Posts about C-Murder

The former Tankstress from Master P’s No Limit record label is making a new album entitled Betty Rocka Locksmith slated for February of 2010. That’s right, if you forgot about Mia X; she’s making her return after a decade of silence.

Apparently the silence is due to the unexpected passing of her mother and father. She’s also been helping her younger sister get through medical school. The last full length album she put out was Mama Drama in 1998. Mia was showcased on C-Murder’s song “Mihita” off his Screamin’ 4 Vengeance album released last year.

My honest opinion is that Mia X could murk any female rapper when it comes to beef. Not to mention one of the first female rappers to hit the commercial rap scene in the 90’s besides Lady of Rage. I know I’ll get clowned on for even saying that, but it’s why it’s called an opinion.

Eleven days after he was ordered to spend the rest of his life in prison for a Jefferson Parish murder [click here], rapper Corey “C-Murder” Miller was sentenced this morning in connection with two unrelated attempted murders in a Baton Rouge nightclub. Miller, 38, received the 10-year sentence from Judge Tony Marabella of the 19th Judicial District as part of a plea deal the rapper agreed to on May 27, when he pleaded no contest to two counts of attempted second-degree murder. Attorneys said Miller also gets credit for the time he has been jailed awaiting trial and under house arrest since his arrest for the Aug. 14, 2001, incident at Club Raggs.

The amount of time Miller must serve on the sentence has not been calculated.”He probably served the vast majority of his time already,” Assistant Attorney General David Caldwell, who prosecuted the case with Butch Wilson, said after the sentence. “I don’t like it,” but he’s entitled to be credited the incarceration time he has served already. Miller’s attorney Steve Moore said Marabella retroactively revoked Miller’s bond in the Baton Rogue case, “which means (the state Department of Corrections) has to assume he has been in jail until now” in calculating the sentence.

Sporting a freshly shaved head, Miller appeared before Marabella shortly after 10 a.m. “Is there anything you’d like to say before I pronounce the sentence?” Marabella asked Miller, who was dressed in orange prison clothing and was restrained with handcuffs and ankle shackles. “No, your honor,” Miller replied. The incident was caught on Club Raggs’ video surveillance system, showing Miller, wearing a New Orleans’ Saints jersey bearing the number 03, arguing with the bouncer after refusing to be searched before entering.

As he left the club’s front door, Miller is seen pointing a pistol. Authorities said Miller tried to shoot the two people, but the semiautomatic pistol jammed. He tried to clear the jammed weapon and ejected a bullet that investigators recovered but since lost, prosecutors in the Baton Rouge case said. Prosecutors said they feared that the lost evidence and claims made by the Club Raggs’ owner Norman Sparrow in a related civil lawsuit, hindered their chance of getting a jury to convict Miller in the aged criminal case.

In the civil case, also filed in the 19th Judicial District, Sparrow claimed that Miller’s actions were a publicity stunt. Miller was convicted Aug. 11 of second-degree murder in the Jan. 12, 2002, death of Steve Thomas, 16, who was shot in the chest while being beaten by a group of men in the now-closed Platinum Club in Harvey. Judge Hans Liljeberg of the 24th Judicial District Court, sentenced Miller to a mandatory life sentence in prison on Aug. 14. Miller was immediately transferred to the custody of the state Department of Corrections after the sentencing in Gretna. Miller, who lived in Baton Rouge in 2001, was free on bond in the Club Raggs case when Thomas was shot in Harvey. The Jefferson Parish jury voted 10-2 to convict Miller of killing Thomas. Miller, who says he is innocent of that crime, is appealing

Master P’s brother and former No Limit soldier C-Murder was sentenced to life in prison yesterday after he was found guilty on Tuesday of shooting and killing 16 year old Steve Thomas at a nightclub in 2002.

Judge Hans Liljeber sentenced the rapper, whose real name is Corey Miller, to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Miller’s lawyer, Ron Rokosky, requested to be removed as the rapper’s representation due to Miller being unable to pay his legal fees.
