Why the fuck do these guys needs to carry weapons? Why is it so fucking important to "be packin" to a rapper? I don't want to stereotype but I just
don't get it.
Stories like this just feed the image and shows more poor judgement.
Ugh....

NEW YORK (AP) -- Ja Rule and Lil Wayne have been arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon in separate incidents, police said.
The best-selling rappers were arrested Sunday night shortly after Lil Wayne's concert at the Beacon Theatre. It wasn't immediately clear whether Ja
Rule had also performed.
Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeff Atkins, lives in Saddle Brook, N.J. Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, is from Miami.
Contact information for their managers could not be found early Monday, and there was no immediate response to messages left with their record
company, Universal Motown.
It also wasn't immediately clear whether they had attorneys.
Officers spotted Carter, 24, and another man smoking marijuana by a tour bus near 61st Street and Columbus Avenue at about 11:30 p.m., police said.
The officers took the two men into custody, finding a .40-caliber pistol. Both were charged with criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana.
Atkins, 31, was arrested about an hour earlier on West End Avenue. Police said he was in a luxury sedan that was going too fast. Officers stopped the
car and arrested the occupants - Atkins, the driver and another man - and found a .40-caliber gun, police said.
Atkins rose to fame in the mid-1990s after appearing on a hit song with Jay-Z and later going on to record platinum-selling solo albums.
Carter's albums include "Tha Block Is Hot," "Lights Out," "Tha Carter" and "Tha Carter II."
"Uh Oh" is the name of a new song by the rappers.JawnDiablo - 7-23-2007 at 04:12 PM

I can tell you why Ja Rule carries a gun, he's a scrawny little fuck that could get his ass kicked by a little girl. That fucker is tiny.Muttley - 7-23-2007 at 06:18 PM
Give em the death penalty.
Not for the guns, just for polluting the air with their "rap" music.

Geeze, guys, it's called "street cred". You know, like when some hardcore bands talk about selling drugs or beating up 20 guys by themselves.
But, seriously, these guys are loaded... can't they at least get their bodyguards to commit these felonies???BDx13 - 7-24-2007 at 12:23 AM

either way you stack it it's still shitupyerbum - 7-26-2007 at 04:11 PM
I equate rap to thugcore, same mentality, hip-hop would be more along the lines of your socially conscious hardcore. That's the way I read it anyway.
I have a friend who's been into hiphop since the advent and he fuckin' HATES all that gangsta crap. Personally I can take it or leave it.CR83 - 7-26-2007 at 04:14 PM

i used to have that one song memorized when i was a kid.
Beat Street, the king of the beat

but Beat Street is a lesson too
because you can't let the street's beat you
WELLLLLL
a picture can express a thousand words
to describe all the beauty of life you give
but if the world was yours to do over
i know you'd paint a better place to live
RAMO!!!!!
