O/T: Lil Wayne sent to Rykers Island today

[2010]

That's crazy stuff, man. Would you say it's usually the physically stronger people that take control or is it people that have a good balance of intellect, character, but also substantial strength? Is it a guarantee that you have to fight for the throne?

Combo of mentally and physical titans are the ones who run ****. If you're a big brute but you got no smarts then it'll be canceled out by the numbers-game when cats form like voltron on you. Same theory is that if you're a brain but you lack muscle you are incapable of instilling the fear factor you'd need to garner enough respect to gain control of a house. No way anyone gains the throne if they are not willing to fight for it. It takes the perfect blend of muscle/mental to hold down a house.

What's wrong with wanting to know about how the hierarchy works? Who knows when any one of us will go in. People make mistakes every day.

Go watch Oz, then you'll know exactly how to act and what to expect if you ever go to prison.

Amazing the day finally came, I was starting to think that he would come up with some undisclosed illness to continue to stay out. Bus didn't break down? Amazing.

Like they say you only do two days, the day you go in and the day you come out. Is there a O/U on Lil Wayne coming out Muslim?

So, I guess, with anything in life, a balance is desirable. No extremes.

He don't need to convert to Islam for protection (the *real* reason most inmates do). He's already a blood so they gonna hold him down. Word already is out there that he family so when he arrives they'll be ready to embrace him. It's the others he'd have to watch out for. All it takes is ONE person who doesn't give a phucc to hit him up. It's as simple as, one house returning from chow while Wayne and his house are on their way. If somebody is feeling froggy then it could end up being one whole house vs another. If somebody set it on Wayne, his whole house would go out for him just to be included in the legendary jumpoff "yo Wayne got banged and WE ALL WENT OUT FOR HIM"

There was an article last week that pointed out how he'll be alone in a cell with a television and a wide selection of movies.

Exactly! This is why I said there's no way in hell he'd ever see general pop. His ass is going to PC whether he likes it or not (per Warden orders) LOL

I'm not even going to pretend to know how the whole prison ratios are right now. However I'm sure he will write 20 mixtapes worth during his bid.

[Mecca]

Anyone know how long he'll be locked up?

Or on the flip side he might totally get writers block and not be able to write too much material considering his inspiration is largely fueled by drugs (weed, heroin, syrup, etc.) and he won't have access to all those vices on Rikers.

Also at the same time I can see a few more songs like I feel like Dying, even without the drug influences.

PWNED!!!!

one thing about these southern rappers.. Up north cats really don't feel them the way these cats do down here..this is not Jay Z going to jail or puffy, those guys would probably get cut some slack.. but weezy has no pull up north I bet.. LOL

Celebrity rappers-turned-inmates at Rikers get treated like KINGS...by staff, CO's, warden, etc.

However, treatment by other inmates? Well that's another story. Two things happen: 1). you get the dicc-riders who think if they align themselves with the celeb and "hold him down" that upon their release their efforts will not be forgotten and they will be "taken care of" when they get out and reconnect with the celeb/rapper. On the other hand 2). you got the extortionists and cats looking to make a name for themselves at the celeb/rappers expense. Their mentality is "look, I don't give a phucc who you are...in HERE this is MY WORLD and I'M THE CELEB...now come up off them kicks, my nygga" LOL. So Wayne will never make it to GP (general population) for that reason. He will be in protective custody (even against his own will if he prefers GP). For example, Wayne is a known "blood". You got crips on the Island who'd love to earn their stripes off Weezy F-Baby.

But lets pretend for arguments sake that there was the possiblity of Wayne going to GP. Most of the Island inmates are housed in dorms called "houses" by jail jargon. There are as much as 75 inmates in each house with only 1 CO. The CO goes in the "bubble" (observation room) and isn't always walking the house floor. The house is similar to military barracks. You got 75 beds in the house but sometimes there might only be 60 inmates in the house. Yet still, you got like 10 imates sleeping on the floor despite the 15 extra beds. Lets just say if Wayne was in GP and ended up in a house run by the crips he'd prolly be sleeping on the floor or run out the house by the end of his 1st day in there. Each inmate is allowed phone time. Yet the goon who runs the house (not the CO) is usually the one who regulates the phone. Some goons who are on some dictator schit even sleep with the receiver and take it off the line when they feel like it. If you don't got props in the room but you're lucky, you might be given "Dougie Fresh" (which means 6mins) LOL. From the old skool song lyrics "6 mins Dougie Fresh you're on" LOL. If you go over that 6mins, you might get your jaw broke or your dome cut wit your head stitched up looking like "Mr. Met" LOL

I found this damned fascinating, man. Any other interesting information you want to throw at us? I don't think I'm alone when I say this was one of the best realgm posts of the year.

Plus his gang affiliation(which isn't pure) because LA Bloods made Birdman/Weezy pay dues just for cred. They got mashed up on and had to pay out of pocket for being in the wrong place at the wrong time as a lesson to the streets. So he could get it from both sides...Enemy side...Gang affiliated side knowing he isn't authentic.

Jail is no game man. It's very different from PRISON and most can't distinguish the differences between the two. Jail is short-term housing (less than 2yrs) before sentencing. The reality of what kind of time the inmate will be doing hasn't hit him yet. Often he's sitting there for upwards of a year awaiting trail and the system is dragging. He begins to not give a phucc. Whereas in prison guys are already sentenced, know what kind of #'s they're dealing with and are looking forward to parole. They DO give a phucc and are less likely to get crazy unless they are lifers or dudes doing football #'s. On the island, EVERYONE is there on a short-term stay which is why it's a much more violent environment and dudes dread the island and can't wait to get sentenced and shipped upstate. Anything you wanna know in particular just ask...

Good theory in principle but in reality NO EAST COAST BLOOD IS AUTHENTIC so they will not check him the way a West Coast blood would. East coast bloods will accept him regardless because they will be eager to have him rep their set.
