Murder INC shot 50?
Murder Inc. Probe Leads To Arrest, Alleged Ties To 50 Cent Shooting
More than four months after federal investigators searched the New York offices of Murder Inc. Records, an arrest has been made in connection with their findings and newly unsealed court documents have revealed just what suspicions prompted the raid. Last week, following the stakeout of a house in Encino, California, U.S. Marshals arrested Dexter Ottley, Murder Inc.'s director of radio promotions, and charged him with possession of a firearm by a felon. Also arrested at the time was Murder Inc. artist Caddillac Tah, who was not charged and was later released. But while Ottley may be the only person arrested from the Murder Inc. family thus far, he might not be the last. In a 32-page affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in January, an IRS special agent details some of the evidence that feds have compiled in their ongoing investigation of convicted drug lord Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff and his relationship with Murder Inc.The document charges that McGriff, who has a storied past as the leader of infamous New York drug cartel the Supreme Team, is the "true owner" of Murder Inc., while CEO Irv Gotti is merely the "public face" of the highly successful label. Supporting that theory are allegations that McGriff was paid by Murder Inc. under a false name, that he conducted illegal activity using Murder Inc. travel funds and a Def Jam two-way pager, and that McGriff was directly involved in the 2000 shooting of rapper 50 Cent, who is described as having written "a song exposing McGriff's criminal activities."Investigators compiled evidence ranging from Supreme's business bank records, all of his two-way messages from the past three years, travel records, surveillance and even the testimony of two confidential witnesses. One of the witnesses is said to have observed McGriff's comings and goings within the Murder Inc. offices.The court affidavit was filed in order to get permission to freeze McGriff's business accounts. The investigation of McGriff and Murder Inc. is still ongoing and neither McGriff nor Gotti has been charged with anything. Meanwhile, the incredible scrutiny of federal agents seems to have had an effect on Murder Inc.'s music. According to Murder Inc. artist Blackchild, an apparent slip up on Ja Rule's recent anti-50 Cent track "Loose Change" was more calculated than clumsy. Blackchild insisted that when Ja raps, "50, you gon' get shot again by the M-U-R-E-D-R Inc.," he misspells the name of his label in order to avoid making a self-incriminating statement. I don't know if you guys also say the Deathrow special they had on Muchmusic these last couples days but in that it was said that the real owner of Tha Row is also a drug lord by the name of Michael "Harry O" Harris... Guess most gangsta rap labels aren't really owned by the faces we see on T.V. Wut do you guys think?

I think thats all poo! DOWN WITH GANGSTER RAP UP WITH JUNGLE!!! I dont listen 2 coon tunes anymore, not unless im at a top 40/hip hop club but even then I want 2 run head first into a wall repeatedly. The beats suck and the lyrics suck. The only good hip hop artists out there are as follows:common,mos def,de lasoul,gangstarr,guru on his own,uhmmm and nas... his lyrics are changing becoming more positive and I like that

Harry-O is only part owner of Death row- he andSuge Knight were in it together yo (i too watched the special)
I thought all this Murder Inc shooting stuff was funny (in a sick way) cause ja Rule is a studio gangsta that's what 50 cent's Wangsta is all about oh hip hoppin' drama when they gonna stop shootin' each other?

supreme team ownz. they had sentinels on roof tops, checking for pigs. according to 5.0 they averaged something like 100g's a week.
is it surprising that people from the street know other people from the street? what's so shocking that somebody had a buddy that was/is a criminal?

Ahh...gangsta rap... Ha Ha Ha. Best music is when there is beef. Unfortunetly the ultimate price has to be paid. Someone has to die. It's happened before with 2pac and Biggie. Hopefully it won't go that far. But this seems to go farther than studio gangsters. Blah....`T1M Last edited by dj4mula; May 07, 03 at 12:46 PM.
