I don't know if you've been reading about the Shyfe Lyfe case in Memphis but it's really tragic story about the makers of some of the best new hip hop music around. This story first came out on A&E's "First 48 Hours" reality show. A guy, Talandus McCoy aka T and his accomplices Jeremy Young (J Rock) and a fellow named P went to get some tattoos at a local Memphis tattoo parlor. Then in a Xanax for tattoo deal gone wrong, the tattoo artist's wife gets shot and killed in the incident. It's a sad but interesting criminal case that you can watch online. I don't listen to hip hop music that much but I'd have to say these guys are really talented.
I'm really not sure what the status is but there's been a huge buzz about the Shyfe Lyfe murder case. I looks like the shooter/killer was J Rock and Telandus McCoy, supposedly the only guy affiliated with Shyfe Lyfe, was the getaway driver, and this P guy was the lookout.
It's kind of weird in the video because even though the suspects are speaking English, there's subtitles because of their accents. It's like a Memphis drawl but a lot harder to understand. Luckily, I was watching with a friend that is in hip hop production and is good at being able to understand people who speak fast.
If you don't know what the definition of Shyfe is, T lays it down in the first couple minutes of the video. It means something like sharp knife. Shyfe Lyfe, got it?
F*!@ A SHYFE LYFE T"S A B&%^$ HE DESERVES TO GET FU%^#$ IN HIS MOUTH AND A** IN PRISON

ReplyDeleteYou are one stupid SOB. please tell me you haven't bread yet.
DeleteWhat the hell were you on when you wrote this...who the fuck taught you how to spell...I hope...NO! I pray you were high as hell cause I would hate to think that someone out there really talks like that!? As for these young men,they were old enough to make that horrible choice then they have to live with the punishment...and it's sad their families lost them just like those kids lost their mom and a husband lost a wife....but at the end of the day their still alive for there families to visit......when will my black brothers and sisters learn crime doesn't pay....
DeleteWell these murders need to have their rappin' asses handed to them! Anyone that would kill a MOTHER of 2 SMALL KIDS deserves KARMA... and KARMA will catch up with any & everyone that does any wrong!!!!!!! LOSERS!!!!!
ReplyDeletei just watched this episode of the first 48 last nite and it is ridiculous to see the amount of stupidity some people have...not only do i see tattoo artists everywhere doing tats for drugs especially xanax..and those are tho ones gettin publicity even if it is bad..so alot of people think just because people like me are covered in tats we are druggies..its a load of bull..and then these young kids wanna be like the rappers they see on tv so they think they need to kill someone or rob someone to be famous..
ReplyDeleteHow can they do that with mother of 2 children. Hope they get fucked up with another inmates, and stay forever in the monkey house!!! hihi
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteNotice that at some level, at least one of the perps had a kernel of decent upbringing in him. "P" is answering the cops "Yes Sir", "Yes sir, that is correct".
ReplyDeleteThe "gangsta" culture is a germ, bacteria that needs to be eliminated from society. It is allowed and encouraged to grow by a culture that embraces no accountability.
Teach children that they are nothing more than animals, just one more species on the planet with no one to be accountable to, then don't act surprised when they act like animals.
Just a bunch of stupid, primitive screwheads.

ReplyDeleteIf they don't get the death penalty, it is a damn shame. Bring them to Texas and we will take care of it. In Texas, we call that "Capital Murder" and we don't stand for it.

ReplyDeleteThe problem is, yes, our society embraces the "thug" lifestyle. At least for now. Nothing stays the same forever. Rap, hip-hop, R&B, are all more popular today then ever. Even among white kids. And as always, kids will mimick their heroes. Ans so u see kids that don't even know what putting in work or repping their sets actually mean and they walk around with red or blue hankies and they get smoked by people who do know what it means because they think it is their enemy and not a civilian poser. There are some very succesful rap artist out there and the gang rap thing is drying out and being replaced with Drake and Lil' Wayne etc, they're dropping the colors thing because it's played out and not making them money anymore. Even snoop and Ice Cube has dropped that shit. The Game, or Game and Nispey Hussle are justa few that are trying to keep the Gansgsta shit alive, but it's not happening. I suspect, that for a few neighborhoods in L.A., all gangsta shit will slow down very soon. Kids these days are more into skinny jeans and Soldier boy, the gansgsta shit is played out as far as the fashion aspect of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog. My first time watching it on the First 48 was tonight. It's a sad story. For those that spoke all the racial slurs and making name calling--- that doesn't solve anything. This was a horrible crime whether white, black, chinese, mexican or whatever. I will pray for all of you ---especially those that are doing the name calling (niggers, animals, not human etc.) We as humans (not matter your background or race) should all care and love one another and not want to hurt and kill each other. We need to all learn to respect one another and not put each other down.
ReplyDeleteBreaks my heart that the mother of two beautiful children got shot in the head. What a waste of a great life. Why? Why do people decide to kill others for petty shit. It truly tears me up inside! RIP to the wife! God bless the family who had to deal with the pain. For those who said they were actually "Good" with music.... Wow, really? WTF is wrong with you....?
ReplyDeletePond Lyfe
ReplyDeletea junky is dead and 4 junkies are in jail.. why is everyone so emotional it a win for society
ReplyDeleteIm gonna steer clear o' Memphis myself. What a fuckin shame. She seemed like an awesome awesome chick on the show. Big tough gangstas in JAIL for life!
ReplyDeleteso their talented at what murder?
ReplyDeleteomg jus saw this shit tonight smh, one of them got life!
ReplyDeleteDyp Shyts Lyfe! What Fycking Fyools! Do a murder at a place where u leave your DNA in the nature of the process, it's like donating blood and then robbing Red Cross - were they that stupyd or just didn't care? This generation of gun pulling young-ones leaving a dozen babies with as many baby-mommas, then going to prison, leaving us tax payers to pay for their life and their kids. We need mandatory birth control in some of these hoods. These fools even tried to sexually assault the woman too, so leave their blood and their sperm, why not your business card too? God help us in the US!!!!
ReplyDeleteones on probation one got five years and the other gets 20 why did the one who lied get the least amount of time?
ReplyDeleteThe triggerman got life, the respectful one who dropped the dime on the others and hit the father in the head (P) got 20 years and the dirtbag who drove the car and lied to the cops only got 5 years. Those poor kids lost their mom for nothing, may she R.I.P.
