Street Cred

That's what she'll get out of the whole deal:

• Melanie “Mello Buckzz” Doyle, the rapper whose River North album release party preceded the deadliest mass shooting in Chicago history, has been sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to illegally possessing a handgun found beneath her driver’s seat during a traffic stop.

  Doyle, 25, resolved the gun case unusually quickly, pleading guilty on October 26, barely four months after her arrest. That is lightning-fast by Cook County standards, where similar gun possession cases often take about a year to resolve.

We pause here for a second to object to the term "deadliest mass shooting." The St Valentine's Day Massacre was far deadlier. She might have the title of "most casualties," but far from deadliest.

Back to the matter at hand - the business hosting the event closed permanently. Four people died and another fourteen were nursing wounds of varying degrees.

Doyle still has a recording contract, is still writing violence-praising lyrics, singing gang BS in her songs, and now gets street cred for prison time.  

Who exactly wins in this scenario?
