Rapper Ja Rule has turned himself into a NY prison today to serve a 2 year sentence he was hit with in 2010 for pleading guilty to an attempted criminal possession of a weapon,Which was all stemming from a 2007 incident in which cops found a loaded semi-automatic handgun in his sports car. When about his thoughts about his upcoming sentence he had this to say to rap-up
I got friends doing life in prison. I speak to my man [Kenneth] Supreme [McGriff] and he almost got the chair. The fact that he’s still breathing, I’m just like, 18 months? Are you serious? Some people sit in the hole for that long. You sneeze at this shit and you get it over with and you do it. I stopped smoking weed, though, about a month ago. There’s not going to be weed inside and if there is, I don’t want to fuck around with that shit. So I kicked the habit now. I smoked weed every day of my life for as long as I can remember. But I pride myself on being strong-minded. When asked about plans on recording the rapper stated,I don’t know if I’ll be able to record, but I’ll definitely be writing. I haven’t written rhymes in about 10 years. I got it from Jay-Z, who got it from Big. It may feel weird, but it’s just going to be impossible to store all that shit in my brain. But I’m in a great headspace right now. I’m 35. I’ve grown up a lot.. His last words to family from the courtroom before going behind bars were “See y’all later,” he said, turning and waving to his wife, Aisha, his mom, and mother-in-law, who sat in the largely-deserted courtroom.
