Lower (no) profile, no money (relatively speaking), priors, that Obstruction charge plus he wouldn't talk means he got what TI didn't. TI had a special situation as an asset to his label so them lawyers managed to pull massive strings..and he also cooperated (use your common sense you don't need an article to tell you that).

Should've pled out they probably offered like 5 years. Prodigy had something similar with New York, just pled out to the 3 and now he's back home and doing just as good as before he left.

BG ruined his career. Sounds corny to say but he had every opportunity to do it the right way and just couldn't leave the streets alone. From what I've heard he's definitely not a studio thug by any stretch and probably felt like he needed to be armed to protect himself..it's crazy down there in NO...but this part of the game when you want to be about that life.

And to top it off he got that Heroin addiction...that withdrawal gonna be a bitch

To my knowledge he kicked the heroin addiction a few years back. It was crazy how Birdman apparently used that against him to keep him under contract with Cash Money back in the day.

**Dre** · 07-20-2012, 07:48 AM

Birdman is a low down MFer

I find these song titles amusing now.

Chris used to be a cool guy when he was younger. Used to go to the same GT program as me when we were kids. He just got mixed up with the wrong crowd. This is a shame.

Hold ya head, Gizzle

Way to up that street cred

Y2A, Straight Chillin, and a lesser known rapper named Slangston Hughes were all friends of mine when they were young.

Laws vary from state-to-state, but for most you have to have a license and the gun has to be registered.

Plus, convicted felons can't have em.
