Celebrating HH50 week by bringing back some of Rolling Stone's most iconic rap covers. 📖 issue 1123, LilTunechi Read the incredible 2011 interview:
at the New York City Correctional Institution for Men is about as depressing as you’d expect. Broken pay phone, roachy floors, harsh fluorescent lights. There’s a rusty old vending machine against one wall, and along the other, a bank of blue plastic chairs where wives and mothers wait for their men to be released, watching Oprah reruns in shared silence.
At the far end of the bridge, outside the gate, they’re staked out, waiting. TMZ, MTV News, paparazzi, fans. He was supposed to get out at midnight, so at this point, they’ve been here a few hours — checking their Twitter feeds, trading rumors. One guy says he heard he lost a day of “good time” and won’t get out until tomorrow. Another says that’s bullshit, the cops are just saying that so everyone will leave. The burly corrections officer patrolling the parking lot is having none of it.
As three turns to four turns to five to six, even the die-hards decide to call it a night, so there’s pretty much no one left when the convoy finally rolls up around 8 a.m. Ten blacked-out SUVs moving with paramilitary precision. His mom is in one car; the man he calls his daddy is in another. A Maybach peels off from the pack and drives inside to collect its cargo.
