So Misunderstood
This made me laugh:
Rapper C-Murder, in jail after a murder conviction in the 2002 killing of a teenager, has changed his stage name because he thinks he's been misunderstood. "I am not a murderer," the rapper, whose real name is Corey Miller, said in a statement released Tuesday.
He will now go by C Miller, said his publicist, Giovanni Melchiorre of New York-based Koch Records. Miller's statement said people had misinterpreted the C-Murder name, which he intended as a reflection of his upbringing in one of New Orleans' most violent housing projects.
"From the beginning, I have been a target because of who I am, my stage name and for my success as an entertainer and the success of my siblings," said Miller, whose brothers Percy and Vyshonn are also rappers. "People hear the name C-Murder and they don't realize that the name simply means that I have seen many murders in my native Calliope projects neighborhood."
--Right. Wonder what The Killers have to say about this. I suppose he believes people thought the Go Go's were real go-go dancers, and that The Presidents of the United States of America traveled on Air Force One.

I doubt his cell mate cares what his stage name is.
Says: M@ at April 6, 2005 08:31 AMYou should think about that BEFORE he started rapping...idiot!
Says: char at April 6, 2005 09:06 AMHOLLLLAAA!
Says: Iceman at April 6, 2005 10:53 AMlet's all be fair, and a little smart. if the killers and 36 mafia and murder inc. can choose their own names without accusation, why can't c-murder? and why can't someone take his word for it unless there is probable reason to link him to a murder, other than his stage name? too many prejudices in this world.
Says: kris at April 6, 2005 11:28 AMUmm, okay, dude. Clearly we are all unfair and unintelligent based on our remarks. HUH?!
And you should take note: Murder Inc. no longer goes by that name? It's now just "The Inc." I think the reasons are clear.
