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.
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.
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.
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… More »
“Incendiary” doesn’t even come close to describing “50 Shots,” the new single from Brooklyn rapper Papoose. More »
