Inappropriate Bridal Gift Results In Hasty Cancellation Of Papoose-Remy Ma Nuptials

Maura Johnston — Tue, 13 May 2008 09:30:00 EDT

Yesterday was supposed to be a beautiful day for Remy Ma, despite her current incarceration in New York's Rikers Island; she was set to be married to her boyfriend, Papoose, in a ceremony that would serve as a prelude for today's sentencing for a shooting incident outside the now-shuttered nightclub Pizza Bar and allow Papoose to come by for conjugal visits while she was in the pokey. (Um, no pun intended) But thanks to Papoose taking the "brides need to have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue" maxim to heights that may have been inappropriate for the wedding's jailhouse setting—i.e. attempting to slip Remy a universal handcuff key before the nuptials began—the wedding was over before anyone could walk down the aisle.

The contraband was quickly confiscated by eagle-eyed guards, according to city correction officials. Papoose was kicked off the island without ever seeing the woman to whose cuffs he once held the key.

The wedding was kaput.

"Get out of my face," Papoose snarled at a reporter yesterday as he returned to his Cadillac SUV in the jail's parking lot.

"I don't want to talk," said the still-single "Mix Tape King," who had worn his Sunday-best Yankee cap for the occasion.

"You all write racist articles."

Not to defend Papoose's contraband, but the phrase "Sunday-best Yankee cap" would seem to back up his statement. Anyway, Remy is expected to be all contrite at this morning's sentencing, but given that she was on Hot 97 last week bragging about how she makes more money than the jail guards, I suspect that the judge will see it as something of an act and that she'll be in the pen for at least a few years.

Rapper Papoose Sued By Ambulance Corps, Still Named "Papoose"

Anthony Miccio — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:00:00 EDT

Watch out, The Game! Papoose is hungry to take the title of Most Pathetic Rapper Alive. Still without a label, still without a single or an album to his name, engaged to a jailbird and relying solely on beef to keep people interested in his career. Now that need to stoke beef has earned him a lawsuit. Seems that he misrepresented himself to the Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corps by claiming to be making a video about their services when really he was using the footage for his video "Ambulance," which describes how little he thinks of rapper Uncle Murda. Check out the clip (and Papoose's sluggish Hova-style declarations) below.

Look, Papoose. Uncle Murda. For the sake of the couple thousand people who could possibly care, let's call this off and focus on insulting rappers who are already successful. Whatever your problems might be, they're just not worth annoying EMTs over.

Rapper Papoose To Marry Remy Ma in Jail, Punch Fat Joe in the Face (Again)

Anthony Miccio — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:35:00 EDT

Papoose, vocally reminiscent of Jay-Z and physically reminiscent of an emaciated Panthro, swears he will marry troubled rapper Remy Ma, despite her assault conviction last Thursday, which could potentially put her in jail for the next 25 years. "We always wanted to keep our personal lives personal, so that's why we never went public with our relationship," said Papoose. "Right now, I just feel like she gotta live through me. Yes, we were scheduled to be married on a yacht April 27th. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we are now making arrangements to be married in prison." if this wasn't enough chaos, Papoose is still dealing with the fallout of punching Fat Joe in the face. Something the rapper, whose long-delayed debut album has yet to be released, is willing to do again.

Papoose repeatedly claims that he doesn't think about Fat Joe in this recent interview, but three minutes into his description of the beef, you start to think he might be protesting too much.

"Dude is bragging about putting out albums, but...dude is bragging about having a hit record. But what's the point of having a record when the album flops?" Such is the logic of a man who, thanks to years of woes, has failed to put out either a single or an album of his own. Ever. Could be worse: He could be named Papoose. Oh, wait.

Stuck On Repeat: Ol' Dirty Bastard Still Got Your Money; Papoose Sounds Papissed

Brian Raftery — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 16:04:17 EST

Still Listen To Gangsta Music put two very, very different tracks up this weekend: One is a remix of Ol' Dirty Bastard's 1999 classic "Got Your Money" (and by "remix," we mean "mash-up with 'Louie Louie'"); the other is Papoose's freestyle take on Nas and Jay-Z's "Black Republicans," which heats up in the last minute or so. Both songs are worth a listen, and neither will be appearing on Tom Finn's playlist anytime soon:

Brooklyn Rapper Takes Aim At New York City Cops

Brian Raftery — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 10:12:00 EST

"Incendiary" doesn't even come close to describing "50 Shots," the new single from Brooklyn rapper Papoose. Released just a few days after a Queens man was shot to death by police, "50" bashes the cops, name-checks the New York Post, and ends in a barrage of gunfire; in other words, it's like 1989 all over again.
