Former Hot Boys Rapper B.G. Headed Off to Prison

Former "Hot Boys" rapper B.G. says he is mentally prepared for prison. His case stems from a traffic stop in 2009, in which he was charged with gun possession, and later with witness tampering.

B.G. is focusing on being positive as he enters prison, as the 14 year sentence he received was actually good news. "I am relieved I found out what my fate was yesterday because I was facing 30 years and my case kept getting pushed back. I am just ready to get my sentence started because it's not RIP BG, it's free BG...I feel happy and blessed that I will still be a young man and still be able to see daylight because I am someone, a dad, a brother and a son." Like so many other rappers, B.G. plans to release music from jail. "I will have upcoming music that will be released while I am away," he said.

B.G.'s imprisonment comes soon after another former "Cash Money" rapper, Turk, just finished his bid.

Free speech works difterenfly for different kinds of speech. Most people don't like the idea that there are different kinds of speech until they get burned by one, e.g. spam is a form of commercial speech.History shows that unless someone is using speech to immediately incite unlawful action, it's best to keep it out in the open rather than bottle it up.Irving's speech is subversive and seditious. His audience has designs that have no regard for the liberty of others. So he doesn't have any right to say it but at the same time we can't simply bottle it up.I'm in favor of free speech not because I respect the non-right of others to advocate taking my freedoms but because blanket free speech tends to work against those who would take away my liberties.
