Free T.I. And Free Lil Wayne
What is it with these entertainers? Either they are owing Uncle Sam s**t loads of money or they are going to jail. According to Da Leak.com Rapper Lil Wayne is expected to accept a plea deal tomorrow that would allow him to serve 8 months in prison for his recent gun charges in New York. If convicted however he could get a sentence of over 3 years… These rappers need to stop taking these lines they spit so seriously. Once you get to a certain level in your career/life you cannot partake in that same old hood s**t. Let it go. It is not hot.
A hearing for the rapper began on the highly sensitive DNA profiling technique used to tie him to a gun found on his tour bus in 2007. Proponents see the process, sometimes called low copy number DNA profiling, as a powerful tool for closing cases by identifying people from the DNA in just a handful of cells. Skeptics question its reliability. For Lil Wayne, it could be a crucial piece of a case that carries a minimum 3 1/2-year prison term if he’s convicted. He has pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges. The hearing on the scientific status of the DNA technique is expected to extend for days; his trial is due to start Jan. 20.
Prosecutors say small amounts of DNA found on the loaded weapon connect it to the platinum-selling artist. Defense lawyer Stacey Richman says the gun wasn’t Lil Wayne’s, and the testing technique is too problematic to prove otherwise.
Update: Lil Wayne Pleaded Guilty. He will be sentenced in February.

Free T.I., Lil’ Wayne, and all our talented young artists from the mentality that drives them to continually put their families and careers at risk for dumb sh*t.
At the end of the day (quoting Chris Brown) – it’s not worth it.
These guys need to grow up. When did going to jail become a rite of passage into manhood? I don’t have a problem with anyone carrying a gun…legally. Just do things the right way and set a better example. Be responsible.
And stop wearing those damn tight skinny jeans! (just a pet peeve of mine).
