Rappers Who Served Longer Sentences Than Brock Turner

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

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.

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.
