X-Raided Stabbed Seven Times in Prison Riot

Incarcerated rapper X-Raided -- real name Anerae Brown -- was stabbed seven times during a prison riot at the Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, Calif., where he is currently serving 31 years for his role in a 1992 shooting that left one woman dead.

Despite his incarceration X-Raided has been running his own rap label, Bloc Star Entertainment, from behind bars, releasing somewhere near a dozen albums. "They wanted him to produce and release their rap album," a source in X-Raided's camp said of the motive.



"We're talking about inmates serving Life without the possibility of parole wanting to be rap stars, and feeling so rejected to the point of wanting to kill him in an attempt to gain some fame. It's absurd."

The three inmates responsible for the stabbing have been identified as affiliates of the Northern Riders gang, and are said to have used a homemade knife fashioned from a piece of metal from the prison's baseball equipment, and also a toothbrush equipped with eight razor blades.

"These guys are essentially a Protective Custody gang," continued the source. "They're a group of guys who were kicked off of the mainline by the Norte who came together on a sensitive needs yard and made up a new PC gang. It's ridiculous. They ran away from the mainline only to get to an SNY facility and form a new so-called gang."

X-Raided was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Fresno, California, though his condition is currently unknown. The three inmates responsible for his attack have been charged with attempted murder.

Wake up sheltered Helen. So sorry dear but EVERYONE behind bars including the CO's are making money! Any why blame em'? R U really irritated because this "black guy" can make a better living than you even in prison? Mind ur own f'in business and worry about lil' Timmy catchin lice by hanging his lil' coat up with the other kids. I say XRaided should make music as long as he wants. I LOVE his lyrics, always have!!! So go on now Helen...go wait by the mailbox for your welfare check and be pissed off at a black guy for being the "Jones'" that you can't keep up with! LOL! Signed, a supportive white/hispanic woman.

When people can not get along with other people and have crossed into the darkside by not abiding to social standards. and commit gross negligent acts, then they are striped of the standards we all recieve. and they are the lowest forms of society they chose that path now let them live in that sub-society, design to make them feel bad. instead of giving them freedoms enjoyed by law abbiding people.

He should not be allowed to do any type of business from his cell. It is an insult that he is given all these privileges. He is suppose to serve a sentence. Blacks sure have it good these days, always using the past as an excuse for everything they do. It is all wrong, this is different times, and should apply to all races, no matter what color. You go to prison, you should be serving your time, not enjoy special privileges. It seems he got a bonus, FREE BOARD AND LODGING, and running a business, RIDICULOUS!! He got what he deserved.

Blacks don't get the same opportunity as whites? Are you out of your mind? They get affirmative action, which means that even if they aren't as smart or qualified as whites, they still get the job just because of their skin color, and now people like you have even given them the white house, just because they're black. I have no problem with blacks, but stop giving them excuses to use as to why they don't or can't act like normal law-abiding citizens of a country that caters to every last one of their freaking needs.

I feel no pity for that guy who got stabbed. Why? Because he was in prison for his involvement in the murder of a WOMAN! The only thing he could have done worse was kill a child. The rules of prison are not too different than ones on the "streets", it's kill or be killed. Now, the fact that he's running a rap label and making money while he's supposed to be paying his debt to society, does California not have a Son of Sam law or whatever? Even if they don't, the proceeds should be going to the family of that woman he killed to up his street-cred.

Obama complained to Channel 5 that not enough blacks were shown on their TV station. So now Channel 5 has vowed to show "COPS" 6 times a week instead of the usual 3.

This is the problem with America. This scumbag along with the rest of those scumbags in prison should not be permitted to do anything. It's not a music studio or a restaurant. It's not a health gym or spa. It's punishment for crimes committed against society. The Warden out west has the right idea...and all of you know who I am talking about.

The arrogance of the majority of White people is so sickening. Their logic: "If we say 'rap' is not music, than it's not music." (lol)

Music, per Webster's dictionary, is defined as "VOCAL, instrumental, or MECHANICAL sounds having RHYTHM, melody, or harmony."

Rappers, who are very VOCAL, use mostly MECHANICAL sounds for their RHYTHM (beats). Playing an instrument is only part of the definition. You also have to ask certain question:

1. Does rap express ideas and emotions? The answer is "YES" b/c it's made by people.

2.Is rapping "an art of sound in time"? While some may argue that it is not very artful, there is no denying that it is a creation of sound in time. Art is very subjective (even more so than music), but basically anything created by a person can be called art. Therefore, rap is an art form.

3.Are the musical elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color utilized in rap? Let's start with rhythm. It's all about the beat. At it's basic core, rap is words set to a specific beat or set of beats. That's all it was when it first sprang up in the late 1970s.

We tax payers are paying for the bricks and mortar prison facility, guards, food, and medical care for convicted murders serving life sentences who are allowed to continue their careers as if they never went to trial. Something is terribly wrong with this picture.

Its amazing how people keep talking about the tax dollars and the care inmates get. The prison guard unions get most of that money. Inmates maybe get 2 meals a day and they are not given tvs or extras, the families and friends pay for those "luxuries". The drugs, guns, and other things come in come from the guards. Why is that they can't control the prison market?

Prison is a billion dollar industry, and the money goes to the guards that make $100k a year to babysit. Some of them dress and talk more like a gang banger than the inmates. Some gang bangers (rappers) are employed by the corrections department and continue activity inside. Stop looking at the Lock-ups, they are propaganda to urge the government to spend more money.
PC - means protective custody (snitches, rapist, child molesters). They have to be seperated from main population for their safety. Its ironic that they they start their own gang. For people thinking that there is rehabilitation, there is no more rehabilitation in the CA prison system. Majority of programs have been eliminated so they can hire more guards, and waste more money for programs they don't need.
