MTV Asks Stupid Question Regarding Lil Wayne

MTV isn’t much about “the music” these days, but it certainly supports musicians whenever given the chance. The latest example is an article that ran this weekend with the headline: “Why is Lil Wayne’s Sentence so Severe?”
MTV is just another outlet that does the usual PSA’s saying “increasing the peace,” while still hyping up the lifestyles of so-called gangsta rappers and other celebrity thugs. So when Jayson Rodriguez writes that Lil Wayne was sentenced to a year for illegal firearms possession, yet points out that he could have faced more time, we’re left to wonder why MTV asks stupid questions. In fact the article says:
“Had the rapper not struck a deal with prosecutors, he could have been looking at a mandatory minimum of three and a half years in prison if he was found guilty by trial.”
The real question is whether the average citizen would have gotten such a deal, so maybe MTV I ask you, “why’d Lil Wayne get such a little sentence?
