For a decade, Lil Wayne has been hip-hop’s great unstoppable force, a 24-hour-a-day recording machine without an off button. But on February 9th, Lil Wayne will have to stop — for 12 months, when he reports to prison to serve a sentence for gun possession stemming from a 2007 arrest in New York City. Rolling Stone stays up all night with Weezy as he prepares to get locked down in their new issue, which is on sale now.
What's wit these rappers and jail. Does it boost their streets cred.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think fans care much anymore about the rapper’s street credibility, as long they got skillz and keeping it real. That thuggish image thing died with Pac & Biggie. The likes of Kanye, Lupe, Jay, Drake, Jeezy including Weezy have brought a different face to Hip Hop, showing that you ain’t got to be gangster to sell records or accepted in the Hip Hop community.
