Rapper MC Breed is dead.The Michigan-based rapper (real name: Eric Breed), who has worked with the likes of Tupac Shakur and Too Short, succumbed to apparent complications from kidney failure, according to published reports.
Darryl Morris, Breed's manager, told the 'The Detroit News' that he was found dead on Saturday (Nov. 22) at a friend's home in Ypsilanti. No further details were available as of press time.
In September, Breed was reportedly playing basketball in Atlanta when he collapsed. He was then transported from the site of the pickup game to a nearby hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
At the time, Morris told 'AllHipHop.com' that Breed had to be revived three times. He said a number of rappers were contacted about participating in a benefit concert to help Breed with his medical expenses. "We are hoping we can find Breed a kidney through this process, before it's too late," Morris told the popular hip-hop site.
MC Breed, who was 36, was preparing to release an album titled 'Original Breed,' and also planned to issue a DVD about his life titled 'Where is MC Breed?'

LOOK you bunch of ignorant racists, it says this is black voices, why are you here. Why? Because you wish you were black, wish you could rap and had style. Your mind is garbage and you hide behind a computer with your little cocks between your legs. If me and my house negro brothas showed up at your doors, you'd lock it and call the police instead of standing up to us and fighting. So if you don't like us, stay out of our sites and spread your meth burned out brain thoughts on all the other sites you have. A BLACK MAN IS PRESIDENT and you should all slit your throats so we don't hear your crying anymore.
