Can you say he is a wrap

DAAAAAAAAANG!

Looks like that guard at the beginning of the "Must Be Nice" video was right after all. Shame.

I thought this dude really changed his way...........sad..........

COBB COUNTY- COUNT ON BEING BOOKED!!!!

Whut a fuckin dumb shyt..ppl would kill to have hiz oppurtunitiez and thiz douche-cock goez and throwz it all away like tha rest of u ignant azz niggaz..THEY SHOULDA NEVA GAVE YOU NIGGAZ MONEY!!!!

stay up homie , i gon whoop that case

Damn....... Why run? You just make it worse. I will never understand when you are afforded such opportunities to do better why we still chose the streets and to do simple minded things.

We have to get rid of this street thinking! What is it getting us except locked up?

J Blaze... u must be white because you're a racist m%tha f&cka!!!!

lyfe jennenins my nigga, wat happen shitt, i cant call it, we riding for u keep yur head up, fuck wat all dez bitch ass nigga is writing u no wats really good

it dnt stop
bgf
till the casket drops

Now, let's see if he get's less than a year in prison like T.I. did who by the way has had more felony convictions than Lyfe, was on probation at the time of his arrest, had more guns than Lyfe, and had fully automatic machine guns compared to Lyfe's one lousey pistol. Use a simple man's logic and seeing as how T.I. got a year for what he had going on, then surely Lyfe should get at the most 90 days house arrest right???? If Lyfe wants to get off as sweet as T.I. did he might have to do what T.I. did, and that is......... snitch!!

I agree, I AGREE with By touch and believe you me there are so many other artists out there that are doing much worse and getting off easy. So for all you haters all I have to say is............BYE HATERS, BYE HATERS, BYE HATERS........ -NL

I heard on the radio that it may have been a situation with the mother of his children. From what I understood, it involved him going to his children's mothers' residence at like 4 in the morning, intoxicated. Something allegedly happened with another man being there, and Lyfe supposedly discharged a firearm. I dont know all the details, but I just feel bad that another brother is back in the system, especially after finding so much success after his 10 yr bid for arson (1992-2002).

All he did was jump his career by getting this latest "street cred". Once he gets out, his star is going to rise. Probably become a rap artist or something like that.

Nothing sells to the kids like gat-blasting, police-hating, street cred.

Cheers!!

nothing sells like tight t-shirts, homo erotic videos staring dancing, bouncing, "lets just have fun" rap stars, bright colored hoodies, flamboyant fake backpacker- but really commercial- but act like they're concious- individuals who spread their catchy! music through our airwaves to distract us from what is really goin on like violence in cities and counties and worldwide violence like futile wars taking place in the middle east (afghanastan, iraq, iran) sponsered by the gov't who pays the police, who are all one step away from the next Rampart, and are responsible for the "hating" RE-ACTION from certain, inner-city, entertainers, GO STREET CRED, the rest of you can dance to love lockdown and check the "REAL HIPHOP" podcast! Have fun at Hollister with your boyfriends! I'll be robbing my seven eleven cause I need some credit, street score
