Most Murderous Verse of the Week:

"...the M.A.F.I.A. keep cannons/
in they Marc Buchanans/
usually cuatro-cinco's/
the shells sink slow/
tossin' ya/
mad shells through ya Nautica..."

- The Notorious B.I.G., Brooklyn's Finest

Those rappers...they're at it again. One of the more recent additions to the Roc-a-fella roster, Camron has recently had a brush with the law.

Gone are the simple days of rappers just rapping - you have to have a substantial rap-sheet (pun intended) to be a legit rapper now.
