5 Rappers With Crimes Worse Than Cardi B

Some of y'all got real defensive when Cardi B revealed some of her old money-making schemes. Funny you all speak out against her, but I don't hear a peep about these other top charting artists.

The rap game is tough, a lot of people have a lot of stories. Some far worse than others. Most of the heat Cardi got for that incident was pretty excessive. Then I was so annoyed when people wanted to stretch it far enough to compare her to Bill Cosby. No, not even close. Don't you dare put his victim's in the same boat as these men who were only robbed?

If you ever actually listen to rap, and NOT JUST CARDI'S MUSIC THAT PLAYS ON THE RADIO then you probably weren't too bothered by the issue when it hit the news last week. Maybe even laughed at a meme or two.

It's funny because I can find you 30 songs in like two minutes that depict killing and robbing and assault on worse levels than Cardi ever reached. A lot of this heat for Cardi came from those people who only listen to rap music that is appropriate enough to play on the radio but don't ever pay attention to the other side of the rap industry.

Let's be clear here that all you people comparing Cardi's newest controversy to Bill Cosby are WAY out of whack. Cardi never raped these men, never even had intentions of sleeping with these men. She saw an opportunity and she took it.

Criminal as it was, she never raped or sexually assaulted anyone. So get out of here with that Bill Cosby comparison nonsense. Here are other rappers people refuse to recognize for their crimes that are way worse than Cardi.


1. Kodak Black

Armed robbery, kidnapping, child neglect, sexual assault...need I go on?

2. Xxxtentacion

No RIP here for this piece of work. Not only was his music trash, so was he. With multiple felony charges, some of the most notable are assault against his girlfriend, tampering with evidence, and witness harassment..

3. Gucci Mane

Charged with aggravated assault with deadly weapon and drug charges and a few other crimes he spent quite some time behind bars.

4. R. Kelly

Sexual assault and child pornography. Disgusting human being.

5. T.I.

Sent to federal prison for weapons charges.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
