i saw this somewhere else and these rappers were used as examples. Obviously going to jail is not a good thing, but it seems like going for a short time has actually helped some rappers, expecially in the PR department, and the hype for their releases after jail (as long as the sentence wasnt too long) was probably bigger than the hype they would have gotten if they didnt go

* 2pac <<<Enough said

* Snoop <<< Before career started

* Shyne << constant attention the whole time now people are talking about him again

* Prodigy <<< Hype is building for his release

* Krayzie Bone <<< Just as Bone got together

* Flesh N Bone <<<< Major hype and brought whole Bone is back together to do another album

* TI << More PR than he couldve wished for, VH1 show

* Pimp C <<<< Came back strong but rip

* 50 <<< Before career started

* Gucci <<<< Way more popular now nationally than before he went in

* C Murder (released albums while incarceraed)

* Project Pat <<<< did a big 10 year thru the 90s, didnt have an album before that

* Mac Dre <<<<< MAJOR SUCCESS in hyphy after his stretch, when most thought he was done

* ODB <<<constantly kept him in the news

* Styles P <<< stabbing incident

* Tony Yayo <<<<< Big PR everyone knows he was in jail, white suburban kids love that

* Ghostface <<<< didnt use it as a marketing tool and not many people knew about it, but it may have rejuvenated him to come back with some of his best work and a successful solo career
* Cassidy
* Jadakiss

so what do people here think on this issue putting moral values aside??

What about the careers it ruined

Mystikal
Chi Ali
Slick Rick (his prison album didn't do as well)
X-Raided (released a gang albums but what else is he going to do all day?)
Ras Kass
Turk

Prison is the momentum killer, you have to be a juggernaut to ride that wave.

In a year who will miss Gucci?

KJ Fucks beluga whales cause they ugly and no one else wants them.


In Mac Dre's defense he was successful before the hyphy movement after he got out of jail, and jail probably killed his nationwide chances since he was locked up when Young Black Brotha inked the deal with Atlantic and never dropped a major label album.

It was Layzie Bone, not Krayzie Bone.

It only works for certain high calibur artists usually with mad talent and mass appeal. Pac and TI or prime examples but most of the others are just fly by news spots something for the media just to report. Bad news travels fast but it rarely helps there careers significantly. I agree with Peterson that it usually has the opposite effect due to the fical attention span of the average consumer.

Jail does more harm than good for most rappers who aren't as high-profile as TI or Lil Wayne, especially if his material appeals to the 106 & Park crowd because after the buzz from his most recent hit single dies down and someone else blows up, his demographic is gonna jump on the new artists' bandwagon.
