As Real As It Gets

I thought that professional weed carriers like Spliff Star , Tony Yayo, and Memphis Bleek were supposed to be the ones to take the fall when their boss/famous rapper caught a charge. In the past week, we’ve come to learn that both Lil B-O-O-S-I-E and Lil Wayne are both going to be serving time pretty soon. I’m not trying to say that they shouldn’t go to jail, but I can’t help but think they actually WANT to go to jail to boost their image as somebody who is hard. We already know Weezy F. Baby was hard. I mean, he actually got shot in the mean streets of the N.O. It should probably also be noted that he shot himself, but it takes a cold blooded man to turn a gun on himself…or is that a dumb ass man? I get confused sometimes. Wayne was actually Plaxico before Plaxico “Plaxicoed” himself. I guess the state of Louisiana figures being dumb enough to shoot yourself is punishment enough rather than sending him to the pokey.

Unlike Wayne, Boosie probably would have had to do some time regardless since he was stupid enough to post videos on youtube, which were then posted on worldstarhiphop.com showing him flashing guns and other weaponry. Just from looking at Boosie for 3 seconds, I could guarantee that not a single one of those guns were registered, and that they averaged at least 2.3 bodies on each of them.

Weezy’s case is a little cloudier though. Apparently the gun found on his tour bus was registered to a friend of his who was also on the same bus when the cops busted it. However, the cops said they found Wayne’s DNA on the gun. I’m curious to know what kind of DNA they could’ve possibly found besides fingerprints. What in the hell was he doing to that poor pistol? I’m fairly certain you won’t go to jail for having fingerprints on a registered gun, but I could be wrong. Especially with the gun laws they got up in New York. The point is if his lawyer’s could have proven that the gun was registered to somebody else who was traveling with him on tour, then he would’ve beaten the case in a trial. Instead, he plead out and is about to go up north for about 8 months.

In the case of both of these guys, it just seems like with the declining sales climate in music, they need all the help they can get. We all saw how big Pac blew up after he got out of jail. TI is still putting out videos every other week. Damn near every hip hop head was going crazy waiting for Shyne to get out until the people over at immigration said “Fuck that. Get this nigga out of our country!” The point is, both of these rappers can benefit from doing a bid. Boosie will just solidify the fact that he always has been and always will be one of the realest in the game. Whenever he gets out, him and Webbie can go back to spelling out words in their songs and educating the youth. And for Wayne, well besides the fact that everybody is tired of the shitty music that he’s put out lately, he just proved that he’s hard enough to take some time. Another benefit for him is that he’ll be able to kiss all the men that he wants to, I just hope Baby doesn’t get too jealous. I’m willing to bet that when Wayne comes out of the joint he’ll be rapping back the way he used to...good.

This kinda made me think: with T-Pains recent mock funeral, Kanye going to hide in a hole (Amber Rose) for the next month or so and Wayne going away for a while, are we witnessing the death of autotune? Somebody should kill Ron Browz just to make sure.

I’m out.
