Rappers Who Served Longer Sentences Than Brock Turner

The sheer injustice surrounding Brock Turner's case is mind-boggling at best.

Rappers Who Served Longer Sentences Than Brock Turner

The infamous Brock Turner, a Stanford student, who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman, only spent three months behind bars. A prosecutor rebutted that he should have spent six years, but the judge ruled he only spend six months.

A slap on the wrist if you will, for a completely heinous crime.

It's clearly no secret the criminal justice system is tragically flawed, prejudiced, utilizes white privilege – do I even need to continue?

The point is, when you consider the fact that Meek Mill, who’s been sentenced to two to four years for violating his probation from 2008 for popping wheelies on his dirt bike and getting into a fight, you can’t help but to think that the “law” isn’t a determining factor in Meek Mill’s case.

When sexual assault in California is punishable for up to at least two to four years, you know Turner had privilege on his side. But, to reveal the stupidity of this whole ordeal, here are more rappers who have served more time than Brock Turner.


Lil Wayne

In 2007, Weezy pleaded guilty to attempted possession of a weapon in the second degree. He was sentenced for up to year, but the judge reduced the sentence to eight months. Because of good behavior, he only served four months.

Gucci Mane

Our reformed Guwop was charged in federal in 2013 for two counts of possessing a firearm as a felon. He was sentenced to serve three years and three months in prison. Given his criminal background, some would say this was unexpected. But did he rape an unconscious woman? I think not. Onward.

Lil Kim

She was sentenced to serve a year and a day in federal prison, and pay a $50,000 fine for perjury because she was withholding the truth about a shooting amongst some rappers with beef in 2001. She ended up only serving 10 months.

T.I.

He was sentenced to 11 months in prison for being in possession of the drug, Ecstasy, which violated his probation.

Beanie Sigel

This rapper was sentenced to and served one year and one day of prison in 2004 for federal weapons charges.


Compared to these seemingly minute cases, Brock Turner definitely should have received more time behind bars. What he did was both disturbing and monstrous, and no one should be able to walk the streets after the crime he committed.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
