Lil Wayne Finally Sentenced to Prison for a Year After Multiple Delays

I mean, I don't hope anything terrible happens to him. But I just can't have a lot of sympathy for someone who has tattoos that, to my knowledge, are supposed to emulate the amount of people he has murdered. Also, I'm sure he'll do fine in prison, considering this one apparently gives special treatment to celebrities. I'm sure a "gangster rapper" type guy will be just fine.

but yet you still reply.

Research your facts. It was not his gun. He was not 'holding it.' It was on one of his tour bus's and it was registered to his friend. New York has strict gun laws. I'm personally not into guns; but I'm only stating the facts. By the way, he did do take some college courses and was an EXCELLENT STUDENT. Thank you.

PS: I'm sure you didn't mean anything negatively, but look at the threat. More than half the people writing have been celebrating a man going to jail because they say his music 'sucks' or he's 'overrated.'

Why would someone have that sort of attitude? Why are people happy over this?

Nice name. 'Rebelution07.'

Perhaps you will learn some things. Law is mind without reason is something a philosopher by the name of Aristotle said.

Way to be a rebel.

Damn right, my name is rebelution07!.....anyways lil wayne is CRAP and you need to hop off his ass and learn about some REAL music!!!!

I agree with manicexpression, just because you don't like his music doens't mean its awesome he's going to jail. He's still a human being. And in all honesty, his music isn't that bad. Yeah its mainstream, but a lot of people are into it. He's going to jail for a really stupid law that really just kind of fucked him over. Get over your stupid middle school music taste elitism.

of course it doesnt mean he should be going to jail, but if someone hates your music and the artist possibly, then they have the god given right to feel or say however they please, big deal. get so touchy.

wasn't his gun, it was register to someone else in his group.

Yea, it's funny how despite his self depiction of being such a badass/thug, he gets caught and arrested for possession of a gun.

Cops love to bust big celebrities, they'll invade their tour busses/planes all the time to find shit. That kind of activity goes back to Ray Charles when he got arrested for Herion possession.

agreed

co sign....
this is another example of our freedoms being snatched before our very eyes

yeah right no body is going to touch this guy he will eat steak

Must be fairly young because your sold by lil waynes music. Hes the biggest rapper because he makes clever rhymes that only idiots would listen to and most likely follow. You mustve not gotten the memo from generation Y and how any rap after this gen pretty much sucks and is referred to as "crunk music". Not much heart and soul in todays rap. Just guys trying to make $$$ with auto-tunes and crap that literally could take 6-7 hours to make yet gross millions by new gen Z. Their music is played everywhere and I can see why its hard for younger people to get away from it because its convenient. Hopefully they dont let lil wayne create any songs in prison. Might be a little less crunk on the radio because it is played 24/7 in Hawaii because of all the tourists. I only listen to oldies now until i save up for another ipod.

TALK TO EM! Underground & old school is all thats original now

Amen
Immortal Technique- "Dance with the Devil"
now thats some real rap...not for the Top 40 crowd

Just to mention one song from the thousands and thousands of "old" rap songs that exist which actually contain lyrics.

I agree...underground music is where its at!!
Check out Blu and exile, Jean grae, etc.

How the fuck is any current rapper from generation Z when they're all in their early to late 20s and early 30s? Gen Y was born between 1979-1989 with extended to 1994. Yeah music today is made for Gen Z, but now dominant gen Z rappers may pop up until the mid to late 2010s or even the 2020s.

Rap today sucks, Mainstream is bland, and underground is not far behind. Only music i listen to today is only stuff, indie, alternative, electronic, and early 90s hip-hop. hip Hop is dead, get ready for dance music dominance and pop resurgence once the label get tired of hip-hop.

And umm.. no, Autotune was created by a baby boomer, it was first used to find oil underground, used by the oil industry, I think a guy who worked for Exxon in the 80s created it, when gen x was only in their teens or early 20s. He then figured he could use it in music, so he packaged it a a computer program to fix the pitch of singers, it's highly used now, rather it be obvious with "artist" Like Lil Wayne, or if they're using it to fix pop diva's voices in the studio, Britney Spears. Either way, it's shitty in one usage, and shitty and dishonest in another.

agreed,

this chump is over-rated.

go to jail and learn some respect for society.

Right... because it's not like anything you've heard from him was prerecorded and will be replayed on radio or TV again until he's released. Since, you know, the stuff you heard on the radio is live all the time. So while he's in prison, you won't hear his music since he won't be at the local station to perform it live. Because, you know, there's no such thing as recorded media that can be replayed at a later date.

Seems like you're safe from Weezy for a few months.

Yep, you sure are.

[I wish there was a way to convey how hard I rolled my eyes at the comment to which I responded.]

fine, let me rephrase that

Good, atleast he wont be making crappy music anytime soon

"go to jail and learn some respect for society"

a bit of an oxymoron. modern day jails don't teach anything except how to loose all hope of getting a minimum wage job. and that won't affect someone who's been raised as a spoiled rich kid

He has to be protected; he's extremely popular and there are a lot of people who would love to harm him. Respect life.

AGREED

his people have already cut (paid)deals with the guards and inmates on the inside regarding his safety.

Would you rather he not be protected? He's high-risk for being attacked or murdered.

no, I agree that he should be protected. This does prove, however, that these rappers that talk shit in the media and act tough in the studio are really just like you and me when it comes to going to prison.

Reality sets in and they and their posse's show that they are really scared to death about being locked up behind bars.

Nas says that " most rappers and emcee's lie on their bio's and they really ain't that tough".
I know people in Atlanta that moved from New Orleans after Katrina who grow up with Wayne. They said that he's really just a nice kid, Momma's boy kind of guy that just got spoiled by getting too much too quick. They all say that he was really never known to be as tough as he's been acting over the past few years.

I hope he learns and I hope he changes. Anybody can change if they really want to.

It's called imagination. He's lyrically inspired. If half of what any rapper said was literally true, I'd be scared to walk outside my front door. But hip-hop is like most other forms of music; it's storytelling. In fact, it's like most storytelling in general. If anyone thinks transgressive writers wouldn't be in fear of their life inside a prison, they're mistaken.

Everyone knows Weezy's a nice guy's that's a quote momma's boy unquote. He admits it.

"This does prove, however, that these rappers that talk shit in the media and act tough in the studio are really just like you and me when it comes to going to prison."

This proves that strong and intelligent individuals know that if they walk into a situation such as prison believing they're invincible from harm, they'll get their throat cut. And it's especially true if you happen to be arguably the most visible hip-hop artist alive.

If anyone didn't already know that then it seems like a personal problem to me.

Anyway, we've all watched him grow up. He's still growing. And I'm positive he'll come out of this for the better. My problem with everyone else that's been posting on this story is that it's been far too negative and for the wrong reasons. It's as if they're happy he's going to prison. Because they don't like his music? What is that about?

This man is going to be in prison for a year; the gun wasn't his and the legality of cannabis is a precarious issue these days.

Anyway, Weezy has become something of a Bob Marley to a lot of people. And he's been overexposed, and there's always that group of people who can't get out of the middle-school 'anything that is popular blows!' mentality. It saddens me. And this wasn't directed towards you; it's just me explaining my frustration with the amount of hatred for an artist at a time when at the very least people could be hoping it will be a positive experience for him in some way.

Just my take on the entire ordeal. Respect and much love.

"If half of what any rapper said was literally true, I'd be scared to walk outside my front door"

? i could only imagine what you are listening to. i'm assuming that what you hear is "industry-urban-pop" not hip-hop in any way shape or form

cock meat sandwich!!!
