Although black people account for only 12 percent of the U.S. population, an estimated 60 percent of all prisoners in the United States are black.  With that being said, GWOP staff has compiled a list of our favorite Hip Hop acts that are currently locked up in the system.

In the history of hip-hop, popular rappers such as Slick Rick, Tupac Shakur, Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown, Remy Ma, Beanie Sigel,  Black Rob, Shyne, Mystikal, Gucci Mane, T.I.  and C-Murder have spent a few months to several years in prison. Snoop Dogg was acquitted of murder; Diddy faced jail time but he was acquitted on bribery and weapons charges in 2001 stemming from a club shooting. His protege, Shyne, wasn’t as lucky and was convicted in the same case and sentenced to 10 years.  GWOP Magazine staff have compiled a list of the best rappers behind bars.
