Roc-A-Fella rapper Uncle Murda was shot in the head on Tuesday (January 22, 2008) in New York City.

Uncle Murda sat down exclusively with AllHipHop.com and revealed details as to what happened and what his next move in the music industry will be.

The Brooklyn bred revealed that he was shot in the head, as he stood with a friend outside of a parker car in New York.

While the rapper didn’t divulge specifics, he denied rumors that the shooting was the result of several high profile disputes with a number of rappers.

"This wasn’t no entertainment beef sh*t" Uncle Murda told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview. "This was some street sh*t."

Uncle Murda, who narrowly escaped death, has been in several lyrical beefs with rappers like Nas, Mobb Deep and most infamously Papoose.

The rapper, born Leonard Gant, was treated at a local hospital and released.

He dismissed any reports that the shooting was connected to any of his rap rivalries.

"If anybody, I think it may have been the NYPD. But who it ever it was that did it, they missed because I didn’t even know I was hit. One of my crew told me that my face was bleeding and took me to the hospital. They said I still have a bullet in my head and if I am sexually active it will fall out [laughs]."

The rapper claimed he was tending to his wounds without the help of medical assistance.

Although addressing the situation light heartedly, Uncle Murda also addressed the on going rivalry with Papoose and his plans are for his album.

"That is old," Uncle Murda said, "I don’t have any problems with that dude. Only thing I am focused on is my upcoming album on Roc-A-Fella/Violator. It is still real and happening so look out for that because it is going to be hot."

my homie got shot in the head with a 22 and that shit aint did shit...... he still breathing barley broke the skull

if you have a fat head the bullets can just move round to the side of your head and not even do anything to you..

or he was just lucky... that's it... lucky ass nigga

Uncle Murda is one lucky dude to still be alive after a bullet to the head like that.

yeh its all luck.

I do like how it seems he ain't tryna get points by gettin shot...

it could've GRAZED his head..i mean if you got shot in the head, you'd die..bullets can pierce through skulls
unless he's some magical motherfucking rapper

^ it's still in his head, so it couldn't have grazed it.. a lot of people survive bullets to the head.

I know a chick who got her shit split wit a 44... I mean she can't give no interviews but she's alive...

I've met people that had bullets lodged in their heads for decades.

Someone up there really loves Uncle Murda.

Motherfuckers need to learn to keep shouting till they dead..

in russia they call it a "Control Shot," but i forget the original terms.

long-standing political unrest in russia has led to a balloon of slaying of outspoken or important people. Journalists are frequently laid on ice.

the term refers to the final shot taken by an assassin, carefully aimed in to the already motionless head. after a hit has taken place, they are smart enough to realize that being on a crime scene for two more seconds is worth remaining in control of the situation. the psychology behind it is fascinating to me, in a way.


[EDIT] выстрел контроля Literally, "Shot of the control"

"you run wit niggas that get shot, I run wit niggas that do the shootin"

was that his first time getting shot?

There are a lot of MC's that should be shot in the head.

it's because he is actually The ONE ...
Uncle Murda > The Matrix

Murda (born Leonard Grant) admitted the incident was "a little bit scary," but said he's used to it.

"It ain't the first time," he said. "I've always gone through situations where people try to take my life. I've probably been shot at about five thousand times."

"THAT'S GANGSTA!?!"
