Two gangland associates of rapper Bobby Shmurda were convicted Monday of murder and attempted murder in a Manhattan courtroom.
The two members of Shmurda’s GS9 street gang, Rashid Derissant and Alex Crandon, were convicted for the 2013 murder of a rival gang member in Brooklyn.
Shmurda, whose real name is Ackquille Pollard, is in jail awaiting trial on the same charges his pals were convicted of, in addition to conspiracy to commit murder, reckless endangerment, felony weapons possession and assorted drug charges.
Pollard, Derrissant and Crandon were rounded up along with other members of the violent GS9 gang in a December 2014 police raid.
“As indicated by their verdict, the jurors in this trial heard evidence describing a cold blooded murder, wild gunplay and a terrifying disregard for the safety of innocent bystanders as the defendants tried to violently settle scores with rivals in New York City and beyond,” said Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan in a statement on Monday.
The 21-year-old rapper is best known for his hit rap song “Hot Nigga” and for popularizing the trendy but short-lived Shmoney dance.
Well he did give the feds all of the ammunition that they needed….the rapped about it all.
…
Welp, this is what yall rap about and aspire to be in life……OWN IT!

^^^^^^^^
For some odd reason, I got a chuckle out of this.
When you live at “when keepin it real” then have to move to “goes wrong”. BARS got a whole new meaning, huh?
he gone be a “hot boy” in jail
I have seen this lil boy name before, hust never thought about looking him up.
These folks were in the life way before the general public heard of them. He was a BG then got lucky and was able to cut a hot song. Thats all. Its not like he got big and couldnt leave the streets alone. OR…got big and then decided to try to make his music reality. He was found in the streets.
They all in the video dancing and having a good old time while being told on at the same time. Jackazzez!! I’m not going to lie…I was dancing too but I ain’t do nuffin!!!
With all these divorces and separations…. Raise your hand if you still think $$$$$$$=====happiness
? you better come through…
Mama said no pussy cats inside my dog house.”
Its a lifestyle. A way of life.
I feel so badly that he wrote that song. It was a brilliant song in its context. It was a statement of these times many black inner city youth are living. I wish Bobby Shmurda could afford an attorney powerful enough to have defend his freedom of speech and have the song dismissed as fiction.
All the major Russian and Italian organized crime conducted in and controlling New York and the Feds targeted a young black street gang that couldn’t even afford lawyers powerful enough to secure bail and defend them adequately.
Ironically, white rock stars were never under surveillance, raided, and jailed for writing and singing about their rampant drug abuse and the known drug trafficking on their tours. Even their rapes get swept under the rug and their crimes are romanticized in rock n roll movies.
Whelp, Young Thug would never get caught, even the Feds can’t make out sissy speak.
That’s true. I just hate that it’s some talented azz black men behind bars. I have seen some art come out of there that is just downright amazing. This young boy had folk jamming…
Not one translator in th world could help with them. Like case dismissed on account………..we can’t understand if they did a crime or got dropped on their heads as kids!! LOL
ughhhhhhhhhhhhh
Well apparently they allowed RATS!! SMH
Sadly reality makes the best songs…..but you can only sing about heartache and sadness, not how you managed not to die!!
Shoot, F the Police came straight from a real life incident…….
Or they were just hot.
That too!!
I chuckled
Never heard the song…”short-lived”…in every aspect!?
Welp I say lock all their arses up its clowns like these that make the neighborhood unsafe ,people can’t even play make their kids play outside in peace. It’s sick
??????
There was this one dude on fb that was claiming gs9 he is a big time scammer who tried to find out if I had “Chase” like I was born yesterday. soon as bobbay n em got snatched up he quietly removed all traces of that shit from his profile
Good! If they really did it!!!
ION care about bad guykillers dying or going to gel ???? So I hope he killed another bag guykiller, and not someone innocent…
Have no clue who these peepuh is but if they did the crime l, please by all means do the time.
He began his career and ended it in the same week. Don’t they have a guiness record for that? Or does Millie vanillie/ice still hold that title? ??
I feel you but it’s time to put the cape away. These are adult black men who had options in life but chose the glorification of drugs, guns, and murder…I mean shmurda. Maybe if the rapper didn’t have all the alleged murderers in his video, maybe he’d have a freedom of speech case but that’s not how the law works. Same thing happened to lil Kim claiming she didn’t know the shooter but gave him a shot out in her music…and it was used against her. Do better rap ” artists” and everyone please start rejecting this trash they claim is black cultural music…it’s not…it’s gang music.
i s2g?? all i do is cash out?? & if u aint a hoe ?? get up out my trap hoooouuusssseee????
This!
I gotta tell my students this. Their middle school knuckleheads.
So he snitched on himself
Now that I see the charges, there is no way in hell they were letting him out on bail.
Why are you surprised.? Why do you think this is ever going to be equal?
The game hasnt changed. It never will.
Who do you think they need to fill up these Privately owned prisons?
The prison industrial complex is REAL .
THEY need 83% ocupancy, to turn a profit. It’s in their contracts with the states.
People keep yelling “freedom of speech” “freedom of speech”
Yes, in america you can say what you want.
But the 2nd part to all of this is, there are consequences.
Bobby Shmurda, is not the first, young man to go to jail for what he was writing in his songs.
Do your research on “The Hip Hop Police” in NY
Our kids don’t get told about any of the things that have happened before they came to this planet.
i am not sure if its social media, or what. But they all act like ALL OF THIS BRAND NEW.
what are folks talking to their kids about?
But isnt that similar to a lot of Rappers lives.
One hit wonder, make one hit. Get little money, and cant leave “that life alone”
Then they get caught up. Killing people
Catch a case
And spend their last dime on a lawyer trying to stay out of the electric chair.
They are watching him.
The thing is…they let you do a whole lot.
Building at file, and bringing more people into your mess.
That way they can take more than one person down at a time.
Actually in the 70s they tried to kick out John Lennon for his statements to the press and interviews. He was against Vietnam and pro Black panther party and the FbI had a huge file on him. Some people even think he was killed by the FBI.
What are folks talking to their kids about?
The million dollar question! I ask myself everyday.
Can you hear the prosecution saying this to the jury? Maaaan. ?
Bobby Shmurda needs real lawyers. He can’t afford lawyers that would have had him out on bail and under political asylum with a new name and life in the Middle East.
Bobby Shmurda’s case is far more political than Lil Kim’s. Kim was imprisoned on perjury. Shmurda is being denied due process and railroaded with no bail which is unconstitutional.
Exactly. I’m not surprised by the injustice but I am surprised by the naïveté of black people to think the targeting and railroading of Shmurda is because of crimes committed. If Bobby Shmurda wrote that song and in real life was in Bible Study seven days a week and was attending Oxford he still would have been targeted denied due process and imprisoned unconstitutionally.
Black people still think racist law enforcement targeting is determined by whether a black person is good or bad. It’s determined by politics.
White organized crime still controls New York through drugs and violence and murder but the Feds target housing project and inner city street gangs?
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
Free Breezy Hoe….. some waaaaaay free meeshie hoe……
Mitch caught a body bout a week ago….week ago…
Yeah i’m still trying to decode that song…smh
Omg this is getting real…
All these boys are young punks! I have not an ounce of sympathy for them. Bragging on records about killing people, hiding bodies and then act surprised when evidence is used against you. Also, had the expectancy that LA Reid was supposed to bail you out. He is a one hit wonder with no revenue. Please sit down!
All that does not give him a pass. Evidence speaks volumes the law is the law. We are entitled to freedom of speech but we are not entitled to act on the contents. And to be real you dont see the Russian mob all up on Instagram, and Twitter. He wasnt a studio thug If you taunt and flaunt your crimes you make it easy for the feds. Also loose lips sink ships and nothing nails your ass to the wall like one of your buddies telling where the bodies are who did it and how they got there.
Bobby with that “slow” look on his face.
Free Shmurda… About a week agoooo! I have no sympathies for those seeking violence and murder SO MUCH, that they make it part of their music moniker. #StopIt
Ur post made me actually go back and read the lyrics to that song bcause this whole time I’ve just been nodding to the beat..wtf was he thinkin?!!
The ultimate problem is REALITY. The Spirit is Real. You can’t rap happily about how you murder people – and watch their bodies twirl and drop like you are invincible or a deity when you are not. The Spirit is in Control Period. And shut that down. There was nothing brilliant about that song.
The targeting is the injustice. Shmurda wasn’t targeted because of alleged crimes he was targeted because of his songs. Why doesn’t all music prompt surveillance? Was Eminem under surveillance and targeted by the Feds or not even by CPS because he wrote and rapped about killing his wife with their child in the car. No.
