THE RAPPER ROUND UP: LIL WAYNE & JA RULE ARRESTED ON GUN CHARGES | LIL FLIP ARRESTED ON CREDIT CARD FRAUD
Monday, July 23, 2007

Rappers Lil Wayne and Ja Rule were arrested Sunday evening after a concert in Manhattan on charges of criminal possession of weapons, each in separate incidents, a New York Police Department spokesman told CNN.
Police say officers pulled over a speeding car around 10:37 p.m. on the Upper West Side carrying Ja Rule and two others.
They also recovered a .40-caliber pistol from the vehicle.
About an hour later Lil Wayne was arrested after officers caught him and another man smoking marijuana on the street.
They found a .40-caliber pistol in his possession.

NIGGAS!!
These mofos need to understand that this is the lifestyle so many claim they were tryna to leave, so why is that that they act like they still in da hood at the corner store? NIGGAS!! I hate using this word, but sometimes it needs to be used.
Instead of smoking weed in the streets with a .40 caliber, they need to be mentoring fatherless little black boys, and teaching them how to be men…but i guess you can’t teach a boy to be a man, when you still act like boy.
NEXT!!!

SMH….It’s a pub stint on Ja-Rule and Lil-Wayne’s azz. I heard they have a single dropping and it’s funny how the both of them got caught up on or about the same time? Whatever Jah—-He knows he’s lost street cred after the 50 cents mess, and he has to still seem hard!
As far as Lil Flip, a lot of these rappers are posers….there are not too many rappers in the game that first make a joint and is making the kind of cash to be posing with airplanes, rolli’s, new cars and new homes. A lot of that ish is for sho! Lil Flip was never in T.I.’s league. In fact it took T.I.’s second album for him to be making enough bread to stop hustling….Even Notorious B.I.G. was still hustling off of his first demo, when dumb diddy asked B.I.G. to stop flipping “burners in the suitecases”. A lot of these rappers do not have the staying power to stay in the game long enough to make mad dough….Lil Flip ain’t the first to be busted literally broke, and ain’t the last!

I don’t know what is wrong with everyone wanting to be a gangster. I’m sure it’s not
glamorous once they are in jail. When they are put in jail with normal criminals they
will regret trying to be all hard. Lil Wayne looks to little to be in jail and defend himself against the down low brothers. Maybe he will like it, unless that picture of him and Baby was a fraud.I think when you are so blessed as these people are you should find other things to do than become criminals.

My question is–If Ja Rule was speeding, why in the hell is NYPD searching his damn car?? Why couldn’t they just give him a speeding ticket like everybody else. They had no legit reason to be searching for shit. I tell you the truth I can’t stand police officers sometimes (But I know I’ll be the 1st to call they ass if I’m in trouble, lol) And for Lil Wayne, thats boo!!! and that’s exactly how I like’em thugged out and smoking weed on the streets, lol!!! j/k that is my baby though. I’m so sorry he had to get arrested, its okay I’ll be there to rescue you baby!!

Dare I a say this was typical behavior no matter how much money they get they’re still hood nigg@’s need I say more……………….I know a lot of men who make good livings and still do that here in DC. It’s no different from a hussler in the neighborhood who still hangs out with his boys and don’t want to get caught slipping as for the weed I say legalize it. As for Lil’ Flip I know a lot of men who do that and they’re gay hmmm, Wesley I think game’s over for you!

As for Ja…you need to take your ass to a studio and ain’t nobody gonna rob your ass, where the fycking money at? Boy please…
HA HA to Lil Flip…karma is a bytch, all that mess you were talking about TI and look at you now. Tried to play Tip when he was locked up b.cuz you a punk-ass…thats why when he came to DC his ass got robbed on Benning Rd trying to pick up some hoes. Dumb-ass…some folks just are stupid as hell and unfortunately Flip is one of those people.

I was going to go on about how completely moronic these guys are because they can not say that they do not know the law enough to know that what they were doing was illegal. So if these reports are true I will chalk it up to pure arrogance on behalf of Lil Wayne and Ja Rule. Because only a arrogant person would smoke out in the public and expect not to get caught. Ja Rule come on buddy you know the drill by now even if you are not committing a crime you will always be viewed as doing something “suspicious” by officers so come already and either get a registered weapon if possible or don’t go out if you think it is that dangerous. Either way these guys need to get it together and stop making themselves a negative statistic.
