Heavy Gun x MHC: Top 10 Rappers Behind Bars

This week’s feature story is a collaboration post between MHC and Heavy Gun Blog.  Amidst all of the hoopla about Shyne’s release from prison after nearly a decade, I got the dude J. Brookinz to do a Top 10 of the best rappers locked up.  All in all, it’s jokes.  Hope we get to do more clown shit like this in the future.  Maybe we can do this again next year when Lil Wayne finally gets locked up on his gun charge.

10. C-Murder – Second Degree Murder – Life
J.Brookinz:With a name like C-Murder, it was only a matter of time. I still listen to Akickdoe to this day tho!
Mr. Gold: Remember Master P being all worried about C after Katrina?  Where was P this summer at the second trial?
J.Brookinz: Oh yeah, I can still recite the first verse of “Makin Moves” from his first album from memory.

Hit the jump for the rest of the Top 10.

MHC’s Top 10 – May 09

Wow, I am late w/ everything.  This was supposed to be posted like … a week ago, but I’m a slacker as previously mentioned.  The stand out track of the month was Dopeman by Pusha T and Cookin’ Soul.  As expected, everyone and their brother decided to jump on the beat w/ the best combination being Weezy, Push, and Kool G Rap.  The rest of the countdown is the typical cast of characters.

Full countdown below the cut.

MHC Top 10 – March 09

I have no clue why I chose that pic for this shit, but I thought it was jokes.  Motherfucking orange drink!  Thats hood!  Anyway, I was having a terrible time coming up with this list initially, but then I went back and looked at my downloads from the past month and quickly came up with this list. This month’s number one tune is Ash Roth’s Lark on My Go Kart.  His album is going to be huge!  Make sure you get it on 4:20!

BTW, the second round of MHC’s Special Rap Olympic begins next week, so make sure you get the rest of your first round votes in by Saturday.

Full countdown below the cut …

MHC Top 10: February 2009

So I haven’t been posting as much “mainstream” hip-hop here lately, so I thought I would help try to even that out by posting a monthly top 10 of my favorite hip-hop/rap tunes.  I am going to to do my best not to include any electro or other ish in this list.  Due to the nature of most of the content on this list, I would download this quickly before it gets yanked.  This month’s number 1 is “Uptown” by Drake featuring Bun B & Lil Wayne.  Wayne’s verse at the end is my new fucking anthem … seriously …

I am the leather jacket, black glasses, all american bad boy
I own the swagger supermarket an you, you just a bag boy
Cause I got that swag boy, the swag you neva had boy
Hate an I will leave ya chest the color of my flag boy
Su Woo bitch, I do this shit, I’ll erase you like I drew you bitch
An I keep that toaster you can come an be my screw biiiitch
I’m so uptown, an mothafucker if you ain’t don’t go uptown, yeah
And know I’m on that rock shit,
But why they let me in?  I’ma start shootin at a mosh pit, haha
Fuck is you talkin bout, Weezy in ya mouth now
Weezy whatchu talkin bout

Full track list below the cut.
