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:

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 January 2011 13:21 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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

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

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...

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
― mavisbeacon666 (San Te), Wednesday, 12 January 2011 01:17 (thirteen years ago) link
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

According to the internet, RL Burnside actually served jailtime! “I didn’t mean to kill nobody, I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head. Him dying was between him and the Lord.”

his name is c murder because he sees murder. doesn't necessarily commit murder.
