Here’s a sad story, originally posted on Bossip.
Aspiring rapper gets shot at his own video shoot by his own “goons”.
The most tragic part of the story is that once the shot rang out, (whether accidental or intentional) the “goons” ran off and this young man was left to die alone –at his own video shoot.
Man, it seems to be becoming a mortal sacrifice to be a rapper these days!
Wow. Just wow.

Yep. You are reading correctly, no need for an eye exam.
A state trooper down in Texas has been ordered to receive counseling after unwittingly taking a picture with the rapper, Snoop Dogg –aka “Uncle Snoop D-O-double G”.

Early on during my research involving the case of New Orleans rapper McKinley “Mac” Phipps Jr., it became increasingly obvious that not only was Mac convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison based on corruption, prosecutorial misconduct and false witness testimonies, but he may have also been railroaded by authorities and rendered such a substantial sentence simply because he is a rapper –a trend that seems to be rapidly increasing within the Hip Hop genre.
According to the New York Times, police and prosecutors are examining rap videos by rap artists to build criminal cases and get a “better sense of the hierarchy of the streets.”
The following Rolling Stone article was forwarded to me by Angelique Christina, the fiancée of the incarcerated rapper who is working relentlessly with attorneys, along with the Phipps family, to get Mac’s conviction overturned.

Her plan is to help bring these injustices to the forefront in hopes of rectification on behalf of the state and federal judicial systems.
In relation to Mac’s case she told the Huffington Post, “I can only hope that DA Warren Montgomery will right the unforgivable wrongs in this case not only for McKinley, but also for the family of the victim, the individuals that have been needlessly harassed and or jailed by the very officials who are supposed to protect and serve them, and finally, as a notable precedent for national justice reform”. -Angelique Christina Continue reading “Rapper Killer Mike Pens An Open Letter About Rap Lyrics Being Manipulated In Courts To Land Convictions”
