I’m sure he’s not the only one to imbellish his “run ins with the law” to try to get street cred. I wonder how many other rappers/r&b acts who rap/sing about the hood, selling drugs, gangs, and incarceration have ever actually lived that life (or are being completely honest in the details). Record execs know that the “bad boy” image even if it’s a hoax will sell to adolescents. Also, it’s hard to take guys like ice cube, ice tea, and snoop dogg seriously when they talk about the hood and 187’s, etc etc. Cmon man. Cube is a family film actor. Ice tea who once rapped about killing cops is now playing a cop on tv. and snoop wants to be percieved as a family man. They are living in mansions not the hood so it’s just not believable listening to their “hardcore” stories anymore. There once was a rule in music. Write what you know. Now it’s just write to sell records. What a shame.

hey, how about i bust you in the mouth?

what’s funny is that who do you think correction’s officer’s actually are? this don’t make him not street…. think about it….

Akon was in prison, in fact he was my cell mate for 2 years. I used to “f” him every night. That boy can move real good.
