Lil Wayne Learns People Go To Jail For Committing Crimes
Some are just slower than others
While you’ll probably read on other much “cooler” blogs the carbon copy story that Lil Wayne is on the new cover of Rolling Stone and that he recently talked to the magazine about his impending jail sentence. However we at Highbrid Nation often like to actually look beyond the news and strike up a conversation about what’s really going on.
Those other guys will remind you that Lil Wayne is scheduled to be sentenced on felony gun charges this month stemming from a July 2007 arrest in New York as a part of his plea deal.
But what about Weezy’s quote about being shocked by the possible jail sentence?
“I didn’t know I was gonna be going to jail,” an Astonished Wayne told the magazine as if just learning of his impending fate. “This happened at the height of my career! Nobody knows the future.”
? Dude…you were carrying an illegal handgun in New York City over two years ago and it took you until your October 2009 guilty plea to realize that you could actually do time? Who’s his lawyer, Mickey Mouse?
This is the SAME Lil Wanye who was so outspoken on his ESPN Blog (that I raved about oh by the way) in his concern and THEN very educated commentary about Plaxico Burress and his illegal weapons case in the very same city.
I know I’m over simplifying it and I realize I have to take into account that Wayne must have believed that his world renown celebrity would some how allow him to transcend the law but this isn’t Monopoly there are no “Get out of Jail Free” cards.
I guess it also wasn’t until his third child that he realized “Oh so if I stick this…in there, there’s a possibility that 9 months later I can have on of these…cool!”
Admittedly I’ve been very critical of Wayne but I’ve also given props when respect was due but come on this is what kids are looking up to and the level that every rapper wants to be at?
Oh and just in case yall think I was being too hard on him…read the rest of his quote and somebody decode that for me please.
“This is not something you get no advice on,” he said. “This is Lil Wayne going to jail. Nobody I can talk to can tell me what that’s like. I just say I’m looking forward to it.” Oh really?!
“I look at things as ‘Everything is meant to be. I know it’s an experience that I need to have if God’s putting me through it. So I don’t look at it as wrong, I just … I damn sure don’t look at it as right, that’s all.”
I quit.

I hope he has enough time to convert to Islam
God is putting him through this? Really? God put that gun in his pocket (or wherever it was)? … then again, would you really expect this guy to say something insightful or wise? He has a faceful of tatoos!!! how smart could he be??!!
Say NO to drugs!
He supposed to be a hardened thug. Surely he knows someone that can explain what Jail is like? smh.
rappers = sacks of shit.
Tired of these buffoons making us look bad.
nyc tryna make examples of these famous people thinking they can do whatever look at least he can join plaxico
COCAINE’S A HELL OF A DRUG !!!!!
He’s on Fire by @criscash2fly4tv http://www.zshare.net/audio/7199125937259ca5/ -SMASHIN WAYNE SHES ON FIRE BEAT!
And this nigger, and all that he has to say, is what whites think about when they come in contact with a civil, educated, level headed, black person!! SMH, we are all doomed!!
When you’re rich and high you feel like you can say whatever you want whenever you want. Hopefully prison will sober him up in the short term. Remember when billboard did the article on when they think Lil Wayne would die from a drug overdose I think he’s trying to speed the process up.
Well shit happens & and nobody is perfect so him doing time for something he did two years ago isn’t surprising or even wrong….he just has to know that he has to get a permit for yo damn guns you rich as fuck with millions and you can’t get a permit? come on now weezy…even if it’s an illegal gun have somebodey hold it if you see the police come’n…ya know like a cameramen or somebody that is easy to replace…so they take one for the team…gotta be smart weezy i know you are dawayne…
