A great
rapper from New Orleans best known for his albums Shell Shocked & World War III . Started out Lil Mac and came out with his first album in 1989. He was signed to No Limit Records until 2001 when he was wrongfully accused of a shooting he clearly didn'
t commit. Was at a bar performing when a man on the other side of the room shot and killed somebody. A ballistics test showed he didn'
t even fire his gun, plus the REAL killer confessed. Unable to find any actual evidence of his guilt and envying a successful black man, racist white supremacist prosecutors used one of Mac'
s lyrics as evidence against him. Despite appeals, the bigots convicted Mac of manslaughter, when that wasn'
t even the right crime, and locked him away from his
wife and son because the Louisiana jury hates seeing a black man making
money. Humble man, never arrested ONCE before, but somehow guilty of a shooting when he never fired his gun. Appearently the days of Jim
crow are NOT far behind us. Now 10 years
later, McKinley Phipps still sits in a
prison cell, his son forced to be his own father figure. Very sad.
Corey: hey u heard of that rapper Mac from no limit? He got a bangin ass song called slow ya roll.
Joe: yea, the dirty prejudice jury locked him up and framed him so he can't make
dope albums any more.
