Lil Wayne is heading to jail for this fine year of 2009. People are always talking about rap, and wanting to make a good name for the brand, but then things like this happen.
According to E Online, the rapper plead guilty to an attempted weapons possession, and will now spend one-year in prison.
This, after he got into a gun scandal with police around 2 years ago. At the time, he was at a concert in Beacon Theater New York City, when police found a loaded .40-caliber pistol.
It sounds like Lil Wayne, who will be in jail between 2009 - 2010, got a pretty good deal. He could've been in jail for 3.5 years, and a maximum of 15. He got lucky. "He could have gotten a much longer sentence if convicted on the original, more serious gun charges." Way to dodge a longer sentence, Lil. :)
More information about this 2009 case can be found around the web. I'm not surprised by Lil Wayne having a gun, or anybody else. But again, when a rapper does something bad, it just makes things look that much worse for the brand / genre.
It's too bad too, because I really believe rap is beginning to get itself more and more out of the clear, but when people read about this, it digs a whole that was originally only 3 feet deep, 6 feet deeper.
Hopefully, Lil Wayne will learn something during his 2009 - 2010 jail sentence, or maybe not.
UPDATE: It seems that I have made a mistake; It seems like Lil Wayne will have another hearing on December 15th, 2009, before his final sentencing in February of 2010. Until then, we'll be hearing a lot more about this case.
I wonder if Perez Hilton covered this story? What could he have drawn on Lil Wayne's face? Probably the usual garbage.
