Will 6ix 9ine end up like Epstein?

The rat sentenced to his maze.

After what I believe feels like an eternity to Tekashi 6ix 9ine, he has finally been sentenced in the trial of his favorite singing. 24 months in prison. reported by TMZ, this generations most favorite snitch will, by the end of it all, have served 24 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release, 300 hours of community service, and a hefty $35K  fine.

Sitting there in prison scrubs and hair almost completely black, you would hardly recognize the "Fifi" rapper who was previously nicknamed "Skittles" by his critics. He showed almost no reaction, probably knowing there was a racket going on with bets that he would cry at sentencing.  After serving over half of his prison sentence thus far, you would think he would be happy to only have to complete 11 months in prison. But, maybe he's worried about how he will be treated in prison while awaiting his End Of Sentence. Will he be protected by the police the way snitches usually are, or will they protect him like they did Jeffrey Epstein. Because I mean, you know, Epstein didn't kill himself. 

With this new generation it is very hard to tell. We all know that snitches are to be treated as if they were lepers with contagious diseases, if not left in a ditch bleeding out, according to the rules to the game. And, just because you lock up members of a gang do not mean that gang is now inactive or have an inability to get things accomplished. 

So should we be on standby to see if Tekashi comes up missing or murdered/ suicided? Tell me what you think?

Shots fired on set

Kanye almost catches slugs meant for 6ix9ine.

                                                               

Pitchfork reported that shots were fired on the set of a video for the controversial rapper, and no not Kanye this time but Tekashi 6ix9ine, newest song. No one was hit, but it is reported that Kanye left the set immediately. Nick Minaj wasn't scheduled to arrive later but it is clear Kanye may have a loose screw but he is not about to be catching rounds for anyone but hisself. After his altercation earlier this month with his bodyguard being shot, it seems people are not feeling the fact that he dodged prison with his Pedophile Case and received probation with a Sex Offender Registration.

I just keep thinking to myself who works with, let alone put their name behind, someone with a child sex case in their history. Unfortunately this is the sad present state of of my beloved HipHop.

How artists stay Relevant.

Tips and tricks to get free publicity.

Young thug is in jail because of a failed drug test while on probation for his September 2017 arrest on drug and firearms.

Jeffery Lamar Williams, AKA Young Thug, was charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, as well, as possession of XANAX, codeine, and ecstasy. He also had two firearms in his presence that, being a previous convicted felon, violates the law. In 2015, he caught a felony drug and gun charge that he beat prior to catching these newer charges. 

After pissing dirty for his probation officer he was immediately taken into custody prior to a scheduled arraignment. This will without a doubt be something his publicist will use in their next marketing scheme.

Clifford Harris, AKA T.I., was arrested in 2007 for trying to buy illegal firearms from undercover federal agents. This was in response to the killing of his friend, bullets he say was meant for him. So as this wasn't a publicity stunt, it kept him in the headlines for almost a year as he was sentenced and then prepared for his prison stay by cutting one of his most mature Albums in his discography, Papertrail. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 568,000 copies in its first week, becoming T.I.'s highest debut sales to date, and the fourth highest debut of the year. The album was eventually certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on August 27, 2009. It received generally favorable reviews from critics, and is T.I.'s most successful to date.^[1] The album spawned eight singles, four of which reached the top five of the Billboard Hot 100, with two singles peaking at number one.

I'd be amiss if I didn't mention the artist that started all, my personal Favorite, Tupac Amaru Shakur, Born LeShane Parrish Crooks. Shakur began serving his prison sentence on sexual-assault charges at Clinton Correctional Facility on February 14, 1995. Shortly afterward, he released his Multi-Platinum album Me Against the World. Shakur became the first artist to have an album at number one on the Billboard 200 while serving a prison sentence. Me Against the World made its debut on the Billboard 200 and stayed at the top of the charts for four weeks. The album sold 240,000 copies in its first week, setting a record for highest first-week sales for a solo male rap artist at the time.

So as you can see controversy has always been at the core of the rap culture and seems to generate sales rather than the opposite which is awareness of the times. As your career evolves you will also have to find ways to stay relevant. As there will be artists that are vying for your spotlight. The king of it all right now seems to be Tekashi 6"9' as even though he made up the entire story showed up on Chief Keef block when told not to. So there will always be controversy the question is whats yours.
