Gucci Mane

This legendary rapper was charged with killing his best friend, Pookie Loc. The fight started when rapper Young Jeezy put a hit out on Gucci Mane’s chain. When a group of men including Gucci’s best friend came to collect the bounty, Gucci took them all on resulting in the death of his best friend. He later beat the law, even though he partially buried the body, in a case of self defense

X-Raided

This rapper had a promising career, until he and a few of his fellow gang members decided to raid the home of a rival gang. The homeowner came in during the raid and was shot in the heart. Though everyone was charged, X-Raided then recorded his debut album over the phone in prison, the songs had some imagery that mirrored the crime resulting in him being sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.

Big Lurch

His story is perhaps one of the most disturbing. In 2002 Tynsha Ysais, Lurch’s roommate, was found dead and disemboweled in the apartment that they shared. Not only were her bowels removed, her lungs had also been ripped out and she had bite marks all over her body. Lurch was later found completely naked in the middle of the street covered in blood howling at the sky. It was later concluded that Lurch was high on PCP when he attacked and killed Ysais and he was sentenced to life without possibility of parole.

Mac Minister

Mac Minister, a rapper from the Bay area, had a promising career when he became embroiled in a deadly Midwest/West Coast beef in 2005 when two rappers from Kansas City, Fat Tone and Cowboy arrived in Las Vegas on the promise that they were going to meet a representative from Snoop Dogg’s label. They instead met the barrel end of an AK-47, and their bodies were later found dumped in a construction site. When video footage connected Mac Minister to the double murder, he went on the run. It got worse, though: 2 days later, the body of a call girl who was the potential biggest witness in the case, Lee Danae Laursen, turned up dead as well. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Rosco P. Coldchain

Amin Porter, better known to the rap world as Rosco P. Coldchain found himself behind bars after being arrested for allegedly being involved in a double homicide in Philadelphia in 2008.

G. Dep

Trevell Coleman, rap name G. Dep – turned himself in to police in 2010 to confess to the 17-year-old murder of John Henkel. The guilt had been eating away at him and was haunted by his secret but now that his burden has been lifted, he was sentenced to life inprisonment.
