Black Thought used to get into ish too. He caught a couple of gun charges in early-mid 90's.

But most Philly rappers are part-time rappers, part-time street dudes. The only full time rappers at this point are probably Cass, Ness, RJ Payne, Thought & Free.
I remember Sigel said Black Thought was his first rhyme partner in the 7th grade when he was on Taxstone podcast

You a damn lie

Thought did not catch no damn gun charges in the early to mid 90's. He sold drugs before then but never caught any gun charges in the early to mid 90's. I know this for a fact. He was fully invested in music around that time. Thought's brother was the one that was getting into shyt

On Trial For Helping Off-duty Cop Under Attack, Officer Passed Service Revolver To Defendant

by Dave Racher, Daily News Staff Writer

Posted: June 11, 1994
Nathaniel Thomas saw the off-duty cop being beaten by two teen-agers and ran over to help at the South Philadelphia streetcorner last year, the defense lawyer said.

As Officer Darien McBride was on the ground after being shot in the foot by an unknown gunman at 18th and Tasker, he shoved his service revolver to Thomas, who then shot and wounded the two teens.


Yesterday, a jury acquitted Thomas, a 30-year-old financial analyst, of 18th Street near Washington Avenue, of aggravated assault and weapons charges.

"My client should be in the Mayor's Reception Room receiving an award for heroism as opposed to a courtroom," said attorney Fortunato N. Perri Jr. "He was a hero."

Perri called McBride as a defense witness after the two victims - Dwight Grant and Calvin Saunders, both 19 - testified that the officer had harassed them before handing his gun to Thomas and shouting, "Bust them!" before the shooting.

McBride denied that story. He said he had arrested Grant and Saunders on

drug charges a few weeks before the Feb. 27, 1993, shooting, and they had threatened to retaliate.


Another cop testified that he had heard Saunders make the earlier threat.

"We know where you hang out and we'll get you for harassing us," Saunders had allegedly said, according to the witness.

The district attorney's office later dropped the drug charges against Grant and Saunders.

Originally, Thomas also was charged with wounding McBride. But the DA's office withdrew that charge.

"My client was justified in what he did," Perri said. "He was trying to save the life of a police officer who was in trouble. He knew McBride was an officer."
