coda, which is the best part of that song, and not even the Goodfellas montage can erase from my brain what that guy did to his poor mama (with a HAMMER, no less) - I hear the "Layla" coda, and I instantly think "murder by hammer."

and pre-empting obvious "Can't Touch This" joke
