Rapper's Murder Echoes Words in His Music

NEW ORLEANS - The murder of rapper Soulja Slim echoed the violence of his profanity-laced songs, which told of gangs, drugs and drive-by shootings.



The artist, whose real name was James Tapp, was shot Wednesday night on the front lawn of the two-story duplex he'd bought for his mother in New Orleans' Gentilly neighborhood.


To some, the 25-year-old was poised to capture the rap scene, to get a music video on MTV and maybe make it bigger than his childhood friends, rappers Master P and C-Murder.


His stepfather, who asked that his name not be used, said envy of Tapp's swift rise may have motivated the killing.


The rapper was shot at least three times in the face and once in the chest. Witnesses said they saw a man in dark clothing fleeing afterward. Police had no suspects in custody on Friday.


Tapp's stepfather said the performer's dark themes weren't meant to incite violence, but rather to expose the chaos of "ghetto life" so it might be cured. He said Tapp broke no laws after ending a four-year prison stint in 2001 for a parole violation. Tapp had been convicted of armed robbery in 1995.


Master P, New Orleans' most famous rapper, appeared on several tracks of Tapp's first album, "Give It 2 'Em Raw." Tapp's second album, "The Streets Made Me," was released by Master P's No Limit Records. Tapp left No Limit in 2002 and released "Years Later" on his own Cut Throat Committy label.

thats fucked up

thats no good

damn

You got a URL? Looks exactly like the same story for lesser known rappers that are reported shot.

just another rapper dead

the should give out free bullets with every cd

It's no God-given thing that there has to be killings, people getting shot every day, violence, etc.

Meaningless.

no, just another person dead

you die as you lived, by a flash of the blade...

or gunfire in this case

more about it here


RIP

who.....?

....oh am i showing my age again? :(

Yea I remember "give it to em raw"... "aint no party like a no limit party, cuz a no limit party dont stop.." Must have been 97 or so, i got out of listening to all that No Limit bullshit after that. About the only of Master P's stuff he produced that I actually like are the "west coast bad boys", "down south hustlers" compilation albums and of course "Ice Cream Man" album.

Slim taught me a lot about life," Magnolia $crilla told AllHipHop.com. "Slim dropped out of high school in the 9th grade but he made something of his life. He paid for me to go to college and get my education. Education was very important to him. If he saw you needed a bill paid, he would pay it. He was respected like Pac down here."

And like Pac, Slim was a community activist, who had started an organization, the Young Black Lyons.

"It was like the Black Panthers," $crilla revealed. "He had the school system involved. The goal was to educate young black youth in society. In so many ways, they still treat us like n*ggas. Kids don't understand why Bush bombed, they think it was because of Bin-Laden. They don't understand the real motivations and that's one of the things Slim was doing. Talking to the kids."

Piece Of Shit...

A Man Goes To The Doctor And Says, "I Have This Problem With Gas, But It Really Doesn't Bother Me Too Much. They Never Smell And Are Always Silent. As A Matter Of Fact I've Farted At Least 20 Times Since I've Been In Your Office."<br>The Doctor Says, "I See. Take These Pills And Come Back To See Me Next Week."<br>The Next Week The Man Comes Back. "Doctor," He Says, "I Don't Know What The Hell You Gave Me, But Now My Farts, Although Still Silent, Stink Terribly."<br>"Good," The Doctor Said. "Now That We've Cleared Up Your Sinuses, Let's Work On Your Hearing."

Forget about it, motherfucker.

Why?

I really dont care when rappers die. They will still have 3 cds go platinum after death.
