MC Breed Taken Off Life Support

Posted Sep 7th 2008 12:42PM by TMZ Staff

Old school rapper MC Breed has been taken off life support -- in a good way -- after being admitted to the hospital Friday because of kidney failure.

Breed -- who's worked with 2Pac and Too Short -- collapsed while he was shooting hoops in Atlanta. We're told Breed's kidneys are only 30% functional and it's likely he'll need a kidney transplant.

MC is still in the hospital -- where he's slowly recognizing faces and voices -- and will remain there for at least another week under observation.

2. Learn how to write please. It is common understanding that when one states "...been taken off life support", it is implied that it's just a matter of time before the individual becomes deceased. This clearly wasn't the case here. Somewhat misleading, particularly when highlighted with "Breaking News" header.
