I suppose I could put some of his music on but this was just the first thing I thought of. So to familiarize you with his music if you haven't heard, here's one of my favorites. I'm not the biggest fan in the world or anything but dude is talented. He fux with the fugees and helped write and produce a couple of songs on The Score.
The biggest cop you've seen thus far...To me it seems real but who knows. Seems like this person who has the photos is intent on releasing them one at a time.
The 27-year-old singer, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was expected to be sentenced to 1,500 hours of community service talking to youth groups around the country, followed by about 12 months in prison, according to two people familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plea deal had not been finalized yet Thursday morning.
Damn... He got a great deal considering what he faced:
He was charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as possession of firearms by a convicted felon. He faced a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count.
Nothing is final yet, so if any changes are announced, I will surely edit the post. UPDATE:
TIP is to serve one year and one day in prison, perform 1000 hours community service and pay a $100,000 fine. The sentence of over 1 year makes him eligible for %15 reduction in time for good behavior. He will be sentenced March 27th 2009 and likley start his prison term then. HOWEVER, if he fails to abide by these terms, and fails to show responsibility for his actions, he may end up sentenced to 97 Months (8 years + Change) in jail.
The Game issued a statement on Thursday (March 13) apologizing for all of the confusion over his release from the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles earlier this week. It all started on Monday when website TMZ.com announced that the rapper had been released after serving only eight days of a possible 60 day sentence on a weapons conviction. But later on that afternoon, his manager Jimmy Rosemond issued a statement stating that Game had not in fact been released and was simply being transferred to another jail. When MTV News attempted to get to the bottom of the discrepancy, both Game’s attorney and officials at Twin Towers insisted that he was free.
The Game’s statement read as follows:
“I apologize for the conflicting news on my release, but due to the sensitive negotiations on this matter I felt it appropriate not to give an exact date on my release. I am truly grateful to my attorney, family and management for doing a great job in this respect. Upon my release I went directly to the studio with producers Cool & Dre and recorded several records including my street record ‘Big Dreams.’ Thank you to all my fans as well for the support.”
Props to XXL for getting this story straight. We can all put our 'FREE GAME' T-Shirts away now, and look forward to hardcore records talking about the reality that is hollywood jail. Sidebar: Someone listen to GRODT and count how many times 50 Cent mentions he "did a 3 to 9."
