C-Murder has offered to help Remy Ma cope with jail life after her partner Papoose approached him for advice. The New Orleans, Louisiana star is currently under house arrest - awaiting a retrial - after a life sentence for second-degree murder was overturned in 2006. And he's using the time between jail and court to mentor other rap stars who have been incarcerated. He says, "Papoose had a lot of questions about Remy's situation, so any kind of way I can help, even if it's just words and advice, that's what it is."
C- Murder, real name Corey Miller, admits he's a little concerned that so many of his peers have been locked up in the past two years. He tells XXL magazine, "It seem like we targets (sic). Everybody blames hip-hop for all the problems in the world, so whenever a situation happen with a hip-hop artist, they gon' make it seem so drastic.
"They judge a book by its cover, off top. And definitely with the rap game, they feel like we out there thuggin', wildin' out, and that ain't really what we about.
"We don't want to be put in these situations, but once we there, we just gotta deal with 'em."
Remy Ma, real name Remi Smith, was sentenced to serve eight years behind bars earlier this year (May08) after she was found guilty on weapons and assault charges.
The 26-year-old hip-hop star shot Makeda Barnes Joseph in the abdomen last year (07). She is awaiting an appeal.

Remy Ma sentenced to 8 years in prison
Despite weeping and pleas to the judge for leniency, Remy Ma was sentenced to 8 years in prison today by New York State Supreme Court Justice Rena Uviller, according to the New York Post.
"I feel so bad for all the physical and mental pain you've gone through," Remy told the victim, Makeda Barnes-Joseph just before hearing her sentence. "This has taken a toll on us and both our families. I would never wish you harm and I pray the best for all of us."
Remy begged for leniency for the best interests of her young son, noting her own rough childhood.
While Judge Uviller acknowledged Remy's pleas, she also noted that her victim nearly died, and will never be physically the same again.
Remy's fiance, Papoose, was heard shouting "All you want is money!" at the victim after the sentence and yelled "Lock me up! Lock me up!" at court officers.
The couple, who's wedding was postponed this weekend, still plan to marry after Remy is transfered upstate.
