I’ve never been a big part of this “rap game,” but I still think I could offer some solid advice to ensure that you’re part of it beyond the age of 22.
For starters, shooting a man over weed is highly frowned upon. But writing a song about doing so and leaving the lyrics out at your house so the police can find them and use them against you at the trial in which you now stand charged with first-degree murder? Yeah, you shouldn’t have done that either.
Gonzales “Snoop” Wardlaw will spend the rest of his life in the clink after being convicted of killing a man in a South Carolina Olive Garden parking lot because he was unhappy with the man’s marijuana for sale.
Wardlaw insisted he acted in self-defense, but the rap lyrics the Columbia Police Department found at his house kind of told a different story, including “hit him in the chest” and “caught ’em at da Olive Garden.” He also wrote about making sure the people who slighted him wound up dead.
According to UPI, once Wardlaw admitted the lyrics were his, it took the jury only 50 minutes to convict him.
On the bright side, Wardlaw shouldn’t have a shortage of things to write about in prison, especially if he drops the soap.
