Charred body found in trunk of burning car was Birmingham rapper Bam Bam Carter
A man found dead in the trunk of a Birmingham car in Ensley has been identified as that of a popular Birmingham rapper.
The Jefferson County Coroner's Office on Tuesday identified the victim as Paul Matthew Carter. Carter, 32, is better known as Bam Bam Carter.
Carter's body was discovered in the early morning hours of Thursday, June 8. Birmingham police and firefighters responded at 3:22 a.m. to a report of a car on fire at 2033 Fayette Avenue. When Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service extinguished the blaze, they discovered the body in the trunk of what appears to be a four-door sedan, said Birmingham police Sgt. Bryan Shelton.
The car was off to the side in an alley, and so heavily damaged that investigators initially couldn't determine the make or model. Carter's body was also unrecognizable, and ultimately identified through dental records.
Those who knew Carter recognized his vehicle from news reports, and said he had not been seen since in the two days prior to the discovery of his body.
Carter's promotional video says this about him: "Bam Bam gives a real look at what's going on it the streets today. Hard lyrics with a message. Bam Bam gives back to his community and helps mentor the inner-city youth."
Family members have not been up to talking about his death, but said this, "He loved his music."
No arrests have been announced in Carter's slaying.

Bam Bam went out in fine but unenjoyable rapper fashion. This should give him street creds....or post-street creds....or whatever creds come his ilk's way.

Both the rapper and his car had to be identified by their grill

( Some time later)
Louis, looking in trunk: Who's that? Ordell Robbie: That's Beaumont. Louis: Who's Beaumont? Ordell Robbie: A employee I had to let go. Louis: What'd he do? Ordell Robbie: He put himself in a position where he was going to have to do ten years in prison, that's what he did. And if you know Beaumont, you know ain't no god damn way he can do ten years. And if you know that, then you know Beaumont's gonna do anything Beaumont can to keep from doing them ten years, including telling the federal government any and every motherfucking thing about my black ass. Now that, my friend, is a clear cut case of him or me. And you best believe it ain't gonna be me.

Some careers just flame out.
The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC
